Chapter fourty-two

It had become Friday sooner than the boys would've thought. The HanLee household, which was what the house's personal nickname-addicted named it, was now filled with three boys running around to get ready.

They've been getting ready since they got out of school and only paused to eat the sushi they ordered and continued afterwards. 

It had become 9 p.m. and all three of the boys were finally content with their looks. Not like they even need that much time to get ready.

Felix dressed casually but outgoing with a pirate T-shirt, a shirt and a woollen vest on top of a blue-coloured pair of jeans. 

To tip off his look he chooses three necklaces, a ring and earrings. 

With some wax, he put his hair in a messy hairstyle. His hair was naturally brown, but he chose to die blonde because it matched his fur better.

For make-up, he smeared a little bit of lipstick on his already pink lips.

Jisung on the other side chose a far less casual outfit.

On top of his favourite pair of black cargo pants, he wore a red turtle neck alongside a red-with-black blazer. 

The only jewellery he wore were a silver necklace and a pair of earrings.

He put on a bit of eyeshadow as only make-up. 

But it's safe to say Minho wore the most remarkable clothing

His outfit consisted of a black, tight, T-shirt and also a black pair of cargo pants. But this isn't the remarkable part of his outfit. 

He put four pants chains on his pants. Had three rings on, a silver necklace, two black bracelets and a black bracelet-kind-of-thing around his upper arm which's name Felix didn't even know. 

And a leather body harness. Black, of course.

His hair was parted in the middle and as makeup, he wore eyeliner.

After half an hour at Jake's party, a boy was pinned against the wall and his face was eaten.

It took the two best friends a split second to recognise them.

"Wait...Sunghoon and Jake are?" Jisung asks withholding, unsure. 

"Are what?"

"The m-word?" It took Felix a second to understand what Jisung meant and he laughed.

"Yeah, Ji, they are the m-word. I thought you would've known already, though?"

"How could I?"

"Ehm...we were literally together last summer? Before the whole...you-know-what happened."

"I thought it was a fling!" Jisung whisper-yells in defence.

"Nah bro, they full-on dating. How do you not know? I think no one explicitly told you because it was already so obvious."

"But," Jisung stops talking. 

"But what?" Felix questions.

"But how can Sunghoon trust him?"

"Jake may have been a so-called fuck boy in our high school days," Felix sighs, "He's a werewolf...Aren't dogs known to be the most loyal?"

"I think they-we are, but..." Jisung's voice trails off toward the end of the sentence, making it hard to hear.

"What did you say, Ji?"

"But he let Minho give him a lap dance while he had a boyfriend," Jisung mutters.

"But Minho gave him one while he..." Felix halts talking mid-sentence.

"While he what?" Jisung asks, looking puzzled.

"While he..." Felix thinks for a second and adds, "While he...knew...Jake...and Sunghoon...are dating....? And he can't not trust him anyway, you live resolves around your mate. It's not like they have any other choice than to trust and love each other to the fullest."

Jisung looked shocked, "Ok ok, fair enough Mister A. But Minho knew? Really? How, though."

"Jeongin's friends with Sunghoon, so I think Minho too."

"Wait, how do you know that?"

"I have P.E. with Jeongin. He's really kind, I get why everyone loves him so much."

"He really is," Jisung agrees without needing time to think over his answer.

"No, but yeah, it was Jeongin who told me they were friends. It's not like Minho's the talking kind," Felix says, rolling his eyes.

  Jisung laughs at that, "Fair enough. But he's warmed up towards us, isn't he?"

"Yeah, I think he is." I wonder exactly how hot things have gotten, though...Ew, wait never mind. I don't wanna know that much.

"You don't wanna know how much?" Jisung asks Felix.

"What?" 

"You said you don't want to know that much. Don't want to know how much?"

Shit, how do I mess up the same way again and again? "Nothing. Never mind."

Jisung looks Felix up and down suspiciously and scoffs, "Hmmm, ok ok. But you owe me one," he says, smiling.

Felix sighs with relief, Jisung normally hammers on about subjects he doesn't get until he understands. "Ok, Imma get some. Be right back."

"Yeah, you better."

Felix leaves Jisung's side to get something to drink in the garden. While walking he once again thinks about his bestie and roommate. He would've been lying if he'd said he hadn't thought about them at least a dozen times since his visit to Ms. Archwood this Monday.

Of course, things have gotten heated up. That explains the overwhelming scent of Jisung's I sometimes get! Minho'd always been near then. How have I never seen the obvious, 

I've even made jokes about it! 

I may suck at this whole alpha-thingy, but I have always been good at the best-friend-thingy. I would even know about his crushes before he did.

He told me about the kiss. And after that nothing more. I thought that was all that happened.

Now the boy has probably lost his fucking virginity for hell's sake and I don't even know about it. Dammit.

It's been exactly two weeks since the full moon, he found his mate already two weeks and hasn't even tried to tell me. Why in Hades' name can he be this scared of telling me something? That's so not-Jisung.

Felix was getting all worked up about something that was not even his business when he sensed Jisung again. I get that he followed me outside, it's too loud inside.

But there was some kind of twist in Jisung's scent. It smelled...well...twisted. 

"Felix?" Of course...

"Hey, Minho. Liking the party?"

"So far so good," It doesn't really look like all was good.

"Minho?"

"Mhm," the older says looking over his shoulder.

"Are you sure everything's good?"

"Can you come with me for a sec?" Minho hastily asks while he already yanks Felix by his arm with him, a little deeper into the garden and halts near the drinking table.
