"How are you feeling about this weekend?"

   "Tired, all the practice and stuff is always tiring," Felix muttered.

   "Remember to just do your best and have fun," Soyeon said.

   Felix hummed.

  "How about we go to the diner tomorrow? Get your mind off things. A lot of the group miss you coming around,"

   "I love you, but I already see Hyunjin at school and in dance, I don't want to see him at the diner too," Felix said.

   "You guys have known each other 12 years why aren't you friends or something of the sort?"

   "We were never allowed that option growing up. Yes, we've been on the same competition team for about twelve years, but we were never given the ability to be friends. We were always told that we were each other's enemies and the constant pitting us against each other didn't help.

   I remember how when I was six I didn't know how to tie my shoes and at the time I was the youngest, Chan was hounding me telling me I need to learn to tie my shoes. But you know I was six, so Hyunjin tied my shoes for me. Later that day Hyunjin and I both got yelled at by our teacher, we weren't allowed to talk to each other,"

    "You were robbed of a friendship which isn't fair," Soyeon muttered messing with Felix's hair.

    Felix shrugged, "It's not like he and I were best friends," he said.

   "But don't you ever wonder what it would be like if you were friends?"

  Did he ever wonder?

-

    "Long time, no see, Kitty cat," Yuqi said, hugging the younger.

  "Yeah, it has been a few. How are you guys?" Felix asked.

    "We are good, it is a little weird not having Soyeon around as often, but we get it, she's in love," Shuhua said.

    "By the way you guys look darling together," Soojin said as she touched up her red lipstick.

   "It is almost sickening how cute you guys look together," Miyeon added.

    "Hey, you know, how about we go in and like get food," Yuqi suggested.

    "Yes, food would be great," Soyeon agreed.

    "Minnie isn't here yet though," Felix said.

  "She is. She's inside with Hyunjin, Yeji, Minjeong, Yeonjun, Chan, and Soobin," Shuhua said.

   Felix bit his lip and nodded.

The group walked in easily spotting everyone else in the back corner being a little too rowdy.

   "Damn, I though Chan would keep them in check..." Miyeon said.

   "He may be the oldest there, but he is still a child by heart," Soojin said.

   The six walked up to the table.

   "Ay, how is my ballerina? You haven't been around in a while," Yeonjun said once he saw Felix.

   "I'm good. Just been busy," Felix said.

  "Yeah, we have a competition this weekend, he's been practicing hard," Chan said.

  "We? You aren't going," Hyunjin said.

  "I'm still part of the team," Chan huffed.

    "No bickering," Miyeon said.
 
   "So, you have a competition this weekend, how do you think it is going to go?" Winter asked.

   "Well as long as all the lifts are done good, hopefully well," Felix said with a small laugh.

  "That was pointed," Hyunjin muttered.

  "Well, you nearly dropped me during practice,"

   "Maybe, if you did your turns correctly I wouldn't almost drop you,"

    "I am supposed to do four turns, you were too close causing me to do only three. Maybe learn where you are supposed to be, then we can talk about my turns, which by the way are perfectly fine," Felix stated.

   "Maybe this was why you weren't the favourite you always had something to whine about," Hyunjin said.

  Yeji and Chan's eyes widened.

   Hyunjin's mouth fell open a little when he saw the tell-tale signs of the younger beginning to cry.

  The way his cheeks were beginning to turn red like cherries. The way his lips pressed together a little too tightly.

  "Baby, you want to come order something with me?" Soyeon asked the younger suddenly.

    Felix blinked a couple times and nodded.

   The two got up and left the table, as soon as they were out of sight Yeji flicked Hyunjin's forehead.

  "What the fuck, dude?" Hyunjin huffed.

  "Watch your damn mouth. He never brings that crap up, neither should you, especially not like that," Yeji stated.

   Hyunjin rolled his eyes and rubbed his forehead.

   His eyes caught the couple in line.

   The two hugging. Soyeon's head resting right above Felix's heartbeat as she spoke.

  Hyunjin bit his lip and looked at his hands.

   Why did he say that?
