"I-I should go-" Felix insisted but the other stopped him from running off again.
"I'm sorry. They're prettier than I imagined. People are so wrong. They are complete opposites, but they are the most gorgeous pair of eyes I have seen in my life. I could stare like a creep for hours." He definitely looked amazed.
"Really?" Felix looked at him with hope woven in his expression. The older nodded with a bright gleam.
Changing the topic, the latter said, "I don't think I properly introduced myself! My name is Jisung, but you can call me Han. My grandma owns this garden and I, Seungmin, and Jeongin are the ones that are keeping it in pristine condition." That was when Felix truly took notice of his surroundings. The blooming flowers left a sweet scent in the air with the wind gently blowing through his hair. Vines threaded themselves through branches, circling around trees, weaving together. There was a bench nearby, showing hints of rust.
"My name is Felix. I moved here recently from Sydney, Australia," he stated with a hint of a smile forming on his lips. It truly was like a paradise. "Well, thank you for talking to me, but I should really get going. It's starting to get darker by the minute," Felix stood up, letting Jisung's arms fall back down into his lap. They might be strangers, but Felix had a strong gut feeling that Jisung or Han was a good person and just wanted to help. Most of the time it's accurate.
"You can come here if you ever need to. The other boys working here are Jeongin and Seungmin. They are really sweet. They should show you to me. Bye! Get back home safely," he wished Felix. Felix nodded in acknowledgment and raced back, bookmarking the place he was on his smartwatch, for the future. He followed the directions back with dread slowly pooling in the depth of his stomach.
My mom is making a problem of what my stepfather is saying when he didn't even have any attitude in his voice. I get that she's annoyed by something (I can hear it in her voice) but seriously... Maybe it's because I don't understand how people think or function. That just makes me sound like an alien or something XD
