5 - Mates vs Full Moon

Felix was a bastard. Not that it was a secret. His face was pale beige filled with thousand stars but in his case, a curse. That is what it was and what it will always be. The sooner he accepted it, the better.

He had distinct gray eyes to accompany the abomination of a person that he was. Paired with thin pink lips and lanky figure, he'd perfected looking different. He had asked his mom several times about any bit of information he could get about his father but all he got was an icy stare, lips in a thin line and sometimes, a sentence.

"You're too young to understand and too old to need a father." That was the story at fifteen.

At age five, it had been, "knowing about something doesn't make it easier. Trust me baby, not knowing is better."

He'd ask and ask and ask again, not because he didn't value everything she did in Seoul to make their lives better. After all, he had everything he needed except her time which is to be expected as she spent majority of her day working in different establishments to make sure he had a meal before school and when he got home and before bed at night. That's the price to pay for not being able to hold her as much as he wanted or be a needy child.

Unlike her presumptions, he'd just wanted to know why there wasn't someone else to help her with everything that she took on alone.

The second reason was that he happened to be the only one who couldn't explain the whereabouts of his father at school and had to take on his mother's maiden name. Lee Felix. The Australian Korean with not an attractive quality.

Everything that he was, something to hide and not brag about.

His thoughts floated back to his dorm room. He stayed on the left side of the bed and looked over to the right side, the empty space hadn't changed at all in the last four months. He'd made sure of that. Faint smell of pinewood and rose still cloaked the sheets which gave him a sense of peace.

He stood up and was dragging his feet through his drunk-dazed state when a soft voice stopped him. Hyunjin turned back from the mirror and grinned. "Morning sleepy head", he ruffled Felix hair as he always does before stepping away to pick up his shirt. However, the former stood there for a few minutes.

"I was thinking I'd have to wake you up the hard way. Come on now, don't just stand there. We will be running late if you continue gawking at me."

"Bu-but you are-?" Felix stammered while struggling to get the words out. He couldn't move and apparently, couldn't talk either. This usually happens when his eyes and mind stay awake all through the night, he'd have a Hyuncination. A combination of Hyunjin and hallucination.

"But what? I'm dressed? You can still make it out in time...I think...anyway...shoo." He ended the conversation by shoving Felix slightly towards the community showroom after making sure he picked everything he would need on the way.

It took him three minutes to shower and return as quickly as he could. There was something he always had to avoid; making Hyunjin late despite him waking up early.

When he got back, the latter was fully dressed in black pants and white button-down shirts with the top two buttons left open revealing a bit of pale flesh. He had packed his blond hair to the back, a half bun leaving his signature two strands to fall on either side of his face.

"You have five minutes and then, we will be late," Hyunjin said. 

Immediately, Felix dropped everything and went about fishing out his clothes. He picked up the foundation he had managed to buy a year ago and was about to dab it over his freckles out of habit but a low growl behind him made him pause. The other was staring at him with glowing blue eyes that resembled precious stones. He didn't need to be told twice. He dropped the foundation and focused on combing his blonde bangs to fall over his eyes a little.
