"Crikey" | Chanlix

Chapter 5 - operation 'annoy the annoying'

It had been a few weeks since Felix moved to Korea. Having now fully settled in - at home, and in school - he was more than simply well-acquainted with his new group of friends; Jisung, now evidently his best friend. Of course he was still very close to the others, though. Particularly Chan.

It was 6:23pm, and Felix was sat on his bed with sheets and sheets of homework sprawled out on his bed; barely leaving room for himself. He let out a noise of exasperation as he ran his small hands through his fluffy hair. God, teachers in Korea certainly don't go easy on homework. Soon enough, Felix had an idea. He snapped his fingers, enjoying the slightly peculiar moment before reaching for his phone.

Grabbing it from where it was placed on the side table, he proceeded to FaceTime Chan; who answered in no less than 10 seconds. "Hey, Lix," he said, voice slightly raspy. The younger could tell from Chan's state that he, too, was also doing homework. He reciprocated the greeting before lazily pushing sheets out of the way so he could lay down comfortably on his stomach; his oversized lilac hoodie riding up a bit.

"Hyuuuuuung~," he said, dragging out the word with an added tone of sweetness. "I'm so bored!," he announced, a pout finding its way on his lips - noticed by the elder, who thought it was rather cute.

"Me, too, Lix," said Chan as he placed his phone against a pile of books; sat at his desk. "Is that why you called me, huh? You only want to talk to me when you're bored!" he cried, almost as dramatic as Felix.

This caused the younger to burst out into a fit of laughter; clutching his stomach as the older boy watched him, grinning in knowing he had successfully recovered the young blond out of his boredom. After a moment, Felix had regained himself. Sitting up, he took one last breath before grinning. "Yeah, yeah," he said, calmly. "There's so much homework to do we've all barely had time to go out lately! The arcades here are so much fun."

The older boy nodded in agreement, releasing a 'hum' as he listened to the younger. "I agree, they are. But we've got plenty of time to go when we're off from school, yeah?," he proposed, the younger boy thinking momentarily before nodding.

"I suppose so," he answered. "But especially this past week, I've felt like all I've done is homework! Have I even breathed? Have you?" exaggerated the younger; causing Chan to roll his eyes in a playful manner.

"Now, we could take a break from studying," suggested Felix, a slight tinge of hope at the end of his sentence; of course of which the older boy caught on to.

"I mean, I'm pretty sure our break started when you called me, but sure," he said, chuckling after. The younger boy rolled his eyes rather dramatically before readjusting his seating position once again.

"I'll just hang up then," said Felix, yet both boys knew he wouldn't. There was a comforting moment of silence before Felix spoke in a murmur, clear enough for Chan to pick up, though. "Hyung... let's do something," he said as he rested back on his headboard, eyes glazed over.

"Sure, Lix, but what?" asked Chan as he grinned lazily at the younger.

"Anything," responded Felix, in the same low tone.

The older boy thought for a moment; his lips pursed before he spoke again. "Something that'll wake us up, huh?" he asked.

There was a moment - whether it was tense or calm, Chan could not guess. This was until the younger boy's eyes widened, and a bright smile appeared on his face. Before Chan could ask, Felix snapped his fingers. "Hyung! I know what we can do!" he said; excited to say the least. The older boy nodded slowly, his eyebrows furrowed as he waited for the younger to proceed. "We can create our plan for getting back at Minho!"
