    (You are Felix) Felix, with his golden-blond hair and constellation of freckles, walked through the school halls. His delicate features often caught the eyes of others, but he didn’t mind. He had Changbin, his boyfriend, who was strong, charming, and protective. They’d been dating since the start of the year, and Felix was happy—though something felt off.

    Changbin, an 18-year-old senior, had been distant lately. His sweet words were less frequent, and his affection seemed forced. Felix had noticed, but he refused to acknowledge it. He wanted to believe their love was real.

    Hyunjin, 19, Changbin’s best friend, saw the truth. He knew about the bet—the one where Changbin was with Felix just for a challenge. Hyunjin had initially ignored it, thinking it was just another silly dare. But the more he saw Felix, the more his heart ached for the younger boy. Felix was kind, trusting, and so full of life—too innocent for the cruel truth.

    One afternoon, Hyunjin found Felix sitting alone on the rooftop, curled up with his arms around his knees.

    "Where’s Changbin?" Hyunjin asked, sitting beside him.

    Felix sighed. "He’s busy... hasn’t been around much lately."

    Hyunjin studied Felix’s face. He hated seeing the sadness hidden behind his eyes. "Felix, you deserve someone who cares about you, not just... as a bet."

    Felix looked up at him, confusion clouding his gaze. "What do you mean?"

    Hyunjin’s throat tightened. He wanted to protect Felix, but the truth was a heavy burden. "Just... don’t let yourself be someone’s game."
