After Felix had explained everything to his three friends, they sat in silence while they wrapped their minds around what was he had said.

"Wait what the fuck? I didn't expect Changbin to be like this? He was so sweet to you. Are you sure you didn't hallucinate while hanging out with him?" Seungmin was the first to talk.

Felix slapped Seungmin's arm, "No I didn't hallucinate you bafoon. I'm just as shocked as you right now."

"Maybe Jeongin is right." Jisung admitted out of nowhere.

"I'm always right but which instance are you talking about?" Jeongin replied.

Jisung rolled his eyes at the younger, "Maybe Stray Kids isn't as bad as we thought. Maybe It's just Minho."

"I told you. You guys never believe me." Jeongin huffed.

"I wonder what Minho said about Jisung." Seungmin smirked.

"Oh please don't remind me about that. He probably talked about how much he wanted to punch me." Jisung groaned.

"Or maybe he said good things about you." Jeongin suggested.

"Minho is the only person in Stray Kids who is actually rude, even Changbin said that. I doubt he said something positive about me."

"I wonder what Yedam said about Jeongin." Felix wiggled his eyebrows.

Jeongin blushed, "Stop it. He probably was just talking about how I ran into him during lunch. He was probably ranting to them."

"Or he was telling them how he thinks you're cute." Felix suggested.

"That's definitely not it." Jeongin shook his head in denial.

The purple haired male rolled his eyes. There was nothing that would convince Jeongin otherwise.

"What about you Felix." Jisung changed the subject.

Felix furrowed his eyebrows, "What about me?"

"How do you feel about Changbin?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Felix, observing how he would react to the question. Felix's cheeks flushed, "I—what do you mean? I don't feel anything towards Changbin." He looked everywhere but at his friends.

Seungmin, Jisung, and Jeongin all looked at each other and busted out laughing.

"Bro you suck at lying." Seungmin said in between laughs.

Felix pouted. "I'm being serious."

"Yeah okay." Jeongin said unconvinced.

"We all know you like him at least a little bit." Jisung said.

"I do not! I just might enjoy being around him. He might not be too bad." Felix mumbled the last part but of course his friends heard it.

"Wow. Never did I think that Felix would fall for a gang member." Jisung said surprised.

"I never said that."

"Yeah but we all know you meant it." Seungmin snorted.

"No no no. I don't like him." Felix shook his head.

"Not yet." Jeongin teased.

Felix's phone went off. "I bet that's Changbin." Seungmin snickered with the other two friends.

Felix rolled his eyes as he looked at his phone. It was text message from Changbin saying that he was here.

"That's my cue to leave." Felix said getting up.

"Wait he's here?" Jisung gasped.

"Yeah. I told him to pick me up at your house instead of mine." Felix said as if it was nothing.

"I don't know how I feel about a gang member knowing where I live." Jisung joked.

"Shut up. Minho carried you home once and he's more dangerous than Changbin." Felix snapped back which made Jisung hold up his hands in defense.

"Introduce him to us." Seungmin suggested.

"Absolutely not." Felix walked towards the door.

"Come on! We want to meet your future boyfriend." Seungmin tried to convince but the targeted boy rolled his eyes, "I thought you guys were scared of Stray Kids?"

"I was never scared of them." Seungmin scoffed.

"Ok well you're a different story. You're not normal." Felix said.

"Maybe I was but after what you said, I guess they aren't as bad as I thought. Expect for Minho and of course they're still intimidating but I'll manage." Jisung smiled.

"You guys are just gonna embarrass me in front of him."

"Of course, that's what best friends do." Jeongin smiled.

"Maybe next time. Bye guys." Felix quickly put his shoes on and ran out the door, to Changbin's car.

Jeongin, Jisung, and Seungmin opened the door wide and all waved to Felix, "Bye Felix!" "Have fun!" "Don't do anything stupid!" They all yelled out to him.

Felix just flipped them all off and climbed into Changbin's car, making everyone laugh as the car drove off.

"He definitely likes him." Jeongin said to his two friends.

"Oh yeah for sure."

"Yep no doubt."

-

At around 5 pm Jisung had gotten a FaceTime call from Felix. He accepted the call and Felix's face showed up as well as Seungmin and Jeongin's.

"Oh what's the occasion for this group FaceTime?" Jisung asked.

"Well Seungmin wanted to know what happened today with Changbin and he suggested to call everyone else so now you're here." Felix answered.

"Okay so spill."

"I mean it's nothing big. He took me to the fair and stuff." Felix said as if it was nothing.

"This was obviously a date." Seungmin said.

"It wasn't!" Felix denied.

"Oh shut up, yes it was." Jisung attacked.

"Did he win you prize?" Jeongin asked.

"Yeah he won me this cat." Felix pulled out this massive plush cat out of nowhere.

"Did he pay for everything."

