Felix : Yoona's best freind, lives in town. And future boyfriend of Hyunjin.

      "When I first saw him, I was reminded of my dreams. He was standing there with his not so cool dressing style which I was used to call insane, not in any appreciating manner. "

        The one, Hwang Hyunjin was lost in thoughts seeing his friend running across the street screaming someone's name.

        "Felix?" She uttered in low voice, her eyes trying to catch that little figure standing on other side of road. He was talking to her when he saw her replying a word he don't know!

         "Feliz?" He asked. But as if his voice won't reach her, as if he don't longer exist there anymore. She made her way just screeming out a word, "Felix" .

         He wanted to follow her but at a sudden moment as if, he was froze there. He saw her hugging a certain person and he hugging her back with same love, as it was expected.

        "Felix?" He uttered. And as if he was under a spell he kept looking at them. He get off those gaze only when his best freind shook him with force.

       "What are you staring at?" Seungmin asked.

       Hyunjin saw, they two already left.

       A boy with blue short jeans with bucket hat. And a multicolored hoodie. Nothing special right? But by what Hyunjin was attracted, and mesmerised was....

       The eyes those glitteres with dim sunlight of evenings. The blonde hairs those were little long, maybe they were white and because of sunlight they Looked like it. And, the stars below his eyes.

       It wasn't that Hyunjin never saw person with freckles. But he was indeed fan of them. When first he found what freckles were he wanted to have them. But as his mother told, that really isn't a great body feature to have.

       Hyunjin who almost had his feed filled with freckles models for a year. And who was starting to lose that interest, found a boy with freckle.

        It wasn't that he only loved freckles...! Any person could have them, but it was because that person had the best freckles he had ever seen. He wanted to have a better look at his face. Wanted to know how they felt when touched. Of course it won't be different. But you won't understand unless you have been crazy about something. To say, your favourite mole of Hyunjin's left eye. Right? It isnt different it's just a body feature yet, the urge to touch.

        It isn't about the features then, it's just that person becomes your obsession. When you unknowingly fall for them. That's what was happening with Hyunjin. But he just shook it of saying, he loves the freckles.

        Hyunjin went home, texting Yoona. He can't ask direct yes! He had to make his way. He simply texted "Hi" but no reply came.

       Brushing his hairs in irritation and making hot faces as he always makes when he is confused he sat there.

       What about all the certain uncertainty he is feeling.

      Night passed yet no reply received. Next day he went to school in hope to ask her directly. If the freckles wasn't the part he was thinking, he might have fallen for Yoona. What? It's not right! Right?

      But the way he felt his heart getting heavy, thinking about that hug, it was bothering him.

      That wasn't the case. Yoona didn't came to school that day. Nor her reply. The next day of school yet nothing. And when the third day she came, his heartbeat was beating insane.

     "Finally I can I ask her about him!"

     She was happy. And her happiness was visible. Hyunjin went to her. As every normal day. The talks began. She was free to talk. And so was he.

     Breaking all the plans he had planned on asking (the dialogues he rewrote for several times), he spoke,

     "Who was he?" He asked. It wasn't enough that he even asked another question, "Your boyfriend?"

     "STFU Hwang Hyunjin! What if she thinks I like her!" He stopped looking at her. And as he thought she looked at him with same eyes. Is it that wierd to ask a girl if the person is her boyfriend. Ya Hwang Hyunjin you done for.

     "No I mean, you cried seeing him. And so I was just curious!" He tried to shrug it off.

     Yoona who was looking at with confusion, dropped her scary look and laughed.

     "No~!" The way her voice sounds too cute when she talks like whining.

    "He was my school best freind!" She gestured him to sit taking a chair. And he too wanting to know more about, sat in front of her.

     With those curious eyes he kept listening to her. And she explaining unnecessary details about it. The end of the class and the conversation began, the start of recess the conversation began.

      The whole day Yoona kept talking about how beautiful the person Felix was. Beautiful and of course how sweet heart.

