Chapter thirty-eight

"Minho, you prolly won't even answer, but I need you right now." 

Why does he need me? What happened?

"Minmin, please come help. You saw the way we left. Just go straight and you'll find us."

Minho looks up in confusion. What could've happened? 

"Ehm guys," dammit this is gonna come over really weird, I can't tell the truth, "I gotta pee." Wow, good lie, sir. They will definitely fall for that.

"Ok? Have fun." Nailed it.

Minho leaves and starts looking for Jisung and Felix. A moment later he sees them both. On the ground. He fastens his step and kneels down beside Jisung, who looks happy to see him.

"What's happened?"

"Felix has a condition. And I know nothing about what to do with sick people. You do, though, right?"

"I mean, I know the basics," He puts his hand on Felix's forehead, "Felix? Where does it hurt?"

The boy doesn't answer. His hand is clenched to his heart. Not literally, of course. Just the flesh on top of it. Minho looks at the boy for some time and stands up afterwards. 

"He doesn't have anything physical. He's just really sad. Felix? I'm sorry to ask this but has something happened to someone or something you care about recently?" Felix looks up at Minho. There are twinkles in his eyes. But not the usual ones that accompany his happiness. "I'm sorry, Felix. I really am. Tell me if there's anything I can do."

"You can stop being so hot?" Minho blushes as he hears Jisung's voice ring in his head. Jisung smiles self-done at him. Minho clears his throat and looks away as he scratches his neck. "Lunch break starts soon," Jisung says this time out loud, "Could you stay? You know, for if Felix feels unwell again," and continues, this time again in their minds, "And I still need to talk to you."

"S-sure." 

"Ehm," Felix hitches, "Weren't we going somewhere?" Felix asks Jisung, pleading obvious in his eyes.

"I don't think Minho would mind coming along. Would you?" Minho shakes his head a bit too eagerly making it hard for Jisung to hold back his laugh, "Good." 

Felix looks unsure at Jisung who just smiles back, "You don't have to tell him anything, don't worry." Felix nods in answer and lets Jisung pull him up. As the boys get up and start walking again, Minho follows them, not sure where they are heading to. 

After a couple of minutes of walking, Minho would swear to god that the boys didn't know where they were going and were just roaming around. 

A bell rang, signalling the lunch break.

Felix's eyes shot to Jisung, "We can still look for him through the next activity. And the next days. And if you get an attack in the mean times we will search for its source right away. You still remember what he looks like, right?" Jisung assures him.

"How could I forget."

"Great."

As they got back to the cafeteria and sat down Jisung spoke up again, "I really gotta pee. Minho you just went to the toilet last activity right?" "You better play along." 

"Yeah, would you want me to show you the toilet?"

"Yes, please. Lix, I will be right back, don't do any stupid stuff. And if you do, call me, ok?"

"Sure thing."

The two get up and Minho walks them towards the exit of the canteen. When they turned the corner Jisung took Minho's hand and made a run for the toilets. Once they got there he opened the last stall, pushed Minho inside and locked the door.

"Oh," Minho says with that smug smile of his.

"Had to get far enough so Felix wouldn't hear us. So, my question; Do you have any friends on our campus?"

"What?" Minho was confused as to why Jisung would ask that, "I do. You literally met Hyunjin, Innie and Chris."

"Not them," Jisung answers while rolling his eyes, "Do you have other friends than them who study here?"

"Why? Would you get jealous?" He turned them both around so he was now pinning Jisung down onto the wall, "I liked what happened last time you got jealous."

"I'm not jealous, Min. Just answer my question. Are you friends with any other students, yes or no?" eyes on Jisung's lips Minho hummed a no-response while slowly leaning into the boy. 

Jisung bends down and gets out under Minho's arms, opens the door and goes outside. "Keep it in your pants," he shrugs.

Minho groans, "Oh, come onnn!" and rushes up to Jisung and follows him back to the canteen.

When they get back they see the rest of their friends have arrived too. 

Jisung takes in his normal place next to Felix and Minho next to him. 

While they were walking in Chris and Hyunjin were whispering something to Jeongin but it seems like they were done. Jeongin looked up shocked at Minho with his mouth agape. Minho looks questioning back at the boy. 

"You look really good today, Minho hyung," The boy speaks up from his place across from Minho. Great, Minho thought, all I needed was one more of my friends to tease me.

"Thanks, I slept well," Minho answers, faking a smile.

The rest of the lunch break went pretty fast and before they knew the bell was heard, this time signalling the end of the break.

As everyone walked out and joined their groups again for their next activity, Jisung and Felix left the other way.

"I talked to him, by the way," Jisung says to Felix.

"And? What did he say?"

"He said the only students he was friends with were Hyunjin, Chris and Innie. Maybe he had that scent on his clothes because that boy was also in the cafe. Not with him necessarily."

"I don't know. Maybe." 

The boys search around until Jisung's group has to do the rock climbing. Jisung gets back and stays with Minho at the side, just talking and comforting his mate while the rest were climbing.

The week flew by quickly and before they knew it it was Sunday again. Tomorrow is yet again a real school day. Jisung thinks while lying in bed after dinner. 

Felix had had a couple more of his attacks, each time getting worse. He said it was because his body only craved his mate's touch more and more. If the man hadn't bit him then, none of this would've happened. Their friends started to worry as to why Felix had these attacks. They shook it off saying it was nothing. 

That was the most they could say. They clearly couldn't say 'Oh, yes, because a vampire, who by the way is also Felix's mate, bit him and didn't come back yet. So now his body's going in heat until he can finally find him.'

I hope we find him. Soon.
