Who cares about Romance anyway?! [ChangLix] (Shortfic/completed)

Short Love letter

One month before, on February 14th, Felix received his very first secret letter. 

It was Valentine day and all day long, he hoped he would receive something. He wondered if maybe some pretty girl would fight her timidity to show him her affection; If his tiny-little boy crush would acknowledge him; If maybe, this day could be the start of something for him.

It wasn't the first time such thought ran through his mind and he didn't care much more about Valentine's day than any other, yet he still had hopes.

By the end of the day, on his table, a little card with chocolates was waiting for him. Felix had been shocked but very happy. Maybe there was still someone who could understand him, he thought in awe.

When he stepped down from his little cloud, he took a better look at the pinkish card and frowned at how familiar it was. It didn't take him long to recognize one of his friend's writing – he copied his notes often enough to notice that.

For a moment he tried to understand why would one of his friend write him a letter for Valentine Day. He opened the envelope and found a simple note in it.

"Sorry we are no admirer and this is not a love letter, but we thought you would die on us without one today"

He heard some chuckles at the door and it took him only a glance to see his few of his friends walking toward him, laughing. Jisung came to pat his shoulder and hugged him, but Felix felt numb.

It was a prank, wasn't it? A prank without evil intention, but one he couldn't appreciate. Unable to bear the sudden deception, Felix shrugged and dropped the box and the card on the table. He heard his friends say something he didn't understand and didn't move. He didn't give any attention to them and just left.

It was stupid. It wasn't the first time someone was laughing and making fun of his romanticism, but he couldn't bear the deception. Of course, his friends probably thought it was harmless, but for him, it was painful.

It was more than a simple prank. It was a slap right in the face as if the world was showing him right in his face that his belief was outdated, impossible. He didn't want to face them, so he went to see Chan. The next day, he acted as if nothing happened and nobody brought the subject.
