Faces Of You

35

  Yuqi hummed as she entered the flat. She had just gotten back from getting boxes with Soyeon.

   Setting the boxes to the side, she closed the front door.

    “Uh, I'm not sure about this…” Yuqi muttered

    Sighing, she went to the kitchen.

  Odd. Pans in the sink, but she didn't see Felix. She left the kitchen and went out to the living room.

   A smile fell on her lips seeing Hyunjin and Felix laying on the couch asleep. Reaching over she grabbed the throw blanket and set it on the two.

  “At least, he'll have someone…” she said softly.

-

   “I'm not sure about moving,” Yuqi said.

   “Why not?” Felix questioned.

  “Because you'll be alone. I mean I am moving to London with Soyeon and Jisung and Minho are moving to Sacramento. Chan is done with school after this year and he is leaving for Australia with Changbin.

    I know Seungmin and Jeongin are technically here, but they go to different school next year. I'm not sure about leaving you alone,”

   Felix hummed, “I'll be fine and I won't exactly be alone. I mean I still have Natty and Belle, as well as… Hyunjin,”

   Yuqi raised a brow, “What is going on between you and Hyunjin?”

   “Nothing,”

   “Really?”

   “Well, I mean for a little we were just you know going at it like rabbits, but the past couple months we've just been hanging out and talking which is nice,” Felix said.

   “But?” Yuqi questioned.

  “But I am so scared that something will happen and I'll screw it up,”

   “I get that, but I also know that come hell or high water, Hyunjin won't leave you,”

   Felix hummed and set some of the books on Yuqi's shelf in the moving box.

   “So, what are you doing for summer break?” Yuqi asked.

   “Whole lot of nothing most likely, why?” Felix questioned.

   “Well, Jisung was supposed to ask, but he forgot. Chan's parents have a beach house up in Jersey. A large group of us are going up there for a few weeks. Heading to the summer carnival, the beach, a Waterpark,”

    “Who is going?”

  Yuqi hummed, “Jisung, Minho, Changbin, obviously Chan, Jeongin, Seungmin, Minnie, Shuhua, Miyeon, Soojin, Myself, Soyeon. Hyunjin said he'll think of it,”

    “Uh, sure I'll go, do I need to buy a plane ticket?” Felix asked.

  “Everyone is driving carpooling mainly. Changbin, Chan, jeongin and seungmin are driving together. Soojin, Shuhua, Minho and Jisung are driving together.

   Then, Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon and I are driving together, but we are driving in Miyeons car so there is extra seating,”

   Felix nodded, “I might just ride my motorcycle up,”

    “Wouldn't that be a little dangerous? It is like a nineteen hour ride,”

   “I don't know. I'll think about it, if not I'll just ride with you guys,”

   Yuqi nodded and continued to pack her stuff. Felix continued to help until his phone rang.

   Private Number

   Felix's brows drew together and he answered the phone, “Hello?”

  “Hey, Lixie, how are you doing?”

  Yuqi watched the colour drain from Felix and fear flash in his eyes.

    “Felix, who is it?” Yuqi asked.

   “Ah, is that Yuqi?” The man asked.

   Yuqi took the phone and put it to her ear, “Hello? Who is this?”

    “Nice to hear your voice, Yuqi. How long has it been?”

   The ravenette's demeanour almost hardened hearing who it was.

  “Lose his number, I mean it. If you even text him I will call the police,” she stated.

   “Now, now, let's not get too hasty with decisions. You wouldn't want to ruin someone's life now would you?”

   “I have wanted to ruin yours for a while and I have all the means to do so, but have not because I was asked not to. So, I mean it, if you so much as accidently text him, I will bring that pretty life you worked so hard to build, down,”

    The call dropped. Yuqi sent the phone on the bed. She was shaking with anger. It had been years since she heard that voice and still it made her so angry.

   “If he calls or even texts, tell me,”

  “Yuqi, you can't,” Felix said softly.

  “Felix I mean it,” Yuqi said.

   Felix grabbed his phone and nodded.

   “I think I am going to go to my room and rest… I'm going to shut my phone off,”

   Yuqi nodded.

   Felix went to his room and laid in his bed.

  After all these years, why now?

   -

    The blond groaned as the bed dipped beside him. His eyes opened and he blinked a couple times adjusting to the dim lighting.

  “Hey, I made you food,”

    “What are you doing here?”

   “You weren't answering your phone and I got worried, so I came over. Yuqi told me you were sleeping so I decided to just make some food,” Hyunjin said.

    Felix nodded and sat up. His hair was a mess. Hyunjin laughed softly and ran his fingers through some of the messy parts.

   “So, why was your phone off? You hate having it off,”

   The blond pressed his lips together, “I… I just was really tired and I didn't want to just suddenly be woken up by my phone ringing,”

Hyunjin hesitated but he nodded.

  “Are you going on the trip up to New Jersey? I just told Chan I'd join,” Hyunjin asked, changing the topic.

   Felix nodded, “I was thinking of riding my motorcycle up there, but I think I I just going to join Yuqi,”

  “How about we drive up together? It is better than being in a car full of couples,”

   The blond chuckled and nodded.

   “Yeah, that sounds good, but remember we are sharing a house with a bunch of couples,” Felix mentioned.

    Hyunjin shrugged, “It should be that bad,”

   Felix smiled.

    At least he wasn't going to be the only other single person during the trip.
