Felix is a... Genius?

Can You Please Keep My Secret?

"This party is not chill, this party is so not chill. I want to leave so so badly somebody please get me out of here" mutters Changbin under his breath.

By now countless drunk teenagers have spilled their drinks on his shoes, his friends were nowhere to be found, and Felix and Jisung had started singing drunk karaoke with some other partygoers two hours ago. The party was wild and crazy, just like the birthday boys themselves. It felt as if the whole highschool had shown up, Minho had told Changbin that it would only be close friends, and maybe a couple of plus-ones. But as it happened, friends had invited friends, who had invited even more friends. Currently, Chan's house is packed to the brim with kids with some of the activities even spilling out into the front yard.

"I guarantee it won't be more than like fifteen people Changbin, just close friends Changbin, screw you Changbin for believing me at all, I'm gonna leave now and try to bang one of the birthday boys." Changbin continued to mutter, now imitating Minho while perhaps adding one or two things that weren't actually said.

The sounds of people chatting float above the music and multicoloured lights barely manage to illuminate the room, another stranger bumps into Changbin before quickly apologizing. The floor is sticky and the air smells like a variety of alcohol and sweaty teenagers.  Changbin considers leaving, but he had said that he would sleep over and his phone had also died so he can't phone a taxi to get a ride home.

Jisung and Felix begin to sing a very pitchy, very drunk, not very good version of Sia's Chandelier.

Changbin gazes hopelessly up at the ceiling and groans, how did it even manage to get to this point?

A few hours earlier...

Changbin shrugs his backpack higher on his shoulders as he walks hurriedly towards Chan's house, due to various circumstances he's running late to help get the house ready for the party and he is not excited for the verbal berating from his friends. Once he gets to the door he lets out a quick breath and adjusts his shirt collar, part of him is actually pretty nervous to meet Chan's cousin and his friends. It's weird that he's going to meet two Felix's in one week, it's going to be very hard for him if this cousin is similar to his tutor at all. His heart sure needs a break from all of the pretty boys in the world.

Changbin knocks on the door before letting himself in and is shocked at the transformation. Multicoloured streamers hang from the roof and helium balloons float alongside them, a giant banner that says "Happy Birthday Jisung and Felix!" is strung across the ceiling. Strings of colour-changing lights wrap themselves around the room and the speakers that are set up play faint background music.

"Wow! You guys really went all the way huh," commented an amazed Changbin as he gazed around the room.

"Yeah, those of that were here sure worked hard to set this up," Chan says pointedly while walking into the room, dusting off his hands.

There seems to be a commotion from the kitchen deeper in the house, and the sound of excited chatter can be heard.

Chan puts a hand on Changbin's shoulder and smiles mysteriously, "Prepare yourself, buddy. You're lucky that two of them are gone right now."

Just as Changbin gives Chan a questioning look, the sounds of multiple pairs of feet come pounding towards him.

"CHAN'S NEW FRIEND!!!!"

"NEW GUY! NEW GUY!"

*Seungmin noises*

Startled, Changbin looks towards the direction of the sound and sees three very excited teenagers rampaging towards him for a couple of seconds before he gets surrounded and bombarded with questions.
