A/n Pov.

Felix's wandered through the hallway, searching for Minho. He walked back to the main floor, his eyes turning toward the restaurant entrance. Felix hurriedly walked toward it, the chilly night air brushing against his face as he stepped outside, expecting Minho to be sitting somewhere.

But Minho wasn't there. Only the faint smell of his cologne lingered, disappearing slightly as Felix turned around, looking inside the restaurant. He was worried. Minho had left without saying anything to him; Hyunjin really went too far. He instantly wandered through his clothes, looking for his phone, but squeezed his eyes when he realised. "Fuck," he mumbled, kicking his feet as he reminded himself that Minho couldn't even contact him because his phone was all broken. His concern increasing second-by-second, he turned to go back to Hynjin.

Felix barely had a moment to process what was happening before he found himself pressed against the wall, his breath catching in his throat. The world tilted for a split moment, the unexpected movement throwing him off balance. His eyes were wide open, looking at the figure real close to him while the cold surface was against his back. There was a fire in Jisung's gaze, staring into Felix's soul. There was a mix of frustration and something else Felix couldn't quite name—was it desperation for something?

His chest rose and fell quickly, betraying the gaze he was desperately trying to maintain. His hands hung uselessly at his sides, uncertain whether to push Jisung away or pull him closer. The tension crackling between them made the air heavy, and Felix swallowed hard, his throat dry.

Felix - What?

Felix felt vulnerable—but not in a way that scared him. Instead, it sent a strange thrill rushing through his veins, leaving him unable to look away from Jisung's piercing stare. But all feeling and nervousness vanished away when Jisung freed him as he started speaking slightly. "Where is your phone?" Jisung asked, calmer than before while his desperation had already disappeared.   

But Felix's pupil widened, and his heartbeat increased just in a second before he looked away. "I broke my phone," he said, still looking away. Jisung nodded, but he wasn't so convinced yet. His eyes still locked on Felix, making Felix look back at him too. "Oh, come on, it was an accident." Felix tried to convince, not wanting Jisung to find out about Mirae. "Okay," this was the only word that left Jisung's mouth. 

Felix - Anything else?   

Felix asked, wanting to go back inside, but Jisung again nodded, making Felix sigh. "What?" he asked with disbelief in his voice. "I know if I say, you will walk away," Jisung said, his eyes kinda showing sincerity before he continued. "Still, I wanna say this to you." Jisung again said and this time, Felix opened his mouth. 

Felix - I won't walk away unless one of us sheds tears!! Can you promise that? 

Jisung - No.....

Felix just laughed it off before looking away from Jisung again. "I know I just keep bothering you, but I just wanna say, I am happy that you moved on and are starting your new life with Mr. Park, and you deserve it. You are not a golddigger or anything that I've ever said to you. I am happy that you got a friend like Minho and became friends with Jeongin again. I am happy that you are, even just talking to me. I am happy that you have moved on in your life, and I will try to move on too." Felix just nodded at Jisung's confession. Jisung was right when he said he wasn't sure that no one would shed tears because Felix did, but instantly hid from Jisung.    

Felix - I guess I am happy too.  

Felix said, stepping back while nodding, "Well, if we are being friends for now, can you call Minho or go after him?" Felix asked, as he was concerned for Minho but had Hyunjin waiting for him inside the restaurant.
