"Two people per seat!" The bus driver shouted, so that everyone could hear.
"Uh oh." Sohye said.
"You guys can sit together. I'll sit on the seat next to your's." Hyejin told them.
"Are you sure?" Sohye asked. Hyejin nodded.
"I'm gonna be with Sohye eonnie the whole day! Yay!" Ara joked. Sohye pretended to vomit. As the seniors entered the bus, Hyejin saw Felix, Hyunjin, and Seungmin enter the bus. Now that I think of it, I haven't talked to Felix in a while. Hyejin saw Felix glance at her and she looked somewhere else. "Hyejin! Whatcha doing? Let's go!!" Ara called.
Hyejin was the last one to get on the bus. She muttered a curse because she couldn't find an available seat near Sohye and Ara. She was forced to sit in one of the seats in the back. The bus then suddenly started moving and Hyejin fell onto the seat she was standing next to. "Felix?" The boy turned to look at her. He had orange hair and freckles. Yup. It was him. Hyejin sat there quietly for a moment. "I'll find another seat sorry-"
Hyejin tried to get up but Felix grabbed her wrist before she could. "It's fine. Just sit." He said in his deep, soothing voice. Hyejin sat awkwardly and took out her phone and listened to music from her earphones.

"Um, Felix?.."
"Hm?" Hyejin almost jumped when she heard his deep voice. His voice is powerful. Really.
"How long is our ride there?"
"Five hours."
Hyejin gasped. "I.. I get carsick."
Felix faced her with a worried and shocked expression. "What?"
* * *
Felix looked at her. Hyejin had her eyes shut but her face showed that she did not feel well. Felix pulled out a bottle of water from his bag, opened it, and nudged Hyejin. Hyejin slowly opened her eyes and smiled. She reached for the bottle and took a few gulps. "I feel so dizzy..."
"Did you take pills?" Felix asked.
Hyejin nodded. "I want fresh air. I feel so suffocated."
Hyunjin was on his way to one of his friends when he saw Hyejin sweating a lot. "Hyejin-ah! Are you okay?" Hyunjin bent down. Hyejin shook her head. "Do you want to sit next to me? There's an opened window." Hyejin looked at Felix. "Come on, let's go." Hyunjin reached out for her hand.
"No. She's fine here." Felix said.
"She doesn't look fine."
"Well she is."
"Ooh? Could this be a love triangle?" A weird girl said and a bunch of other kids oohed.
"Hyunjin, let's go." Seungmin said. "Before everyone notices." Hyunjin hesitated before following Seungmin.
After Seungmin and Hyunjin left, everyone became more quiet and settled. An hour later, most of the people were sleeping. "Felix, I..." Felix pulled out a bag and handed it to her. "No, I'm gonna-" Felix tilted his head. Hyejin sneezed. On his face. "Sorry. I was about to tell you that I was gonna sneeze."
