[lee_jjikseu] hwanghj has gone live!

Felix picked up his phone after putting his bowl of ramen by the sink to wash later. He wondered why Hyunjin had gone live because he was normally busy dancing and didn't like the attention of fangirls 24/7; especially when he's not at school.

Feeling curious, Felix opened his phone and clicked on Hyunjin's live stream. What he saw on his screen what far from what was expected. He expected Hyunjin, looking damn fine as always, sitting on his couch or in his car. What he got was the cherry-head boy and a girl he recognized from Hyunjin's new friend group, sitting together on the floor of what seemed to be a dance studio.

"Felix! Hi!" Seungmin's voice rang through the phone as he went to type a hi! in the comments box. At least someone noticed his entrance; Most of the comments were Hyunjin's fangirls asking for him and why he wasn't there.

"Girls don't worry! He's right there." Seungmin replied to a girl's comments by flipping the camera of the phone, showing Hyunjin and Yeji reviewing the moves of the dance they'd been working on.

"Jinnie! They think you look really hot today!" Seungmin yelled to Hyunjin as the two were taking a break.

"Thanks?" Hyunjin replied in a questioning tone which caused the three other present to laugh, Felix joining their laugh from behind the screen.

The comments started to blow up with girls praising Hyunjin and others recognizing Yeji as one of the popular dance girls from around the school. People started asking comments like if they were dating or if something was going on, in which Seungmin and the other girl denied swiftly.

Felix found watching this live stream funny. After a few minutes, Seungmin had introduced himself and Lia, the girl that was sitting there—whom Felix remembered was Yeji's girlfriend. The two were talking to a bunch of the viewers about a variety of things but mostly about Hyunjin's stunning visual and the pair's dance skills being showcased.

Soon enough, Felix got tired of watching this live stream and decided to turn off his phone. He didn't realise but a bunch of emotions came sweeping in at once, making Felix think to himself. Why didn't they invite him? Was this something secret? Seungmin could've at least said something? But no. They were there and he wasn't.

He looked at the time on his phone. 8:14 P.M. Yeah, he had time. He could watch another episode of this drama. And so that's what he did, as he grabbed a bag of chips from the kitchen and headed back upstairs to finish watching.

Finishing the episode, Felix turned off his laptop and looked back at his phone. 9:06 P.M. it read, hopefully Jisung would call soon.

Not that long after, the phone's blaring ringtone was being played and Felix quickly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lix! How's everything been?"

Felix hesitated for a moment. He was still really sad about Hyunjin and Seungmin being distant towards him, but he didn't want to ruin his friend's mood.

"I'm feeling okay. Things have been going on and stuff. Tea.

"Ooh... so what's happening? Spill all your tea because your squirrel twin is trapped in an entertainment company building."

"You remember the showcase?"

"How could I forget? I was that bomb freshman squirrel rapper!"

"And you went viral and got noticed by JYP. Yeah, yeah, that."

"Okay... so, what's going on with that?"
