As they walked to school, Changbin, Jisung, and Chan discussed their plans for the week. The rain had stopped earlier, but the puddles left behind were still quite noticeable.
Suddenly, they heard a car approaching from behind them. Changbin turned around and saw Felix's audi coming towards them. He braced himself for the worst, expecting Felix to drive through a puddle and splash them with water. But instead, Felix slowed down and drove past them with a wink in Changbin's direction.
Jisung and Chan looked at Changbin in shock, and Jisung asked, "What did you do with him?"
Chan chimed in, "I guess you didn't lie to us, you really are great in bed."
Changbin laughed, "Come on guys, can't a guy have a little fun without being interrogated?"
As they walked through the halls of the school, the three of them were overwhelmed by the number of congratulations they received. Students were approaching them to express their admiration for their concert.
"Hey, great concert!" said one of the students.
"Guys, you tore the room!" exclaimed a pretty girl from Chan's class .
"Seriously, that was awesome," said a young teacher as he patted them on the back.
"When is the next concert?" asked one of Changbin's classmates.
"We can't wait to see you perform again," said another.
As they made their way to their lockers, they couldn't help but feel proud of what they had accomplished.
One of Felix's friends, Minho, approached them near the lockers.
"Congratulations, it was a really good concert," Minho said, looking only at Jisung. It was as if Changbin and Chan were interrupting something.
"Thanks, man," Jisung said with a shy smile.
As Minho walked away, Chan and Changbin noticed the redness in Jisung's face and exchanged a mischievous look.
"What's up, Jisung? You seem a little flustered," teased Changbin.
Jisung tried to play it cool, "It's nothing, just surprised to see him here."
Chan added, "Or maybe you're just happy to see him?"
Jisung rolled his eyes, "Shut up, guys. It's not like that."
Changbin raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? Then why are you blushing?"
Jisung shook his head, "You guys are so annoying. Can we talk about something else?"
But Chan couldn't resist teasing him a little more, "So, when are you going to ask him out?"
Jisung groaned, "Stooooop it."

During lunchtime in the cafeteria, there was an unusual amount of noise. Felix turned to his friend Seungmin and asked, "What's going on? Why is it so loud here?"
Seungmin replied, "It's because of 3racha. Several tables of girls and even boys are discussing who's hotter between them and how they can get their attention."
Jeongin then interrupted, saying, "Look, one of the girls is making the first move!" They all turned their heads to see a girl fixing her hair and walking towards the 3racha table with a piece of paper in her hand.
Felix held his breath, hoping the girl wouldn't approach Changbin as he didn't want to compete for his attention again. However, the girl walked up to Chan, handed him the piece of paper, and said, "Call me."
Chan shyly smiled and thanked her
As they continued to observe, another student approached the 3racha table with a note. Jeongin whispered, "Looks like Changbin's next," pointing to the girl who just passed by them.
More students began to approach the 3racha table, scribbling their numbers onto pieces of paper and leaving them with the members.
Felix twitched every time someone walked over to their table, Changbin got 3 papers. Felix felt increasingly nervous and hoped that his friends hadn't noticed. However, when he looked at them, he saw that their attention was focused entirely on the 3racha table.
He hoped that his friends hadn't noticed his discomfort, but when he looked over at them, he saw that they were completely fixated on the scene unfolding before them. However, he couldn't help but notice that Minho seemed particularly agitated.
Minho got up suddenly from his seat and walked over to the 3racha table. He grabbed a pen from one of the nearby tables and made his way towards Jisung. He took one of Jisung's papers with numbers and wrote his own number on it. Then he winked at Jisung before returning to his friends table.
Jeongin raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Wow it was sexy by the way"
Seungmin chuckled and said, "I have no idea that you liked him."
Minho said, "Yeah, me too"
Felix picked up his phone and began to type a message to Changbin, determined to take matters into his own hands.
Felix
Come tonight?
Changbin
Ok. But as it is not a one-time thing anymore, we should discuss the rules.
——————————
In the evening, Changbin arrived at Felix's house. As they settled into the kitchen, Felix leaned on the bar, Changbin sat at the table
Felix asked, "Okay, what do you want to discuss?"
Changbin replied, "Let's be clear about the rules. For example, you wanted me to be silent with my friends about you, but you didn't communicate that to me earlier. Now, it's too late. Let's start setting some ground rules."
Felix nodded and said, "Okay, I agree. I should have been clear about what I wanted. I didn't want our relationship to become public knowledge. Nobody should know"
"Even your friends?" asked Changbin
"Yes"
"Accepted," Changbin stated firmly, "I have a rule. I don't want to sleep with you if you're having sex with someone else or if you have a boyfriend."
Felix tried to brush it off, "Oh come on, it's just sex and we use condoms."
Changbin stuck to his words, "That's right. But it's my principles."
Felix sarcastically remarked, "Oh, you're a man of principles, I got it."
Changbin clarified, "I'm not asking for much. Just send me a message in that case, and we'll be done. It's easy."
"Accepted," said Felix
"What about you, don't you want to make the same rule for me?" asked Changbin
"No, I don't care"
Changbin chuckled, "No doubt"
"In any case, I hope you understand that this relationship is not for long. This could be our last meeting very easily, so I don't see the point in making a lot of rules. Do you have anything else?" Felix said
Changbin shook his head
"Well, since we've discussed everything, can we move on to the main part of our meeting?" asked Felix
Felix was still waiting for an answer, his eyes met with Changbin. Before he knew it, Changbin abruptly stood up and approached Felix, who was leaning on the bar. He did not hesitate to merge their lips. Felix put his hands on the Changbin's neck to bring their bodies closer together. Changbin took a step forward to push Felix closer to the counter. Changbin reached down to slip his hand under his t-shirt, moving it slowly up his torso.
——————————
After a while, Changbin helped Felix to stand up and gently took him to the bathroom. He put Felix to the bath, Felix broke the silence, "Are you leaving already?".
Changbin nodded, "Yeah, I have to go," he replied.
Felix felt a pang of disappointment, but he knew that it was part of the arrangement they had agreed upon.
