{after dinner}

"seungmin?" hyunjin smiled at the cute boy, who was munching on one of changbin's cookies. "yes, hyunjin?" he looked up, mindlessly wagging his tail.

standing in the doorway of the boy's room, hyunjin let himself in. "um... i just wanted to let you know that i'm going out be out for probably the whole day tomorrow. tell the others, yea? your room is closest to mine so..."

"okay." the other acknowledged him and questioningly stared back. "and why are you in my room again?"

"oh." hyunjin began to back away. "i'll leave, never mind." seungmin sat straighter, shoving the rest of the still-warm chocolate chip cookie into his mouth. "wait! i didn't mean it like that. you can stay."

"oh? but i have to go get ready-" hyunjin started out the door.

"no! you can go after this." seungmin got out of bed, stomped over to hyunjin, and kissed him on the cheek. "now go!" blushing, he pushed the taller out of the room with a sharp push.

hyunjin stumbled out of the room, cheeks just as red as seungmin's. he turned around, resisting the urge to sit down and scream out of happiness.

staggering into his own room, hyunjin closed the door and slid down against it, bursting into laughter. however, his joy was quickly interrupted with a dry cough from the bed.

"um... i think you have officially gone insane." minho stared at him with concern, a notebook and phone in hand. "i have not!" scrambling to get up, hyunjin looked up in shock. "why are you even here?"

"chan told me to help you get your shit together for tomorrow." minho sighed, scrolling through something on his phone. "you know, we cant be tracked and all. stores are very public places."

"well, duh. and we've bought stuff a million times. why do i need to be drilled in this again?" hyunjin flopped face down into his bed, hiding the smile that was still playing on his lips.

"i don't know. anyways, i've called someone who can help us, he said he was willing to cover up the records from the store." minho scribbled something down in the notebook.

"okay. so do you know what time?" hyunjin got up and peered at the notebook. "and which store?"

"yea, the address is xxx on xxx street, and he said come to the store at 12 pm sharp." minho replied, tilting the phone in his direction.

"okay. let's just hope i don't fuck this up."

felix was curled up in his bed, staring at the ceiling. a million different thought were rushing around, thickening the silence he had brought upon himself and suffocating him. when he first stepped into the house, the last thing he was planning to do was to begin going out with someone.

that definitely wasn't in his plans. he was glad that it had happened, but the looming uncertainty of his whole entire existence concerned him to no extent, combined with the one month limit that their relationship had, felix had grown an immense amount of anxiety, leaving him to think twice about the whole thing.

"lix hyung?" a soft call jolted felix out of his thoughts that were slowly spiraling down.

sighing, the strawberry blonde boy snuggled deeper into the sheets. "yes?"

"are you alright? you don't seem okay. you didn't even come down for dessert." jeongin, who had been concerned, made his way over to the bed and placed a hand on felix's shoulder.

"im fine... just worried." he refused to meet his friend's eyes, looking down at his hands. shifting slightly, he let the blanket fall from his shoulder.
