Faces Of You

22

  Okay, it wasn't Felix who shut the door in his face. It was Yuqi.

  “Yuqi, please. I know Felix told you about us, I just want to talk,”

  Yuqi opened the door, a scowl on her face, “What?”

   “Micah's ex called my sister,”

  “Yeah, they know each other, what is the problem?” she questioned.

  “She basically told Yeji that Micah isn't good news, is that true?” Hyunjin asked.

  Yuqi sighed, “Look, I don't know, there are rumours and stuff, but I don't know. If Jamie called Yeji and told her stuff then maybe it is true, but even if I told him that Jamie said that, but when it comes to Micah… Felix doesn't tend to listen or see what is in front of him,”

   “Then make him see, you can't just let him walk into a relationship that is basically going to destroy him,”

   Yuqi glanced behind her and stepped outside, closing the door behind her.

   “Do you think it is that easy? Yeah, let me just tell him that he shouldn't enter a relationship that could destroy him.

   Last time I did that my best friend stopped talking to me then was crying to me on the bathroom floor and three days later he was in the hospital. I know how this can go and I don't like it either, but there is very little I can do,” Yuqi stated.

   Hyunjin pursed his lips.

   “What is going to happen then?”

  “I don't know, okay? The best I can do is be there for him and make sure nothing happens. The best thing you can do for him is not get involved with Micah or him,”

   “I can't promise that, Yuqi,” Hyunjin told her.

   Yuqi scoffed and shook her head.

  “You guys slept together a handful of times, don't start acting like you know him. You want to be worried for his well being, okay, but you have no reason to get involved with him like this,”

    “You say that you care for him and that you know him, but how can you knowingly let him get into a relationship that is bad for him? It is like you want him in this situation. You not doing anything makes you a bad friend,”

    Hyunjin's head moved slightly as Yuqi's hand connected with his cheek.

   Yuqi's hand was red and Hyunjin was sure it stung about as much as his cheek.

   “You can question a bunch of things about me, but don't question my friendship nor loyalty to Felix.

   He has been my best friend for longer than you and Minho have known each other and if there is one thing I am sure of it is that I would and have gone to hell and back with him,” Yuqi stated her voice shaking with each word.

   “I am going to question it, because you are letting him walk into this knowing that this could be bad,” Hyunjin said.

   Yuqi lips pressed together and her shaking hands balled into fist, if you looked closely her whole body was shaking.

    “If I go to Felix and tell him, I don't think you should date Micah, what do you think he'll do or say?”

  “He'd listen,”

   Yuqi nodded, “He'd listen to what I have to say and then the next time he is with Micah he'll ask if it is true.

  He won't say my name, he'll speak in broad words by saying ‘My friend said’, slowly, but it will happen, Felix will start to distance himself, because Micah started whispering things.

  Soon enough, Felix will just be someone we see on campus. He won't be as happy, but he'll have that smile that everyone loves. Then, it'll be gone. What happens then? If I get involved or you or anyone and everything is true?” Yuqi questioned seriously.

   Yuqi was right and Hyunjin knew it. If they got involved something bad could happen.

  “But if we don't get involved it can still happen and it will happen right in front of us. Sure, we'll be able to talk to him and maybe coax him out of it but what happens if everything you just said happens even with us there? What happens if it gets worse than possibly words? What happens?” Hyunjin asked.

   Hyunjin was right too and Yuqi knew. If they did nothing it could be bad.

  So what were they to do?
