Cherreads

Chapter 7 - COURAGE...

It was 8pm when Felix home from the restaurant, exhaustion written all over his features.

Seungmin who had been on the couch,stared at him before taking his eyes off him.

Felix though exhausted decided to speak to him about what Chan had told him earlier on

'Seungmin. 'He called.

Seungmin, doesn't care to maintain eye contact with him, 'What?.'

'We need to talk.'he frowned.

'I'm not in the mood.'Seungmin replied standing up.

'Channie-hyung told me everything already.' Felix stated crossing his arms.

'What did he tell you?.'

'Well,he told me you stopped coming to practice. '

Instead of giving an answer,he walked away.

'You can't keep running away from this conversation. ' Felix called out angrily.

He stormed up the stairs and into his room shutting the door behind him.

Hyunjin tilts his head, staring at him from where he was seated on the floor.

Felix's eyes met with his and he blushed. He had completely forgotten about him.

'Stop staring at me like that. 'He ordered.

'I can smell that you're angry and exhausted. ' Hyunjin earning a scoff from Felix.

'Anyway,now that you're are human,don't you have anywhere else to go?.'

The black-haired shook his head,before mumbling a,'no.'

Felix sighed,throwing himself on the bed. His face stuffed in his pillow. He was still getting used to the fact that the ferret was now a human like he was.

'So,you don't have anywhere else to go huh?.'

'I...I'll be good, I'll even do chores and stuff. Anything you want.' He stared at Felix with pleading eyes.

Felix's eyes met with his and he gave a faint smile, 'Your words not mine.'

'So,you'll let me stay?.' He asked keenly, and Felix nodded.

'As long as you are not an inconvenience to my brother and I. '

Hyunjin nodded, 'I'll be good. I won't cause any troubles.'

He would need clothes. Felix sighed,'Uhhh,you would need clothes.'

'Can't I just wear your clothes?.'Hyunjin asked.

'Dude,forget the fact I lent you my clothes to put on. You are way taller and muscular than I am.' Felix chuckled and Hyunjin blushed.

'I'm not that tall.' He stated and Felix sneered,'Yer sure.'he yawned exhausted.

'I'll sleep on the couch.'Hyunjin stood up.

'You can't just sleep on the couch,Seungmin will see you and what explanation will I give to him?.'Felix explained.

'Oh~so where do I sleep then?.'

'There is a blanket in my wardrobe. ' he said, tossing him a pillow,'Make yourself comfortable down there.' He pulled the duvet over him.' Hyunjin nodded,'okay,goodnight I guess.'

'G'night.' The blondie responded.

Hyunjin made himself comfortable on the floor staring at the ceiling. Happy that Felix had not brought up his earlier question about where he'd come from.

******************************

The next day,Felix is at the restaurant in the kitchen as usual when Jeongin walked in ranting,'Ugh...we need more hands here,but we don't have much money to hire workers yet.'

Felix quietly stared as he kept going on and on,'Felix what do you have to say about this?.'

Felix spoke,'I have someone, I can ask for help.'

'Really?.' Jeongin quiered and Felix napped,'He's a friend of mine.'

******************************

°☆| Later that night at home|☆°

'Well,if you want to keep staying with us, you'll have to work with us at the restaurant. 'Felix said staring at Hyunjin,' We need help.'

'But I can't cook.' Hyunjin clarified.

'You can help Changbin with taking orders.' Felix said pulling the pillow unto his laps.

Hyunjin nodded,'Alright.'

' Good we could agree on something.you'll come with me after lectures tomorrow. '

'Yes.'he agreed.

Felix smiled seeing him agree without making a fuss. Hyunjin tilts his head staring at him,' I can smell,you are happy.'

'Maybe,I am. By the way,I can't find my socks,keys,pens,phone charger,foam earplugs and room keys. Hyunjin?.' Felix rose and eyebrow.

Hyunjin stared away before pointing under the bed.

Felix rolled his eyes playfully, 'You'll always be a ferret despite being human.'

Hyunjin blushed fiddling with his fingers.

¤☆/The next day/☆¤

Felix walked into the restaurant with the black-haired beside him. Hyunjin stared around observing the new surrounding.

Jeongin's face light up at the sight of Hyunjin besides Felix,' Is he the friend you talked about?.'

Felix nodded,'Yer his name is Hyunjin. '

Changbin let out a low whistle,'Friend or boyfriend?.'

Jisung smirked,' Yer,is there anything you are not telling us?.'

Felix playfully glared,' Friend,not boyfriend just friends.'

Changbin and Jisung smirked,'if you say so.' They chorused.

Hyunjin stared quietly at Jisung keyholder. Felix notices him clearing his throat,' Well,Hyunjin. I'll take you show you around.' He pulled him away.

'They're cute.' Jeongin muttered with a smile.

That night, Jisung stood awkwardly outside the mart as he waited for Minho's shift to end.

After a while, Minho walked out. His eyes met with that of Jisung. He made no attempt to look away waiting to see what Jisung was up to.

Jisung blushed,'Get yourself together Jisung. ' he mumbled too himself taking a deep breathe before walking towards Minho. His legs wobbly.

'Erm...hi hyung. ' he spoke his face red.

'Any problem?.'Minho asked while Jisung fiddled with the hem of his t-shirt staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world,' Can I speak to you for a moment?.'

Minho chuckled, 'Ofcourse, I wouldn't stand here if I didn't want to listen to you. So go ahead Jisung. '

Jisung's legs almost gave out at the sound of his name on Minho's lips.'

'Do you wanna go out with me?.' Jisung spoke like his life depended on it.'

'Is that what you are being so shy about?.' Minho asked and Jisung's blush deepened.

Was Minho going to reject him?.' He thought,his heart racing

Minho ruffled his hair with a smile on his face.

Jisung froze as Minho's hand made contact with his hair. Minho cups his face,tilting to him. He smiled amused by the way Jisung's face was bright red.

'Jisung,I've seen the way you look at me anytime you come by the mart. Like I'm something special and sacred.' Minho revealed and Jisung's, eyes widened,so Minho was actually aware of his feelings all along?.

'Hyung, so you actually noticed me?.

Minho nodded,'Of course, I'll go out with you Jisung.'

Jisung's heart almost exploded when Minho accepted.

'Really you'll go out with me ?.' Jisung beamed exuberantly.

'It's a date then.' Minho nodded,brushing a strand of brown hair from Jisung's forehead.

'On saturday?.' Jisung asked and Minho nodded,'What...What time is convenient for you Hyung?.' Jisung quiered.

'Uhm...seven.' Minho answered

'See you on Saturday,hyung. ' Jisung said and left quickly.
