Before turning towards Jeongin's house, Chan slowed the car down. He leaned back in his seat as Jeongin eyed him curiously.

"You know.. You can stay over if you want." suggested Chan, looking anywhere but at Jeongin as his fingers tapped on the steering wheel. He wanted, no, needed more time. A heavy feeling of longing captured his heart.

Jeongin giggled softly. "You're saying that now?"

Chan turned to lock his gaze with the latter's. "We can drive back."

After a moment, Jeongin tore his eyes away, gazing out the window at the overly familiar neighbourhood. He sighed.

Assuming his silence meant rejection, Chan stepped on the accelerator and pulled up in front of Jeongin's house.
He reached out and placed his hand over Jeongin's, then looked right into the younger's conflicted eyes. "Take care."

Jeongin nodded. Involuntarily, his gaze fell down to Chan's plush lips and he held his breath. Upon noticing, Chan moved his hand to grip Jeongin's face, then leaned in to meet his lips in a quick peck.

With the warmth still lingering on his lips, Jeongin mumbled, "Bye.. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Right. Don't forget our date." Chan smiled, the smile being returned with a timid one of Jeongin's own.

After mindlessly driving for a while, Chan decided to make a call and set the phone on speaker. Not even half a ring later, Felix picked up.

| 'Hey is it normal to cut the milk carton's top off and pour cereal into it then drink it instead of eat?' |

Chan's eyebrows furrowed, his brain giving up for a split second. He shook his head with a sigh. "Lix what the fuck are you trying to do?"

| 'In general? Trying to stop thinking of someone. Right now? I don't know! Why did you call?' |

Chan opened his mouth, then closed, his mind searching for the right words. Actually, why did I?

Felix stayed silent on the line, before speaking up again.

| 'You good?' |

Chan could feel the concern in Felix's deep voice. A troubled expression painted over Chan's features. "No.." He inhaled, trying to keep his eyes on the road while attempting to sort his thoughts out.

"Lix - I feel weird.."

Chan breathed out slowly. He heard a sigh on the other side of the phone.

| 'Alright, I'm coming over.' |

Once Felix hung up, a defeated smile took over Chan's lips. He had already, by this point, figured out what it was that set his heart on a mini marathon when with a certain somebody.
