Mirror | Changlix

10. morning

The following day.

"Felix hyung!"

"Yeah?"

"How are you? Are you okay? Isn't the ghost giving you too much trouble?" Jeongin stood up from the stairs. He still felt like it was his fault that Felix got possessed, because it was his idea to give him the mirror.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Hyunjin's doing okay too, I guess. He just made a big scene at lunch yesterday."

"Oh yeah, I heard something."

"What?? You too? How come even the younger kids know about it. You're not even in the same cafeteria."

"Well, what goes around, goes around."

"Oh, how mysterious. Now spill it, who told you!"

"Nobody! Nobody... I just heard some older students talk about it in the hallway, okay??"

"Why should I believe you."

"Just let it be, does it really matter?" Interruped them Hyunjin.

"Yeah, of course it does! I want to know who spreads this stuff."

"It probably isn't only one person. Like half of the people in the cafeteria saw you. You shouldn't even be surprised."

"I guess you have a point." Finally admitted Felix.

"See, I'm always right. Now, let's go." Said Hyunjin impatiently.

They met Seungmin on the way, but luckily Hyunjin minded his own business.

'Hm, Hyunjin has been ignoring Seung since yesterday morning. I wonder what he's thinking.'

"Hyunjin!"

"Oh god, stop yelling."

"Nobody exept you hears it anyway."

"Whatever. What do you want."

"The first time you saw Seung, you freaked out but now you seem just fine."

Hyunjin scoffed. "And what should I do? Jump and strangle him? Stab him? Throw him in the river? What do you expect me to do??" He said bitterly.

Felix was a bit taken aback. It seemed like Hyunjin had a whole list of ways to kill someone. "Uhm, I don't know. I didn't think about it."

"That's your problem. You don't think."

"Oh come on! We were getting along and now you're just being mean again." Felix pouted. "If you don't stop with your attitude, I'll have to call a ghost exorcist or something."

"Leave me alone. I can do what I want."

"Uhm, no?? This is still my body."

"..."

"..."

"Hyung, what's wrong?" Jeongin looked up at him.

"Oh, it's nothing. Hyunjin's just throwing a fit again."

"I see." Said Jeongin even though he didn't understand.

Felix patted his head and smiled. "Don't worry, hyung is fine."

Although Hyunjin hasn't really said anything, Felix felt there was more to it.

He didn't have more time to think about it though, because they just entered school and he saw Changbin walk with Jisung and Minho.

Felix stopped in his tracks. He quickly scanned the surrounding to see if there wasn't any place to hide.

"Feliix!" An annoying voice called out.

'Oh no, they have seen me.' Felix wanted to be anywhere but here.

Jisung smiled brightly at him as he walked up to them.

"Hahah, I've heard what happened yesterday at lunch. It's a shame I couldn't see it with my own eyes." Jisung laughed.

"Hm, what do you think, Changbin? Do you think he should have been let go so easily? Making such a scene."

"Hm?" Changbin was looking at Jisung the whole time. He didn't spare Felix even a glance.

After hearing the question again, he reluctantly averted his gaze and shrugged. "Nah, it's fine. I don't really care."

That hurt Felix more than if he was mad at him.

'So I'm not even worthy of one look. He probably doesn't even remember me.'

And the look Changbin gave to Jisung was like a sharp knife to Felix's heart.

Jisung, unsatisfied with Changbin's response, turned to Minho.

To his surprise, Minho was chatting with Seungmin.

Jisung's face darkened but it became bright once again. "Eh? Minho hyung why are you talking to him?" He asked sweetly but sharply.

Minho turned to him. He didn't notice the discontent in Jisung's voice.

"Seung and I are in the same music class. We're talking about the group project we have till monday." He replied honestly.

Felix was now equally schocked as Jisung.

'D-Did just Minho call Seungmin, Seung??'
