Love, Not War (Book 2)

Chapter 21

"Because I will rather die than forget him not to talk of giving my heart to someone else"

He didn't know why but his heart throbbed. He felt as if the 'Felix' being talked about was him. He sighed. How nice it would be to be loved by someone like that.

Christopher Bang....

Felix wondered why he was interested in a man he had never met before. All Chan did was save him when he was about to fall. Now that he saw him in the station, now that he properly saw his face, his heart couldn't stop racing. He felt somewhat giddy and eager to see Chan again.

He felt a small hand tug his shirt, breaking off his thoughts. He looked down at the kid who's hands were now empty. "What is it JJ?" he asked.

The cutie smiled, showing his pearly white teeth. He was a cabon copy of Jeongin. Everything was the same except the fact that JJ was a lot cuter and is a kid.  "Baby, I want more cookies" he said, giving the cutest smile he could muster.

Hearing that nickname, Felix frowned, displeased. "You're still calling me that"

JJ nodded, still smiling. "Of course! Dad calls daddy that every time. And when I asked him why, he said it's because he loves daddy the most! Well, I love Felix the most so Felix is baby!"

Hearing that explanation, Felix wished Jeongin was present so he could smack that head of his. Maybe his brain will reset. How could he teach a 6 year old child such words?

But then, JJ was too cute to refuse so Felix fished out another cookie from a jar on BM's table and gave it to JJ. "This is the last one you're having" he warned. "Too much sugar will make your teeth rot and nobody likes a guy with rotten teeth"

JJ frowned, seeming to be in thought, then he asked, "Will baby not like me too?"

Felix's brow twitched due to annoyance but he still answered. "Of course. I don't like boys with rotten teeth"

"Then take it back" he said, quickly handing Felix the cookie. "I don't want my teeth to rot"

Felix was stunned. Did JJ like him so much? What a cute sweet kid. Felix ruffled his dark hair and smiled. "Don't worry. You can have this last one okay?"

"My teeth won't rot?" he asked, looking doubtful.

"They won't. I promise" Felix said and only then did JJ eat it.

A knock was heard then an officer opened the door. "The coast is clear sir" he said then closed it.

Felix knew that was his cue. After all, Officer BM stopped him from going out while Chan was still there. He stood up and JJ followed suit. "Thanks for taking care of JJ. We'll be leaving now"

Officer BM smiled. "It's no problem. You can drop him here anytime. He's a good kid"

After some more nice words, Felix took JJ's hand and they went out of the office. They bid goodbye to some of the officers they recognised then walked towards the exist.

Chan was about to unlock his car when he remembered that he hadn't taken Taehyun's belongings from the police. He knew that stuff such as phone, keys, and ID cards must have been confiscated so he turned back and went up the short flight of stairs. He reached out a hand to open the door when it was suddenly swung open and the edge came in contact with his face.

Chan felt a burst of pain and he groaned, using his palm to touch his nose. His eyes watered and his sight went hazy.

"Oh my God I'm sorry!" he heard a familiar voice exclaim. "Shit, are you okay?"

The person hurried towards Chan and because he was hit, Chan's footing wasn't stable. Chan felt a pair of hands touch his arm and he tried to move away but slipped. He reached out and blindly dragged the person along.

Feeling nothing but air behind him, Chan's eyes widened and in that split second, he saw a face he has desperately longed to see for the past five years.

Everything suddenly went in slow motion for Chan.

The sun was shining brilliantly, making the tiny particles in the air shimmer and glimmer around them. It was like something out of a fairytale. Chan couldn't take his eyes away from the person in front of him. The brown hair came down in waves around his face, making him look like an angel. His beautiful round brown eyes were widened in shock and fear. There were freckles sprinkled over the nose and cheekbones. Those small plump lips were open, as if shouting something but Chan couldn't hear a thing.

He could only stare at that beautiful face, shell shocked. The face he had seen within a coffin, pale and lifeless.

"Felix?" he whispered as his heart skipped a beat.

With quick reflexes, Chan hugged Felix to his body, burying Felix's face in his chest then protected the back of Felix's head with one hand while the other held his waist tight.

Both of them rolled down the stairs but Chan angled his body in a way that he would bear the brunt of the fall. They landed at the foot of the stairs with Felix on top of Chan, well protected and not injured in the slightest.

With a pounding heart, Felix remained in Chan's arms, scared shitless. Holy fuck! He just opened the door. He didn't think someone will be right outside. Fuck!

Felix tried to remove himself from the person's hold but it was impossible. The arm was wrapped around his waist like a vice. The hand over his head was pressing him down with a lot of strength. Felix felt like he was an ant under a shoe.

"Felix..." he heard the person whisper and he froze. How did the man know his name? Felix didn't take a good look at him earlier because he was panicking and the man had covered his face with his palm. Felix tried to help but before he knew it, he was falling then his face was stuffed to the man's chest. Who could it possibly be?

"Felix..." he whispered again. His voice was hoarse and choked. His tone was desperate and laced with deep unfathomable longing.

These went into Felix's ears and hit his heart straight. It was like he could feel the desperation of the person in his bones. But then, who was he?

"Felix..." the man beneath whispered once again then his arms went lax. He was still holding Felix but there was no strength like before. Felix was able to free himself. He quickly pushed himself up and when he saw the person beneath him, he felt like he was electrified.

Holy fuck!

It was Christopher Bang!
