Protector (Changlix)

Chapter Two

Taking a deep breath, Changbin walked through the portal and instantly, he was officially in the city of Seoul. Anyone that walked past didn't bat an eye at him, all too busy either looking at their phones, looking at something else or just talking to someone else. Changbin looked down at the photo he took from Kyungsoo, the photo of the human he was assigned to protect with his life. Lee Felix. Flipping the photo, he looked to see if there was any other information that he needed, other than his name and the university he went to. Nothing. No extra information on the back of the photo. Nothing else to go off of. Flipping the photo back around, he folded the photo in half and placed it in the pocket of his shorts. First things first, he had to find Seoul National University.

Looking left, then right, Changbin relied on his intuition to decide which way to go. He ended up turning right, his eyes constantly looking for his designation. He couldn't miss it. Universities were big, right? Surely he couldn't miss something that was designed to hold thousands of students at a time. He walked past many stores that the street he appeared on had to offer, not paying much attention to any of them. If it wasn't related to his destination or his mission, he couldn't care less about it. He walked and walked, managing to blend in the humans that were out and about.

"Only two weeks in," someone said, "And I already feel like I'm behind on everything."

"I know," someone else had said, "I can only imagine what the last few weeks can be. Come on, we better hurry or otherwise we're going to be late." From the look of their jumpers, Changbin knew he would be able to get to Seoul National University in no time. Following the two students, or what he assumed to be students, he made sure to stay at a distance to not raise suspicion from them or anyone else around. Couldn't risk getting caught for something he wasn't intending to do before his mission. Whenever the students stopped, Changbin stopped as well, whatever turn they took, he took. At last, Seoul National University. He had arrived at his destination. The place his mission would largely take place. Taking out the photo once again, he took in every feature of Lee Felix. Couldn't miss him if Changbin took in every feature the student he was protecting.

Placing the photo back into his pocket, he looked around the university grounds in hopes to see the student out and about. Yet, he wasn't in sight or at least in sight of the current campus area. He had to be somewhere else, or that's what Changbin hoped. If he wasn't on campus that day, he knew he had to search quickly for him. The moment he couldn't see Felix, Changbin walked further into the university grounds, keeping his eyes peeled. A few students sat at tables, others amongst the maintained green grass, some walking to somewhere. Through windows that weren't covered by blinds, a few students sat at desks, writing down something. Knowing that there were some classrooms in use, he had to keep an eye out for them as well, making the mission of finding Felix a little more difficult than originally intended.

The further into the university campus he went, the more students he saw. Some areas were more crowed than others. Yet, Felix wasn't amongst those that were outside. Only two options left. One, he was inside a classroom or another building, or two, he wasn't even on campus that day. He hoped for the first option. Using his enhanced sight, Changbin looked into the classrooms in which the windows weren't covered by the blinds. Occasionally he would walk closer to different buildings, so he didn't look like the weirdo just starting at something in the far distance. Going from window to window, he never stopped hoping or believing of finding Felix somewhere on campus. Walking to another part of campus, the first window he looked in with his enhanced sight, there he was.

The student he was meant to be protecting. Lee Felix himself. Changbin had finally found him, now was the time for his mission to officially start. With not many students or lecturers outside this part of the university, he was able to lean against a tree and stared through the window. His enhanced sight fixed on Felix, not once getting distracted or tempting to look at anything else. Not when he was given this mission for the sole reason of being the hellhound fit for it.

Felix rested his head against his hand. It was almost time for the seminar to end, yet he had grown bored a little over an hour ago. A class he had only chosen to do to fill out for his four units a semester. He looked down at the notes he had made for the past two and a half hours of the class. Things he only wrote down so he wouldn't fail the exam at the end of the semester. Instead of writing down any more notes, Felix placed his pencil down on top of the notebook page and simply stared at the notes he made for a moment. Everything he had written hadn't stuck in his mind yet, but he hoped it would when he would inevitably study later. Silently sighing, he looked up at the lecturer, who was still talking about whatever it was about consumerism. It was just an elective anyway. His major was social welfare.

"I think it is time," the lecturer said, "We take break. How does that sound class?" In unison, the class nodded and replied with a yes.

"Okay, great," she continued, as she looked at the time on her computer, "I say we take a fifteen-minute break and then we will come back. Please try to come back before the fifteen minutes are up, because I will start once the fifteen minutes are up. Okay, have a good break, stretch your legs and maybe get some food if you didn't have something to eat beforehand." Felix, along with the rest of the class got up from their seats and made their way to the door. Felix made his way down the one set of stairs to the first floor and walked out of the building. He stretched his arms over his head and twisted his back side to side. An hour and a half into class left him feeling a bit stiff if he didn't stand up for a bit.

He got his phone out of his pocket. His face id unlocked his phone for him, and he was met with the apps he had on him. He looked through Instagram, scrolling through the posts that were made by a few of his friends from either of his other two units. He liked each post as he scrolled past them. He wanted to make plans with them before the semester became too busy or stressful with assessments and exams later. He continued to look through his Instagram feed for a bit longer before he had caught up with all the post of his friends. Felix turned his phone off and placed it back in his pocket. He was about to turn around but, something had caught his eye. Not something, but someone. Someone leaning against a tree, looking straight at him. At least, he was until Felix looked in his direction.

Felix didn't know if it was just someone waiting for someone else and he looked familiar. Or if it was just his mind playing tricks on him. As much as he wanted to ask what this person was looking at, Felix knew he had a limited time before he had to go back to class. So instead, he made his way back into the building and walked back up the one flight of stairs, walking back into the classroom as soon as he reached the floor. He sat down where he sat down before and waited for the seminar to continue again.
