"I know, I know. I'm just worried," Felix stresses.

"As I've already said, just because he wants to cling to you and possibly had a fever, doesn't mean you should be worried about him," Hyunjin responds, grunting. "He's a big boy now, he can take care of himself."

"And as I've already said, I'm worried. Is that so wrong? I mean, he was really hot."

"Ugh! Stop hitting on your boyfriend!"

"I'm not," Felix denied, his cheeks aflame.

"Of course you're not," Hyunjin dismisses him with a wave. "But, in case you haven't noticed, we still have a class to teach," he gestures at all the kids stretching during the water break, "so, can this wait for after class? Please?"

"Fine, I'll just run home if I have to," Felix sighs, giving in.

"Thank you." Hyunjin breathes out.

(Time skip brought to you by me not knowing how to dance 💃🏻)

Banging the door open, Felix rushes in calling for Changbin. When he doesn't answer, Felix assumes the worst. He rushes to the bedroom and pounds on the door, hoping to find him there.

"Changbin, if you don't respond right now I'm busting the door down," Felix desperately calls, panicking slightly. "Come on, Changbin, I'm really worried."

The door creaks open slightly, and Felix sighs. Then he looks and notices, "Chan?"

"Felix! Um didn't know you were home," Chan laughs nervously, scratching the base of his neck.

"Chan? Why are you here?" Felix sniffles, wiping his eyes.

"Now, don't freak out, but Changbin was a little sick," Chan explains in a calming tone. (The return of protective mode.)

"I knew it! I should've stayed home!" Felix wails.

"No! It was nothing. Changbin didn't want you to worry about him," Chan tries to soothe, not having the energy to deal with two anxiety attacks in one day.

"Well, he did a great job at that," Felix snarks, trying to push past Chan.

"Don't go in there!"

"Ugh! Let me in! Unless," Felix's voice cracks and he coughs, looking at Chan with soft eyes, "Does he not want me to come in? Did I lose his trust? I've been worried about him all day, I shouldn't have listened to Hyunjin! I should've come home, I shouldn't have even left. What was I thinking?"

"He's fine!" Chan immediately denied. "Don't worry about the should'ves. He doesn't mistrust you."

"Then, why can't I go in?"

"It's, uhm, complicated?" Chan squeaks out.

"Complicated my butt! My boyfriend is sick or possibly dying in there! Schrodinger's Cat, dead until seen not!" Felix just scoffs, wipes his tears, and finally pushes past Chan, forcing his way through the door.

Chan growls slightly but allows Felix to pass him. Hovering over him to make sure Changbin is okay and won't do anything stupid while on his heat.

"Changbin!"

"Hm?" A sleepy voice drawls from somewhere under the blanket mountain on top of a bed.
