To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

One Place To The Next

"You don't seem very happy." I was at my locker with Felix attached to my back.

"You can't even see me." He pouted.

"Yeah, but your arms are loose around me so that's how I know." I made it a point to learn all of Felix's mannerisms and to know what type of mood he's in. I refuse to be delusional like I once was. Now I'm at a Sherlock Holmes level.

"That's...anyway, Minho is leaving for college and he didn't tell me until last night."

I turned around inside his loose grip and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry, baby. I know that's gonna be hard for you." I was upset by the news as well. Minho is one of my closest friends. "But at least you'll still have me." I tried to be optimistic. He just nodded and tightened his grip around my waist. "How far is he going?"

"Busan." He whined. Busan is over three hours away so I'm sure that'll be rough.

"Well how about I come over later," I gave his forehead another quick kiss, "and we can cuddle," then another, "and maybe it'll help you feel better. What do you think?" He slowly nodded with his bottom lip sticking out just a bit.

"Jinnie, can you take me home?"

"Of course."

Luckily, it was the end of the day so we could head towards the student parking lot whenever. I should take him home every day considering our time together is slightly restricted.

He held onto my pointer finger with his whole hand and faintly swung our arms back and forth. He's wasted absolutely no time trying to get us back to the way we used to be. I wouldn't have it any other way.

"What time do you think you'll come over?" He asked as I opened the passenger door for him.

"I'll have to let you know." I turned the car on and pulled out of my spot. "My parents were kinda pissed I snuck out and came home so late."

"Do you think they'll let you out of the house today?" I was glad he didn't immediately insult my parents. That seemed to be popular these days.

"I'll tell them I'm going to Minho's house." It seemed like an easy plan.

"That works."

We drove in comfortable silence after that. I couldn't help but kiss the back of his hand every ten seconds, I couldn't get enough of him. I somewhat felt like I needed to make up for lost time. We were only apart for a month, but it felt like years. I hated that feeling and I hope I never experience it again.

"Okay, angel." I parked in front of his house, glad I could finally turn to him and place kisses all over his face. He smiled and laughed at my sudden burst of affection, but I had been holding it in since we got in the car. "I'll see you later. I love you."

"I love you." Felix repeated and kissed me once more.

I was finally on my way home. Although I haven't talked to Wooyoung since last night, what he told me to do was still stuck in my head. I never want to disobey my parents again, who knows what'll happen the next time I do. But if no one's home, what's the worst that could happen?

"I'm home." I said loud enough. No one answered. I walked over to the fridge and found a note my mom stuck on there with a magnet.

Hyunjin,

Going to the grocery store. Be home soon.

Mom

What are the odds?

My dad is at work so he won't be home any time soon either. If I'm going to do it, I need to do it now and fast.

I stood in front of my parent's closed door and took a deep breath, trying to mentally prepare myself.
