Lee Felix Is Not Okay | Changlix

Chapter 8

His heart was pounding. Felix sat stressed on his bed, waiting for someone, Chan or Changbin, to inevitably enter his room. This was absolutely not a good situation. And Felix could still feel a slight sting in his arm where Hyunjin had grabbed him. The room was silent and he could only slightly hear words coming from the living room where he assumed the three other boys still were. He waited. And eventually, he heard stomping down the hall which he assumed was Hyunjin before hearing a door slam, making him jump a little. That must've gone well. Someone would be at his door any minute now-

Felix was pulled from his mind as he heard the anticipated knock at his door. He tensed up yet again before forcing himself not to look so stiff and he spoke up. "Who is it?"

"It's Seungmin, can I come in please?" Felix felt his eyebrows crease. Seungmin? He thought for sure that Chan or Changbin would be at his door but it was Seungmin? Felix put down his confusion and decided he should just let the younger boy in.

"Yeah, um, sure, come on in." the doorknob twisted before the door opened, revealing that it was indeed Seungmin outside his room. The younger walked in quickly before closing the door behind him, turning to face Felix before making his way over to the bed and having a seat beside him.

There was an awkward silence between the two as they waited to see who would talk first. Felix and Seungmin weren't the closest ones in the group, so they had never talked a whole lot one on one, and they didn't know how to start.

"Uh...so, what do you need?" Felix was the first one to speak up, patting Seungmin softly on the shoulder, encouraging him to join the conversation.

"I want to talk about...about Hyunjin." Seungmin looked Felix in the eyes, nervously.

"Okay...what about him?" Felix could tell this was going to take a little time, Seungmin looked worried and nervous and Felix was well aware that that wasn't good for talking.

Seungmin took a deep breath before continuing. "Well...is something wrong with him? He's acting weird and...and he wouldn't tell us what he said to you."

Felix blinked at Seungmin. So Hyunjin hadn't told them. At least there was that, but Seungmin seemed worried for Hyunjin and Felix couldn't help but feel bad for Min.

Felix chose his next words carefully. "Well, no, nothing is wrong with him per say...he just...had some realization recently. That's probably why he's off." Felix tried to play it off as no big deal but he saw Seungmin's eyes drop, as if he was almost expecting an answer like that.

Seungmin took in a shaky breath, closing his eyes for a second, and when he opened them they were glossy. He looked like he wanted to ask something but he couldn't get the words out. Felix put a comforting hand on Seungmin's back, trying to get him to talk or cry or something to tell Felix what was wrong.

"It..." Seungmin hesitated for a second "It's Changbin...isn't it?" Seungmin looked Felix in the eyes, he looked like he already knew the answer. His eyes held sadness.

Felix's eyebrows creased into worry as he looked back at Seungmin. So he figured it out. "Yes...Hyunjin told me that he...he's in love with Changbin." There was a tension in the air as Felix saw Seungmin's face drop even further, if possible, and he started shaking a bit.

"I-god, Felix, I just-" Tears began falling down Seungmin's face as he tried to talk to Felix, voice strained. Felix's eyes widened as the tears fell, and he reached over to pull Seungmin into a soft hug, resting Seungmin's head on his shoulder and rubbing circles on his back.

Felix hushed him gently as he cried harder, dampening Felix's sweater, but Felix didn't mind. "Seungminnie, what's wrong? What happened?" Felix spoke as calmly as he could but he was worried about the younger so it was a little difficult
