"So, fill me in on all the details." Felix grinned as they sat down on his couch. Jisung groaned. He knew he couldn't keep anything a secret around Felix. Sooner or later he would find out. "Where do I even begin." Jisung started.

"First of all, I thought I had woken up late because I was an idiot and forgot what time he was coming over. I was freaking out, but my parents reminded me that he was coming over at ten. Then, my mom forced me to text him and ask if he ate breakfast already because my mom wanted to make breakfast for him."

"Why would she want that?" Felix asked, confused. "Because like I told you before, apparently I used to be friends with him when I was younger, and she remembered him. She wanted to hear how he was doing these days."

"It's still so weird to know that you two used to be friends." Felix chuckled. "I know. But anyway, he eventually came over, and..." Jisung paused. He didn't know if he wanted to tell Felix about the panic attacks. But he remembered that Felix was his best friend and has helped him with panic attacks before. And if he teased him then he wouldn't go too far.

"And I had a mini panic attack." He breathed. Thankfully Felix didn't question him and just looked concerned. Jisung continued to explain yesterday morning's events and Felix listened contently.

"Then finally we eventually start working on our homework, and we actually manage to get a lot done. That is until I somehow managed to fuck things up by closing the tab by accident. Minho was furious. He really went off at me and... I had a really bad panic attack." He continued. Felix frowned because he knew the reason why he had the panic attack was because he can't handle being yelled at.

"Shit, man. I'm gonna kill Minho." Felix growled. Jisung chuckled. "Well, he actually handled it pretty well for a moron. He comforted me." Jisung left out the details. "Comforted you how?" He asked curiously. Jisung scrunched his nose, hesitating. Felix gave him a look that insisted that he should explain it to him. "Ugh, I don't want to think about it right now."

Felix decided to let him off the hook, to Jisung's surprise. "We don't have to talk about it right now. You can tell me when you feel comfortable." Felix smiled. Jisung nodded, thankful of his friend. He didn't know why it was so hard to say it, he was usually fine with telling Felix pretty much anything. "Do you want to go to the mall with the others?" Felix suddenly asked. "Hell yeah, I've been wanting to get more clothes."

Felix texted the others, and they all said they could come along. They got ready and headed outside, saying goodbye to the Aussie's parents on the way out. They got into Jisung's car and drove to the mall where they would meet the others.

Once they arrived, they spotted the others standing at the front of the mall. They got out of the car and ran towards the two. "Jeongin!!! Crispy!!!!" Jisung screamed out. They both looked up and saw Jisung and Felix charging at them. Jeongin had a huge grin on his face while Chan had a scowl on his.

"How come you call Jeongin by his normal name and not me?" He chided. "Because it's funny to see you angry." Jisung snickered. As the two of them bickered, Felix picked up Jeongin and swung him around, making the youngest giggle with joy. "Whatever, let's just go inside." Chris huffed. Jisung just laughed as the four of them walked into the large mall. 

They looked around at all the stores as they walked, deciding where to go. "Ooh, Hyung!" Jeongin piped, tugging on Felix's sleeve. He pointed to a music store. "Look! There are all sorts of instruments and albums in there!" He chirped with excitement. Felix smiled at the younger's adorableness. "Let's go there then." 

"Do you guys want to come with us to that store?" he asked them while pointing at the store. "Sure!" Jisung answered and looked at Chan. "Yeah, let's take a look." Chan agreed. The youngest jumped in joy as they all headed to the music store. The four of them split up as they browsed the store. 

Jisung looked through the albums. He saw so many albums that he liked so he couldn't choose. Chan walked over to him, looking at the albums as well. Jisung wanted to buy a lot of the albums that were there but didn't want to blow all of his money on one store. He sighed. He didn't know that Chan was observing him, getting an idea for the younger's birthday present.

The four of them continued on through other stores, subtly buying birthday presents for Felix and Jisung. The blonde's mood was greatly improved because he was hanging out with his friends. He practically forgot about the previous events. 

Soon the four of them decided that they were done blowing practically all of their money. Felix and Jisung said their goodbyes to the other two and walked to the car. They put their bags in the trunk of Jisung's car before entering. Jisung started the car and turned on the radio. Of course, a twice song was playing and Felix and Jisung were having a blast singing along on the way back. 

He dropped Felix off at his house and helped him with his bags before saying goodbye and heading home. As he drove home, his mind began to wander as he started to think about this weekend again. He groaned, remembering he had school tomorrow. He really did not want to face Minho ever again, but he had to in order to get his clothes back.

He pulled into his driveway and turned the car off. He sat in the car for a couple of minutes before going inside the house.

Hello! I apologize for not updating in a while for those of you who don't follow me or read my posts, my phone stopped working and I was going through a lot emotionally so I haven't had the motivation to update. I hope this short chapter was enough for now, I'm currently working on the next chapter and it'll be more eventful and longer than this one.

Sorry if this chapter was kinda boring, it took me a while to write it because it didn't feel eventful and it felt kinda boring but I think it is important for the story. 

Also, thank you so much for all of the votes and comments lately! I've been getting so many new readers on this book! I hadn't checked Wattpad in a while when my phone stopped working, and I was overwhelmed with the number of people reading and voting on this! I just wanted to thank you for reading!

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and stay safe!
