민들레 꽃 - Dandelion

Felix shook his head as he chuckled. "He's so annoying"

"But you love it" Jisung nudged his shoulder.

Felix's gaze drifted towards a butterfly resting on a dandelion as a small smile tugged at his lips. "Yeah... I do"

"Chan hyung texted" the brunette muttered, slipping his phone into his pocket as he reached for Felix's hand. "There's some urgent work, and the agency we're writing for wants to hold a meeting"

"Aren't you going?" Felix asked, glancing up at him.

"I am"

"Then why are you going this way? The studio's in the opposite direction" he tilted his head.

Jisung just smiled at him. "I'll go after I drop you off"

The blonde suddenly stopped and tugged their joined hands while frowning. "Ji, you don't always have to put your work aside to watch over me. Seriously, I'll be fine. Look around, there are plenty of students. I'm not alone"

Jisung shook his head. "You're never a burden to me, Lix. Don't say it like that"

"That's not what I meant, Sung. You-" he started, but Jisung cut him off by pressing a finger to his lips.

"Shh. Just listen, okay? You're more important to me than anything else. I'm not doing this because I have to. I'm doing it because I want to. It makes me feel better knowing you're safe"

"Ji-"

"Last time I left you alone, you almost-" Jisung stopped, swallowing hard as he looked away.

"Ji, stop. That was in the past. None of it was your fault. You don't need to carry that guilt anymore, please-"

"I am guilty" Jisung said, looking at him again. "But I'm not doing this out of guilt. I'm doing this for me because it's the only way I can feel at ease. You don't understand a mother's love" he added with a disappointed shake of his head.

Felix shook his head. "You're really something, Ji"

The quokka only grinned and slung an arm around his shoulder, pulling him close as they started walking again. "I know, but you love me the most anyway"

Felix rolled his eyes, letting Jisung ramble on about the most random things as they made their way towards their lockers.

"Oh, well, well! Prince Lee is being escorted by his loyal little squirrel like usual, huh?" A voice rang out, halting the two in their tracks.

Felix let out a tired sigh as his eyes landed on his brother's so called friends. He turned to Jisung and gently grabbed his balled up fist before whispering softly, "Ji, don't. Please"

Jisung exhaled deeply as he forced himself to stay calm. "Didn't you two get enough last time? Why are you still lurking around here like cockroaches?"
