The Marriage Pact // Changlix

八

Changbin immediately went to answer his phone when it rang. The caller ID read hyunjin💩 and when he picked up, the first thing he did was yell at his friend through the phone.

"You're a dick, you know that?" Was what Felix heard Changbin scream and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. This led to Hyunjin overhearing and asking Changbin who he was with while Changbin avoided his incessant questioning by swearing at Hyunjin instead.

The entire call was a mess and Changbin eventually hung up the phone in annoyance.

"I think Seungmin and Jisung are back in the hotel room." Changbin spoke up, looking at Felix but also not really. More like he was looking right through him, acting like he wasn't fully there even though he was.

"Yeah, I can't stay anyway..." Felix muttered and he stood up but his legs failed to navigate him properly. He stood rooted to the ground, unwilling to leave. Would this be the last time he was going to see Changbin?

"Wait, when are you leaving Singapore?" Felix asked nonchalantly, pretending as though he was just asking for the sake of it. He truly didn't want to lose Changbin again after fate bringing them together here.

"Uhm in 3 days time," Changbin replied.

Felix didn't know why he bothered asking because he knew Changbin would say no, yet he did anyway. "Do you maybe want to meet up tomorrow? With Jisung hyung, Seungmin and Hyunjin hyung." He quickly added in the three's names in case.

Changbin simply replied with a "Sorry, I can't." and looked away.

Felix hated how Changbin was acting like this. One moment, he thought he was staring to open up, maybe they could begin again. But the next, his cold, dark exterior comes out.

"Fine." Felix guessed that Changbin hadn't changed after all and wanted to slam the door behind him but decided against it as he didn't want to seem bothered by the older.

As he was leaving, he couldn't help but let a few tears fall, not knowing that in the hotel room, Changbin was breaking down too.

When Felix got back to the hotel room only to be greeted by Jisung and Seungmin, nonchalantly chilling on the bed and watching television, he shouted a 'Yah!' and threw the damp umbrella at them.

Seungmin raised his arms up in surrender and Jisung threw the umbrella back at Felix. "Where were you? What took you so long?"

Before Felix could say anything, Seungmin jumped up and touched the hoodie Felix was wearing. "Since when did you change? I don't remember you owning this."

Felix immediately closed his mouth, forgetting what he wanted to shout at his friends for. "Uhm it's uh..."

Jisung smirked, "Changbin's isn't it?"

Felix blushed a deep crimson before realising he was in this state due to the two people in front of him.

"I can't believe you guys would do that! Did you team up with Hyunjin on this? Wow, I am speechless. I hate you guys!" He exclaimed, finally saying what he wanted to say all along.

However, his words had little to no effect on his friends as they started giving each other looks and pestering Felix to tell them what exactly happened.

"You guys are the most annoying people ever." He just muttered, giving up and ignoring their pleas, begging him to give them details.

Felix finally escaped them by locking himself in the bathroom. That's when he realised he left his wet dirty clothes in Changbin's hotel room and he had no idea on how to return him his clothes.

Felix sighed, dropping to the floor and leaning his head against the door. "This trip just keeps getting better and better..."

Jisung: okay i think this was a success, what do we do now?

Hyunjin: i dont think theyve fully opened up to each other yet and theyre not even at that level of aquaintence yet so we'll need more occurances of them interacting

Jisung: you free tomorrow? we could 'accidentally' meet somewhere

Hyunjin: oh shit

Jisung: what? why shit?

Hyunjin: i forgot...

Hyunjin: remember what i told you guys yesterday? why we were here for? well the next few days changbin will be busy and his dad will be upset if we extend the trip for no good reason

Jisung: oh yeah, thAt

Jisung: sigh so we cant meet anymore in singapore? what will happen then when you guys go back to japan and we return to korea then

Hyunjin: dont worry, ill find a way somehow. maybe i can convince changbin's dad to let us fly to korea for a trip and through that, meet you guys! we cant give up on changlix just yet

Hyunjin: when i returned to the hotel room, changbin was so quiet and refused to talk to me. i think its cause of Felix

Jisung: or maybe cause you left him in the rain

Jisung: oh god sorry that was seungmin, he took my phone

Hyunjin: oh crap that could be it too. id better apologise
