Mistake [Changlix]

Eight

Out of all the boys, the only one that actually lived in a house in Seoul was Seungmin. Since his parents lived there and the house was spacious, he really didn't rush on going out of the house just because he was attending university. And also, the house was pretty close to K-arts, so it seemed like the best option for him and his parents.

That weekend they weren't in the city since they had to take care of one of the offshoots of their clinic. And Seungmin didn't hesitate to invite them to come over. Certainly, Changbin was invited too. He'd been friends with them for almost three months now, he could certainly call them his friends and he was glad about it.

"I knew your house would be big, but I wasn't expecting it to be this big," Woojin commented once they were sitting on the kitchen's island, casually eating ice cream.

"My parents are quite famous plastic surgeons, so..." Seungmin said, moving through the kitchen wanting to get a spoon.

"The silver spoons might be on the left drawer next to the stove," Jeongin muttered, making emphasis on the silver spoon part and making everybody laugh.

Seungmin turned around and stuck out his tongue towards Jeongin, who did the same in response. Changbin was trying not to laugh too much as Felix was trying to tickle his feet using his toes.

"It feels odd not to have Jisung and Minho around here," Hyunjin said when the laughter had calmed down and everybody suddenly went silent.

Minho and Jisung weren't there because Minho's grandmother was sick. But not simply sick, she only had a few days of life left, as said by the doctors. And being the weekends Minho's only free time, they decided to be with her as much as they could. And Jisung definitely would not leave his boyfriend alone in such hard times, so he went with him. Changbin admired Jisung by being so brave because even when Minho's family never fully accepted the fact that he was gay, Jisung didn't hesitate on going straight into the eye of the hurricane if it was for him.

"I hope his grandma recovers," Chan mentioned, "She was the only one that didn't leave Minho's side when he came out," he sighed.

Changbin wanted that too and he really wanted to believe that Minho's grandma could recover. But he knew that wouldn't happen. And for the first time ever, the loss of somebody was starting to affect him. Because he appreciated Minho and didn't want him to be sad, but there was nothing Changbin could do. He could see the future, not cure people.

Even when Changbin's parents died, he didn't really suffer much from it. He'd known they would die since he could remember and they raised him to not be attached to people, especially them. Up until now, no deaths had really concerned him, not until he met Felix and his life gave a 180. Now he just felt bad about it.

After fooling around for a while, they were all just thrown onto the couch in a weird mess of legs and torsos. Luckily for them, the couch was big, and they fitted on... somehow.

Chan and Woojin where at the left end. Woojin's back was leaned against the armrest and legs hunched over the couch. Chan was using Woojin's legs as a backrest, while the older one played with his hair. Felix's legs were intertwined with Chan's, but his head was resting on Changbin's lap. Jeongin was laying upside down, legs thrown over the backrest and the upper half of his body on the cushions. While Seungmin was sitting like Woojin, but his legs were around Hyunjin, who was sitting in between his legs.

When Changbin looked at Hyunjin, he felt bad for him. It had been almost a month since Hyunjin officially told him about his love problems with Jeongin and Seungmin. Hyunjin didn't want to ruin their relationship for being in love with one of them, and another problem was that he liked both of them, not only one. He'd made up his mind at this point because he wouldn't date one or the other, he wanted both of them. But he was also aware that this was nearly impossible and Jeongin and Seungmin were already in a relationship without him in the middle.

And although Hyunjin didn't seem to notice, Changbin did notice how Seungmin and Jeongin treated the other one. Because it wasn't like he was just a friend, to be honest. If somebody that didn't know the two younger ones were in a relationship, saw any of them hanging out with Hyunjin, that person would think they were dating. But, regardless, Jeongin and Seungmin's relationship was unblemished. Since just by looking at them, you would notice the love between the two.

This was a confusing situation even for Changbin, who knew what it would end with. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in Hyunjin's boots. He was glad that he had Felix and Felix had him, because he knew he wasn't made for that kind of affairs.

Felix yawned and that caught Changbin's attention.

"Are you sleepy?" He asked, brushing Felix's hair, he nodded.

"Can we go to sleep? Tomorrow's Sunday and we can wake up late," the aforementioned said, burying his face into Changbin' stomach and hugging him.

"Look at them being all cute!" Chan screeched, making Changbin blush.

"Shut up, Chris," Felix answered, his face still in Changbin's belly. "Just look at yourself and Woojin hyung, you two look like huggy bears or something."

"Well, Woojin is my teddy bear. You're not wrong," and they laughed.

As every couple was supposed to sleep together, it was funny to see how Hyunjin pouted as he realized he was gonna sleep alone. And it was even funnier to see Seungmin and Jeongin drag him to the owner of the house's room. Of course, right before everybody got to enter the rooms they were going to sleep into, Chan yelled:

"Don't be too loud!" And then ran inside the room that was in front of him.

Everybody started to laugh, except for Hyunjin, who got really blushed. Changbin preferred not to think what might have gone through the tallest one's mind with Chan's comment and entered the room with Felix.

Pajamas on and both of them were in the bed. Talking about future plans and places to visit. About family and even about each other's hair. And finally, they fell asleep, Felix's arms around Changbin, holding him close through the entire night. And Changbin slept in peace, not dreaming about anything special, with the beat of Felix's heart against his back, lullabying him to sleep.

And perhaps, Changbin forgot that his days of luck weren't going to last forever.
