The boy underneath the stars // H.J + L.M

Chapter 33

I gasp as I examine the marks on my neck, I knew they were bad but this bad? How on earth am I going to cover this up?

Mentally slapping Minho in the face for doing this to me, I groan. Although my face heats up at the memory of last night.

I try to cover it up with a layer of concealer, but the deep purple of the marks stays visible. I give up, pulling my sweater back on.

Minho insisted on me staying over at his house last night, but I refused. It had been a while since I'd actually eaten together with Jeongin and Felix, and I promised Felix to cook for him once.

I take a look in the mirror, then walking out of the bathroom to greet a sleepy Felix seated on the couch, sulking.

"Hey Lix, slept well?"

"No! I kept thinking about fucking Changbin!" He groans.

"You kept thinking about -fucking-  Changbin?" I raise my eyebrows and his eyes widen.

"What no!! That's not what I meant just, I kept thinking about Changbin. He's so confusing!" The boy is obviously frustrated, whining as he lets himself fall down on the couch, hiding his face in a pillow.

I frown, sitting down next to him. "What do you mean?"

He sits up, and my heart drops at the sight of his tear stained cheeks. "Hey, hey it's okay." I wipe his cheeks, taking him into my arms. He starts sobbing, hiding his face in my chest.

"He's just so confusing." He repeats, "What's confusing Lixie?" I whisper, caressing his hair.

"Well first he acts all rude and makes me feel worthless only to kiss me the next moment! And after that he immediately goes back to being mean but then he suddenly helps me when i'm stressing out about the storm and- goddamnit what does that boy want."

"Wait wait wait, he kissed you?!" The boy takes his head off my chest, nodding furiously.

My eyes widen, "What, when?!"

"At the laser tag game! He was ignoring me so I got annoyed and started walking away but then he suddenly slammed me against the wall and kissed me!!"

"Wow that boy sure loves slamming you against the wall huh?" I chuckle, and an embarrassed smile breaks through his tears.

"But I just don't know what he wants!" He whines, falling back on the couch, staring at the ceiling.

"Well, if he kissed you it must mean he has some kind of feelings for you right?" I sit down next to him, fixing his hair that fell on his forehead.

"Well technically i kissed him, but he did say 'I want to kiss you'. So, I guess, but.. why does he keep acting like this then?"

I'm about to answer when Jeongin comes walking into the room, Felix shaked his head to me, signing for me not to tell him about Changbin.

"hey guys."

"Morning Innie, oh it's your turn to take out the trash." I tell him as he joins us into the kitchen.

He looks up, nodding. "Yeah sure, but could you help me? I can't take Felix out by myself."

Felix jumps off of the couch, throwing a pillow at the maknae. "Yah!"

A 'ping' coming from all of our phones saves Jeongin, and I take my phone out of my pocket to see a new text message.
