Pov - Felix

My breath quickened as I turned the keys in my car turning the loud machine on. Tears escaped my eyes one by one as I backed out of the driveway.

Why am I like this right now?

Jisung why do you have to have a date right now. Hyunjin can't you meet your family another time? Seungmin and Jeongin what is so important that you won't answer anything that I send you?

A bing went off as Chan texted me his address, thankfully he wasn't that far away from where I was. I drove with tears in my eyes and me occasionally whipping them away to see better.

Pathetic sounding sniffs left my body as I pulled into a unfamiliar house. My engine turned off as I pulled the keys out. Without a second thought I scurried to the front door and knocked quickly. Panic setting in for no good reason.

When nothing was heard for a few seconds I started to panic harder. Crouching down in a fetal position and hanging my head low.

Please come out. Please...

As I was thinking the worst a door opened. The person started to freak out when they saw me in the state I was in.

But nonetheless they crouched down with me and spoke softly. "Hey, Felix, it's going to be okay. Let's get inside so you can tell me what's going on, huh?"

At the words I looked up and was hit with the most genuine smile ever. More tears cascaded down my face and I nodded quickly.

He stood up and reached out his hand for me to hold onto as I tried to stand up with him. Chan's fingers interlocked with mine as he lead me through his house. Only to stop at a door, he looked at me and spoke, "Go down there and make yourself comfortable, I'll make some hot chocolate for you"

Warmth left my hand as he pulled away from mine. He turned around and started to head back to his kitchen.

"Don't leave me" I panicked grabbing onto his wrist and tugging a little. "Please" I mumbled the last part.

He smiled sweetly at me, "Of course" a hand scooped up mine again and he sat me at a stool facing the kitchen. I watched him put hot water into a pot and let it boil. The hot chocolate mix came next after he poured the hot water into the mug. He walked back over to me and lead me back to the door.

He had me open it for him and we stepped in. All the walls where plain white as a green backdrop fell against on of them. Lights and camera stands where set up in front of the screen. I was in aww as I saw strings of pictures and props in bins and on the wall.

Chan sat the cup onto the table in the midde of the spacious room. He patted for me take a seat next to him and I did.

I sipped the drink as the warmth of the mug touched my finger tips. Chan leaned on his hand looking at me, trying to study my face.

"What's happening?"

I looked at him startled that he talked out nowhere. The mug was back on the table as my fingers found there way into my lap. My face looked down at the wooden patterns littering the expensive looking furniture.

Chan didn't bug me to talk when I didn't right away. He waited and just sat there looking at me calmly. No expression that I could read from his face.

I sighed and started to open my mouth to finally talk. "I had a panic attack"

Chan nodded already knowing since he practically saw me have one in front of his house. "Was there a reason?"

It was my turn to nod. Of course there was, there always is, for me anyways. "My mom got into an a-accident" I stuttered as I felt warm tears start to run down my face again.

A large hand pressed into my back and it soon started to rub circles, making me feel better to continue on. "My mom doesn't live with me here in Korea, she lives back home in Australia. I should have been there, you know?" I rubbed my eyes.

"She didn't want me to move out here in the first place and this is what I get in return..." I mumbled.

I looked over to Chan and his face didn't change, he was really listening to me. Even if he didn't show emotion I could still feel that he cared.

"Felix..." he spoke, "if you think your mother being in an accident is your fault, then your wrong. You couldn't have known that something like this would have happened"

My head nodded slowly as I listened to his words. But soon after his words stopped and everything went silent.

"Why did you leave Australia?" Chan blurted out.

My body slouched as I thought back to everything. "The family that I was living with was mean to me, they did many things that I just don't want to talk about" I could see Chan nod, understanding. "The people at school hurt me and I just needed to leave.

"Making fun of me for being gay, for being who I am. Hurting me mentally and emotionally any chance they could get. I was always the person that people would use to get their stress away, if you know what I mean..." I started to think about everything, emotions flying back.

Something sparked in Chan's eyes as I said the last sentence. His hand dropped from my back and his fist crawled up to the table as he turned away from me to look at the wall.

"Chan-"

"Don't say anything else, please" he sighed.

Regret filled into my stomach. I said something wrong didn't I? Maybe it was a bad idea to come here.

Chan turned back to me and I gasped at what I saw.
