A Red Rose - Hyunlix

31

Felix's POV

I heard quick footsteps coming down the corridor and entering the bedroom, I started crying again knowing that the break was over. Suddenly I felt a blanket wrap around me and powerful arms wrapped around me. Who was? The body holding me walked out and the freezing air hit my sensitive skin full. I heard a car door open and he propped me into one of the back seats.

-Felix, are you alright?- a familiar voice asked me, he untied my gag to speak.

-W-Who are you?-

-I'm Hyunjin- she said, untied the blindfold that covered my eyes and hugged me tightly. I started crying again as he held me tightly, it was him, he had saved me again.

He got in the car and drove me home. I felt my eyes burn from all the tears that had slipped away and a lump in my throat that wouldn't go away, I couldn't walk from the effect of drugs and alcohol so Hyunjin picked me up like a princess and gently placed me on the bed. He distanced himself for fear of recalling the trauma and sat down on the floor next to me.

-Are you alright?-He asked, I nodded, in the throes of immense tiredness but at the same time the adrenaline of 32 cups of coffee that didn't allow me to sleep.

-Did he try to...abuse you?- he asked cautiously and a tear quickly fell from my eyes, without the courage to look at him I sat on the mattress looking at the sheet on which I was sitting.

-Sorry, I should have forbidden you to leave.- he said putting a hand through his hair. But deep down it was my fault that I really believed I could have a friend worthy of me...

-C-can I hug you?- I asked, I wanted some warmth.

-Are you sure...?-He asked and I nodded. He threw himself on me on the bed, his body towering over me and hugged me like never before, my heart trembled. I heard him cry with his head in the crook of my neck and repeat a series of excuses, but it didn't matter now that I was with him, it was my safe place.

I fell asleep under him, still in his embrace. He was able to give me the peace that I had been waiting for for a long time.

I awoke to sunlight painting streaks of light across the room. I reached out my arm to feel if Hyunjin was still there and found him next to me sleeping peacefully facing me. Suddenly I saw some glimpses of the previous evening projected and I trembled with fear, closing myself like a hedgehog.

Hyunjin opened his eyes and looked at me so cute. He had tousled hair and sleepy eyes, he was beautiful. We looked at each other for about ten seconds and then he reached out to move a lock of hair behind my ear and his heart tightened in a loving grip. He grabbed me by the waist and rolled me towards him squeezing me to his chest. I smiled and snuggled against him, feeling the butterflies in my stomach flutter like crazy.

This was how I wanted to start every day, in the arms of the person I loved, because I had never felt a feeling so strong that it melted my heart, made my legs tremble, drove me crazy and wanted to sacrifice my whole life for him. For Hyunjin.

All the pain, headache and fear of last night disappeared, leaving room only for him, who warmed my heart in a hug.

-How beautiful you are Felix- he suddenly whispered in my ear, making me shiver.

-You're my weak point- he told me in a hoarse and sleepy voice. My heart burst, I felt sparks ignite my eyes, and a shiver made my body tremble. How is it possible that he said these things to me? So out of nowhere? We weren't even in a relationship...Our position could be misunderstood. Our legs intertwined, I was curled up against his chest and he had his arm around me. We weren't engaged. Why did he show me so much affection?

-Why? Why are you doing all this for me?- I whispered, without finding an answer to my questions

-Because you are my life, so stay with me- I gasped at his sweet words.

-I'm not running away- I said laughing

-Know that if you run away I will chase you. If you go to Mars I will follow you there- he whispered to me softly, without knowing that my heart had already melted and was now a mass of feelings that shone in the dark for him.