      Hyunjin was getting attracted to that person more than he thought of. The first question he asked about him was, "He have freckles right?"

      Yoona nodded. And the excitement was shown with that. Hyunjin was adoring how Yoona talked about Felix. So there was no confusion of him being in love with her.

      The whole day yet the conversation seemed to have no ends. Hyunjin was wanting more and more of those cute stories they had.

       According to what Yoona told, she used to be always reserved and the only one who tried to break into her boundary was Felix. It was easy for him cause he then used to shine like pearl. And anyone would be fool who don't like sparkling things.

       The baby Felix as Yoona said was just like that sparkling Felix. When Yoona first saw him, she thought angel came to meet her. He isn't blonde he colours them. Cause that gives him more angelic look.

       He first who seemed to be an angle, didn't had those blonde hairs. As Yoona was explaining Hyunjin kept imagining him. Yoona even showed the baby pics of Felix she had.

      Hyunjin was enjoying these talks more than anything. And end when Yoona still had alot to talk. Hyunjin first hesitated but then he finally asked,

      "You told him about me?"

      "Ah, no! Why?" Yoona looked at him again. His questions sometimes sounds unnecessary. But it's what they always talk.

      "Ah no! I just was wishing to be friends with him! Can I meet him?" He asked

      "Aaa!" Yoona gave sad look, "he left in early morning!" She stopped.

      "But If you....." She was about to speak when Hyunjin threw out his words first.

      "Can you share his contact number. I will just try talking to him now?" He asked.

       Yoona was confused. She knew, even if Hyunjin acts like extrovets, how introvert he is! Talking to someone unknown? He first talked to her was an accident. But finding her more scared (introver) than him. He helped her to regain her confidence. And in talks Yoona to did started relying on him.

       But why he was so interested about Felix so much! She had doubts. The Hyunjin who really don't like talking about anyone else unless it's necessary, was asking about a person he don't know. And now even he wants to talk to Felix. Will he be able to pull off the talks?

       "Hyunjin-ah!" Said she in confusion.

       "Ah no! It's just he sounds so cool. and I badly wants him to be my friend!" He said with his same joyful voice. And internally fighting his urge saying why why why! Why just why Hwang Hyunjin. Why.

        "Um! Right!" Exclaimed Yoona with excitement.

        "He really is best." Yoona looked at him.

        "You know Hyunjin, I hate the most when someone wants to take him from me!" Somehow trying to make it sound in worry, "so if I let you talk to him, you won't steal my best friend? Will ya?" She asked looking at him.

         "Why would I?" Smirked Hyunjin. "After all you are my best friend too! Best friend's best friend buddies!" He laughed.

          "You called me best friend?" She grinned.

          "Aaaa~!" He screamed. "Skip that part. I ain't gonna call you that!"

          Yoona who knew Hyunjin don't get close to other and specially he don't call best friend anyone than Seungmin, called her best friend!

        They sure was over a month getting close as they shared same brain cell. Yoona being always in boys knew those matter of facts which made Hyunjin too talk to her.

       They were that close that if anyone would see them first time they will surely say that, they are couples. But these two had nothing but that last remaining half, no less that half brain cell!

        Yoona told him she will share tomorrow if Felix wants to or not to have talks right now. It's depends on people you can't really just call a certain person and say oh hi I'm your friend's friend, I wanted to call you! I love freckles would you let me touch them. No! This don't work. And Dumb Hyunjin knows this. More than anyone that how creep this sounds.

        He went home knowing his name now. And the pictures of him Yoona showed. He went through Yoona's SNS. How dumb this girl is to have this many friends online. He finally found his ID. lee_Felix . The name itself seems like side eyeing me with rude expression. Ah how I'm gonna talk to him.

        Next day Yoona sent him his contact and told him that she already talked about him. Telling him that he is her college best friend making him regret what he said yesterday.

        Hyunjin kept hovering his finger over that contact number he saved. Freckled boy. The whole day he was thinking how to approach him. And he even prepared dialogue for himself. Trying between every possible answer in reply he could give.

