Minho watches Felix leave the cafeteria in worry. Felix usually isn't so cold or- or savage. He's always been such a sweetheart, so what's happening? Minho turns to Jisung who gives him a shrug. Minho sits back down in thought. Jisung scoots next to him, watching Chan, Hyunjin, and Changbin walk out of the cafeteria.
                          
"Whatcha thinking about hyung?"
                          
"I'm just worried for Felix. He normally isn't like this. Something's wrong with him."
                          
"I'm sure he's fine hyung, maybe he's just...uncomfortable...because of his english class."
                          
"Maybe but I don't think that's it. Haven't you noticed his change in attitude?" Minho glances between the door and the boy beside himself Jisung merely sighs and leans his head on Minho's shoulder, and locks their hands together. 
                          
"I have, but maybe he just needs some space. If you want I can come with you and talk to him about it."
                          
"No no, I don't want to impose on him. Maybe it's about his mom? I haven't heard any news of her from my mom but something might have happened." Minho says. "You know, with the lawsuit and everything."
                          
"Minho, his mom is in jail. What can she do? Nothings been surrounding her for years, the only thing we'd hear is when the trial is." Jisung reasons. 
                          
"You're right," Minho says as he looks down at his friend. "Maybe I'm just overthinking things." He sighs and lays his head on top of Jisung's.
                          
"You two look like a couple. Just date already." Jeongin says, bringing the two boys back into reality. They blush and quickly sit up,  looking away from each other.
                          
"W-what are you talking about Jeongin? Don't say such stupid things!" Minho says, covering his face. "We're strictly friends. Nothing more."
                          
"Y-yeah! Nothing...more." Jisung says quietly. In all honesty, his heart was broken. Jeongin knew that Jisung liked Minho, just about everyone did. So to hear that from his crush, he felt devastated. "I uhm- I have to go." Jisung quickly gets up and runs out of the cafeteria. Jeongin looks at him, feeling guilty.
                          
"What's wrong with him?" Seungmin says oblivious.
                          
"I'll check on him later," Jeongin says, trying to change the topic. "Let's get to class now. Minho hyung you have a free, right?"
                          
"Mhm." Minho says, his blush cooling down.
                          
"Right, well, me and Seungmin hyung will be going!" Jeongin grabs his boyfriends hand and runs out of the cafeteria, leaving Minho to sit there.

Felix regrets saying to Dahae that she needs to let him go to class. Not because he was being harsh or anything, but because he was embarrassed. He didn't have a class, both him and Minho have a free period and Felix hated that he made a mistake. It wasn't even that big of a deal and yet he kept chastising himself for saying that. So this is how Felix finds himself in Nayeon's  cafe, drinking coffee, and talking with Minho.
                          
"Felix."
                          
"That's my name." 
                          
Deciding to ignore the remark, Minho continues. "Uhm, so I originally was asking you here to talk about your new attitude. But now I'm confused."
