"You're saying I have a business of my own?!?!? Like I'm rich rich?!", Felix's eyes were sparkling in excitement but he totally went off from the main topic that Jisung died and he woke up here again. Felix slapped his face twice. Once to see if he wasn't dreaming and twice to snap him out from this because he needed to focus on what was the main idea here.

  Felix cleared his throat, shifting on the school bench after they had moved from the stairs and went to the backside of the school.

   "Dude! You like time travelled twice!", Like Jisung had once said, he wouldn't really call the first time as time travelling since it was only him forgetting his memories but if you see it from others point, you can put it that way. In fact, he didn't know it himself.

   It's like he went to the future with the mental age of 18 then he started getting all these memories and just like Felix he didn't merely see them but actually feel them as if he experienced it himself. Himself at the age of 18 and himself at the age of 28 felt like those two had become one in him. Hence, the reason why he had a bit of identity crisis. He didn't know whether to act like a teen or an adult.

   "Jisung you're quite dumb", Jisung was baffled, he didn't know where that came from but Felix was sending him some really disappointed look and maybe a bit of pity to him.

   "Who in the world eat anything given by a stranger?", That was like a stab to a wound. Felix shook his head, flailing his hands around and also making this ugly frown with his lips, his brows knotted together and his eyes narrowed. In short it was a really annoying expression to see because Felix seemed to be mocking him. "Like you eat it twice! Twice I say!"

   "Well...I didn't think much since it was only some candies and from an old lady. She doesn't seem harmful", somehow, he regretted saying that because Felix was shooting him another one of his annoying expression. A sudden urge to poke Felix in the eyes arises within Jisung. "so, if an old lady give you drug and say it's candy, would you eat it?"

    "Are you 5?", Felix shook his head and held one hand in front of Jisung. He didn't want to listen to Jisung's explanation. "Nevermind the future I keep seeing in my dream. I could totally see your future now. You will be the most vulnerable scam victim ever".

   Jisung eyebrows arched, he slapped Felix's shoulder. "You're having fun mocking me?"

   At that, Felix started laughing uncontrollably. "My bad", Felix did find Jisung was stupidly dumb but he wasn't serious about everything he talked about. He just wanted to lighten up the atmosphere. Jisung just had a lot of burden to carry. He knew that much.

   "So, what are you going to do now?", He was asking this sincerely because ever since this morning, he had been observing Jisung and Hyunjin. When Jisung went up to Hyunjin and shot a conversation, he could clearly see what was going on.

   Jeongin once said that Jisung's gaze was extremely odd because it had changed but he didn't know how to put it into words.

    "The way you look at Hyunjin...", Jisung hummed, he looked up at Felix and tilted his head. What was it about the way he looked at Hyunjin?

    "That isn't a look of someone who just live together under the same roof", It wasn't like Felix had any experience in this sort of situation but he wasn't blind unlike his other friends.

    Maybe because it was windy that day due to the rain that had just stopped but when the wind blew and he saw Felix's hair flying around with a smile on his face...also the words that came out from his mouth he was caught in the moment. "You love him, don't you?"

    His friend really did have some way with his words. This wasn't the first time today Jisung was completely surprised by Felix.

    He felt a moment of regret when he heard those words. He never properly told Hyunjin about how he felt. He didn't get the clarity he deserved and telling Hyunjin now would be impossible. "Hearing what you told me just now. You even throw yourself in front of him just to save his life..."

   "The Jisung I knew would never do that for anybody. You really have grown", Should he laughed at what he heard because an 18 years old was actually telling someone mentally older that he had grown. 

   "Or like you said because I love him", It wasn't difficult to agree to that, right? After all, he did love Hyunjin but to Felix's question about what he wanted to do. He didn't know...what to actually do.

   "I'm just going to find the person who threw his acceptance letter", Then after that what? He did say he wouldn't give up on Hyunjin but a lot had changed. Felix didn't go to Australia, Hyunjin didn't get third place, he didn't fa into a manhole and there was no binding moments from when Chan told Hyunjin to accompany him while he was in the hospital.In the end, Hyunjin might not starting like him.

    He knew this yet he was trying to cover it up with a smile and his faked enthusiasm. It wasn't that he was trying to stay positive but it was because he didn't really have much choice. He prayed for the god to give him another chance to be with Hyunjin but once his prayer was answered, he was too afraid to actually do anything. He tried his best, didn't he? He tried to make Hyunjin hate him less but will it be only him doing all of these one sidedly?

