17. jelly

After leaving the cafeteria, Felix ran to catch up with Seungmin.

"Seung, I'm so sorry that I scared you. I didn't flip the tray because you decided to stop eating meat. It was an accident. If you want to be a vegetarian, so be it. I will always love and support you even if you choose to renounce all the meat, whether it's chicken nuggets or-"

Seungmin grinned. "Felix no, it's okay. I actually thought you flipped the tray because you don't like that guy."

"...oH." Felix blinked. "Maybe Hyunjin flipped the tray, in fact, because he was angry and jealous."

"No, I did not." Said Hyunjin darkly.

"Haha yeah, whatever, I still think you're jelly. Well, now that I think about it... don't you think you should move on? This Seung is not your Seung so he can date anyone he wants. Whether it's a meat lover or a weird vegetarian dude."

"..."

"Boy, you even said you hated him so where's the- nO WAI-"

Felix tripped again and fell with his face on the ground.

"Oh my God, Felix are you okay?? You're so clumsy these days. Always falling and dropping stuff." Seungmin rushed to help him get up.

"Goddamn, that stupid ghost."

"...what?"

"I-I meant stupid ground." Felix quickly corrected himself.

"Yeah, it's old but it's more dangerous than we thought. Maybe we should tell the principal."

"Nah, I don't think it's that important." Felix shrugged.

"Anyway, about that guy, I've changed my mind..."

"You don't like him anymore?" Asked Hyunjin.

"Yeah- wait no. He's really cool but I won't be giving up on my chicken nuggets just for him."

"Oh."

"Hyunjin you seem kinda disappointed hahhaha-"

"Do you want me to trip you again?"

"Nononono, that won't be necessary I'll shut up now."

"Yes Seung, that's the spirit! Food over boys." Felix grinned.

"Haha, yeah."

"Yeah, you stick to your rule quite literally, huh?" Hyunjin raised his eyebrows.

"What- OH NO YOU DIDN'T."

"...It's you who always throws food on that Changbin guy."

"HWANG HYUNJIN."

"Who?" Seungmin looked around.

"Wait no, nevermind... It's nothing..."

"???"

"Ehm... Hyunjin's... my cousin! It's his birthday today and I just remembered... haha. Yeah... I'll just go now." Felix babbled random things.

"Oh okay. I didn't know you had a cousin." Said Seungmin, a visible confusion still on his face.

"Haha yeah, well I have one now. Okay byee." Felix waved him goodbye and left.

Hyunjin facepalmed. "You're just making it worse."

They left Seungmin standing alone in the hallway. He muttered to himself. "Hwang Hyunjin? That name sounds familiar though. I think I've heard it somewhere before...

"Maybe Felix already talked about his cousin before, but I don't remember. Yeah, that must be it."

Felix ran to the nearest turn in the hallway and stopped.

"Hyunjin, you gotta pull yourself together my dude."

"Hmph."

"..."

"..."

"...Yeah okay, let's just go." Felix sighed.

"Where? We don't have afternoon classes today."

"How do you... oh really. You're right, we don't." Felix opened the timetable.

"I told you." Hyunjin rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, but how do you even know. Weird."

"Not everyone is as dense as you are."

"HEY. Just wait till I dig up something on your past life."

"..."

"That reminds me... we forgot that history book in the library. Oh my god, I hope someone didn't take it."

"You never know, it was two weeks ago. Anything could have happened."

"Welp."
