Stray Kids Imagines

When he gets rejected by the popular girl pt.10: bonus - Felix

Who knew a year could pass so fast? Well, it's actually been a year and a half. Lots of things happened, and lots of things didn't. It'd probably take a while to explain, but let's just start from here to simplify it all.

You were no longer a high school student. You were a high school graduate. That's right, you successfully graduated with top marks and you had gotten into your dream university. And to your surprise, Hyunjin had the same idea in mind and joined you after studying his ass off for finals. It was unexpected, to say the least—getting into the same university with your best friend was just, exciting. After all, your friendship has only grown as time passed. He was always there by your side, helping you and taking care of you when you needed it. You couldn't be more thankful to him.

Yet, you also felt sorry for the selfless boy. He gave you everything and healed your broken heart when no one else was there that could do it, only for you to turn him down directly after a long time of debating whether you should be honest or not.

In other words, you rejected him.

It wasn't because he wasn't good enough, or that he didn't complete you as a certain other did... It was because no matter how bad you wanted to repay him and love him back sincerely, you just couldn't. Hyunjin was amazing in every way possible, but he was just a close friend. Maybe in dramas or books, the lead girl would end up with the second lead guy if there was a love triangle of some sort, but this was real life, and everything was completely real. You shouldn't feel indebted to him for his kindness, because that isn't what friendship or romance is about. You both needed to share the feelings naturally, of your own will. Nothing should pressure you into loving—that's just wrong. However, you've never been more guilty.

Even if he took the news well—with a soft smile on his face as always—you knew it still hurt. He told you it was perfectly okay, and that it was your choice that only you should make. It'd be a lie to say you didn't tear up at how understanding he was. Sometimes you wondered if he really was a human or an angel in disguise. Only he could make it seem possible for such heavenly beings to exist.

Lucky for him, he eventually found a new special someone in his life. Yup, Hyunjin got himself a beautiful and sweet girlfriend that matched his personality flawlessly. You were proud of him and extremely happy that he was able to move on with your friendship still intact. You've met the girl before. He introduced you a few months back and honestly, you could tell why he loved her. She was– how do you say it? How about... another graceful angel. They were a wonderful couple that deserved each other. You even envied them at a point where you wished you had a loved one. But you were fine staying single, for now at least.

Your life was looking great right now. A scholarship at a prestigious university, a friend you could always rely on, and the freedom to do many other things that people in relationships couldn't. It was all that you could've asked for. Though you felt like you were missing something.

Oh well, it'll be fine.

"What do you want to do? My roommate's not home so we can be as chaotic as we want," you sat down on your sofa, Hyunjin taking the spot next to you.

"Video games?" he suggested with shiny eyes.

"Sure."

45 minutes pass by in a blur of button smashing and fiddling of joysticks until Hyunjin groans, laying back in exhaustion.

"How do you always beat me? I swear you're hacking somehow."

"What can I say? I'm just that good," you laugh lightly. "Hey, d'ya mind getting my phone? I left it upstairs in my room and I want to order pizza for us tonight."
