Now that they were side by side, Felix realized how much shorter the boy was. The boy smiled and stepped out from behind the counter. “Yes,” Felix answered, before realizing that he had just agreed to follow the cutie around the shop. The cute boy nodded (Felix squinted at his nametag, but he was still a bit rusty with the new language). Who knew that one of the workers at the pet shop would catch his eye before the animals did? “I- I just came to look, you know. “Ah…” Felix could feel the blush rising in his cheeks. “Sorry,” Felix said in his sweetest voice (which was difficult for him, being a bit deeper than the average high schooler). In his excitement, the bell rang a bit to brashly, causing a boy behind the counter to jump up. He shrugged it off, instead swinging open the door. The pet shop really was not too far from the park, and he wondered why he hadn’t ventured down that way before. The moment he pulled up the directions, he got on his way. There was a pet shop nearby, and Felix knew this only because he looked it up on his phone while sitting on the grass at the park, desperately searching for some little creature to entertain him. He normally wouldn’t let it bother him, but sometimes the homesickness was too strong to ignore. Everything was different, from the sights, to the sounds, and even the smells. It wasn’t unbearable in any way it was colorful enough and there was a park not too far down the street, but it was no Sydney. Now that he was in South Korea, he was lucky to find an ant crawling across the sidewalk in front of his family’s concrete apartment. Felix never thought that he would miss the somewhat questionable wildlife of Australia.īack in Sydney, he had been no crocodile hunter, but he had enjoyed running into his backyard and playing with the centipedes under logs and chasing the lizards that scurried across the dirt.
