Roommates //Changlix

Part 23

*Felix's Pov One Week Later*

I silently look out of the window to the city. I feel like my eyes are dried out from crying.

I can't even think about his name, it makes my cry.

"Uh, I brought your homework, if you want to do it," someone says to me. I turn my head slightly to see Yugyeom who smiles sadly at me.

That night after Changbin left, Yugyeom brought me to his apartment since he knows that Changbin is my roommate.

"You've been here for a week. Aren't your friends worried about you?" Yugyeom asks me.

I just shrug in response.

"Why don't you at least text them?" Yugyeom says.

"I guess," I say.

"Okay, and also, you can't stay here forever, you're going to need to go to school soon. Before Monday if possible. You've already skipped a whole week of school," Yugyeom says and stands up.

I just not in response and Yugyeom walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.

As soon as he leaves, someone calls me. I sigh and answer the call.

"Omg! You picked up Felix! Why haven't you responded to any of my messages and calls?!? Where are you?? Are you okay??" Hyunjin yells at me through the phone and I take my phone away from my ear.

"Jeez, I'm okay, I'm safe," I say.

"Where are you? What happened?" Hyunjin asks worriedly.

"I'm at my friend's house," I say. "And um, something happened at the party last week... I don't know if I really feel like talking about it," I say.

"You can talk about with me," Hyunjin says.

"I don't feel like talking about it... At least not over the phone," I say.

"Okay, then tell me where you are, and I'll come."

"I'll ask if I can send you the address," I say, getting up to find Yugyeom. "I'll text you if I can."

"You better," Hyunjin says and I hang up.

I walk out of the bedroom and see Yugyeom sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"Do you mind if I send my friend your adress so he can come here?" I ask and Yugyeom looks up at me. 

"Sure that's fine," Yugyeom says.

"Great, thank you," I smile a little and text Hyunjin the address.

"You feeling better?" Yugyeom asks me.

I think of that night with Changbin and sigh.

"A little," I say.

"That's good, are you thinking about leaving soon and going back to school?" Yugyeom asks.

"I don't know," I say.

"Okay, I'm gonna go make dinner, does pizza sound good?" Yugyeom stands up.

"Sounds great," I smile. I walk back to the room and sit down on the bed.

Why am I even so sad? I knew that Changbin would never like me. I think of the first time I ever saw Changbin, which was when he performed on stage. I think about when we first met, and the time we kissed, and all the other things we did together.

I notice that I'm crying.

Why?? Why did I ever have to like Changbin?!?

"Felix?!" Hyunjin asks worriedly and rushes over to me. He hugs me as I cry for a while.

Then I wipe my face and let go of Hyunjin and he sits in front of me.

"Okay, tell me what happened? Why are you crying and why are you here?" Hyunjin asks me.

"U-um, well," I say and look down the bed. "You know Changbin?"

"Yeah, what about him?" Hyunjin asks seriously, staring at me.

"Well... Last Friday at the party... I was playing a game with some people when Changbin dragged me out of the party. And then he put his face really close to mine and I thought he gonna kiss me. But the said... That he has... A girlfriend, and..."

I start crying thinking about it.

"And?" Hyunjin asks.

"Well I asked him why he almost kissed me on the Ferris wheel and he said it was all a mistake and that he'd never be gay. Then Yugyeom came and punched him and he left, so I've been staying here," I say and try to stop myself from crying.

"I'm so sorry, that's awful. I'm gonna kill that son of a bi-" Hyunjin says angrily and stands up.

"No! No, don't do anything, it doesn't matter. I was stupid to like him, I'll get over it," I say and wipe my tears.

"He hurt my best friend, I can't just let him get away with that," Hyunjin says.

"Please don't, it'll just make me feel worse," I say and Hyunjin's face softens.

"Fine," Hyunjin sits down the bed angrily.

"So why are you just hiding out here?" Hyunjin asks.

"I-I don't know. I didn't want to go to the school because of Changbin," I say.

"Oh come on, you can't just hide here and cry forever because of what he did. You need to be strong, don't let Changbin get to you. You need to go back to school and act like nothing happened, like what he said didn't hurt you, sooner or later he'll regret what he did," Hyunjin says.

"Why would he regret it?" I ask.

"Well when he sees you happy, he'll realize that he does like you and he'll hate himself for hurting you," Hyunjin says and smile widely.

"I don't think so," I say.

"Well if not, you'll find someone way better, you don't need Changbin in your life, you've barely known him for a month," Hyunjin says.

"I guess you're right," I say.

"Of course I'm right, now let's go back to the school, okay?" Hyunjin stands up and holds out his hand to me. I look at it and think.

He's right, I don't need Changbin in my life, and I shouldn't just hide from him because I'm sad.

I take Hyunjin's hand and he smiles widely at.

"Man I missed you!" Hyunjin says and hugs me and I smile.

"I missed you too," I say.

"Um, the pizza is done," Yugyeom slightly opens the door.

"Oh okay!" I say excitedly.

"Are you gonna stay for dinner?" Yugyeom asks Hyunjin.

"That sounds.... Nice actually," Hyunjin smiles.
