Felix is a... Genius?

Worth the Risk? Changbin's Perspective

Changbin really needs this tutoring session today. Not only did he transfer into school a week late, but he just found out that there's a unit test this coming Friday that he had no clue about until recently! Luckily this online tutoring service that his new friend Chan suggested to him seemed to be legitimate and the tutor that he hired was highly reviewed. Changbin thought that the guy he contacted seemed pretty professional too by asking to meet at a public place instead of a strange house that he's never been to. However...maybe that's speaking too soon since Changbin has never even heard of this "Milky Way Cafe" place. What if the real name is "Milky Way Torture Chamber" and Changbin is walking straight into a trap led by a ring of online predators that target gay, rich college students? Changbin is suspicious of meeting people from online in real life, but once he realized how far his train of thought had derailed, he chuckles a bit to himself at his apparent paranoia and continues to look for the cafe.

Since the Cafe was on the second story of the building, it took Changbin a little longer than he's willing to admit to find, but once he enters the restaurant, he wishes that he had known about it earlier. When the door swings open, a cute chiming greets him and welcomes him into the cafe as well as the hostess. He likes the colour of the walls and the abundance of windows looking over the street below, he really appreciates the star theme as well. Changbin scans the restaurant looking for potential candidates that could be his tutor, maybe a sixty-year-old retired professor looking type?  The cafe looks pretty empty though and there are only a couple of tables that are filled and none of them host the type of person he's looking for. Seated at most of the tables are groups or pairs of people that don't look like they're expecting another person. Finally, after what seems like forever, but was actually less than a minute he spots a sketchy looking teenager that's looking in his direction. This is the exact opposite of the tutor that Changbin had envisioned. Sitting by the window is a fidgety possible punk that looks like he's Changbin's age or younger, could somebody that young even be eligible to tutor college students?

Could that kid really be my tutor? Maybe he's catfishing on the tutoring sight to lure in sorry saps like me that can give him a quick buck... Or maybe he's actually thirty and can't catch a break because people always mistake him for a child?

Although he's suspicious, Changbin figures that it won't hurt to go up and ask the kid who he is before deciding to leave and do his best to study by himself.

Changbin walks up to the possible tutor cautiously just in case the kid is waiting for someone else and pops the question once he gets to the table.

"Are you Lee Felix? My tutor?" he asks not quite ready to sit down quite yet. 

The kid nods slowly at him and Changbin resists the urge to roll his eyes and pat the kid on the head before walking away, however, he convinces himself to stay, but he should probably still ask one more question or say something to confirm that this Felix kid is really a fake. Changbin is still desperate for a tutor after all. 

He sits and tries to find the right words.

"I wasn't expecting somebody quite so..."

"Quite so?" the possibly fake tutor asks in a surprisingly deep voice. Now that Changbin has gotten a closer look, he realizes that the kid has a black eye underneath the black facemask and glasses that he's wearing. Maybe this guy got in a fight somehow?

"Young," finishes Changbin while the guy in front of him almost falls off his chair in a strange comedic manor. Based on the reaction, Changbin is sure that this has to be some rough highschooler instead of a thirty-year-old trapped in a teenager's body. Time to turn on some brutal honesty. 

"You just sounded really mature in our emails so I was expecting someone much older. Are you actually a tutor like the reviews say? Or are you just cat-fishing me for the money? To be honest you look kind of like a delinquent."
