"is it really necessary to put my name in that form?"

jisung asked, siting next to his friend who was busy signing documents that jisung had never seen before.

"you know it's standard procedure once you enter this room."

jisung sighed, leaning his head on his friends' shoulder.

"but what if i just wanted to talk to my friend?"

"it still goes on the forms."

jisung pouted but let felix be. he knew how serious felix could be with certain matters like this. although he didn't know why, he didn't want to pry either.

his friendship with felix was one that neither parties could truly explain since they were close but despite that, they barely knew each other.

people often asked jisung how felix was behind closed doors but even then, jisung could never answer because the person that felix showed to the world was the same felix that he showed to jisung. the only exception to that rule was in the sunshine room.

within those four walls, the happy, optimistic felix became serious and mellow, an air of thinly veiled impatience hanging around him but despite that, he still tried to smile and be as optimistic as he was outside the yellow confines of the brightly painted room.

"what did you want to talk about anyways ji?"

"he's bothering me again."

"minho?"

"yes, who else?"

lee minho was jisungs' long term crush, having had known the boy since childhood. jisung admired the older boy but he never seemed to take note of that until after he graduated and left jisung without so much as saying a word.

"it still bothers you that you don't know where he is?"

jisung nodded, just the mention of minho bringing tears to his eyes and felix quickly gave the boy a hug.

"if it's meant to be, he'll come back."

felix muttered, giving his friend pats on the back but a small part of him thought that whatever he said was utter bullshit.

people don't come back once they decide to leave.

"so how have you been felix?"

changbin asked the second he walked inside, dropping his bag right by the door and falling onto the seat in front of felix.

"i should be asking you that."

"come on lixie! it's so boring if i'm the only one talking!"

"i'm a counsellor, i'm supposed to, oh i don't know, counsel you not be counselled by you."

for some strange reason, changbin laughed at his statement, a sound that felix had never heard before ( but to be fair, he never had to pay this much attention to him before either ).

although it was an unfamiliar sound to him, felix couldn't help but smile at how genuine his laugh had been and changbin noticed this and quickly took out his phone and took a picture, completely surprising the younger boy.

"hey! you can't just take my photo without asking!"

"i do what i want!"

he stuck out his tongue at felix and unlocked his phone to show felix the picture he had taken of him.

"besides, you look cute."

"this is an invasion of privacy!"

changbin pouted but ended up laughing again at how felix was frowning at him with his arms crossed and his clipboard sitting on his lap.

"sto-stop laughing already!"

felix sighed but didn't bother to hide the fact that he enjoyed listening to his laugh, the smile returning onto his face.

"i still need to ask you questions you know? you're just making this session longer by acting like this."

"fine, fine, fine, i'll concede!"

"so, i heard that you completely missed all the lessons before lunch today. did you oversleep?"

"no. i just didn't feel like going for those lessons, that's all."

"you do know that's truancy right?"

changbin nodded, a smile still on his face despite the fact that he had indeed broken a school rule and indirectly admitted to it.

felix on the other hand was struggling to wrap his head around the mystery that was seo changbin.

"are you going to report it?"

when felix met changbins' eyes, he saw a hint of fear and that was when he noticed that the boy before him had clasped his hands together, his legs shaking in a continuous manner.

"i won't. whatever you say here is between you and me unless it's something like you murdered someone then i would have to report that-"

"if i murder people with my good looks, is that a crime?"

felix was completely dumbfounded by how seriously changbin could say that and it caused him to move back a little and survey the boy before him.

changbin wasn't the typical handsome boy but there was something about him that felix found undeniably charming and dare he say it, attractive.

"i see you're enjoying the view."

"w-we are going completely off topic here!"

felix stammered, fixing his hair nervously as an attempt to use his arm to hide the blush that was forming on his face.

another laugh and felix could've sworn right then and there that he would be in trouble because he could feel himself slowly caring about the boy before him and care and affection was something that he didn't want to give others anymore.

but there he was, smiling and enjoying the presence of seo changbin, completely forgetting that they both had troubles that they had to talk about.
