Seungmin turned on his bed, peeking an eye open to see who just came into the room. Felix smiled at the boy and all he got in return was the younger boy going back to sleep.

"That's a progress", Jisung smiled at Felix like he was offering comfort.

Felix flexed his fingers. Progress?. He looked around the room. He used to be a frequent visitor here. Most of his times was spent in this room with these boys who has roomed here since their second year. Han Jisung, Kim Seungmin and Yang Jeongin. However, since the argument between them on Monday, the boy, his brother nor Changbin, have come here. It was a Friday night and staying away from this place for four days was kinda hard. Really hard. Minho and Changbin were claiming to be some hard nuts but Felix wasn't. Room 506 is just like every other room in the dorms but this particular room has all three occupants to be their friends. The other guys had other friends as their roommates but this room, houses three of their closer friends. It was like a safe abode for them even when Chan was still in school. So he missed it. Stealing their yoghurts, trying to get past their doors whenever they were sick of him and had the code changed and just being in here. Lee Felix, the total softie, came to make peace but the dark guy, sleeping so deeply without a care wasn't interested.

Felix turned to Jeongin, puffing his cheeks out. The maknae shook his head. He doesn't know what to do or how to help either. He relaxed his back against the wall, his legs crossed underneath him while he stayed sat on the bed, trying to keep himself warm with all the blankets he owns.

Jisung, the eldest in the room could help but he really didn't want to. He had pencils behind his ears with his reading chair turned to the beds. He stared at Felix's helpless form without helping. He is just that way. When Felix turned to him, he is very quick to shake his head with a shrug of his own shoulders.

Felix breathed out softly. Right. He created the mess. He should clear it too. He took his first step of implementing his actions, going to Seungmin's bed. He knelt beside it and pressed his hands down on the boy's torso, hard. Seungmin coughed painfully curling up. "W-what the fuck", he cursed.

Felix smiled cutely. "I had to wake you up", his perfect set of teeth was pissing the boy off. "Hey. I'm not here to... make things worse, you know. I just came to apologise"

"For what?", Seungmin slapped his duvets away, sitting up. "What are you apologising for?"

"I am a big brother, Seungmin, so it's not abnormal that I supported my sister, okay?"

"Okay", Seungmin simply said.

"Right", Felix's little fingers snapped together. "It was instinctive and I know I was wrong. We all were. I don't know what you and Ari have against each other but you do know she is my sister, right?. My sister, Seungmin"

Seungmin brushed his bangs away from his face. He stared at the boy with his still drowsy eyes. "I know that, man. Why do you think I'm going easy on her?. I don't do that. I have been letting her get away with everything because in the end she is Minho hyung's sister. She is Felix's sister. I can say same for Chaeryeong. She is Changbin hyung's sister. I know all that"

"I'm glad you still acknowledge that", Felix quietly said. "Do not hurt any of them. I am on my knees on their behalf", he tapped his knees. "Daya is their friend. I am not sure they will... make a big deal out of it if they find out"

"You think?", Seungmin asked with a small chuckle. "Why do they want to find out anyway?. Daya and I totally like the way things are. In the dark. Those girls want everything out in the open. If it happens, I won't be the only one getting hurt"

"Um.. you are the only one in that kind of situation", Felix had to say.

"You fuck around too. Minho huung, do your parents even know?. About his situation with Nayeon noona?", Seungmin asked.
