Chan hadn't noticed another person enter the music room. He was too occupied with his thoughts, contemplating on whether or not he should give in to the urge to start an unhealthy habit. Smoking. He stood by the window while staring into the morning sky he hadn't seen in over a week. He jolted, snapping back to reality, when the brand new pack of cigarettes was snatched out of his hands. Chan turned on his feet to meet his best friend's gaze, while an enormous wave of conflicted feelings came crashing down.

"Sorry I'm late.." Minho mumbled, firmly gripping the pack of cigarettes in his hands that he had no intention of returning.

"Minho... Why are YOU sorry? I'm sorry," Chan breathed out, eyes searching Minho's, "I'm sorry for fucking up." Chan's voice was strained, so full of all the guilt and pain he had caused himself.

Catching him off guard, Minho tackled Chan into a hug, causing both of them to lose balance. Next thing he knew, Chan had crashed to the floor on his butt. But that didn't discourage Minho from hugging him, he still had his arms wrapped around his best friend.

"I missed you so much."

"I missed you way more, Min." Chan chuckled, returning the embrace warmly.

After some minutes of catching up with each other while seated on the floor, Chan had now trailed off to talks of his roommate.

"What do you mean he's gone?" Minho questioned after silently listening to his best friend's troubles.

"I think I lost him.. And it makes my heart hurt in a weird way."

"Chan," Minho gulped, reaching out to caress Chan's cheek, "You're crying.."

Chan hadn't realised warm streams of tears ran down his eyes. Once he felt Minho wipe them away with his thumb, he touched his cheeks in surprise.

Chan let out a hopeless chuckle, rubbing his eyes with the bottom of his palms.

"Promise me," Minho spoke up, breaking the painful silence, "Promise me you won't let your past with Changbin to hold you down. If you love Felix, you love him and that's that. Don't run away, Chan.." Minho cleared his throat to conceal the slight tremble in his voice. "It hurts me to see you this way so.. Promise me, then I'll find a way to make things okay.. You won't lose Felix."

Chan thought for a while, "How will you find a way..?"

Minho forced a laugh, more so to brush off the ache in his heart.

"Somehow. Anything to keep you happy, Chan."
