The blaring sound of an alarm rang through Jeongin's room, well, at least he thought it was blaring. He set his phone close to him and had it on a low level so his father wouldn't hear it.

He lifted his head, really hating how he had to live. He turned it off and turned his lamp on so he could see. He slowly got out of bed and walked over to his closet, taking out a sweatshirt and jeans. The creaking sound of a door opening caught Jeongin's attention and he started to panic. He tossed the clothes under his bed and got back into the comfort object, shutting off his lamp and pulling the covers over his head. He laid down and stared at the wall, trying to calm his breathing before his dad walked in.

A few minutes passed and a door closed. Jeongin turned to his door and got out of bed, getting dressed quickly. He grabbed his phone and slipped it into his back pocket. He grabbed socks and slipped them on and fixed his jeans before leaving the room with his bag. He got to the front door quickly and he slipped on his shoes, nearly falling over when he heard a door upstairs open. "Shit, shit," Jeongin whispers. He stood up and grabbed the house keys and his bag. He opened the door and stepped out, closing the door behind him, and walked off towards the normal coffee shop he stayed at for a couple of hours.

"Innie."

The male jumped and smacked the hand away from his shoulder. He turned around and covered his mouth when he saw Chan giving him a confused look. "I-I'm sorry," Jeongin apologizes and Chan gave a soft smile. "It's alright," Chan said and gave him a gentle kiss to calm him down a bit. "You free tonight?" Chan asks.

Jeongin was about to speak but his phone vibrated on the lunch table. He turned to it and picked it up, silently gulping at the text from his dad. He texted back and gently placed his phone down. "I have things to do after school," Jeongin answers and Chan frowns. "You never have things to do after school," Chan says and Jeongin gave him a smile. "Things came up suddenly," Jeongin says and Chan nodded his head, a little disappointed. "Okay."

Jeongin smiles and watches Chan walk off. Chan rubbed his face as he walked down the hall, both from tiredness and frustration. Recently, Jeongin had gotten jumpier with not only him but everyone who tried to hug him or even give him a simple high five.

"Chan!"

The male who was called jumped at the shout and looked at who said it. "Oh, hey, Felix," Chan says as the male walked over. "Everything okay? I've noticed you've been a bit out of it recently," Felox answers and leads him towards the library. "Yeah just um...losing sleep and been stressed lately," Chan explains and Felix frowns. "Stressed about what?" Felix asks as they enter the library. "Jeongin, he seems really jumpy lately and it's scaring everyone since he was never jumpy," Chan answers and Felix nodded his head. "I've noticed that too." 

Chan was about to say something else but noticed what Felix was holding. "Who gave you the flowers?" Chan asks and Felix looked at the two flowers he was holding. "I don't know but aren't they cute?" Felix asks as he holds them. "They're...black. I didn't know there were black flowers," Chan says and Felix hums. "Yeah but I got a...really creepy gift but I threw it away," Felix answered with a shrug. 

Chan hummed and nodded his head. "What about sleeping?" Felix questions as they made it to the small room where Hyunjin and Seungmin were, Hyunjin messing with his boyfriend's hair. "Hi," Seungmin said to Chan who gave a smile. Hyunjin smiled at him but didn't say anything. Felix sat down and motioned for Chan to sit down which the senior does. "Has school been throwing a lot of shit...assignment at you?" Felix asks and Chan looked at him with a shocked look. 

Hyunjin stared at Chan and Felix. Felix started eating his food again as he waited for Chan to answer. Hyunjin gave him a smile and went back to messing with Seungmin's hair who was close to falling asleep. "U-Um...yeah and also my AP teacher has been gone and our substitute has been stressing everyone out," Chan says as he glanced at Felix who hums. Chan tried to look at the male's computer but Felix glared at him and pulled it closer to him. "How much sleep have you've been getting?" Felix asks and Chan tried to think. "Maybe...3 hours or 2," Chan answers. 

Felix hums and wrote it down. "Have you tried falling asleep during the weekends or the few breaks we have?" Felix asks and Chan nodded his head. "Yeah and I haven't gotten any," Chan says and Felix nods his head, writing that down as well. "Can I offer you a counselor for one session?" Felix asks as he tears the page he had written Chan's explanation on. "Uh...sure," Chan says and Felix smiles. "Great, would you mind if I come to join?" 

Chan shook his head as he took the paper, reading over the notes. "No," Chan answers, and Felix smiles. "Great, meet me by the front of the school after school," He says and Chan nodded his head. "You may leave if you want." Chan nodded his head and bid the three goodbyes before he left the room.
