chapter 12

chan had no words.

"I know what you're all gonna do, you're gonna try to convince him to stay. don't do that. he's had it rough... don't pressure him into doing anything he doesn't want to"

"what do you mean he's had it rough? how do you know...?" chan asks.

she looks down.

"on his second day here, we had some talks so we could get to know each other better so we're not complete strangers. he came out to me. and the reason I put you two together is because he told me his feelings for you, he wanted to see if those feelings were real, because he's never had a real crush on someone before.

I figured it was also a good thing to do because you two are actually pretty alike. you both had to leave your families in australia to come here. you both can relate on many terms. I made your room arrangements for a reason. that goes for the rest of you also" she looks at them.

"why us?" minho asks.

"well for as long as I've been here I've noticed many things, one of them being you guys suck at hiding your feelings for someone" she says.

"what?" hyunjin asks.

"well jisung likes minho, hyunjin likes changbin, and I'm pretty sure that seungmin likes jeongin" they're all shocked.

"how... how did you figure that out?" jisung asks.

"because it's obvious. jisung is always being on minho's side for everything because he likes him, hyunjin plays around with changbin because he wants his attention, and seungmin likes talking to jeongin"

"you... you... you what?" changbin looks at hyunjin.

for the first time, hyunjin doesn't speak. neither does jisung.

"well... I do enjoy being around jeongin... but I... I don't know if I like him..."

"well since jisung and minho haven't talked, I'm sure that they like each other" she says. "I have a lot of work to do, go settle this in your rooms"

they go back to their dorms to see felix wasn't there.

"he's... he's gone...?" jisung asks.

oh yeah, felix's conversation with his mom continued. let's go back to that.

f mom: what is your choice?

felix: I think I'm gonna say yes

f mom: oh!

felix: aren't you happy for me?

f mom: of course I am
but I actually wanted to give you a job offer here, in australia

felix: what?
what kind of job?

f mom: our photographer who investigates on our products quit so since you do photography I was gonna ask you tomorrow if you wanted to come home and be our photographer

felix: oh
wow
idk what to say
you know I want to come home and be with you
you should've asked me before I got the job here, now I can't decide

f mom: I know, I'm sorry
I'm not gonna pressure you
it would mean a lot to me if you did say yes though
it's your life, I can't control what you do anymore

felix: you know I want to come home more than anything
but I'm here now, I have these guys

f mom: I know...
