"what is he doing here?" Seungmin asked, glaring at Jisung who had been dragged by Felix into their shared room. The three of Seungmin, Felix and Jeongin were roommates. "I saw him sitting outside an ice cream parlor. He was scaring the kids from coming in"

Seungmin rolled his eyes. He didn't bother to talk to Jisung and went inside his room. On the other hand, Jeongin who was about to walk out from his room went back inside.

He opened the door slightly and stared timidly at Jisung who was standing like an idiot in the middle of the room. Felix sighed. He couldn't believe he was going to be the one reasoning the both of them.

"How about you two sit down and have a talk?" Jisung shook his head, Jeongin slammed the door and Felix sighed again. "I'm supposed to be the childish one here..."

"You wouldn't say that if that squirrel punch you in the face, Felix!" Seungmin yelled from his room.

Felix rubbed the temple of his forehead before dragging the squirrel to his room. "Wait here"

Jisung nodded obediently. He didn't really have the energy to say no to Felix and he was grateful Felix picked him up.

He felt like eating ice cream today but he left his wallet in his room.. if he wasn't an idiot, what was he?

Felix came back into the room with a bowl in his hand. "Here, your ice cream" Jisung's eyes twinkled as he took the bowl from Felix. "Felix, I luv you!" He said with mouth full of ice cream.

Felix sat next to Jisung. "You feel bad right?"

Jisung choked on his ice cream before he went quiet, eating his ice cream in silent.

He hummed, "I didn't mean to..."

Felix pulled him into a hug. "I know you don't mean it, Jisung." He patted his head. "You're not a bad person as others make it seem like you are"

"But I hurt people"

"But they hurt you too....verbally" Felix said, pulling himself from Jisung. "But...Jeongin didn't do anything!"

"And you didn't mean it. It was an accident,right?" Jisung nodded once again. "You should talk with Jeongin. I will try to talk with the coach"

Jisung shook his head, holding Felix's hand. "Not yet. I can't do it now" Jisung hugged the ice cream bowl, looking at his ice cream with a sad gaze.

Felix didn't understand why Jisung was doing this to himself but he was willing to wait until Jisung open up. "Why not?"

"Because...I don't want to. Not now" Felix nodded. "Tell me about it later" he knew something was up with Jisung hut he just wouldn't say what it was.

"Later" Jisung said.

It would be great to talk with Jeongin but it wasn't the time yet. He was scared. He was scared of opening up. So far, only Hyunjin knew about his issue and only he knew of Hyunjin's issue but currently, he couldn't talk with Hyunjin because of his circumstance.

"Are you feeling better?" Minho asked, scoffing when he saw Hyunjin stuffing himself with the food he brought. "He's probably still tired" Na-Eun said, grabbing a few players for herself and Minho.

Minho squinted his eyes and stared at Na-Eun. The girl raised her eyebrows, tilting her head. "Yes?"

"Who in the world are you?" He asked, blantly.

Hyunjin slapped Minho's shoulder. "Don't be rude to her! Sorry, Na-Eun. He's nature is a but rude" Minho rubbed his shoulder, still staring at Na-Eun to the point it got uncomfortable for her.

"Na-Eun? I heard that name before...where?" He clapped his hand. "Ah! You're that girl Jisung wouldn't stop talking about!"

There was a dead silence eating them up in the room. Minho's laughter lowered down before he realized something was not right. "What is this? Why did the both of you tense up when I say Jisung?"

Both still stayed mum.

"I have to go now!" Na-Eun said, picking up her bag. Minho held the plate, pointing at her "what about the chicken?"

"I'm sorry. I need to go now" she said, running out from the room.

"What was that about? Hyunjin..." He looked at Hyunjin who was eating his chicken quietly. "Hey! Hwang Hyunjin!"

Minho folded his hands, stomping his feet. "Seriously? I come all the way here to meet you and you ignore me?"

Seeing no respond, Minho sat back down. He sighed. Hyunjin was being complicated again. "Hey, if you don't get back soon. They might send Kevin for the competition"

Hyunjin's head snapped to Minho's direction before it slowly went back to the plate in his hand. "Oh"

"Oh? Are you kidding me?" Minho asked in disbelief. The so ever proud and arrogant Hyunjin was acting so nonchalantly about this news?

"Hyunjin, you better heal quickly. Tomorrow is your last chance or they're cutting you off"

He pointed at Hyunjin. "Don't say I didn't warn you. I need to go now. Do you need me to call Jisung for you?"

"He wouldn't come anyway..." Hyunjin replied.

"He was pretty panicked when I said you didn't come to practice tho. Guess he didn't come to visit you after all" Minho started packing his things, he turned the kitchen light off and went out. "Just be sure to rest and come tomorrow."

"Hey, are you Na-Eun?" Na-Eun turned around to see a familiar looking face. She nodded and bowed at the stranger. "Yes, can I help you?"

The stranger smiled and shook his head. "No, I just want to make sure you're Na-Eun. I'm Kevin" Kevin said, offering his hand which Na-Eun grabbed hesitantly.

"You seem like you're waiting for the bus. Where are you going?" Na-Eun fixed her bag strap on her shoulder, feeling a bit uncomfortable by how close Kevin was being with her. " Just somewhere near"

The next bus arrived and Na-Eun hopped in, so did Kevin. "What a coincidence. I'm going to the town too"

"Right..." Na-Eun laughed awkwardly and went to sit to the furthest seat. She was relieved to see Kevin sitting far away from her but he still glanced at her and smiled.  He's probably just being friendly she thought, smiling back at him. I'm just having weird thoughts...
