he didn't know how to react.
he didn't know how to react because he knew jisung was right.
and because he didn't feel the same way.
he only considers him as a friend.
or so he thought.
felix
what... do I do?
jisung
well do you feel the same way?
felix
no...
jisung
just don't tell him that you know, just keep it to yourself if you want to keep your friendship
felix
yeah but I'm gonna feel weird around him now
jisung
it'll be okay, just treat him like you've been
felix
I don't understand why he likes me though
jisung
I'm calling you and explaining everything
felix's phone rings and he picks up the call from jisung.
"you're so dumb felix"
"shut up"
"you sticking up for him, that's what made him fall for you duh! you've been nothing but nice to him ever since you got here"
"oh..."
"yeah..."
"I don't know what to do now... I just don't want to hurt him"
"you won't hurt him if you don't tell him"
"I know but I feel like if I don't tell him it'll be bad"
"well actually... either way you would be hurting him anyways... by not telling him he's still keeping the secret from you and he'll still have the crush on you... by telling him you'll end up rejecting him"
"gee thanks for the advice"
"whatever, gotta go"
"okay"
they both hang up and felix lets out a loud sigh.
"come on honey we're waiting" felix's mom opens his door while he's sitting on his bed in his thoughts.
"felix" he still doesn't respond.
"felix!" she walks closer to him and shakes him, he finally snaps out of it.
"oh sorry..."
"you okay?" felix just nods.
"you're not" she crosses her arms. "I know when somethings up with you, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, it's just..." he looks down and sighs.
"you can tell me, I hope you know that you can come to me for anything right?" she sits next to him on the bed.
"well... I just found out someone likes me"
"really? go for it then! what's her name?"
"mom..."
"hm?"
"it's... a guy"
"oh..."
"it's the friend I made on my first day... I just don't know what to do because I mean he's my friend and I don't want to hurt him by rejecting him but I'll also feel bad for not telling him that I know"
"well honey... I think that you should tell him that you know. the most important thing about a friendship is that you tell each other everything"
"I don't want to hurt him..."
"you need to be honest with him"
"I know" he looks down.
"just tell him you know, and see where it goes" she puts her hand on his lap, and he nods. "let's postpone tonight, taeyoon will understand"
"thanks mom"
she smiles and gets up to leave the room.
felix grabs his phone and he goes to chan's contact to call him.
"hello?"
"chan..."
"hm?"
"I... I..." he sighs and then he finally decides to just let it out
"what is it?"
"I know that you like me"
it was silence coming from the other line, felix was waiting for chan to answer but he didn't.
"and... I'm sorry... you know that I'm not gay..."
there was still silence, felix had a feeling that chan was upset hence the silence coming from his line.
it was silence between the both of them as felix didn't know what else to say next.
"that's... that's fine... see you monday" he hangs up just like that, and felix sighs because he knew that chan was upset now.
now he had to wait until monday to see if their friendship would be jeopardized.
