Chapter 23

Han Jisung

"Felix!" I heard someone called Felix's name. We both looked back and we found Changbin leaning against the wall with his hands on either side of his jeans' pockets.

"Let's talk." He casually said before walking away. Felix looked at me with worry in his eyes. 

"You can do it, Lix!" I tried to cheer him up before patting him on his shoulder. He nods before he walked away.

How I hope it all turns out the way we want it to.

"That wouldn't happen! I'm straight!" I mindlessly said. My eyes are glued to the screen of my phone. 

I was scrolling thro my secret Instagram account that no one knows even my members when a photo of Felix captured my eyes. I felt myself being slowly drowned at his features.

I looked up when I heard the door shut. I caught a glimpse of Jisung going out. I looked around the room and I saw them all looking at me.

"What?" I asked them as I turn my phone off, putting it in my jeans' right back pocket.

Woojin is shaking his head. Chan was looking at me with shock written on his face. Minho was looking at me with a judging expression.

The youngers were looking at me with their mouth held agape.

"Don't you realize what have you done?" Woojin made a click sound with his tongue.

I looked around again and I realized that Felix is not around, besides Jisung.

That's when I realized what I said.

"Shit!" I muttered before standing up. I walked out of the room. I tried my hardest to search and find him.

He might be on the rooftop!

I was about to run to the rooftop when I heard footsteps. I step aside. Away from their sight. I made them walk away for a bit. I leaned to the wall, putting my hands on my jeans' pocket.

"Felix!" I called his name out. They both looked back at me. 

His cheeks and eyes look a bit puffy. His disheveled hair still suits him. There are valid reasons for him to not look good but why does he still look so good?

"Let's talk." I managed to let out before I turn my back at them, slowly walking up to the rooftop they came from.

I exhaled sharply the breath that I didn't even notice that I'm holding in.

I waited for him to arrived. I only turn around when I heard his loosey footsteps.

"W-what is it? What are we going to talk about?" He said with his head hanged low.

I sighed before walking near to the rooftop's railings, leaning on it. I looked at my feet.

Why does this moment feel so awkward?

"I just want to ask if... Do you get offended with what I said earlier? I don't know..." I sighed again before looking at the sky.

"I..." I looked at him and I catch him with a smile.

"I'm not offended. Since I know you're only telling the truth." He said. I feel like he's just forcing himself to be fine in front of me.

"I'm sorry..." I breathed out a soft puff of air.

"There's no need to be sorry! I'm fine! Really!" He waved his hand in front of him, not accepting my apology.

"Felix..." 

"Hyung, I'm fine. Really..." Felix sighed. I walk closer to him before I pulled him in the hand. I wrapped my arm in his shoulder.

"Wait and see. Maybe that straight will be bent."

It's been weeks after that scenario of Changbin and Felix.

It's been weeks, yet the two are still on the first stage. I'll admit, they've gotten a lot closer than before but they still don't have a label of what relationship they have.

"Hyung!" I waved at Jeongin when I saw him approaching the van I'm currently inside.

"Are everyone here?" I asked them when Jeongin finally entered inside. They all answered yes.

"Let's go." I kindly said to the driver our manager assigned to drive us. The van started moving as well as the maknae's mouths.

I'm currently with the younger ones. We're going to the mall to buy gifts for the hyungs.

I'm going to give Minho the present that I picked for him. As for Changbin, Felix was going to pick another present for him. And as for Chan, Woojin, and Hyunjin, Seungmin and Jeongin will give them the present the two picked themselves.

"Why did you arrived late than usual?" I asked Jeongin who's sitting on the back with Seungmin and Hyunjin.

"I overslept." He chuckled.

After minutes, we reached the mall to buy the presents we'll be giving the hyungs. We all decided to go with each other since we don't want one of us to be lost.

We all didn't bring our masks. We forgot to bring it so now we're nervous if there are any fans inside.

But surprisingly, there are fans but they didn't go to us to get our autograph. Instead, they're just watching us from afar, giving us our personal space.

And I'm pleased with that.

"Ji, what will you buy for Minho hyung?" I thought for it for a while.

"A hoodie, maybe? I mean, all of us likes hoodies..." 

"That's all?" 

"No, of course. I'm gonna give him another thing but that's a secret." I said as I shushed him. 

We first go to where the maknae's want to go to. They want to go to a plush store. We all decided to give everyone a plushie.

Jeongin and Seungmin go by Chan and Woojin's animal nicknames.

They got this cute bear plushie for Woojin.

And this adorable kangaroo for Chan.

And of course, an Apeach for Hyunjin.

Felix and I wandered around the store, trying to find the best plushie to give our boyfriends. 

Well, Changbin and Felix weren't couples yet but that's where they're going.

A cute plushie caught my eyes. I cooed because of the cuteness of it and I'm sure that Minho would like it too.

It's a calico cat plushie that I'm sure Minho would like since he loves cats and it's so cute!

"Ji!" I snapped my head to the direction where I heard someone call me. I saw Felix at the Pokemon section of the plushie store.

"Why?" I said as I grabbed the cat plushie before going to Felix.

"Do you think he'll like these?"He said as he showed me a big plushie.

"Gyu!" I exclaimed.

It's a Munchlax plushie that Changbin adores so much!

"He will not only like that. He will love that!" I exclaimed before jumping up and down out of excitement. 

"And this?" He showed me another plushie.

{A/N: Hi, that's me. I'm Snorlax! ㅋㅋㅋ)

"He'll also love that!" 

We all went to the cashier and paid for all the plushies we brought. We all walked out the store, deciding to just put the plushies on the van first.

Expecially Felix's large Munchlax plushie. We did came back inside the mall when we're done putting it inside the van.

"Where to?" Felix asked.

"Hoodies!" The three of us exclaimed in chorus, resulting to a wave of giggles.
