"why were you reading a book in a park at this hour?" felix was caught off by the sudden question of the older making him look at him as he gulped down saliva wetting his dry throats "just...felt like it" he made up an excuse looking down at his shoes "weirdo" hyunjin muttered getting up from the ground dusting his jeans
suddenly a soft gasp escaped Felix's pretty little mouth as hyunjin glanced at him confused, he stared at the boy until he spoke up again "my book..." felix uttered silently now looking at hyunjin with soft worried eyes, hyunjin stared at him with blank expressions "what a loser" with that being said he turned around to leave
it was then when he felt two pairs of hands latch onto his arms "please. let's go back?" hyunjin looked at him like somebody has just practiced a satanic ritual in front of his eyes "are you in your right mind boy? I ran for my life all the way here just to go back there?" hyunjin spoke rather rudely making felix look down
felix knew he was wrong for asking this but he really had no other option, that book meant a lot to him "please? I can't deal with him alone, he's so big" felix uttered biting his lip. he felt shy doing that he didn't like asking for favors, but the book was very important to him and he couldn't just let go of it "I don't give a fuck about you or your stupid book, should've left you alone there" hyunjin uttered snatching his arm away from felix
the sad boy watched hyunjin walk away sighing, 'maybe it'll be there in the morning' felix whispered to himself as he walked to the opposite way of hyunjin unaware of where his feet went but he continued to walk, he always assured himself even through the thickest times it was a habit he owned since he was very young
hyunjin walked into the thick fogs of the July night while he exhaled a sigh staring up at the sky. he reached out his hand to run his fingers through his hair but he was stopped when he felt something touch his arm as he raised it
he quickly turned his eyes to look at it only to find a broken necklace with a key hanging from it stuck to his bracelet "what is this?" he questioned himself squinting his eyes to take a closer look at the pendant. he stared at it before realizing that it must be Felix's, it must've broken and stuck to his bracelet while they were pulling those stunts
"god" he muttered annoyedly to himself turning around to give it back to him, but much to his dismay the boy was long gone which made him sigh and roll his eyes "whatever" he uttered turning around and beginning to leave again

cold water ran down from the shower while stood beneath it hyunjin, he ran his long slender fingers through his wet hair pushing them back and revealing his shiny forehead the water dripped down his body as he turned around turning off the shower and walking out of it, he turned to glance at himself in the mirror before taking a step to get out of the bathroom
he walked outside of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around his waist, his drenched hair dripping down crystal droplets on his pale muscles. his body was very defined and carved beautifully as if the gods above took their bestest times to carve such deep cuts in the older's body. but really it was just hitting the gym a few times
he walked inside his walk-in closet to pick out something to wear, he knew that he was already late for school but he didn't bother hurrying up his speed. he was taking his time being slow and steady with each and every move he took "hmm" he hummed out roaming his hands through the hanging clothes not sure of what to wear
"Hyunjin-ah, are you ready? breakfast is getting cold and you're late too...hurry up" he heard his mother speak from outside of the room but he didn't answer, busy picking out the most basic clothes that he could've picked in five minutes but decided to stretch the matter for so long so he'd have less time at school
he didn't like being home either, he was an odd guy, to say the least

felix gulped down a bunch of medicines with a glass of water as he put the glass down making a clinking sound in the empty room. he didn't have any shifts until late afternoon so he decided he'd just stay home and rest since his fatigue was really growing on him. he glanced out the kitchen window watching pretty birds flying here and there
the sun looking the brightest ever and the blue sky contrasting well with its warm light. he sighed at the sight feeling himself get calm, a sudden discomfort rushed over him when he stared at the scenery for a little too long and bitter flashbacks rushed before his eyes
'mommy! no!" a brown-haired boy who appeared to be not a day older than seven screamed while tears streamed down his face when he saw his house getting burned down into ashes while he stood outside watching his parents sitting on the sofa smiling at him through the glass window
the fire didn't take long to engulf the couple and take their lives leaving the small poor boy helpless. he shouted, cried, and begged for help but no one came, the sun remained shining brightly in the sky while pretty clouds decorated the blue sky
birds chirping could be heard in the far distance from the house but the small child's helpless yells overpowered it
a loud siren brought felix out of his nightmare reality as he blinked his eyes continuously trying to wash away the tears, he inhaled and exhaled deep breaths turning around and holding onto the marbled counter to stand still and not lose himself. 'why did I even think of that' he thought to himself continued to take in deep breaths
his throat felt like it was suffocating and his chest was tightening, he could feel his stomach do something odd as he felt like throwing up right that instant. his feet began to feel light and his head started getting dizzy and heavy
tears which he was blinking away just a second ago now rushed down his freckled cheeks damping them as he sobbed trying to regain his shuddering breath and aching heart. he couldn't feel his legs anymore which led him to fall down on the cold hard floor
his entire body was shaking and trembling while he covered himself with his own slim arms trying to think straight and get out of this hole as soon as he can. apparently, his parents had committed suicide because they couldn't afford to continue a family, let alone raise a child. they lost their jobs due to reasons and it was a very bad time for the Lee family
they decided to lock the house while their son was outside playing, and burn it down. they couldn't sell the place either it was too old and rusty, in the middle of nowhere. and that left felix scarred for the rest of his life as he continued to live in an orphanage then moved out once he was 18, now being 20 he was once again reminded of the tragedy he went through as a child
he tried to reach his hands towards his neck to hold onto the necklace his mother had left for him, but goosebumps rose on his skin when he didn't feel the metal chain around his neck