"Yeah which made me feel bad. I tried to pay for my own stuff but he wouldn't let me."

"Then it was definitely a date." Jeongin, Seungmin, and Jisung all said simultaneously.

Felix rolled his eyes. "You guys are ridiculous."

But something didn't add up to Jisung, "Wait I thought he was busy today."

"That's what I thought too but he told me he could make some time for me."

Everyone opened their mouth, "Felix you can't tell me that he doesn't have some type of feelings for you." Seungmin said.

"Yes I can because he doesn't."

Jisung sighed loudly, "I can't deal with your lack of brain cells." He rubbed his temples.

"Do you have any type of feelings towards Changbin?" Jeongin asked.

"I think I like him." Felix blurted out before he could stop himself.

Everyone's eyes widened and jaws dropped. Even Felix's eyes widened, he didn't expect himself to expose himself like that and he honestly didn't know what to do.

"I-I'm just kidding haha. That was a glitch. I meant to say I know I don't like him." Felix tried to cover up his truth but he knew it was too late.

"WHAT!"

"YOU'RE FINALLY ADMITTING TO IT!"

"OH MY GOD!"

Felix groaned at his loud friends. "Say it louder, why don't you? I'm pretty sure the whole country didn't hear you."

"What happened to, 'oh no I don't like him'?" Seungmin teased.

"It's just, he's so sweet. He actually seemed really interested in what I was talking about and he has a great personality. His smile is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But at the same time he's in a gang and I don't know how to feel about that. I'm in a dilemma." Felix admitted.

"Just give it some more time. Talk to him more and maybe you'll be able to get over the fact that he's in a gang. At least he doesn't hurt random people, he hurts bad people." Jisung tried to help him out.

"I mean I guess, but how do we know that for sure? Even if it is true, he's still a... you know." Felix didn't want to say it out loud.

"Stop thinking like that." Jeongin pouted.

"We told you you liked Changbin." Seungmin snorted.

"Wow you met him yesterday and you already like him." Jeongin teased.

"Shut up." Felix groaned.

"So what's going to happen at school tomorrow?" Seungmin asked causing Felix to give a confused expression.

"I mean are you guys gonna talk now? What's going to happen?"

"He's not going to school tomorrow. He said he has some gang stuff to do." Felix answered.

"Okay but what about Tuesday. What's going to happen then?"

Felix thought about all the scenarios that could happen. He never really thought about that until now. "I don't know." Felix told truthfully.

"Well I guess we'll find out soon." Jeongin said.

"You better not ditch us." Jisung threatened.

Felix laughed, "I would never ditch you guys and you know it."

"We would never let you ditch us." Seungmin scoffed.

The next day

Jisung's morning was the same as it always is. Brian came in his room and told him to get up before he's late. Jisung got ready and went down stairs and didn't eat breakfast which resulted in Jihyo scolding him for not eating. After that he walked out of his house and met up with Felix on the sidewalk.

"Wassup Felix." Jisung greeted.

"Hey Jisung." Felix smiled.

"Oh you're in a good mood." Jisung noticed.

"Yeah I feel really happy right now."

"Does a special someone have something to do with this?" Jisung teased.

Felix blushed, "No. Not at all."

Jisung scoffed, "Mhm. Okay."

They arrived at school and everyone's eyes were on them. Correction, everyone's eyes were on Felix. Seungmin and Jeongin walked up to the other two who were confused.

"Why is everyone staring at me." Felix whispered.

Seungmin and Jeongin looked at each other, not wanting to answer the question.

"What do you guys know that we don't." Jisung asked. Seungmin sighed and pulled them into an empty classroom.

"What is going on?" Felix asked again, by now he was getting kind of annoyed at the fact that they were stalling on telling him.

"Uh okay so everyone knows that you and Changbin hung out on Saturday and Sunday so a bunch of people are really really mad and jealous." Seungmin explained quickly.

"Ok well they were jealous before, all they did was glare at me. It's not like they're going to do anything more." Felix brushed off.

Jeongin and Seungmin looked at each other again. "Hyung." Jeongin said softly, "They know the gang isn't going to be at school today so they took their chance and they're spreading rumors around. They even went as far as trashing your locker."

Jisung was boiling, "What rumors?" He demanded.

Jeongin looked over at Felix cautiously. "They're saying that you were following him and that you payed him to hang out with you and other ridiculous rumors." Jeongin replied.

"That makes no sense! How would you be able to force a gang member to hang out with you?" Jisung fumed.

Felix stayed quiet. He didn't know what to think. All this information was too much for him. This was definitely worse than last week. People were actually spreading rumors about him and violating his property.

"I want to go to my locker." Felix finally said.

"I cleaned up most of the papers they stuck on your locker." Seungmin said softly, almost as if he was scared that Felix would break at any moment.

"Thanks Minnie." Felix got up and walked out the door to his locker with his friends close behind.

