Faces Of You

45

   The drive home was thankfully uneventful, besides when Hyunjin got thoroughly pissed off at Dean for breaking up with Rory the first time.

   “Sometimes it just takes other people longer to say ‘I love you’, the fact that he broke up with for not saying it back is ridiculous,” Hyunjin stated.

   “To be fair to Dean, he is still a teen,” Felix said.

   “Give me a break. If we met when we were teens and started dating, and I told you that I love you and you weren't ready to say it back, I would respect that. I wouldn't break up with you, like a toddler throwing a tantrum,”

   “Hyun, it isn't that big of a deal,”

  The older grumbled, “It just bothers me and the way that he mocks her gets me even more,”

  To say the least, the conversation went on for at least two hours.

  Now though, everyone was settling back home and that itself was messy because everyone was moving.

  “I'm telling you, you need to remove the headboard to move it,” Felix said.

  “To remove the headboard I would need a screwdriver or the right drill bit, I don't have either,” Hyunjin stated.

  “How did we even build that thing in the first place?” Yuqi questioned.

  “Chan,” Felix answered.

“That's right,”

  Hyunjin sighed and put his hair up, “How do you guys not have any tools in this place? I mean how did you fix anything?”

  “We called the landlord,” Felix told him

  “Or Chan,” Yuqi added.

   “I should have seen that coming,”

   “Felix have you seen my kids bop 2016 CD?” Yuqi asked.

  “Uh. Nope…”

 
“Lix…”

  The blond sighed, “In the kitchen pantry in the noodle box by the coffee,” he said.

  “Kids bop?” Hyunjin questioned.

   “Don't ask,” Felix muttered.

  Yuqi went to the pantry and grabbed the noodle box, successfully finding her CD.

   “Thank you. Your complicated CD in in the false back in my closet,”

  Felix's eyes widened, “I thought I lost it in the move,”

  “Nope, was just tired of hearing it,”

   “Okay, I am going to go to the frat house and get the things I need to to take the headboard off,” Hyunjin stated standing up.

   “Hey, what about the frat house, weren't you supposed to be the president for it this year?” Yuqi asked.

  “Most of my friends are leaving because they are graduating or moving and the ones who aren't I can see on campus. I am also not cut out for being president so Junho is taking over,” Hyunjin said.

  “Don’t you have a scholarship with the frat though?” Felix questioned concerned.

  Hyunjin shook his head, “I have a science scholarship,”

  “Wait, you were actually serious about that? I thought you were joking,” Yuqi said.

   “Nope, not joking. Okay, I’ll be back. I’ll bring back some takeout,” Hyunjin told them.

  The two nodded.

   Once Hyunjin left Yuqi turned to Felix, “Do you like him?”

  “That obvious?”

   “Only to me,”

Felix sighed and sat on the couch, “I’m not ready,”

  “Okay, that is fine, no one said you have to jump into it,” Yuqi said.

“The problem with not just jumping into it, is that if he does like me and I wait too long, I might miss any chance I had,” Felix stated.

   “Felix you went through four situations that mentally and physically took a toll on you. All of them happened so close to each other and you are just now talking to someone about it, it is going to take a little to be ready to date,”

   Felix pursed his lips, “That is what I am worried about. This whole time thing,”

  Yuqi bit her lip, “That isn’t the only thing bothering you though is it?”

   The younger shook his head, “That call before we left has been bothering me. He hasn’t contacted me since then, but he still called and he called on a number he shouldn’t have. I mean the number isn’t even under my name,”

The older didn’t want to admit it, but it was bothering her too. The number was under a name that had no links to Felix and yet it was still found.

   “Maybe, you should tell Hyunjin,” Yuqi suggested.

   “About?”

“I think that at some point you should mention the call to him, just in case, but I do think you should tell him how you feel and that while you feel like that you just aren’t ready to start something,”

   Felix pursed his lips.

  “I’ll tell him about how I feel, but not about the call… he doesn’t need to know about that,”

  That is what he would do, he would tell Hyunjin about his feelings.