   His insecurity was getting the best out of him and the freckled boy noticed it, he held Jisung's hand and smiled at him. "Jisung, you don't have to try that hard"

   Felix looked up to the sky, "if you're meant to be together you will meet each other in the end. If not, why would god give you this chance?"

   He counted with his finger, "This is the second time this happened. Don't you think it's because god wanted to save you and Hyunjin? The god doesn't want to give up on you guys that easily because what you have with him is something beautiful"

   All Jisung knew, Felix might have just picked that up from Google or something but it comforted him. "What site did you get those quotes from?", He said to lightened up the mood and Felix looked at him a bit offended. "Do you think all I do is play with my phone or what? That was sincerely from the bottom of my heart"

   He pointed out his index finger and waved it around, "and in the first place. I had always known the two of you kind of have this amazing dinamic"

  That was the first time he heard about it because he was just told often that him and Hyunjin was like cat and dog because all they do was bickering whenever they meet each other. "You know like I had always know that everything you guys had was only some tension and you guys probably fucked it out".

   Jisung almost spat out when Felix put it in that way. Forget what he said about Felix having his way with words, he just say whatever there was that crossed his mind. "Can you not put it that way?", Felix was laughing again, so was Jisung.

   Didn't it feel nice? Two friends were laughing together and it gave Jisung a bit space to breath.

   "Hyunjin", Hyunjin avoided Mr.Myeon's gaze. He didn't really want to hear about all of these scholarship stuff. "You did great in today's talent show!", Hyunjin knew it was only a praise that he had probably given to the person in the first place too. This was all for formality. He didn't come to hear this. He wanted to say that he wanted to yield the second place benefit to the third place.

   It was said that if the winner of third place have two members, only one can get the scholarship benefit but it would be extremely difficult because they would only recommend the winner but in no mean would the school go all out to promote them.

  However, second place and first place were different. It was all set that they would get the scholarship even though it wasn't certain.

   "This is the first event I had supervised ever since I come to this school and it was a huge success", Mr.Myeon kept talking, Hyunjin wasn't really having it. "I'm happy with this but how come... Hyunjin? You don't look that happy", once again, he tried to avoid the teacher's gaze.

   "I'm here to talk about that", once he get this done, he wouldn't have to fight it out with his parents. "Can you give the third place my benefit?", He expected the teacher to question him more but the teacher merely stared at him, one hand under his chin as if he was deep in thought.

   "There must be some reason but I wouldn't ask.", The teacher was odd, Hyunjin knew he wasn't unlike the other teachers the moment Hyunjin saw him hanging out with the school cleaners.

   "However, can you think about it until you get a respond from the university?", Hyunjin bit his lips, he didn't know if he could keep his frustration in for that long. "It might take a whole 2 weeks?"

   The young boy nodded, bowing at the teacher before he went out.

   "Sir...", He went back inside, the teacher raising an eyebrow at him. "Can I go back early today?"

   Mr.Myeon smiled at him, it wasn't like they had anything to do today and the school had shorten it's time today too but it would be difficult to answer if he can go back early or not. It would be unfair for the other students, no? Plus, they still had their own rules. Just because one student who looked sad wanted to go home didn't mean he can actually do that. If so, the whole school would be sad by now just to go home early.

  Seeing that smile, Hyunjin shook his head and went out again. "Nevermind sir." He was only asking because he was tired out and he didn't feel good to be staying around with many people. School can be pretty tiring.

   "Hyunjin", he turned around again. "If there's anything troubling you. You can always talk to me anytime"

   Something about this person made Hyunjin comfortable. It's like he had know the teacher for a long time that he had no trouble returning the teacher's kind smile. "See you around sir". He finally left the staff room.

   Walking through the corridor, he glanced at the window and saw his own reflection. He actually looked like this the whole time he was talking to his teacher. He looked extremely troubled.

   No wonder, the teacher didn't ask him anything. If he meet someone with the same expression, he would be afraid too if he ever make that person feel bad.

   He went back into his class, his classmates started clapping at him. He smiled at them in return before sitting down at his seat, pulling out something from his bag.

 
   He had not drink the bottle of cider Jisung gave to him. He had only realized that Jisung had drawn something at the top of the bottle cap.

   "How childish", he twisted the cap and took a huge gulp from the bottle. He wasn't thirsty but it would be a bad manner to not drink it since Jisung had already gave it to him.

  When he said how childish, he didn't actually meant it for Jisung but to himself for being cheered up by the little smiley face drawn at the top of the bottle cap.
