"Do you wanna join for lunch?" I ask Changbin absentmindedly.

I note that I've been doing lot of stuff absent mindedly nowadays, which is only disadvantageous because I do shitty stuff like overfry the eggs or slip on the laundry basket, it's like something keeps bothering me in the back of my mind and I know what it is and one part of me says
It's been 7 months! Get over it!
and the other part part refuses to let go of few memories and guess who wins? Yeah the wrong one.

"Felix?" Changbin is standing in front of me now, "huh?" I blink several times.

"I asked, 'is it okay if my friend joins?'"

I remember what I had asked him first and nod, "sure"

---

"Okay, so this is Jisung and Jisung this is Felix" Changbin says nodding at each of us respectively.

"Hello!" Jisung says enthusiastically, and I'm kinda surprised by the amount of enthusiasm he has.

We greet him back and I start my introduction. "Okay, so this is Woojin and Woojin this is Changbin and Jisung as we just came to know and I have another friend, who's gonna be here in sometime."

"Hey y'all!" Chan says slipping into his seat in the table, his hands around Minho's waist.

"Speak of the devil" I say chuckling.

Minho's eyes widened looking at Changbin as the latter mouthed "Dickhead" with an expression which most definitely meant, 'So much for always ditching me'

"Ch-Changbin?" He asks rather confused.

"Uh, Felix?" Changbin says turning to me, "can I get a minute with Minho, I'll be back soon"
He then turns to Jisung and goes, "I'll be back, wait here"

"Yeah, sure" I say cluelessly as Changbin gets up and turns to Chan, "Hey, I know he's your bf and all, but can I get like a minute with him?"

Before Chan could open his mouth to reply, Changbin dragged Minho by his wrist and the last thing I heard before they disappeared into the crowd was Changbin saying, "I hate you, you know?"

"Uh..." Chan says reminding us of his presence, "what was that? isn't that Changbin?"

"Uhm, sorry, that's yeah, that's Changbin, well, I don't know if it's coincidence or something but Minho and Changbin are like best friends and stuff, so yeah, that happened"

They returned a few minutes later, Minho holding onto Changbin's arm, both of them laughing over something Changbin said, I felt a weird urge to laugh with Changbin too for some reason, but I think it's the loneliness getting to me, so I ignore it.

"I'm sorry baby" Minho says as they reach the table and kisses Chan on the cheek, "work" he rolls his eyes and immediately giggles.

"It's okay" Chan says cluelessly, looking between Changbin and Minho.

"What did y'all do?" I whisper to Changbin,
"apologies and wishes" he whispered back, this just confused me more but I decided to question him later.

---

"Where do you wanna have dinner?" Changbin asks as we lay lazily on our respective beds.

"Not same place?"

"I'm bored of that bland thing, and takeaway Japanese from that shop is getting boring too."

"So what do you wanna have? Pizza?"

"Not in a pizza mood"

"Then?" I ask sitting up straight.

"Jisung told me about this Chinese restaurant, apparently it's pretty close from here"

"Oh?"

"Yeah, I heard it's really good, I was wondering why you never told me about it"

"Oh, i-uhm the one next to that café? Well, uh I kinda fell sick once after eating there, so I just never went there again"

Lies, but I can't help it, I can't let him know the real reason I can't go to that restaurant, when will that stage of my life come when I laugh off the past and be able to do stuff all over again like I've never done them before? I can't seem to see it anywhere in the near future.

"Ah damn, let's just go with pizza?"

No no, oh god Felix, look at him, look at him compromising for you, you can't let this happen, just.go.
So I muster up courage and say "it's okay, I'm sure it won't happen again"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive" I say faking a smile.
