It was the day, it is the day, shit it's today.

"Mom have you seen the my power bank I think I just saw-- Maaa dont cry!!" Felix stood up from his bed then through his still messy luggage, he reached out to hug his mom.

"Do you have everything prepared? Please eat properly dear and don't forget to go home okay? I'll always wait for you dear!" With tears running down her face, she still tries to fix her son's clothes and hair with a big smile on her face.

"Mom~ it's not like I'm leaving for good! I'm still coming home at holidays and if I could, on weekends!! You know mom you could visit me you have more free time" Felix wiped one tear from his mom's face, playfully dancing around while holding his moms hands.

"I still work silly" Mrs. Lee was a freelance makeup artist and artist, she earns just enough for the 2 of them. Felix could never repay his mom for all the hard work she has done for him, that's why he took up this offer, he knew his mother was having trouble finding a place for him to stay for uni.

"Have you called Hyunjin?" Felix shook his head in reply. They haven't talked or seen each other since Felix met up with Mrs. Hwang. Suddenly his phone rang, it was probably Hyunjin, he started thinking he has summoning powers or something.

He then answered his phone.

F: hello?

H: lix right?

F: yup that's me

H: ahhh good I thought I got the number wrong hehe, ughh so I'll pick you up at 1 you ayt with that??

F: yup sure! I'll be ready by then

H: okiee pack well! see you!

F: yeah see you!

end of call

"You guys finally getting along well again"

"yeah sure we are"

--

"Yes mom I'll take care, take care of yourself as well" Felix bowed and smiled. He just got all his luggage out to wait for Hyunjin.

"Call me okay tell me about your day!!" As he mouthed a yes, a car stopped in front of them. Felix knew exactly who it was and sighed deeply as he saw the driver's car door slowly opened.

"Mrs. Lee!! Good afternoon, I'm here to fetch Felix" Hyunjin hurriedly got out to bow and gestured for the luggage so that he could put them in the back.

"Aish this is totally unnecessary" It was some kind of word vomit for Felix, Hyunjin was formally dressed, with his tucked button up shirt or whatever and his ankle length pants, unnecessary, his black hair was fixed, unnecessary, he had shades on, unnecessary!!

"I'll help you with that" As soon as those eyes met with his, all he could ever do is nod.

"Mrs. Lee, we'll get going now! Thank you so much for everything!" After they bid goodbyes, upon entering the car, Felix already knew how awkward this car ride was gonna be, or so he thought.

As they start to move, Hyunjin thought of playing the radio to loosen up the tension between them, only for the DJ to talk about failed relationship. Felix just hoped he would be swayed by the beautiful scenery along the way.

"Uhm, lix just want to say that the condo is fully furnished, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to bring you there earlier to view it, thats why I suggested that we arrive 2 weeks before the first day, I thought we'd need time to ugh, adjust and settle in" Felix shifted from starring at the window to Hyunjin.

"Yeah we'll need that honestly" The car came to a halt for a stoplight, giving Hyunjin sometime to look at the male with dyed gray fading hair. "By the way what's your course"

"Oh it's microbio"

"Woah that's cool, I guess you can already guess mine"

"Business?"

"Ding dong daenggg" They both chuckled as the lights turned from red to green and so there was silence as the car started moving again.

"This song is dedicated to all those who have been left by someone they loved, may it be a friend, a lover or a loved one, we all need to be stronger, this is DJ Nix and this is 'Sing My Song' by Gu Keunbyeul" The DJ announced as the song starts playing.

'You are the future, even the flowers are turning your way, to reach higher, but when I stand in this pouring rain as if I'd be on my own, without you'

'It just had to be that song huh?' Felix thought, h starts thinking that if it just started raining right now, he'll probably start bawling his eyes out as well, this was his breakdown anthem. He really couldn't help it so he took a peek on the male beside him, he was enjoying the song and slightly tapping along the rhythm on the wheel. 'His side profile improved pfftttt'

'So I'm thinking about the memories through this song, it helps me forget about everything that went wrong'

Felix suddenly found himself recalling the day him and Hyunjin fought, the day where everything fell apart.. But what's the use of getting sad and sentimental right now? He thinks his brain loves doing this to him, you know, breaking down on every single sad song.

'Although I know that we're not through for sure, deep down in my heart the pain I can't ignore, Oh.. and so I sing my song'

Hyunjin noticed the other was getting lost in his thoughts, it filled him with curiosity. It was a sunny day but Felix's mind feels clouded, just realizing that the both of them didn't really put closure to anything that had happened. Hyunjin was right, he was really getting lost in his mind.

"Hey" Felix finally snapped out of it as he heard the other trying to catch his attention "Earth to Lee Felix" He turned to Hyunjin who was still snapping while looking at the road.

"Yeah yeah what's up" He then fixed his posture and tried to fix his other bags in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Hyunjin took a chance to look at Felix, it was just for a moment that their eyes met but Lix could see the worry on his face.

"Mhm" He nodded and returned to look at the view from the window, as he faced that way Hyunjin stole another look at him before changing the gear and speeding up. Not long before that, Felix fell asleep after a day of packing and thoughts.

Every time the Felix's head was about to fall of, Hyunjin made sure he was able to catch him before he wakes up. After about 20 mins after the other fell asleep and about 5 more sad love songs the DJ returns to make their final comment.

"And that was all for Afternoon Lament with me, and I just really have to say, after listening to all those, that, I guess giving closure is very important with, past friendships and relationships, you would never know if the person is still carrying that heavy baggage in their heart right? It may have been that years have past already but you know that person once was a very special person in your life and probably still is, just a piece of advice my dear friends. This was DJ Nix see you all again, tomorrow"
