Whispers Of Regret | Hyunlix

Espoir - Hope

The ravenette turned off the flame and transferred the food to a waiting bowl, his movements fluid and graceful. As he turned around, his eyes caught sight of the younger one gulping down water, his eyes widened.

Hyunjin instantly hurried over to the younger. "Baby, you're awake? Come have food with me," his tone gentle and soothing, a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Caught off guard by the sudden nickname, the younger choked on his drink, surprise evident in his expression. With a quick gesture, the ravenette reached out, concern etched on his features as he patted the younger's back.

"Lix, don't drink so fast love, or you'll choke," he urged, his voice laced with genuine worry. Feeling his heart race and a blush creeping onto his cheeks, the younger hastily composed himself, a mixture of emotions swirling within him in the presence of the older.

He shook away the nagging thoughts that clouded his mind, his expression settling into a mask of stoicism as he turned towards the older beside him. With a furrowed brow, he regarded the ravenette, whose gaze held a tender warmth as it lingered on his face, a soft smile playing at his lips.

The blond, caught in a whirlwind of confusion, wore a puzzled expression, his thoughts racing as he silently looked at the ravenette with a weird out expression. *Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? What happened to him?* Lost in his thoughts, he remained oblivious to the gentle tug of his arm as the ravenette clasped his hand and wordlessly led him towards the table.

Pulling the chair out, the ravenette gestured for the younger to take a seat. The blonde snapped back to reality, drawn in by the mouthwatering scent of the meal. It had been ages since he had enjoyed a truly satisfying meal, and the hunger gnawing at his stomach was impossible to ignore. Hyunjin or not, he is hungry. Despite any doubts lingering in his mind, he shooed them away and sank into the chair without hesitation.

The ravenette began placing an array of dishes before him, piling his plate high. "Eat a lot, baby," he urged gently, his voice filled with affection.

The younger hesitated momentarily before taking a bite of spaghetti, his eyes widening in delight at the familiar, comforting flavor. Without further contemplation, he eagerly dug in, relishing each and every bite. Hyunjin's cooking remained as wonderful as ever, evoking precious memories of when they were dating; Hyunjin used to cook whenever the younger wanted to eat his food.

The ravenette couldn't help but smile as he watched the younger devouring the meal before him, his appetite seemingly insatiable. With a gentle touch, he added more food to his plate, urging him to eat more. Time seemed to stretch on as the blonde continued to eat, savoring each bite.

Eventually, Felix leaned back in his chair, a satisfied expression gracing his features. But as he glanced over at the ravenette, he noticed the older staring at him, a small pile of untouched food still sitting on his own plate. Tilting his head in confusion, Felix asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

The ravenette shook his head, a soft chuckle escaping his lips. "I'm full."

The younger hesitated, feeling the weight of the older's affectionate gaze before averting his eyes, focusing on the table. Finally gathering the courage to ask the question that had been nagging at him since he stepped into the kitchen, "What's with the gigantic feast? Is someone coming over?"