         Gosh Hyunjin you are such an overthinker.

        In evening he went to his room closed the door. Prayed for safety and finally called on that number. The number seemed busy. He waited. And called again in one minute countdown.

        "Hello!" Just a ring and then a sudden deep voice in his ear. He shook his head making an eight in air. He blinked his eyes. Looking left and there about what to speak. He was preparing for talking with Felix. who picked the call.

        "Hello!" His voice cracked. He cleared his throat. "Hello, Lee Felix's number is this, right?" He asked.

         "Yes!" Knowing whose number is this, Felix didn't bothered to ask who the person is talking to him.

         "Can I talk to him?" Hyunjin asked. Felix chuckled. Knowing that might be his reaction. Of course he knew the stupid friend of Yoona about whom she talked for whole two days. He was first jealous of him,  that her reserved Yoona, who he kept pestering about talk to everyone was now talking to that boy. And was almost Freind with whole class. That boy was sure making her comfortable around everyone.

         "Hello?" Hyunjin asked again finding no one replying.

         "Yes yes! I'm Lee Felix!" That deep voice sounded more deep when he spoke his own name.

        Hyunjin gulped as he didn't believed. He was confused what to do! Cut the call? Crap that won't be good. Ask him about it! Is that person joking. He saw him right? That day! He was it. No sure the person was someone else.

        "Ah sorry! Wrong number!" Said Hyunjin and cut the call immediately.

        Felix was confused how, and why he cut the call. He called and asked Yoona if the number was wrong. Forgetting the fact that the person said it was Lee Felix.

        He again dialed the number and same person answered the call.

        "Hello, Lee Felix!" Hyunjin somehow gathered courage to speak. If he wasn't the person he saw that day, it will feel so hurting if he talks to Yoona and him breaking their hearts.

         "Oh hellow!" Replied Felix dramatically.

         "I'm Hwang Hyunjin! Seoyoon's Freind!" He replied remembering the SNS id and the photos, it was indeed the same person he saw. There was no mistake in that.

          "Yes , she told me about you. I was waiting for your call!" Keeping aside Yongbok's extrovert personality, it was jealousy which made him say this.

          Waiting for my call? Hyunjin felt the shiver that travelled from his head to toe.

          Depite being bothered by his voice Hyunjin somehow kept talking. The first call was awkward. Hyunjin telling him his stories that Yoona told him. Not about 15 minutes the phone continued.

         "Well, my team is ready so I'm gonna play for some time. Nice talking to you, Hyunjin!" Said Felix.

         "Oh sure!" Hyunjin who had so many doubts, not wanting to cut the call said.

        "Which game is it?" He asked.

        "SKZooVERSE" he told. "Ok then!" He said, not knowing why but he expected something in return.

         "Um" replied Hyunjin and cut the call.

        "Um? What is um?" Felix was confused.

        Hyunjin checked online about game, watch few videos over it, and next day! Yeah he bought the software, that is too early in morning! Nothing that Hwang can't do.

        In evening he tried calling him. Again the call was busy. and soon here he got called.

       "Yeah!" The person said. Not even hello.

       "Hi Felix!" Said Hyunjin.

       "Hi!"

       "Can you teach me how to play, I bought the game!" Said Hyunjin scratching his neçk.

       "You already had?" Asked Felix getting amazed.

      "No, I bought it today!" Replied Felix.

      "And you got it in one day?" He exclaimed. "Woah, how rich you are?"

       Hyunjin laughed sweetly. "That I can buy another game for you if you want!" Said he unknowingly. ( Not trying to be sugar daddy)

       "Woah!" Screamed Felix who had same thoughts as mine.

       "Shall we play?" Asked Hyunjin.

       "Yeah sure!"

        Felix started Explaining things in game. And Hyunjin following what he said.

( SKZooVERSE is another story I'm writing.)

        This conversation took long than an hour. Felix's friend didn't planned game for today and so Felix was helping Hyunjin on it.