During the time when the four boys were in the classroom talking, more people had stuck notes on his locker. They also sprayed about two cans of silly string and threw three eggs at it.

On Felix's locker there were papers with messages that said, "Leave Changbin alone." "He's mine so fuck off" "You're so desperate it's sad." "He'll never want to hang out with you." "Why are you forcing yourself on Changbin." "Changbin's just playing with you. He would never like you." The worst one was probably the one that said, "He's probably only being nice to you so he can take you to their dungeon and kill you in the end." And many many more.

Felix's stood there and stared at the messages on his locker, he was reading them. Seungmin noticed this and he quickly grabbed all the messages on the locker and threw them away. It was too late though, Felix had read all of them and it hurt. His happy mood crumbled down to the depth of the trench and instead it was replaced with betrayal. He believed all the messages and felt betrayed by Changbin, it was silly of them to feel that way but he didn't know better.

"Felix don't listen to them, you know none of those messages are true. They're just trying to scare you away from Changbin." Jisung tried to convince him.

"Well they succeeded." Felix quietly said as he opened up his locker and put his stuff inside. Seungmin, Jisung, and Jeongin all looked confused at what Felix meant, not wanting to believe what they thought he meant.

"What do you mean?" Seungmin was scared of the answer.

"How do I know that what they're saying isn't true? I don't. I'm just not going to talk to Changbin anymore, I don't want to risk it." Felix made up his mind and the three friends all widened their eyes.

"Felix you can't be serious. They're all just a bunch of losers who are trying to get to you. Don't let them do that." Seungmin reasoned.

"No, but they're right. Changbin will never like me the way I like him. He can literally get anyone he wants so why would he settle with me. I was an idiot for even liking him. He probably does want to kill me."

Jisung, Seungmin, and Jeongin were in total shock at Felix's last sentence. They couldn't believe that he had said that when Changbin gave him every reason to believe that he wasn't out to hurt Felix.

"Are you listening to what you're saying right now? Do you know how crazy you sound? I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that last sentence. You know that's not true hyung. He would never do that to you and he's the one who asked you to hang out on Sunday." Jeongin said.

"Maybe he's just using me. Whatever it doesn't matter anyways. I don't want these rumors to get worse and I don't want to be treated worse by these jealous people. It's not worth it when Changbin doesn't even like me back. I can't deal with this. I'm just going to ignore him from now on. Hopefully people will see that I'm not after Changbin anymore and they'll stop hurting me. I'm not going to be Changbin's little toy or whatever." Felix slammed his locker. He looked at his friends and he was on the verge of tears. "So please, stop trying to convince me otherwise." He looked at each of them in the eye with begging eyes which were full of tears that were bound to fall down his face any second now.

Jisung, Seungmin, and Jeongin's heart broke for Felix. He was usually the happiest boy and seeing him almost crying hurt them. They wanted to beat every single person in this school but they knew they couldn't and they knew that Felix wouldn't want them to. The three friends agreed because that's the least they could do. Felix begged them to stop and they didn't want to make Felix even more sad by not listening to his pleads.

"Thank you." And with that they left to class.

When Seungmin, Felix and Jisung walked into class everyone started whispering. One person even went as far as tripping Felix while he was walking to his desk but the purple haired male's reflexes were fast knew enough to catch himself before he fell. Everyone laughed at Felix and high fived the person who tripped him.

Seungmin and Jisung glared at everyone while Felix just sighed and sat down at his desk.

The school day was hell for Felix and Jisung felt so useless. He couldn't help his friend. The most he could to was tell them to shut up and stop. He couldn't punch anyone because Felix would stop him.

Every time they walked down the hall people called Felix names under their breath but it could still be clearly heard. Lunch was the worst. Some people threw their food items at Felix while he was trying to eat his lunch. After the third food piece was thrown at him, Seungmin decided that they should eat on the rooftop.

Felix stayed very quiet throughout the whole day. He never got angry with the people who were being rude to him. He just ignored them. Or at least he tried. After a long day of school, it was finally over and Felix had never felt so happy to be going home. The four of them quickly packed their bags and rushed out of the school before more harm could be done towards Felix.

When they departed Felix told his friends, "Thank you guys for listening to me and for trying to help." He gave his first smile since the morning when he was in the happiest mood, but it was obvious that it was nowhere near a genuine smile.

"Of course Felix. We're here for you, please if you want to talk about it then don't hesitate to call us." Seungmin hugged Felix.

"Goodbye hyung don't think about it too much." Jeongin hugged Felix.

"Please get some rest. Get your mind off of it." Jisung whispered to Felix when he hugged him.

"Bye guys." Felix whispered as his voice cracked. He quickly waved and turned around to walk to his house, which was further away from everyone else's, before his friends could stop him and ask if he was ok. Once his face was out of his friends sight, he let his first tears, of many, stream down his face.
