29 | Forever Winter If You Go

✼••┈┈┈┈••✼♡✼••┈┈┈┈••✼

I'd fall to pieces on the floor
If you weren't around
Too young to know it gets better
I'll be summer sun for you forever
Forever winter if you go

During class, Jisung stole a glance at Hyunjin and Felix, watching as they clung to each other like nothing had ever gone wrong between them. Hyunjin rested his head against Felix's shoulder, and Felix absentmindedly played with Hyunjin's hair, his fingers threading through the strands with an ease that told Jisung this wasn't the first time.

Jisung let out a small sigh, shaking his head. "Why was I even worried about you guys? It's like nothing ever happened."

Felix grinned, turning to Hyunjin and pinching both of his cheeks. "I can never stay angry at him for too long," he said, his voice playful but laced with fondness.

Hyunjin pouted dramatically at the sudden attack on his face, swatting Felix's hand away before leaning into him even more.

Felix chuckled before adding, "And maybe Hyunjin was right for worrying so much. Some brats just never learn."

Jisung tilted his head slightly, picking up on the way Felix's voice dipped into something sharper, something pointed, but he didn't question it.

Instead, he smiled, relieved that whatever had happened between them was in the past. "Well, as long as you guys are good now, that's all that matters."

Lunch break had barely started when Jeongin rushed over to Hyunjin, his face twisted with worry. "Hyung, where's Seungmin? Why isn't he here?" he demanded, not even bothering with a greeting. "I've sent him, like, a thousand messages since yesterday, and he hasn't replied to a single one!"

Hyunjin sighed, running a hand through his hair. "He got sick again," he said. "It's as bad as last time. Maybe worse."

Jeongin's frown deepened. "What? But he was fine yesterday! No, better than fine-he was practically glowing! I don't get it-how did this happen overnight?"

Felix, who had been silent up until now, felt his stomach twist. If Seungmin had actually been that happy, which Felix hadn't really seen ever since he had met Seungmin... Just how pathetic could Minho be that he ruined it.

Out of worry, Felix turned to Hyunjin. "What if he troubles Seungmin again?"

Hyunjin's expression hardened. "Don't worry," he said firmly. "I've made sure he never even hovers around Seungmin again."

Felix nodded, but something still nagged at him. "But did you see his face today? He looked like he actually cared." He scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Can never tell what dirty trick he's up to now."

Jeongin had been listening quietly and he was 90% sure who they were talking about. He couldn't hold back anymore, so he just decided to confirm his suspicion. "...Who are you talking about?" His voice came out hesitant as he interrupted the serious conversation.

Felix scoffed. "Who else? Our dear, saintly Minho."

Jeongin felt his stomach drop. His face paled. "Did... did something happen?"

Hyunjin let out a humorless laugh. "Just ask what didn't happen," he said bitterly. "In short? He hurt Seungmin again. And this time, it was bad."

"No, hyung," Jeongin interrupted immediately. His voice was firm, but his heart was racing. "Minho hyung would never do something like that!"

That made Hyunjin, Felix, and Jisung all turn to him with matching looks of disbelief.