      "Ah ah ah! That's wrong Hyunjin-ah!" Said he who was now feeling close to him.

      "Aaa, come on I tried it moving on left!" Yelled Hyunjin.

       The person who's voice seemed different was now having the same aura Hyunjin saw that day. The glittery face he can imagine.

        "Ya ya ya! Lixie-Yaaa! Yaa!" Seeing Felix ran leaving him he screamed. Felix laughed whose giggled made Hyunjin smile more.

       It was late in night now and those two still playing game. Felix's phone rang. As they both were talking now in game.

      "Heyo!" Said he knowing the caller.

      "Did you talked to him?" Asked Yoona curiously.

      "I'm taking to him!" Replied Felix and Hyunjin whose ears picked as he listened him softening his voice.

       "Oh! Did I bothered?" Yoona wishpering into phone.

       "No! No! You did not!" Felix too answered in whisper. And here laughed Hyunjin.

       "Ok ok! Nothing just good night call it was!" Smiled Yoona.

       "Um! Good night!" Felix giggled.

        He cleared his throat and spoke to Hyunjin, "yeah let's pack then!"

        "Who was it?" Hyunjin asked.

        "Yoona!" He replied.

        "Girlfriend?" He asked.

        "Ah no! Didn't Yoona told you. We are best friends since childhood!" Said he getting little irritated.

        "Oh you mean SeoYoon?" He asked.

        "Ah yes yes! SeoYoon!" Laughed Felix.

        "Hyunjin-ah!" Called Felix.

        "Yes!"

        "Can you call after 6 please?"

        "After 6 why?"

        "No you know! For over half year we didn't talked much. Yoona and me! And now you know. She had been calling me daily. But now two days you called on same time!" Felix paused. Wanting to know Hyunjin's reaction.

        "So I couldn't talk to her you know?" He said. 

        "But your friends call for game then?" Asked Hyunjin.

        "Ah no! They don't call me daily. On weekends only!" He replied

        "Yesterday wasn't weekend Felix!" He was getting angry.

        "Ah no!" Said Felix knowing person was getting angry.

        "I'll tell them to play on weekends you can play with us too!".

        "I don't want to!" Complained Hyunjin

        "Ah come on, I promise I'll polish your skills in one week!" Felix laughed.

        His laugh always made Hyunjin laugh.

       "Then I think I need to practise day and night. Will you play with me that much time?" Hyunjin asked

       "Of course for sure!" Giggled Felix.

        They again got engaged in game.

      The first thing Hyunjin did to get close to him. Buy a game and learn from him! The first thing Felix did for Hyunjin?

      When Hyunjin was assembling his consent Felix got another call. His friends calling him for game.

       "Ah, I think I'm busy right now! Hey! What about weekend we go all out. I think I'll be busy these days!"

       "Ah, it's ok Felix. I'll talk to them. You don't worry!" Replied his friend and cut the call.

       Why am I avoiding my friend for this person? Felix got angry over himself. Who did not even tried to know who this person was. Just knowing Yoona's classmate Hwang Hyunjin who was just being close to him to get Yoona's attention.

       On weekend Felix again ignored his freind. But it was Hyunjin who reminded him of the pan he had. Felix introduced him to the team. Where Hyunjin get to know, Felix lied about the weekend schedule. Of course he won't ask. Cause Felix too didn't asked about why he bought that game so suddenly.

       Felix friends too now we're knowing Hyunjin. And the plan for weekend was then turned into promise. The Felix's team and Hyunjin. Hyunjin did really polished his skills, better that Felix to know!

       Soon Felix checked out his SNS ID and found he dances too. And so the another topic of interest. Their chats and talks increased. Was it because they had the same interest? Or having interest in one another.

       And yes in a month it felt like they both knew from years. Felix felt him just like Yoona who is unintentionally too cheesy to him. And so was Hyunjin.

      To Hyunjin it was his new obsession. He who didn't knew, what he was doing and why he was so attracted to this freckled boy.
