24

Three whole days had passed since the boys last saw each other.

It felt as if the other had vanished into the void, leaving a palpable emptiness in their existence.

Also, Sunno gave up from trying to win Felix's attention again

<3

Fe: Fuck this!

Ji: Woah woah, sunshine, calm down. You're gonna hurt someone because of that game.

Fe: I—

Felix took a deep breath, attempting to steady himself, then forced a smile towards his friend.

Fe: Genshin doesn’t have anything to do with how I’m feeling right now.

He smiled sadly again and returned to his game, trying to lose himself in the familiar world of Teyvat.

<3

Felix's internal conflict simmered beneath his calm exterior.

Despite his best efforts to mask his turmoil with a smile, Jisung, ever perceptive, sensed something was off.

He decided to let it slide for now, knowing Felix would open up when he was ready.

As they continued their conversation while playing, Felix couldn’t shake the feeling of longing for Hyunjin's presence..not like they had many interactions..but..still..

He wondered when they would see each other again, but it didn’t matter.

It couldn’t matter because it would never happen. The only thing that seemed certain was that one of them would eventually...

The ringing sound of Felix's phone interrupted his dark thoughts.

Fe: Fuck.

Ji: You okay?

Fe: Yeah.

Felix responded before taking the call and retreating to another room to talk in peace.

Fe: Yes?

...

Fe: I know.

...

Fe: It’s not my fault!

...

Felix took a deep breath. This conversation had just started, yet it was already making his blood boil.

Fe: I will, just give me a moment.

...

Fe: I know! I know! But I promise, this is his last day.

<3

After the call ended, Felix leaned against the wall, trying to collect himself.

His mind was a storm of conflicting emotions, and he struggled to find solid ground.

With a heavy sigh, he returned to the room where Jisung waited, plastering on a smile that felt more forced than ever.

Jisung glanced up, concern etched into his features.

Ji: Everything alright?

Felix nodded, though the lie tasted bitter on his tongue.

Fe: Yeah, just some stuff to take care of.

Jisung didn’t push, sensing Felix's need for space. Instead, he offered a supportive nod.

Ji: You know I’m here if you need to talk, right?

Felix managed a small, grateful smile.

Fe: Thanks, Jisung. I appreciate it.

As they resumed their game, Felix's thoughts drifted back to Hyunjin.
