It would be an understatement to say that Hyunjin felt guilty. He felt more than bad, knowing that he unconsciously touched Felix and made him uncomfortable, most of the times he lost sleep to the thought of it. Sometimes, in those sleepless nights, the brunette would grab an old picnic blanket, and go to the rooftop to star gaze, slightly hoping that the blonde would be there, in his normal spot, waiting for him. However, he lost hope quickly, as everytime he would visit the rooftop, Felix would not be there. Yes, it did hurt him to know that he drove Felix away because he couldn't keep his hands to himself when sleeping, but it also hurt to know that Jisung was at fault as well.

On the day of the incident, after work, Jisung confessed to moving Felix to the middle when he was sleeping, as to tease the blonde. Hyunjin wasn't mad at him, of course, he had some right to be, but he just couldn't. The boy was his brother, and he knew the intentions of it, so he didn't beat the boy up about it.

The breeze was getting colder by the days, and winter was ready to start soon, Hyunjin loved the winter, to say the least, even when he was younger he loved it. Yes, there were many pros and cons, but that's the case with everything.

Star gazing was relaxing, though Hyunjin was freezing his ass off, counting how many stars in the sky helped him fall asleep, so it was good in these situations, where he would have his mind wander too much and he would unconsciously stay up till sunrise. As he layed there, the stars in the sky seemed more prominent than usual, and more beautiful, though still, he couldn't even compare the constellations in the sky to the ones on the blonde's face, he preferred seeing those ones more.

It was a few days after the incident, and Hyunjin seemed to never stop comparing things to the short blonde after, or maybe he just started to realise that he compared things to Felix alot, either way, the only thought he had on most days were the little barista boy.

His eyes felt heavier as he continued counting stars, and on star 59, they shut completely, leaving the boy to sleep on the picnic blanket, in the cold breeze. He didn't know how much time passed, but after a while of shivering on his picnic blanket, there was a warmth surrounding him instead. The sudden change of temperature woke the boy slightly, eyes still trying to focus on what was putting on top of him. But before he could think, a familiar dark voice was heard "Oh, shit. Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up, you were just shivering so I gave you a blanket." Hyunjin's eyes then started to focus on the figure kneeling next to him, and once they did, he let a a puff of happiness, and relief, both due to the fact he finally was warm, and the fact he could see Felix again. The thought stopped, as he noticed that the sky was no longer dark, but instead, a hazy orange colour. This only made the boy's eyes widen in concern.

"Please tell me this is sunrise not sunset." Hyunjin looked at the blonde, eyes still full of worry, making Felix chuckle "All I'm saying is I wouldn't be here if it was turning morning" The artist groaned, placing his forehead on his palm, making the barista tilt his head. "Have you been here the whole day?" He asked, with a hint of concern, and Hyunjin nodded. Felix's eyes widened "Seriously? How are you still living without any warmth? Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

Questions filled the air as the blonde moved his hands towards Hyunjin's, clasping both of his hands in between his own, stopping his questions when he realised how cold they were. "Jesus christ you hands are freezing! You're gonna get sick being here. What were you thinking?" Felix looked at the brunette, and noticed how his eyes were glued to there hands, as his ears were slightly red. The blonde looked down, seeing how his two hands weren't big enough to completely envelope the brunette's hands with warmth, and blushing at the size difference.
