"Stop looking already Hyunjin !" said the Australian on the verge of tears.

Hyunjin ran off downstairs, shocked by his behavior. He starred and analyzed unintentionally the small boy's features and got mad again, at himself, he knew he surely made the boy feel very uncomfortable.

" I need to apologize" he thought. Right after that, a small voice was heard coming from upstairs. It was Felix.

"Hey Hyunjin...can you come upstairs, please.."

When it came to the aussie, he was more than embarrassed and was a blushing mess desperately trying to put on his sleep wear as fast as possible, but more than that, he was scared.

Hyunjin did as told and slowly entered the bedroom. He saw Felix sitting on the lower part of the bed, he looked worried. The model took a seat next to him.

The truth was, he was self-conscious about the way his body looks. He didn't like his features, not one bit. He tried to hide them all the time, to the point where he rarely went to swimming pools or even at the beach.

Felix was terrified of what Hyunjin would think of what he just saw.

"Felix, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall and- you know...are you okay ? You seem scared.."

Felix took a deep breath and explained to Hyunjin what his situation was.

"Don't worry, I'm not scared, I just don't want anyone, let alone you, to see my body.."

Felix had this fear due to him being mocked for  being a male with soft body features in the past. Despite getting to know the blonde boy the whole day, he still didn't know Hyunjin enough to anticipate wether he would do the same or not.

Hyunjin knew something was wrong.

"I totally get that don't worry Felix, I should've payed more attention where I was going, but, why are you so scared, if you want to talk about it that is, I won't force you to open up to me by any means, okay ? But just know I can listen to you if you feel like venting"

Felix felt as if he could trust the tall boy who genuinely wanted to know why he was frightened. So, he told him everything. About the past constant mocking he endured throughout his years of middle school and high school. The small boy had trouble opening up to people, as he didn't want to be seen as some sort of burden or pity-attention seeker, here, by Hyunjin.

Hyunjin listened carefully to the younger's words. He rubbed Felix's back while he spoke, trying to bring some sort of emotional support to his friend.

That's when the Australian started having tears coming out of his cat-like eyes.

Hyunjin didn't know what to do in a situation like this other than hug him, and so that's exactly what he did without even properly thinking.

Felix felt the embrace of his tall friend and began silently sobbing in Hyunjin's shirt while the elder hugged him warmly. They stayed like this for a long time, until Felix softly broke the bug.

"Hey Felix, I don't think there's anything wrong with your body you know, I seriously mean it"

"Thank you so much Hyunjin, for all you just did, i'll cook lunch tomorrow to show you my gratitude, is that okay ?"

"No no ! Rest. You deserve it, I'll cook for us tomorrow don't worry lix"
Hyunjin hurriedly replied.

"Oh no you're not- I don't want this apartment I just moved in yesterday to burn now !"

Hyunjin did what he did best. Dramatically gasp. Which successfully made Felix chuckle, and made the elder's mission, that was cheering up his friend, be a sucess.
