Feeling kinda tired Felix decides to skip dinner and go straight to his room. Having been through a huge wave of emotions it is now time to relax and calm down.

Spooning a pillow faces the wall where he has a Billie Eilish poster up. Looking at her he grabs his phone on listens to some of her music. Allowing her voice to soothe him to sleep.

Waking up sometime after Felix sees that Chan still isn't back yet. Checking the time it's almost quarter to ten. Chan will have to be back soon otherwise the dorm mother is going to be pissed.

Felix has never been in trouble with her as he has been at this school for two days now. But that one time meeting her as he moved in yesterday was enough to scare him.

She is small and yappy like a chihuahua, doesn't help that her voice is high pitch and it seems like she doesn't know how to use an inside voice when speaking.

Not feeling tired anymore after his three-hour nap Felix pulls his laptop out of his backpack and for a movie or another K-drama to help him learn Korean.

He didn't struggle too much today. As in first class, you don't need to speak to learn choreography. After lunch when he had language studies which helped him knowing others struggle with speaking Korean. The only problem though was that he is the only Korean.

Knowing that tomorrow people might be talking about him behind his back. But it's nothing Felix isn't used to. Similar things happened at his old school.

About thirty minutes into his first episode of Itaewon Class, Felix hears yelling coming from down the hallway. It's the dorm mother, Mrs Kang. "Get back here young man?" Her voice grows louder as if she coming up the hallway towards Felix's dorm.

Felix looks up seeing the door open and an exhausted Chan slams it behind him with his back.

"Open up!" Mrs Kang bangs on the door shaking Chans body with each hit.

"Only if you put that staff away." Chan replies which shocks Felix hearing that she has a staff.

"Why you deserve a good bollocking!" Felix doesn't understand the last word said but knows it isn't good by the tone or her voice and Chans face turning pale.

"What's going on here?" A deep man's voice is now heard outside.

"This student was back 10 minutes after curfew, sir!" Mrs Kang voice changes as if she's kissing up to the other guys' ass.

"May you please step outside of your room so we can take care of this matter and Mrs Kang... can you please put that away." Chan opens the door and reveals the man who Felix recognises as the principal.

He stands at six feet tall, black hair slicked back and wearing a navy suit with a light brown trench coat.

"I'm sorry sir. I was with my friend who lives off-campus and there was traffic on my way back." Chan says in one swift breath as he bows

Mrs Kang raises her hand as if she is about to swat Chan but the principal catches it. "See the boy apologises. Now it's the first official night here so I'm sure we can let this slide for just tonight." The principal places a hand of Chan's shoulder while he looks at Mrs Kang.

"Uh- yes sir." Mrs Kangs says quickly bowing and scurrying off.

"A good thing I came when I did." He gives Chan a pat in the back. "Is Lee Felix in? I'm here to see him."

"Yes sir." Chan opens the door wider so they could see Felix in a nest of covers and pillows, a laptop prompt up with a Winnie the pooh plushie in front of him and big messy hair.

The principal holds back a laugh but can't stop giving a little smirk. "May you come outside so I can speak with you Felix privately, please?"

"Sir?" Felix stops walking and looks at the principal who nods for him to continue. "Why did you want to see me?"

"Because your mother called me. She wanted me to check that you are okay." he doesn't look at Felix while speaking just at the clear night sky above.

"Ah, thank you but I'm fine." Felix looks down at his feet.

Seeing this the principal ruffles Felix's hair causing him to look up. "I met your mother at university so we have been friends for quite a few years. I met you once when you were a baby so I'm sure you don't recognise me."

"Sorry." Felix feels the need to apologise.

"What for?" The principal walks Felix over to a bench for them to sit on.

"You must have to deal with a lot knowing my situation back home." Felix plays with the strings of his hoodie.

"Don't worry about, you can come to my office if you ever need help." The principal looks at his watch seeing the time he stands up. "I better be off and so should you, you do have school tomorrow."

"Wait." Felix reaches out to grab his wrist but pulls back just before. "What should I call you?"

"Mr Kim." With those final words, he walks off leaving Felix standing alone.
