"I don't see how anyone can do that to another human being," Chan stated.

"It's just so..."

He paused, searching for the right word. He flirted with the idea of calling it disgusting, or unnecessary, or maybe even sickening. But, none of those seemed to hold enough impact to describe just how wrong that the act in itself truly was.

"Heartless," Jeongin finished the Australian's sentence for him, a bitter tone lacing his voice.

"It's heartless, and inhuman, and it's just so insensitive."

"That's exactly what it is," Hyunjin nodded in agreement.

"It blows my mind that people can just post something like that and not think about what the consequences will be for Felix. It's like shooting someone between the eyes and not thinking about the fact that it will kill them," Seungmin sighed.

"It not right. It pisses me off so badly that someone just decided to change his life around, and with one little post, he might be a completely different person. You never know how something like this will impact someone," Jeongin vented.

"You hit the nail on the head with that one. I just hope that Felix and Changbin can talk things out. I mean, I'm sure they did, or will at least, but it's still scary to think about how someone's ignorance could be the reason that Felix pushes him away again," Hyunjin replied.

"I'm sure that-"

Seungmin's sentence was cut off by the blonde's ring tone. It was a massive relief, because the Australian hadn't come back to school at all that day. He also hadn't texted or called anyone up until that point, so none of them knew how he was doing or how he was coping with everything. All they knew was that he was most likely with Changbin, because Chan had told the three of them that the raven haired boy had left right after getting Felix's call, and he didn't return for any of his lectures as far as he knew.

"Is it Felix?" Jeongin asked quickly, leaning his body forward in the restaurant chair.

"Yeah, it's Lix," the redhead confirmed.

"I'm gonna take this outside."

"I'm coming too," the younger boy stated, immediately standing up from his seat at the table in order to follow the older boy out.

But, before doing so, he turned to look at Chan, and he assured him that he'd be back in a few minutes.

"Okay," the Australian smiled gently, and with that said, Jeongin hurried along in order to catch up with Seungmin; who was already half way to the door with his phone pressed against his ear.

With the two of them gone for the time being, Hyunjin and Chan were left alone at the table. The older of the two glanced up from his sushi and met the younger boy's eyes.

"You're not going with those two?" The Australian raised an eyebrow.

"No," the taller boy shook his head, "I don't wanna overwhelm Felix or anything."

Chan nodded in understanding as he took a sip of his lemonade.

"Plus, there's something that I want to talk to you about."
