Chapter Text
Felix collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. His glasses fogged up so much to the point he could barely see what was in-front of him. He regretted taking P.E, but since Chan and Woojin were in it and they were the only friends he had, he might as well do it.
“That was 12.37 seconds faster than your last attempt!” exclaimed Chan, helping Felix up from the ground. Felix nodded at him tiredly before walking over to the stands. Woojin laughed and stretched his hand out to offer Felix a towel.
“Thanks,” Felix said, taking off his glasses and wiping the sweat building on his face.
“Are you heading to the studio after school is done?” asked Chan, who was starting to pack up since the end of the day was drawing near.
Felix nodded again. He grabbed his bag and returned the towel to Woojin. Felix pointed behind him. “I’m gonna go and get some food before I collapse from exhaustion and hunger.”
“Wish we could follow along, but sadly, both of us have to do,” Woojin winked, “relationship stuff.” Chan and Woojin laughed as Felix turned bright red and started walking away toward the stores, giving them the middle finger while doing so.
“He’s so childish,” Chan commented, shaking his head and laughing at the blonde boy who was practically sprinting now towards his favourite store.
Felix sighed in relief as he sat down on the cold chair, the complete opposite of his still overworked, sweaty body. Eating ice cream the moment he finishes P.E was probably the best feeling in the world. He ordered his usual - strawberry and vanilla with chocolate syrup and sprinkles - and payed before returning to his seat.
Before he could even taste his ice cream, somebody roughly grabbed his shoulders, causing him to nearly drop his cold desert and have a mini-heart attack.
“Wha-!”
“Shhh... Please, just stay quiet and play along,” Felix looked up and saw quite a tall man, wearing all white with a panda facemask. Felix turned his head around and saw lots of girls storming into the store yelling and screaming.
“Are they the main reason you almost caused me to drop my fuel?” Felix asked. The man’s eyebrow raised in surprise from hearing such a deep voice from such a young looking man but still responded.
“Your fuel? Ugh, whatever, that doesn’t matter. Yes, it’s because of them that I’m here right now,” the man replied, ducking and facing away every time one of the girls got close to their table.
“Sorry for bothering you,” a girl said, coming up to his table. “but have you seen a tall man wearing all white with a face mask?” Felix looked under the table to see the man looking desperately at him. Felix sighed before shaking his head.
“Sadly, I have not. I’ll let you know if I have though!” Felix shot a smile at her, not noticing how the girl blushed deeply before thanking him and running away.
The man emerged from under the table and let out a relieved sigh, “Thank you for not exposing me to them.”
Felix nodded before he attacked his cold treat, almost devouring the entire thing in under a few seconds. He then looked up the man who was nervously fiddling with the strings of his hoodie.
“So, who are you?” Felix asked casually, wiping his mouth with a napkin. The man jumped before letting out a small smile.
“I’m Hwang Hyunjin,” the man introduces. Felix closes his eyes and tries to recall any memories associating with that name, but nothing comes up to mind. “Are you like a model or something?” Felix asks.
Hyunjin hummed. “I guess you could say that. I’m one of those models that pops up in magazines sometimes. I also sing, dance and rap too, so that might’ve caused my popularity to sky rocket,” he then pauses and looks at Felix closely. Felix blushed and leans away, cautious of what Hyunjin is doing.
“You look like you could also be a model! Why don’t you try out? We’re looking for a few more models right now and none of the current applicants that have applied are satisfactory to my manager’s standards.” Felix looked surprised at his suggestion.
“Me? A model? Yeah, I don’t really see that happening. I mean have you looked at me? My glasses are wonky and big, my hair looks like the freaking sun and my freckles make me look ugly,” Hyunjin gasped at him, surprised and looking offended.
“The things that you said are your attributes that make you attractive and unique!” Felix snorted and Hyunjin glared at him. “I’m being serious right now! You should really try to apply! I’m sure you would get accepted right away!”
Felix looked down to check his phone to see that Chan had messaged him, asking if he was already on his way to the studio. He quickly replies before looking up at Hyunjin.
“I gotta go somewhere now, It was nice to meet you,” but before he could walk away, Hyunjin grabbed his arm. Felix turned around, confused.
“Wait, before you leave, take this.” Hyunjin handed him a small card with his name and number on it. Felix paused before grabbing it and reading what it said.
“Why did you give me your number?” Felix asked, confused. “Just so that if you’re interested in joining the modelling agency in the future, you have a way to contact me!” Hyunjin replied, smirking and swiping a strand of hair away from his face.
Felix rolled his eyes before nodding, waving goodbye and leaving the ice cream store. He was immediately met with a flood of girls still waiting and camping outside the store.
Chan would surely get a kick from hearing what had just happened. Why was his life so complicated?
