School Hunk || Felix Lee

XXXIX

We don't have much on today, so I decided to go to our agency to check on Chris, Changbin hyung and Jisung in their studio. They're probably working their ass off.

Just as I got to the entrance of our agency, I saw her again, through the window. I saw Lilliana through the window.

It's not too late now.

I wanted to tell her I was sorry, I wanted to tell her everything. But, I don't have the courage to. Two years ago I messed up, I can't afford to screw up again, especially not after what happened last time we saw each other.

She was just sitting there on the sofas that were in the corner of the lobby.

I still need to go see the others in their studio.

So I walked towards the automated sliding door of the building, hoping that she won't...see me?

A part of me wants her to know I'm here, want her to feel my presence. But another part of me wants to avoid her, have nothing to do with anymore.

"Felix??"

Her eyes now on me instead of the phone on her hands.

I froze, not knowing what to do or what to say.

"Can we talk?" She muttered in hope that no one nearby had heard.

I contemplated for a bit, whether or not this is safe, whether or not anyone's watching. After all, we have a dating ban.

"Follow me from afar," I told her and swiftly walked out the door. I hope she's following me.

I led her into an alleyway nearby, part of a shortcut I sometimes take when I'm walking back to the dorms.

I pulled my mouth mask down so I can speak comfortably.

"Look-"
"Hey-"
We said at the same time.

"You go first," I said looking down, kicking the small stones around. 

"Hey, I'm sure you didn't want to see me but I heard about your group's debut and I first want to say congratulations. Second thing, you should've told me you were going to be training, we could've gone through this together. I told you that, remember?"

What she said made me feel guilty. "I do want to see you-"
"No you don't, stop lying."
"I do!" I said, slightly raising my voice.

"I bet you've never even missed me like I did," she said, brows furrowed with a hint of sadness and embarrassment. 

"I missed you every day, you have no goddamn idea! You're so ignorant!" I shouted at her unintentionally. Her jaw dropped slightly, due to the shock, but she quickly collected herself again.

There was a moment of silence before she spoke again.

"Do you remember the piano lessons I gave you?"
"Of course!"
"Do you remember you said, as payment you could grant me one wish as long as it was within reason?"
"Yes."

She hesitated for a moment before she spoke again, "I wish that we could stay together forever, we will not leave each other for stupid reasons again," she said looking at me dead in the eyes, "is that within reason?"

Is it?

"Yes."
