"my problem is you," changbin's words made felix's heart sink. he stood there shocked by what changbin said, as he felt the tears begin to well in his eyes.
"don't you see it? i act like a fool with you!" changbin raised his voice, causing felix to flinch slightly.
"why am i the problem?" felix asked with a sad look in his eyes.
"because i keep messing up around you! you're my problem, but you're not a problem. does that make any sense?"
"no.."
"you're like an addiction. i keep going back to you even though i know i should quit. i keep hurting you and i know it's not right, yet i continue to do it. it's so toxic felix." changbin explained to the boy, who just bit on his lip nervously.
"felix," changbin said as he placed his hand under felix's chin to lift his head gently, "you know i'm bad for you. every time we are together i just make you sad all over again."
"so stop making me sad!" felix shouted as he swatted changbin's hand away from him.
"i can't be with you felix, therefore i can't stop making you sad." changbin sighed as he began to walk away.
"you don't make any sense. you're just being an idiot!" felix screamed at the boy. changbin stopped in his tracks for a moment, but then continued on walking.
felix ran to catch up to the boy, grabbing his shoulder to turn changbin to face him.
"why are you doing this?" felix questioned.
"doing what?"
"walking away," felix said, "why can't we just be together?"
"it didn't work out before, why would it work now?"
"what do you mean?" felix asked as his bottom lip quivered slightly.
"i broke up with you felix. there was a reason we didn't work out. why would a second time change that?" changbin questioned, leaving felix speechless.
"i can't make you happy felix, i couldn't do it then and i certainly can't do it now." changbin stated as he began walking again, but this time felix walked right beside him, not letting get ahead even slightly.
"you do make me happy! you always have!" felix said, being very adamant about it.
"stop it lix," changbin sighed.
"stop what? i'm telling the truth!" felix yelled at the latter.

"then why did you harm yourself? why did you cry almost every night? why couldn't you sleep? why did you avoid me to hangout with chan? i didn't make you happy. admit it to yourself and me, please felix." changbin wasn't angry, he was hurt, and felix could finally see that.
"changbin, that wasn't your fault. you can't take the blame for something like that." felix spoke softly as he noticed the tears threatening to fall from changbin's eyes.
"i didn't make you happy felix, that's all i ever wanted to do. even now i don't know how to do that. it hurts me to see you upset, but i can't change it." the tears began to well, a few even rolling down the boy's cheeks as he stood there with felix.
"changbin, please... you have to understand that it has nothing to do with you. you're not the cause of my pain, and you can't take the sole responsibility for my happiness.
that was the issue before. i relied on you too heavily. i can't depend on others to fuel my happiness, i have to make myself happy." felix cupped changbin's face, wiping away the tears as they fell.
"i can't be with you felix." changbin stated as he went to pull away, but felix grabbed onto him and brought him into a tight hug.
"okay," felix began to cry, but made sure to keep it quiet so changbin wouldn't notice.
"okay?" changbin questioned through his slight sobs.
felix spoke softly, "i hurt you just as much as you think you hurt me."
changbin pulled away from the hug quickly and looked at felix's puffy eyes that were filled with tears, "you never hurt me felix."
"you just haven't realized it yet, but i have." felix shook his head as he chewed on the inside of his cheek.
"felix, please... you really haven't," changbin started, "you misinterpreted what i said."
"what did you mean then?" felix questioned, already having an idea of the answer in his head.
"felix, hurt you, not the other way around." changbin began to explain, "jisung told me you thought i was cheating on you with hyunjin... everyone in the friend group told me how badly i hurt you with the break up.
i saw the look in your eyes whenever i was with hyunjin. i heard about the day you found out i liked hyunjin. then there's the countless amount of times where i've said stupid shit and you've gotten upset. how do you not see it felix? how do you not see how terrible i am for you?"

"changbin-"
"don't tell me i haven't hurt you because even standing here now i know i'm hurting you and yet i can't stop it. i know the final thing i say will hurt you the most of all," changbin looked down at the ground to avoid felix's gaze, "i don't want to be with you felix."
silence fell upon the two boys. felix didn't know how to respond, his throat closed on him, and his chest began to tighten. he stood there frozen, waiting for changbin to say something to make up for his last few words.
"i'm sorry felix," changbin moved towards the boy, "i told you last night was our final one to be like that. i can't be with you ever again, i'm not even sure i can handle being near you.
every time i think i've quit... i somehow end up doing something dumb that leads you to believe we can be together again when we can't."
"why can't we? did you really not have any feelings for me anymore?"
"you keep asking this and my answer hasn't changed. we're not good for each other. no matter how amazing you may be for me, i will never be good enough for you. just accept that felix. this isn't a loss, you're better off without me." changbin answered, except he refused to admit his feelings for felix.
"well i don't want to be better off if it's without you." felix said as he watched changbin begin to walk off.
"why would you want someone who only knows how to hurt you? we're going around in circles here felix. it's not just now that i'm hurting you, it was always. think about it. think about our relationship and how often you were upset. you'll realize i was never good to you." changbin walked away and this time felix didn't stop him.
felix stood there, tears falling down his cheeks. he felt numb. frozen. he didn't know how to move or breathe. this time changbin was gone, and he really wasn't coming back.
felix never thought changbin was hurting him. of course there were times when changbin would upset him, but changbin had done so much good for felix that he never really paid attention to the negatives.
although felix harmed himself while dating changbin, changbin was always the one to help him after the fact. felix did cry every night, but it was because of his nightmares about his father, and those were also what made him have sleepless nights.
as for avoiding changbin to hangout with chan... when felix really thought back to it, he realized he was probably in the wrong there.
felix was so focused on the fact that hyunjin and changbin were getting closer, that he subconsciously used chan as a distraction. felix began to wonder if changbin ever felt the same way towards chan that he felt towards hyunjin...
felix never really thought changbin would cheat on him with hyunjin, he did mention to jisung a couple times, but that was out of jealousy. felix has always been jealous of hyunjin, he always knew hyunjin to be the most attractive boy around school.
hyunjin always made changbin laugh in ways felix never could, he made changbin loosen up. felix knows changbin has told hyunjin things that changbin hasn't told him, and it hurts to think that hyunjin may be changbin's go to person instead of him.
that was why felix was always so upset about hyunjin. hyunjin was everything felix felt like he wasn't, everything he wished he could be.
it was never really changbin's fault. especially if the feelings for hyunjin were never real and only made up to push felix even further away.
felix felt like he was starting to piece everything together, but unfortunately he had done it a little too late, and was still missing the most important piece of the puzzle.
it seemed as though changbin was now gone from felix's life. they had a sweet last night, and a painful last morning.
a.n.
true beauty and color rush will be the death of me!!!
both of the most recent episodes have cliffhangers that are unbearable, i hate it here.
also if y'all aren't watching either of those shows i highlyyyy recommend, but maybe wait until all the episodes are out because waiting each week is torturous

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.
