The Ashes On The Floor

        ◆•Hyunjin's Pov•◆

I look at him and lean in as if I was about to kiss him. He closed his beautiful eyes like he was expecting it. Seems like he has stopped covering his freckles. It really does suit him. My heart was pounding out of my chest as I looked at him as his lips were close to mine.

Kiss him damn it, don't be a coward. I chickened out and pulled away to not be so close to his handsome face. I took his small hand in mine and kissed his fingertips lightly like a feather. "Sealed with a kiss" I winked at him, smirking a little.

I tried to divert the attention away from the almost kiss. "So how are things with your father?" I could tell that hit a weak spot as his smile slowly drooped down. He looks down at the grass which he used to do when it used to be bad. Like filtering things out kind of way.

He shakes his head "I don't know how much longer I can continue to live in fear and in complete mental agony." I feel so bad for Felix. He deserves nothing but the world but here he is getting abused and he's just taking it.

I left him in that situation. Is that why he took on the job as an star tour guide when it's dark and doesn't have to deal with his father? But he should be well enough off to pay bills now right?

"How about this, you give me your phone number and you can text or call at any hour." He nodded as I gave him his car keys back. Our hands were still touching for a moment as our eyes met each other once more.

The tension got to us for sure but how long will one last before they give in? May the official games begin I guess. I handed Felix my phone for him to program the number in as my heart is racing a little bit too much for me to type. The last thing I want is to make this a bit too obvious.

He drives me back to the studio as I say bye to him. I can guarantee this isn't the last time I have seen him. I grabbed my bag and started walking to the parking garage where I got into my car and drove back to the apartments.

The next morning

I get out of my bed slowly rubbing my eyes. It's just so hard to find my get up and go kind of thing. I pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a shirt that I found in my closet.

I then walked to the door entrance where my shoes are perfectly lined up. I chose my lucky sneakers but I have a feeling that even that won't do much good. I grabbed the apartment keys from a blue porcelain bowl and walked out the door locking it behind me.

It wasn't that far of a walk to the landlord's office since I do live on the first floor which is kinda a plus on my end since I tend to dance even during the day.

"Hyunjin, how are you? I feel like you never try to stop by?" Why is he being so friendly? Han is his last name, I never did ask his first name but oh well. This man is probably not that much older than me, I remember him saying something about his father giving the business to him, I don't know.

"Well my friend is looking for an apartment to stay in, is it possible that you have another apartment available?"

He turned on his computer then started typing things in. He sighs and shakes his head. "No can do there. We are fully occupied. But I can call you when there is a opening here." Shit, there has to be some sort of loophole. I don't want him living with his father any longer. Then an idea popped into my head.

"So how many people can I have in my apartment?" The landlord looks at me strange. Almost as if he was confused and curious at the same time.

"Mm 2 people per apartment" Bingo.

•◇Felix's Pov ◇•

Hyunjin's name shows up on my screen. Meet me at this address. I texted okay. I pulled it up in my GPS. Nice neighborhood obviously, I headed towards my car and drove to the location.

Hyunjin was standing outside of this 4 story building complex that kinda looked like a hotel more than anything. It had glass windows for the lobby, which is kinda fancy.

Hyunjins face lit up once I got out of the car. I walk towards him "Yeah, whatcha need Hyun?" It's a nickname that I call him just to annoy him sometimes.

"Your moving in with me." Did he just say what I thought he just said? Move in with him? That's like passion hell on steroids.

"Why? Getting lonely?" I teased him. I'm trying to see how far he will go without flirting. Probably not too much longer, right?

"I'm Lix deprived" He laughs a little "But in all seriousness, it's not a joke about the moving in part. I done called your cousin to get you things and bring it here"

My cousin? How the hell- oh wait, he got Matt's number at that one family gathering that he went to. More importantly, he still had the number in his phone?

"Okay, is there anyway I can help out with the bills or something like that?" Hyunjin thinks for a moment as he drums his fingers on his thigh lightly. He does that when he is nervous and thinking or at least that's what it used to mean.

"Oh be my cook and I'll help you along the side. That's pretty much it. I mean I can keep up the bill side."

"Are you sure? I mean it is a lot of more responsibility than what you are used to like higher bills. I can at least pay for groceries" he shakes his head and looks at me straight in the eyes

"Just you being here and me knowing that you are safe helps me alot more than paying some bills will."
