it'd been a month since hyunjin's last appearance at school. none of his friends knew what he was up to, there was no way of contacting with the boy whatsoever.
and felix... he looked... he was broken.
after a week the longinest transformed into loneliness, then into just sadness, but then came nothing. it just felt like nothing now.
he was sitting in his room, playing (or trying to play) the piano. he couldn't concentrate on the notes, his mind always drifted somewhere away, to that one black haired boy.
his grades got worse and he did nothing about it, he just couldn't care.
seungmin started to worry, a lot.
and that day he came to the blonde's room, knocked twice, came in on him staring blankly at the black and white keyboard.
he told felix that he's going to hold a party this saturday (it was his birthday), he invited all his friend and, of course, wanted felix to show up.
he didn't even invite him but forced him to go and spend the time with the guests when they arrive.
felix tried to speak against it at first, but then realised that maybe, just maybe a bit of distraction would do good for him, so he agreed.
maybe that way he would forget...
🍪
the saturday came way sooner than expected. it was five o'clock. the guests were supposed to arrive at six.
"lixie, can you bring me that box over there?" seungmin called from the kitchen.
"sure!"
felix tried to lift the box, but the thing weighted more than probably half of his weight! he brought it with difficulty (and a lot of painful noises) to the kitchen.
"what is this thing?! i thought i'm going to get a heart attack..."
"just some stereo, a microfone, some bass."
"ugh, it's going to be so loud."
"but it will do good for you. listen," seungmin walked to the younger, put his hands onto his shoulders, making him look up, "i don't know what's going on, but i know something's been bothering you lately. if it's about mom-"
"it's not about mom. now, just mind your own business and don't interfere with my problems."
felix left the room, leaving seungmin frozen on the spot. he'd never seen the boy snap before, never did felix use such an aggressive tone to him as well.
he was way than worried, he was scared, anxious for his younger brother; and the worst part was that he didn't know how to help him.
so he placed the hope into the party. maybe a loud place with loud music and loud people would help him in even the slightest way... he wished it would.
it was ten minutes till six when the first guests started to come.
