Love, Not War (Book 2)

Chapter 86

"Did Chan deceive me, Jeongin?" Felix cried as he tugged on Jeongin's hand. "Please, you have to tell me. Has he been pretending to love me? Did he use me to get revenge on my dad?"

Jeongin didn't know what to say. Felix was asking so many questions at a time that he didn't even know which to answer.

"Please tell me the truth" Felix begged. "Did Chan ever love me? Do I mean anything to him? Did he use me to get revenge? Was any of what we had real? Jeongin, please answer me? Did he use me?"

"Felix I-"

"No excuses!" Felix snapped. "I just want the truth! The Chan use me to get revenge on my dad?"

"I-I- well I don't know-"

"Jeongin!"

"Yes! yes! Fuck yes he did okay!" Jeongin blurted.

Felix went deathly pale and Jeongin started to panic. "L-Look Felix, its not what you think. That was ages ago okay. Chan loves you now. Things are different. You should talk to Chan about this."

But Felix wasn't listening anymore. He remained still, staring into space like a statue. He just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that his father murdered Chan's parents and Chan used him to get revenge. It all sounded like some fucked up movie and he was the unfortunate main character who would suffer before tasting happiness.

Jeongin started to panic. He could already see Chan choking him to death. "Fuck Felix, forget what I just said. That was nonsense. Chris loves you okay. There's nothing he loves in this world but you okay. You're everything to him. Forget what happened back then and focus on now. I swear to you, you're the only person he loves in entire life. Felix-

"Shut up" Felix grumbled. He sat back on the ground and buried his face in his palms. He didn't know what to do. On one hand, his dad was imprisoned by the man he loves. On the other, the man he loves used him to get revenge. He didn't even know which one to focus on.

But then, he recalled the sweet yet heated moments he shared with Chan in the morning. The way Chan held him and kissed him. The way Chan clung to him and listened to his every word. Chan even slept outside his door just to make sure he was okay last night.

He could recall the time when they fell off the stairs together and Chan protected him by cushioning his fall. How attentive Chan has been to his likes and dislikes. He even knew what he liked to eat and drink. Chan knew the kind of movies he liked to watch and the kind of music he liked to listen to. Chan helped him win the volleyball game and also protected him from Yeo-sang. With Chan around, he didn't even need to lift a finger.

If that wasn't love then Felix didn't know what was.

It was as Jeongin said. He should talk to Chan first. No overthinking.

Felix raised his head and took out his phone but before he could dial Chan's number, he received a text from an unknown number.

It read; 'If you want to know about your past, meet me in the abandoned building behind your school tomorrow. 2 pm'

The message was weird due to the fact that he didn't know who sent it. It could be someone that just wants to take advantage of him. Besides, he had already made up his mind to talk to Chan so there was no need to hear shit from other people.

He quickly replied; 'Go to hell'

Jeongin on the other hand was freaking out. He thought Felix was going to do something drastic. Despite the warning from the doctors, Jeongin knew he had to tell Felix at least part of the truth to make him stay.

"Uh Felix, H-How about we go somewhere else?" he asked as he stood up. "I'll tell you everything you want to know okay. Just don't run away"

Another text came from the same unknown number; 'Don't you want to know what your beloved Chan is hiding from you?'

Felix snorted and sent 'Eat shit'. He even added a few poop emoji and immediately blocked the number then deleted the messages.

"I've already said I'll tell you everything you want to know" Jeongin said. "You can't still be thinking of leaving are you?"

Felix's finger hovered over Chan's number, wondering why Jeongin was suddenly willing to talk. He gazed at him suspiciously and raised a brow. "Really? You'll tell me everything? Including what happened to Jisung?"

"Yes yes as long as you won't do whatever stupid shit you're planning" Jeongin quickly answered. It was the only way to remain in Chan's good book. "Anyway, It won't be right to have this conversation here"

Felix took a look around and noticed that they were in an alley and it was getting dark so he reluctantly agreed, wiping his face with his palms. "I think I saw a bar around the corner. It should be okay to talk in there"

Jeongin nodded then helped Felix carry the heavy backpack. And so, the two of them walked silently to the bar.

Right across the street, the window to a black Jeep rolled down and two people watched as Felix and Jeongin walked down the street.

"I thought you said he'll definitely fall for it" Beomgyu said to the man wearing a face mask in the driver's seat. "He just told me to eat shit and blocked my number"

The man wearing the mask chuckled. "This is new. The Felix I knew would have agreed immediately. When did he start trusting people?"

Beomgyu scoffed. "That's the least of my problems. What do we do now? He's not taking the bait"

"We just have to send him a little appetiser and he'll come running" the man replied. "Don't worry. By the time I'm done with Felix, he won't even want to hear Chan's name. Chan will be all yours"

Hearing that, Beomgyu smiled then opened the door and stepped out. "Alright. I'll be waiting for further instructions"

The man just nodded and Beomgyu closed the door then walked away.

The man watched the two figures walking down the street and smiled. "You've really changed Lixie. I like this new you but, we'll see how long you can keep up this facade."

He touched the locket on his neck and opened it, staring at the picture of himself, Felix, and Aera. "I'm the only one who knows the real you Lixie." He rubbed Felix's face with his thumb and smiled eerily. "I'm the only one who can love you for who you are. Sooner or later, you'll come to realise this and don't worry, I'll be waiting for you with open arms."
