Chapter 17

"Fuuuuck!" Felix screams at himself in the bathroom mirror as he's hunched over the sink, dripping wet from taking a shower.

Changbin has been giving him the cold shoulder and has just received a text reminding him he has agreed to go to the beach for a day with Hyunjin and his friends. Of all the times it could have happened it has to be now.

Felix splashes his face with water then walks out of the bathroom before proceeding to his wardrobe and finding something to wear. All while contemplating whether to go or not.

He's alone in the room since Chan is working with Changbin and Jisung on some music and he can't be there. It's probably best right now anyway.

First trying on some blue shorts and a loose white button-up shirt. Looking in the mirror Felix checks if it is okay with no scars visible when he notices the reflection of his phone laying on his bed. Going over to his bed Felix thinks for a second before calling someone.

After a few rings, their sweet voice comes through, "Hello?".

"Hi, mum," Felix says shyly.

"Oh Lixie, how are you? Is something wrong." She has always been able to tell when Felix is down.

"Actually yeah," Felix starts before taking a deep breath. "Two of my friends fought and no one will tell me what's going on. One is still talking to me but changes the subject if I try to bring it up. The other has invited me to go to the beach with them today but I don't know if I want to do..." Felix wishes he could be completely honest but is he does his mum will most likely fly over and become his bodyguard.

"I know I don't have much say because what you think is what matters most but I am going to say this, I say go to the beach and maybe see if you can get your other friend to tell you. However, since they aren't telling you it might be better for you not to know." Felix likes the idea of maybe getting Hyunjin to spill. Only problem Hyunjin doesn't know Felix knows his real intentions.

"Thanks, mum I'll take your advice and go to the beach." Felix tries his best to sound happy.

"Okay, sweetie. Well, I hope everything goes okay." Her cheerful spirit helps Felix to feel better.

"Aha yeah... talk to you soon, love you." Felix gives a kiss.

"Love you too."

At the sound of the beep ringing through Felix flops down onto his bed thinking if this is really the right decision. Not getting long to rest his phone goes off with a message from Hyunjin.

Hyunjin
Hey, we heading to the entrance of the dorms now. Meet us there :)

Felix laughs at Hyunjin having the audacity to put a smiley face.

Getting back to his feet Felix puts on a pair of white converse and pick up a backpack before heading down to meet them.

"Heyyyy." Hyunjin frantically waves his hands up in the air for Felix to see him, if it isn't obvious enough with the bright orange shirt.

"I'm sure I could see you from a mile away." Felix laughs off as he reaches them.

"Well," Hyunjin throws an arm around Felix's shoulder. "At least you won't lose me at the beach. Anyway, Minho is going to take up to a shop to buy food and drinks first." With his arm around Felix, they start walking to where Minho is waiting in his jeep with Seungmin and Jeongin.
