chapter 11

the next morning
Hyunjin's pov
I woke up to the smell of coffee brewing. I walked into the kitchen to see Felix sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand and one on the table for me. "Good morning! I thought you would never wake up" We both giggled and I took a sip of the coffee. "Hmm, this is actually really good" He looked at me and said "Yahh! Don't act so suprised" He tried to look intimidating but I just burst into laughter.

We sat at the table and talked while sipping out coffee. I could tell something was on his mind but I wasn't sure what. Then I remember what happened last night and it all flooded back to me. "We can talk about it" He looked at me slightly confused when I said this but he soon realized what I meant. "I just don't want to overstep any boundaries." He held my hand and played with my fingers.

"Seriously it's totally fine." I slightly smiled at him. "Well has long has this been going on? Also, have you seen anybody to help?" He looked at me and squeezed my hand. "I started to hear the voice in my head when my mother was first diagnosed. The self harm didn't start until it got more and more serious." I looked at him expecting him to be disappointed in me for cutting myself. Instead he looked worried.

"Your the first person to know about this. Can you not tell any of the others?" He responded by saying "Of course Hyunjin, I'm always here for you" I smiled and he returned the expression. We went our separate ways for the day. I went to the hospital to spend all the one I could with my mother.

At the hospital

I walked into her room and she greeted me. I could tell she was drained of all energy I spent all day at the hospital with her. It was mostly just me talking about my life and her nodding while listening. Until she asked me "Soo, who was that boy with you last night? I didn't recognize him" She looked at me and slightly smirked. "His name is Felix. We met a few days ago and became friends" I smiled thinking about the boy. She noticed this and raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure he just a friend?"

I was a little shocked by this question. I mean I never fully came out as gay but I had a feeling my mother knew. "I'm not really sure honestly. The connection I have with him is different. I trust his so much even though I've known him for such a short period of time." When I finished talking, I had a huge smile on my face. I finally admitted to myself that I like Felix. "I like Felix, Mom. I like him a lot." She also had a smile on her face. "Honey if you love this boy. Trust me, do anything you can for him. Never give up on love." After hearing my mother's words, it made me rethink things.
