The Party That Killed || Hyunlix

28 🕸️

Jisung pov.
I was sitting on the couch, holding my phone in one hand and the TV remote in the other. Seungmin was on the line, and our conversation flowed easily, as usual. We talked about everything and nothing, just like in our daily chats.

“So, what about that chemistry project?” Seungmin asked, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Let’s do it later. It’s just chemistry, right?” I replied, shaking my head.

At one point, I heard a knock at the door. Hearing the sound, I glanced at the clock.

“I have to go, Felix is here” I said, glancing toward the door.

“Is he sleeping over again?” he asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.

“Yeah, ever since that incident at the bar, he keeps asking to crash at my place” I sighed, remembering how much he was struggling with it back then.

“Alright then, talk to you later!” I said my goodbyes and hung up.

I got up from the couch and headed toward the door, a slight smile on my face. Felix was one of those people who could brighten even the darkest day. As I opened the door, I couldn’t wait to see what the evening would bring us.

Felix had been coming over more often since the whole bar situation blew up. He always asked me to hang out, so I wasn’t surprised. When I opened the door, I saw his cheerful face.

“Hey, Felix!” I greeted him enthusiastically.

“Hey!” he replied, stepping inside. “What’s up?”

I closed the door behind him and called out:

“I was just talking to Seungmin. He was asking again if you’re sleeping over.”

Felix laughed, his eyes sparkling.

“So it’s true!” he said, putting his hands behind his head. “I thought he didn’t like me.”

“Don’t exaggerate, he just doesn’t trust you yet when it comes to Hyunjin. After all, he’s his brother” I replied, smiling.

Felix looked at me with a slight grin. I wanted to tell him everything that had been going on, but I knew he needed to sit down first.

“Come on, sit down. I have a few things to discuss” I said, leading him to the living room.

Felix plopped down on the couch, and I handed him a drink.

“Jisung, you have to see this!” he said, showing me a picture.

“Felix, I’ve already seen that” I replied, trying to figure out what was in the picture that had him so worked up.

“Remember when I spilled that shake at the bar?” he asked, and I nodded.

“Yeah, I remember” I replied.

Felix leaned in, placing the picture on the table.

“It was shortly after I saw the same tattoo on Hyunjin's arm” he said, and my heart stopped.

“You’re kidding?” I asked, not believing it.

“No...” he replied, his tone serious.

At that moment, Seungmin and Hyunjin walked into the room, laughing and chatting. When Hyunjin saw us, his smile faded.

“What’s going on?” he asked, and I held my breath.

Felix looked at me anxiously, and I knew we had to be careful.

“Nothing, just talking about school” I said, trying to lighten the mood.

Seungmin gave us a suspicious look, but Hyunjin seemed relaxed.
