School Hunk || Felix Lee

XXXV

For the past week, I've been learning the Korean alphabet and simple phrases like 'sorry', 'hello' and 'how are you?', all the simple things to start with.

Now that I know the alphabet and their pronunciations and learnt that the person that speaks English is called Seungmin, even though you can hear his strong Korean accent when he speaks English, I'm not complaining. The others can't speak English whatsoever. But, then again, I can't speak Korean.

The oldest is Woojin. He's a really nice guy. But honestly, how much chicken does he have a day?

That really good dancer was called Minho or something? I don't know.

Then, that really short guy was called Changbin, I think? He can rap, okay? He just spits fire as soon as he opens his mouth. Gives me the chills.

The tallest guy that's always with Minho is called Hyun-jean? Or is it Hyun-chin? Hyun-tin? Hyun-bean? Whatever his name is, he's pretty cool, a pretty chilled guy overall.

That guy that has somewhat hamster or squirrel like features, I believe his name is Jisung? I think he just looks like a squirrel because of his cheeks. It's actually kind of cute.

Then, the youngest, which I learnt in Korean is 'maknae' is Jeongin. Who could possibly not love him? He's adorable. He's always pampered with love by the others and I always heard him call the others 'hyung'. 

I asked Seungmin what 'hyung' meant. Apparently, it means 'older brother', it's a formal way for males to call other males that are older than themselves. He also said that the person that's older can't be too old. 

So the lesson here is: don't call a random old man on the side of the footpath 'hyung'.

Lesson learnt.

Lord, being a trainee is tiring. You wake up early and go to bed late. Chris and I still have to try and find time to learn Korean. But then again Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin and Hyun-fin still have to go to school.

This morning I woke up earlier to continue unpacking the stuff that's still in my suitcase. Other than clothes, there was a lot of other random stuff. I packed a Ryan plushie. Nevermind, I forgot about the other ones, there are like five other Ryan plushies.

I put them all on my bed and put one of them on my bedside table next to the alarm clock that I just bought.

I continue to stuff all my clothes in the closet.

I've almost reached the bottom of my suitcase and I saw a picture frame that was flipped over at the bottom. Just looking at it brought a small tear to my eye.

I took the picture frame and also put it on my bedside table, next to the Ryan plushie.

It was a picture that was taken in 2005 when I was still a toddler. Mum was holding me in her arms and dad was playing around with me. The photo was taken at the park.

"Felix, are you crying?" Chris asked sleepily but with a hint of concern in his voice. His eyes were still closed but it was quite obvious that he's awake.

I wipe away my tear with my sleeve and went back to my suitcase taking more coats and jumpers out of it. "No, I'm not," I said but my voice cracked.

"Y'know Felix, it's okay to cry. I'm just a little worried," he said and turned to face the wall.

I'm in the dance studio taking dance lessons from some tutors. But, personally, I think I'm really good at dancing, definitely when compared to Chris. 

He's stumbled quite a bit.

But, when it comes to rapping, I admit, Chris is better, in both Korean and English. Chris learns languages really fast, it won't be long until he masters the Korean language, just give him a couple months.

The company gave us trainees that came from abroad, each a textbook of Korean literature. The point of this textbook was for us trainees to learn Korean faster. 

So far, I'm not doing very well.

I highlighted almost every word on each page and I can take up to thirty pages of notes on one chapter.

And then there's Chris who is whizzing through the thick textbook. There are fifty chapters and he's already on chapter eight in the span of one week. Poor me, I'm still on chapter three.

At the moment, I'm taking notes from the textbook and I'm repeating these new words that I learnt quietly to myself.

I've been at the library for three hours going through that textbook and it was almost ten o'clock.

I packed my things and was about to leave for the dorms when I felt a buzz from my pocket. I took my phone out to check for messages. 

There were a couple of texts and they were all from the same person.

They were from Lilliana.

Lilli💕: Felix

Lilli💕: Where've you been?

Lilli💕: It's been a week and a half and I haven't seen you at all.

Lilli💕: I'm not concerned or anything, but please tell me.

It hurt to even see her texts. It makes my heart ache. Imagine seeing her in person, it would hurt so much. The moment I saw those texts, it reminded me of the last time we saw each other. At school, in the year 8 locker area. Memories I want to forget.

Just ask Kerby :Me

I quickly replied and blocked her phone number before deleting her from my contacts. I don't want to see her again.

I won't be seeing her again, there was no point to this. There was no point to this from the very beginning.

I swung my bag over my shoulder and left for the exit of the library. I just want to go back to my bed in the dorms and cry my eyes out again.

I practically ran back to the dorms, I don't want any strangers to see me balling my eyes out. Though, a couple people looked my way when I ran, probably my red eyes and the tears that are pooling in my eyes.

I can't control myself.

I want to forget her.

She was just an obstacle in my life.

A/N

Please don't hate me for what I'm making Felix do. Give him a break, he just lost his mum, broke up with Lilliana and had to leave his dad for Korea, not to mention all his other friends.

And yes I know Chan has been in Korea since he was like 14 years old or something and everything is messed up in this book. But, it's an AU fic, besides when I started this book I was still new to stray kids. Now that I look back at it, I was really stupid.

Sorry it's been more than a week since I've updated. But, I still have other books that need to be updated. For example, 'Tutor' has an update that is long overdue, and so does 'The Academy of Weird Arts' and 'Prank'.

Btw go check out 'The Academy of Weird Arts' on zari_and_lottie it's a collab with MissMisoZari it's not a fanfic but go have a look anyway.

Two days left till your author-nim is free from school. Which means I have 6 whole weeks to be trash. I'll be able to update my books and watch more stray kids (◕‿◕✿)

Have a great day y'all.
