🍩Chapter 5🍩

                                    

                                          

It was an early Saturday morning and Minho and I were at the café baking. Clumsily I burned my hands on a hot pan after picking it up and I dropped it on the floor. 
"Oww! That hurts."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. It's just a burn."
He looks at my hands.
"It doesn't look fine. Come on."
He takes me to the break and gets a first aid kit. We sit across from each other then he applies the ointment. I flinch at the pain. 
"Don't move."
"Sorry." I flinched again. 
"You have no pain tolerance do you? Why do you say you're fine when you're obviously not?"
"So...you won't worry about me."
"That's dumb. Why wouldn't you want us to worry?"
I get nervous as the topic comes up but I really don't want to say anything about my appa. When I'm surrounded by friends here I want to forget about the bad things in my life on the outside. I had to lie. 
"I guess it's just who I am."
"I'll tell Chan about your condition. He'll tell you to stay home."
"No don't tell him. I'll be fine. Really. Please hyung? I can better by Monday."
'I'd rather be here than at home all day.'
"Fine. But go home now to recover."
"Are you sure?"
He looks at me with an unreadable expression.
"Ok. I'll go. You sure you don't want company?"
"Go home."
"Ok. See you later."
I left the café with bandages around my hands. I hid them in my pockets so no one can notice. I went inside the apartment and one step inside my foot stepped on a beer can which woke up my appa. 
'Darn.'
"Yah Felix. What are doing out so early in the morning?"
"I was working appa."
"So time much at work and you don't do shit here."
"I got paid yesterday though."
"Then go back outside and get groceries."
"Is there anything specific you need?"
"Do I have to tell you everything?! You know what I want. Why are you so stupid?"
"Of course. I'm sorry." I went back outside and headed to the grocery store. 
It was hard to grab and hold things with my injured hands but I didn't let it stop me. Enduring pain is something I'm good at. 
My appa got angry last time I didn't get enough beer for him so this time that's what I spend most of my money on. It was all I got so it didn't cost that much. 
Afterwards I carried the boxes home then put them in the fridge. My phone vibrates and I look to see what it was. I've been added to a chat with Jisung and Jeongin.
I went to my room to talk with them. 
Jeongin:
Ji what did you do 🤨
Jisung:
What? We're besties now right Felix???
Of course 
Jisung changed the chat name to 'the three musketeers'
Jeongin: 
That's funny😂
I like it 
Jisung: 
I'm smart 😌🥸
How was the baking with Minho hyung??
It well but then I burned my hands
Jeongin:
Gasp😰 
Are you ok?!?
Jisung: 
Are you hurt??
I'm fine don't worry 
Honest 
Jeongin: 
That's a relief 😚
Jisung:
At least Minho hyung was there for you 😞
Why are you sad?
Jeongin: 
He likes him and he's jelly😁😁
Jisung: 
I'm not jelly 
Don't worry Felix I have nothing against you 
I won't steal him away from you 
Jisung:
Thank you 
Jeongin: 
Just tell him already😒
Jisung:
I can't he's technically my boss too
Jeongin:
Then tell him now 
He's in his room 
Jisung: 
You know no one is allowed in there 
Wait. You guys live together?
Jeongin: 
Yea we all own the coffee shop technically but Chan takes care of the business mostly 
I didn't know that 
I feel like a fish out of water:((
Jisung:
Aww don't feel that way
You are one of us and we'll make sure that you're safe and happy 😇
Thank you 
I do feel happy with you all
Jisung: 
Would you like another day out??
I think for a moment to figure out what my appa will be doing. He'll either be asleep or out drinking. 
I can do tomorrow night 
Jeongin: 
Me too😉
Jisung: 
We all know you can Jeon
We'll meet at the park again
Ok;)
