Felix lay in the pit of darkness of his dreams. He was too tired to have his mind wander too far from where it was now. Flashes of memories good and bad play across the sky as he watched them flicker by before his eyes.

Felix couldn't look away as he saw memories of his family, Chan, and his old life dance in the sky.

The mix of emotions from the flashing memories left him emotional with tears welling his eyes. Beginning to feel the tears fall Felix blinked at the flashing images across the sky and suddenly it froze on one specific image.

Hyunjin.

Staring down at him was the latest memory, Hyunjin feeding him.

The way his raven black hair fell in front of his eyes and how for once Hyunjin didn't look cold, rather caring and concerned. His face was soft and welcoming and almost gave off a warm essence. Although pale and cold something about this image and memory sent a tingling sensation through Felix's body.

Feeling the tears stop he sat up to look closer at the picture in the sky. Hyunjin was beautiful and there was no doubt about that, but now there was something added to his beauty; warmth.

Stepping back from the image Felix could feel that he was holding his breath. Sucking air in slowly Felix could feel his heart pounding in his chest and feel how weak his knees were.

This couldn't be happening.

He wouldn't let it happen, but he knew it was too late.

Flickering his eyes open Felix awoke feeling his heart thumping deep in his chest. Feeling the butterflies start to make their way into his torso Felix rubbed his eyes hoping to distract him from the feelings that his dream left him with.

Reopening his eyes for that morning Felix scooted towards the edge of the bed letting his feet dangle off the side. He already felt so much more energy today than yesterday when he first woke up. Scanning the room he noticed something different. The books, they were all gone. Standing up and beginning to walk to the empty bookshelf, Felix passed the desk and saw something lying there.

Stopping in his tracks he turned his head and saw a piece of paper and charcoal on the desk. Stepping closer he saw that the paper on the desk was filled with little sketches of various things in the room. There was the empty bookshelf, desk, candelabra, and the one that caught his eye the most, his hands.

Picking up the paper to examine more closely he could see the detailed sketch of his hands. The way his knuckles bent and how one open palm had a scar from when the dagger blade cut him open.

There was only one person who could've drawn this and that was Hyunjin.

Feeling his heart skip multiple beats he stared longer and harder at the beautifully detailed sketch. Felix began to wonder what more there was to this new found talent Hyunjin possessed.

Setting the paper back on the desk Felix made his way over to the end of the bed. Folded on the chest that sat by the bed were new clothes. This time a black satin v-neck tunic was folded as well as a pair of black pants. Graciously picking up the clothes Felix walked to the washroom attached to the large bedroom.

Upon entering the bathroom Felix began changing in front of the large mirror that hung from the wall. Slipping the new tunic over his head and pulling the pants up and around him Felix stared at himself. He could see the multiple silver scars on his neck from where Hyunjin bit him.

Walking closer to the mirror to inspect more Felix ran his fingers over the scars on his neck. The way the silver white scars were placed on his neck felt like they belonged there, like they've been there his whole life. Slowly moving his hand away from the scars Felix began to back away from the mirror and out back to the bedroom.
