"You're lying, right?" Hyunjin questioned, disbelief painted all over his features. "You seriously never met Changbin after that one day?"

Jisung stopped walking, causing the taller boy to stop as well. He sighed. "Is that bad? I think it's good. No one has touched Felix, and his bruises are finally disappearing. My baby is safe."

Hyunjin chuckled. "Your baby- You're not even hiding that you're so whipped."

Arching his brows, Jisung responded with a shrug, totally oblivious to the soft layer of blush across his cheeks. As he realized they were right by the washroom, Jisung remembered something. It was the place he found Felix beaten up.

"You told me before to not use this washroom right?" asked Jisung, gesturing towards the door behind Hyunjin, who took a quick glance at it.

The ravenette seemed to hesitate for a while. He fumbled, unsure of how to phrase his words. "Well- that was before.. You know.. They used to bully Felix here sometimes."

Jisung blinked, processing the last bits before scoffing. "I hate how nobody stood up for him."

"It's because Changbin-"

"Who is he anyway?" Jisung frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. He was tired of hearing the same name, like everybody lived under Changbin's rule.
"Who is he to take control of Felix's life, like he owns him? It's not like he can't be fought against. Kick him in the middle and the dude is as good as gone."

Hyunjin sighed, not wanting to argue with his friend. "I understand.. And I admit I was wrong for not helping Felix.. Now let's get going, shall we?"

.

Bidding goodbye to his friend who reunited with Seungmin for another class, Jisung dragged his feet to the row of lockers to grab his books for chemistry.

As he threw the metal door open, part of him sank with apprehension upon seeing that a folded note laid over the stack of books. He unfolded it, scanning the words once before slipping it into his pocket. And maybe, Jisung regretted doing so because the letters were immediately imprinted onto his mind.

4/ i love how felix is so helpless when cornered. he won't shout for help. he won't fight back. he'd be so awfully terrified of me. ah, how cute..

say, should i break him for you to see? (THAT)

On his short walk, the words replayed in his head, plaguing and abusing his mind. The choice of wordings set a trigger off in Jisung, flooding his mind with unanswered questions.

'He won't shout for help.'

Won't? Or can't?

Jisung chewed on his lips, struggling to focus on where he was walking. Luckily, the boy arrived at his chemistry class without bumping into a wall or tripping over air.

Upon entering the class packed with toxic stares, Jisung suddenly realized he hated the attention. He scrunched up his nose, not bothering to hide his discontent as he made a beeline for the back row.

When Jisung's gaze caught Felix's, he slowed down, allowing himself to absorb the sight of Felix dressed in denim overalls. The blond froze, a visible blush spreading over his freckled cheeks. With a flustered smile, he shrunk back and forced his attention to the book in front of him. The way the sun shone splinters of golden light through the massive windows, reflecting against Felix's silk skin seemed ethereal.

Jisung settled next to the boy, still not taking his eyes off. Before he could realise it, his heart felt at ease momentarily, a smile forming on his lips.

"You're beautiful."

The words left Jisung's own lips before he could even process it. He cleared his throat, quickly turning his attention to the professor that just entered. Dear god, why am I so flustered today?

Then, like his little happy moment was meant to be crushed, the words from the anonymous note flooded right into his thoughts again. Jisung's eyebrows knitted into a troubled frown, not a word of Mr. Wonpil's lecture reaching his ears.

'Should I break him for you to see?'

Jisung inhaled, attempting to push the disturbing thoughts away. But no matter how hard he tried, the words wouldn't leave him alone. He could sense Felix's worried eyes on him, so the brunette glanced to his side, giving Felix a weak smile.

And for an ephemeral moment, they stayed that way, simply looking into each other's eyes.

Jisung leaned closer so the teacher wouldn't catch him whisper, Felix subconsciously copying his actions and leaning in too. "Lix, I wanna ask you something."

The blond gave a quick nod.

"Will your family.. Let you move out?"

After pondering for some time, Felix grabbed his pencil, writing a response on his book while Jisung watched expectantly. He then slid it towards the brunette.

they would but they don't
want lix to live alone :c

"Then move in with me."

Felix blinked, taken aback, with slightly reddened cheeks. He then melted into a very shy smile, shrinking away from Jisung. The adorable sight made Jisung chuckle, before immediately slapping a hand over his mouth.

Felix reached out and scribbled a quick response, which read,

lix will ask mum and
tell you <3

"Alright baby." muttered Jisung, diverting his gaze to the front of the room. He hoped so desperately that at least now, he would be able to keep the precious boy safe.

.

Hand in hand, Jisung walked with Felix towards the latter's locker through the crowded hallway. By now, they weren't surprised to see most students had stopped whatever they were doing just to scan both boys' moves, whispering to one another.

Jisung came to an abrupt stop. Not noticing this, the blond continued walking a few steps forward, before stumbling back when Jisung tightened his grasp on the boy's hand.

"Felix."

Through the almost quiet hallway, Jisung's voice was loud and clear. It cut right through the soft gossips.

He lifted Felix's small hand, bringing it closer to his face. Ignoring the questioning stares, Jisung placed a gentle kiss on Felix's hand, then locked eyes with the flustered boy, whose cheeks were flushed pink.

"You trust me, yeah?"

When the blond nodded shyly, his fluffy hair bouncing to the movement, Jisung felt relief spread through him. And right then, he swore to protect Felix no matter what.
