Addiction

I'm tired of being careful, gentle.

A good 30 minutes has passed by. Hyunjin was still buried deep into the younger's neck.

The silence has grown thick and not even small voices from outside was heard anymore. It confused Jeongin but he assumed they were just taking their time and pace.

As they were cuddling on the older's bed Chan send him a pretty picture of some mountains.

Jeongin admired the picture before responding to it. He love the fact that Chan sends pictures to him even though it's a business trip. His heart melted knowing the older was still making space for him despite all the work he probably had piling up.

A knock was heard from the door as Felix appeared behind it with a soft smile on his face.

"He fell asleep..but he said he wanted to speak with Hyunjin in private...I took that as a sign to leave..are you going to stay? My boyfriend can drive you home" Felix quietly spoke.

The younger smiled and looked down at the now fast asleep older. He looked back up st Felix before nodding his head.

It has been a pretty wild night, and maybe leaving them be wasn't the best choice, but he did know how frustrating it is to communicate with someone is, and he knew they needed their own private space for them to talk in.

Jeongin managed to wiggle himself out of Hyunjin's tight grib and proceeded to place a plushie for the older to hug.

Smiles crept on both of their faces as they spotted Seungmin fast asleep on the couch. His face was puffy and swollen, probably from all the crying.

As they walked down the stairs Felix spoke.

"Jacob is Seungmin's ex boyfriend..their relationship wasn't healthy, it was one sided, toxic and abusive...".

Jeongin listened as the older spoke further.

"Jacob wasn't loyal..he didn't show Seungmin any sign of love, and would often come back home late at night with all sorts of hickeys on his neck..Seungmin didn't like that at all and was rather starting to get possessive over Jacob..everyday when he went to school he would spot Jacon talking to a girl and make a whole scene about it..Jacob eventually started to turn more violent and abusive, he would hit Seungmin whenever he would complain about how close he was with other girls..Seungmin ended up at the hospital after Jacob had thrown a vase at his face..he later on tried..killing himself" Felix finished.

They were now leaning up against the red brick wall as they just reached outside. The wind was cold and breezy but comfortable at the same time.

"I-..I really don't know what to say.." Jeongin responded, shocked over the story the older had just told him.

"Seungmin has actually reached really far in life..the first five months, after he got out of the hospital, he wasn't really himself..he would stare off into nothing whenever he saw sharp objects...he only spoke in monotone and never had any expression on his face..he practically turned into a robot" Felix stated clapping his hands together as he tried to warm them up.

"That's why he moved to our school?" Jeongin asked.

Felix nodded in response as he smiled.

"He became more of himself after meeting Hyunjin..he only spoke about Hyunjin, and about hoe he really like the older..though he also spoke about a certain person he didn't like...you" Felix stated with a slight laugh, he found Seungmin's jealousy a bit funny and childish but he really couldn't blame him.

"Yeah..we had a rough start" Jeongin joined in laughing as they started joking around about different stuff.

They didn't really mind how loud they were, they just enjoyed fooling around as they waited for the older's boyfriend.

And as thought, a car pulled up beside them, rolling down the window as a whistle was heard.
