GWC Main Building . West Wing

Jisung stopped walking through the hallway and scanned the surroundings. Once the bell for lunch break had sounded, he marched to find Felix in the 'focus' room. Unfortunately for Jisung, it was his first time in the West Wing because none of his classes were here. It was also his first time hearing of such room in a college.

{Because Maya just created it-}

With a sigh, he continued on his way, examining each room's label. After walking up another flight of stairs, Jisung was out of breath. He brushed his hair back and off his forehead before turning to the right to hunt for Felix.

It took countless attempts and finally a detour back downstairs to the first floor for Jisung to find the focus room right beside the staircase. How dumb.

Groaning, Jisung knocked on the door thrice before swinging it open to reveal a moderately small classroom with a few rows of desks. There sat a professor Jisung couldn't recognise, along with Felix, whose features melted into a happy grin upon seeing Jisung.

The professor gave Jisung a sweet smile, who stood awkwardly at the doorway. "Are you here for him?" She asked, gesturing towards Felix, who had two books opened before him with another pile sitting right next to it.

Jisung nodded. For a frozen moment, he admired Felix's ethereal appearance. The blond's fluffy hair was slightly curly. A massive yellow shirt adorned his fragile frame, with a red choker gracefully wrapped around his neck, the colour matching the blush on his soft cheeks. He held his gaze with Felix's, and if the professor hadn't cleared her throat, Jisung would've drooled.

The brunette gave an embarrassed smile. "Um.. When is he finished?"

"We've still got a lot to cover, darling. I'll let him have his lunch here." replied the teacher with an apologetic smile.

Jisung mouthed an 'Oh' and excused himself. Before walking out, he shot a wink at Felix, who immediately averted his gaze, flustered. Jisung closed the door behind him. A chain of curse words left his lips in an aggressive whisper. He had just spent half his lunch break looking for Felix and it was for nothing. At least, I saw him, right?

"Yo you look so beaten. And you devoured your food in like two seconds, you good?" asked Hyunjin, staring at Jisung with wide eyes.

The brunette sunk back into his seat. "I'm just Felix deprived.." He complained with a frown, earning a chuckle from both his friends. "I need to touch his hair.. And squish his cheeks. It's been forever.."

"You did that this morning, silly." Hyunjin teased, making Jisung furiously pout.

After a moment of choosing the right words, Seungmin spoke up, "Have you.. Met them? After what happened.."

Jisung arched a brow. "Who again? The bitches?"

"Yup, Changbin and.. You know who." replied Hyunjin.

Jisung shrugged. "Never saw the Changbin guy after that one time. And Minho.." He paused, the name rolling off his tongue with a slight sting. "Thankfully, no."

"It's probably because they use the other building more." Seungmin stated. "And you know how there's a bridge connecting both buildings in the rooftop? The entire place is their territory."

Jisung remained silent, before speaking up, "Never been there so whatever.. As long as they don't hurt Felix."

"You might think this is good," Hyunjin started, leaning forward to whisper with worry evident on his face. "That Felix hasn't been bullied since you broke up with Lee Know.. But it's scary. They're silent, and it's so not normal."

Seungmin nodded in agreement. "I hate Changbin. He has a messed up way of life. So it's hard to tell what he's up to when he's so silent. I saw him at the gates yesterday and he gave me this dirty smirk."

Hyunjin whipped his head to Seungmin. "He did? Are you okay, baby?"

Both Seungmin and Jisung chuckled. "Dude, it was just a smirk." Jisung pointed out.

Hyunjin groaned. "Still.. He's dangerous. You know, he's also called Felix's worst nightmare."

•

Felix's worst nightmare.

The words stuck with Jisung throughout the day, bringing in a subtle wave of apprehension with it.  He was yet to see what Changbin was capable of. But everything he'd heard about the bully was enough to make Jisung's stomach knot in revulsion.

When school hours came to an end, Jisung shrugged the negative thoughts off his mind as he swiftly opened his locker. Immediately catching his attention, there laid a pastel pink envelope. Subconsciously, a smile crept up Jisung's lips as he picked it up and flipped it over. In cute handwriting that Jisung recognized as Felix's, 'For Jisung' was neatly written at the bottom corner.

The brunette chuckled, wondering how Felix managed to slip the thick envelope through the locker door. As he looked back inside, there was another piece of paper. The sight made Jisung's insides twist with a tinge of worry and foreboding.

He turned the anonymous note over. And at that moment, a new form of discomfort sprouted in him, unsettling his mind.
