It was exactly 8 pm at ESteem models
Hyunjin stood outside the casting room, occasionally checking his phone every now or then
Maybe he'd come earlier than expected. He was the only one there at the time. He'd forgotten to check out the time he was expected to arrive for training.
"Guess I'm not the only early bird." A soft voice called out,with a low chuckle
Hyunjin gaze moved from his phone to the young lady in front of him
She possessed striking sharp, upturned, cat-like eyes, which gave her a dual aura of intense, feline ferocity.
She stood at 167 cm (5'6") with a well-toned, straight body shape that was highly fit and model-like with her hair styled into ponytails.
"Oh, my long lost twin." She joked with a warm smile.
Hyunjin stared at her in a confused manner, "What?"
"Forgive my manners. It's not every day i see someone who looks a lot like me. I'm Hwang Yeji and you?." She extended her hand for a handshake
"I'm Hwang Hyunjin. " He replied and shook her
"We ever bear exactly the same first name. Oh, it must be a blessing. " She added
"It's such a coincidence ." Hyunjin broke into a smile just before his phone interrupted the moment.
Felix's name flashed across the screen in bold letters, and he quickly picked it up and held it up to his ear
"Hyunjin!. Why did you leave without telling anyone?." Felix voice rang out loudly from the phone
"I'm at modeling classes," he explained
"Yah, so? You should have told me you'd be leaving early. I'd have gotten up earlier to make you breakfast. "
"I'm fine. You don't have to do that,I can take care of myself. "
"Tch,love-struck dummies." Seungmin sneered from the background
"Shut up, Seungmin."
Felix hissed,"You don't know what you're talking about."
"Well,bye then." Hyunjin said and hung up
"Oh-is that your boyfriend?." Yeji grinned curiously
"No... I don't know... he's not my boyfriend. Just a friend."
"If you say so."
.

Felix eyed Seungmin with a loud sneer,"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?."
"Aren't you supposed to be in class, but yet here we are." Seungmin replied
"Whatever. " Felix scoffed
_____________
After classes, Hyunjin made his way to the door when Yeji stopped him
"Leaving so fast?. Why don't we have lunch together, you know. Get to know ourselves better." She suggested
Hyunjin, without any second thoughts, gave a small nod,"Sure, why not?."
"Good,I've about this cute mini restaurant downtown, and there is a guy there who they say makes the best brownies in the world."
"Let's go then. "
.
.
.
"Hyunjin isn't here yet." Felix pouts, constantly checking the time,"Arent his classes over yet?."
"What's up with you lately?." Jisung raised an eyebrow at him,"Why are you acting like an overly protective boyfriend?."
Felix shot him a death glare,"Shut up."
"I'm just saying the truth. You act like you could combust if anyone breathes next to him for too long." Jisung teased with an annoying smirk
The front door opened, and Hyunjin walked in with Yeji behind him
"Why did it have to be here?."
"Let's get that legendary brownies I've heard about." Yeji smiled,lovingly, and pulled him towards a table by the window
After three minutes, Jeongin came over to take their order
"What can I get-oh Hyunjin. Who's this?." Jeongin questioned
"Jeongin, this is Yeji. She's a friend of mine." He introduced
"Yeji?. Well nice to see you,I'm Jeongin and what can I get you, Yeji? "
She smiled,"We'll just start with water for now."
"Okay." He made his way into the kitchen
_____________
"Hyunjin has a girlfriend. " Jeongin blurted, leaning on the door
"What?."
"Jeongin. " Jisung groaned
"It's true. They're seated together. Go see for yourselves."
"You can't just assume she's his girlfriend. You do this every time. Do we have to go through this again?." Jisung crossed his arm
"I'm just saying, and where the hell is Changbin? "
"Felix..."
"I'm fine... pfft. I don't care if he has a girlfriend or not."
"You're jealous. " Jeongin teased
"I'm not..."
"You are." He continued
"Jeongin, enough!." Jisung glared
"Alright. You know, don't take it to heart."
"Not another word from you."
Felix gripped his apron in a white knuckled fist, clutching his chest as tears threatened to spill.
"Hyung, it's not that serious. Why are you acting like you just got cheated on?." Jeongin's brow furrowed in a look of mild confusion.
"Felix... " Jisung called
"I said I'm fine." He lashed out,"Stop acting like I'm a pathetic love struck dummy."
"He only introduced her as his friend. I was only pulling your legs. I never knew you'd react on it."
"Of course, I'd react cause his mine!." He flared,"No one else gets to have him. Neither man nor woman, I met him first, and his mine. Only mine!."
"Felix,calm down."
"We get it. No one's taking him."
"I'm not in love with him, but he's mine!."He stormed out
"Wait up." Jisung called after him
____________
"We should do this often." Yeji grinned, tapping lightly at the table.
Felix looked back at them, his eyelashes damp and his mouth shaking with unspoken emotion.
Hyunjin locked eyes with him, his wide gaze radiating pure shock,"Felix...?"
Ripping off his apron, he slammed it onto the tiles and lunged for the exit.
"Jisung, what's going on?."
Jisung watched as he closed the door behind him.
"Jeongin, what happened to Felix?." Hyunjin asked worriedly
"Jeongin, this is all your fault."
"It's not my fault. How am I supposed to know he'd have an outburst because of Hyunjin?." Jeongin frowned
"An outburst?." Hyunjin quiered,"Someone should answer me."
"What's his problem?." Yeji asked, staring at her nails
"Hyunjin, let's talk in the kitchen. " Jisung said,his voice flat.
"Okay."
