#022

Another seemingly usual day enrolled into Hyunjin's life. He was bored out of his mind because Seungmin was still sleeping, hence why he didn't have any company plus his father was at work again.

He was sitting on the white sofa in the living room, aimlessly searching for some watchable shows. He did not find any, you may know.

As if on que, his boredom came to an end when a few knocks echoed through the empty room. Hyunjin was a little surprised, he wasn't informed about anyone showing up today.

He got up, feeling a little dizzy as he fanned himself lightly with his black shirt. His blond hair was tied in a high-ponytail, it helped clearing the vision.

Hyunjin opened the door.

The person who stood there had his eyes glued to the doormat. Heaving out a quite sigh, he looked up and smiled shyly.

"Hey."

The blond-haired furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, heavy feeling settling inside his stomach. "What are you doing here?"

Felix tried to play it cool, but failed as his eyes met with the other's cold ones. "I'd like to talk to you for a little. Can you let me in?" He asked softly.

Silence surrounded them for a few seconds, you could actually hear the chatter of a couple who walked past the house. The situation became awkward for Felix.

"Why would I?"

The younger narrowed his eyes, successfully without the other noticing it. He wanted to laugh in all honesty. "Hyunjin please, I'm here to apologize."

"Alright then come in." Hyunjin stood aside, letting the other male in who scoffed silently at his friend. "We can go to my room, it's more convenient." He continued and walked up the stairs with the other following him.

They sat on the bed. Felix remembered their last encounter and hoped that this time they can sort things out. He wanted to help his best friend, so he began talking.

"I want to talk things out. Listen, Hyunjin I just want to know why are you shutting me out of your life. We're still best friends so please tell me what's bothering you." As he said this his eyes became warm, masked hope danced in his heart.

It faded when Hyunjin let out a cold chuckle, fist clenching as their eyes met.

"Best friends huh? Funny how YOU say that. You don't even care about me, always busy with shit ton of homework right? You probably have other friends to be with..." Hyunjin spat.

Felix was taken aback.

"Pardon me? You're pissed at me...for having friends and school work? Hyunjin what the actual fuck. Why are you so childish? YOU'RE TWENTY FOR FUCKS SAKE!" He stated, letting his voice out, but regretting it after seeing the other's shocked expression.

This was the first time Felix has ever shouted at him.

That's why he decided to attack back.

"SO WHAT IF I AM?! And where the hell were you for the past weeks huh? You say you care about me but look at you...always lying and being selfish." Actual hurt flashed through his heart that was reflected in his dark eyes.

At this point the younger was just plain disappointed. This was the moment where he knew that this discussion won't end well.

"Hyunjin...you really haven't paid attention. When I was here I told you that the uni takes us to a 3 weeks trip to Japan. You even nodded when I told that I won't be able to connect you. I got home yesterday night." It was his time to show pure emptiness through gritted teeth. Hyunjin just stared in front of him.
