Changbin sat back on the couch right next to Minho who refused to introduce himself to the foreigner. "Have you ever tried, I don't know, a nice approach next time?" Minho suggested. Hyunjin whipped his head around and stopped pacing back and forth. "Do I look like a nice person to you?" Han chuckled at Hyunjin's remark. "Now I understand why people think he's the demon."

Minho rolled his eyes. "You could at least try not being a douchebag sometimes," He started, "Social relationships make you seem more normal. You only hang around us anyway." The room fell silent. Nobody in that friend group ever had the guts to criticize Hyunjin's way of life. "It's not my fault, that boy is being complicated."

"Or, maybe he really doesn't know about anything you're talking about." Minho argued. He thought back to when Hyunjin put him through the same thing - Minho didn't know jack about who he was, it's just that Hyunjin happened to figure out that Minho would heal faster than others. He couldn't tell whether he was interested or just plain crazy to find someone like him. Changbin's eyes widened, and raised his hands to show his innocence in the argument.

"Excuse me? He's lived for roughly 17 years and he hasn't shown a hint that something must be wrong with him? That's just bullshit."

"It's not wrong, it's different."

"You know what I mean."

"I'll just talk to him myself then? Deal?" Minho suggested. Han jumped in and shook his head, "Now, that's just going to confuse him, we might as well just stick with Hyunjin." Minho sighed. Sending Hyunjin to Felix wouldn't confirm anything or get them anywhere. I doesn't make any sense whatsoever! "If we are going to do that, we might as well train Hyunjin to be more likable."

Hyunjin scoffed, "Likable? You've got to be joking."

"Not even close."

Felix was in no mood today. He felt groggy after everything that happened yesterday, and the rain this morning didn't help at all either. He was cold, tired, and sick. Nothing could help him.

Chan would only spare him a glance in the hallway as he walked past. Felix didn't know exactly what happened during the conversation between him and his mom, or even whether or not they had a conversation at all.

The environment was tense at their table; Seungmin tried to crack jokes to spark a conversation - but it only landed a few soulless chuckles until the table became silent once more. It wasn't until Han dropped by at the table to obviously cause some problems.

"Hey fuckers, You seem pretty boring so I've just want to spice up the party."

"The only thing you're spicing up is your hatred for me Mr. Jisung." Chan grumbled under his teeth. He picked his uncooked food on his plate with his fork, too focused on that to see Han's smile drop. "Don't call me that - also, if you want me gone I might have to bring your little friend with me." He nudged Felix and smiled.

"Go ahead."

"Well listen here w-what?" Han was getting ready to start his whole speech to convince Chan to let Felix go with him, but he just freely gave him up before he said anything. He didn't expect it to be that easy, and clearly, Felix didn't either.

"Well then," Han got up from his temporary seat at the table, "I guess you're coming with me." Felix sighed, and rubbed his temple. "Do I have to?"

"I don't think you really have an option."

Lunch at the 'weird kids' table (he changed the name from cool) was more comforting than he thought. Hyunjin did barely speak but whenever he did, it was only to add onto a harmless joke. Felix also met a new one in the group that heavily wanted to be called Minho, but Changbin and Han whispering to him - telling him to call him 'Lee Know' - confused him very much.

What really confused him was the fact that Hyunjin was staring at him - a lot. It wasn't that death stare, thank god, but more of a stare that you could never decipher how the person really felt.