hyunjin sat down in his seat at the back of the class while he stared out the window quietly waiting for the lesson to begin. he normally would roam around the hallways but today he didn't feel the energy inside of him to do anything so he gave in and decided to just sit and wait
while he was having his moment peacefully staring out the window a girl sat next to him without his knowledge "uh...can I sit here?" her sweet voice rang in hyunjin's ear as he turned around to glance at the person. it was a blond girl, wide hazel eyes and pretty lips she had a sharp nose and was a fair height
hyunjin stared at her for a second before turning around to look outside the window again, which was enough of an answer for her to sit down and that he didn't care "thanks..." she muttered under her breath sitting next to him clenching tightly onto her black skirt, she stared at him while he looked out the window
the soft blue light reflecting on his heavenly features making him look ever-so-handsome, although his black hood covered half the entirety of his face, the remaining was still gorgeous "so...your name is hyunjin?" she asked trying to make conversation with him
he didn't answer her for a while but soon enough hummed "I'm Riya, nice to meet you" she spoke smiling but he didn't see her smile. he didn't even glance at her "okay" he replied, his tone sounded uninterested and tired which made her look down defeated "you don't like to talk much" she chuckled
yet again hyunjin remained silent, he didn't care about her. or anybody in this school for that matter, even if he met God in here he wouldn't care. anything and anyone inside of this tall building was his enemy doesn't matter if he knows them or no

the tall boy walked outside of school feeling lighter by each step he took away from the place. he continued to walk away from the school but he didn't take the path which leads him to his house. instead, he decided taking a stroll around the forest would be nice
he walked and walked glancing here and there at the fresh leaves of the tall trees, the calming wind rushing past him and the sweet birds chirping in the prettiest manner. he hated them but he didn't care to be bothered by them so he continued his walk
he was now deep in the forest, standing in the middle of it feeling so lost. not knowing which path to take and it couldn't have made him happier, well happiness isn't his best bud. so a peel of joy would be the correct statement he felt his mind be free as he began to look around only to find tall trees surrounding all of his sights
although his peace of mind was disturbed by the sounds of someone stepping on the crusty broken woods, he snapped his neck in the direction of the noise walking closer to it. he took small steps nearing the destination of the voice
his feet stopped in their tracks when his eyes landed on the same brunette boy's back. who quickly turned around staring at hyunjin "again?" hyunjin muttered sighing it felt as if ever since he's bumped into this guy his peace was destined to be ruined "again..." felix muttered looking down then back up when he saw hyunjin taking steps near him
he stared at the taller male with his pretty eyes watching him get closer to him now standing right in front of him "this is yours I'm assuming" hyunjin spoke taking out a necklace from his pocket, felix gasped snatching the pendant away from the other's hands
"oh my god" he whispered clenching tight onto the pendant then quickly putting it around his neck "thank you so much! how did you have it?" felix asked. his fingers still wrapped around the key as he stared at hyunjin with wide eyes "it was stuck on my bracelet" the raven head explained
before felix could thank him further the necklace dropped from his neck once again making him look down in panic "it's broken" hyunjin muttered which brought a pout over Felix's lips "oh no" he whispered getting the pendant off the ground, felix bit his lips staring at the broken necklace trying to find a way to mend the two ends together
Hyunjin watched him struggle, something inside of him found the brunette cute as he fixated his eyes on the necklace a cute pout smeared on his pretty lips his brunette hair scattered all over his eyes and forehead, tiny fingers holding the broken locket together. he sighed not being able to bear the discomfort Felix's failure in fixing the necklace brought over him
"give it to me" he uttered
