The drive was quiet. Entering the hotel was quiet. The elevator ride was quiet.
It was quiet.
As they reach the fourth floor, Hyunjin held Felix's hand and pulled him over to his room.
Tapping his phone against the censor it unlocked. The two enter and Hyunjin closed the door.
"Go sit down," Hyunjin muttered.
"Professor Hwa-"
"Just sit down, please,"
Felix sat down on the bed and clasped his hands in front of him.
He heard some rustling then Hyunjin came out with a first aid kit.
"I'm fine," Felix said.
"You're still bleeding, it needs to be treated," Hyunjin stated, sitting on a footstool for the armchair.
Hesitantly, Felix took the sweater off. Hyunjin didn't even flinch when he saw all the scars, he just held Felix's hand as he cleaned the open cuts.
He cleaned them and bandaged them properly then closed the kit.
"What did he say to you?" Hyunjin questioned.
"It doesn't matter anymore, it's over,"
Hyunjin took a deep breath, there were so many emotions brewing inside of him that it was hard for him to think rationally.
"It does matter, Felix. He got you a point where he knew if he laid his hands on you, you wouldn't tell me, you wouldn't tell anyone. What did he say?"
"I was clean for six years and it all went away the other night," Felix said, cover the bandage with his hand.
Hyunjin's eyes softened and his heart fell, "The night you went on that date with him?"
Felix nodded, Hyunjin reached over and wiped Felix's tears.
"Felix, what did he say?" Hyunjin asked softly.
"It's fine,"
"No, it's not,"
Felix took a deep breath, "He knew everything about my past. My cousin, my parents, the hospital, he knew things that would have only been accessible to my doctors, to the attorney that my brother has for me... he just knew so much and he said he would tell you.
I just decided to do what he said, because I didn't want you to know or for him to tell you. I didn't want you to look at me differently, because you are the only person in my life who doesn't act like I'm some porcelain doll that could break.
You don't treat like a kid and I knew if you found out about the other things, it would all change and you would or you would think I was gross or I don't know. I just didn't want you to know," Felix let out.
Hyunjin held Felix's hand with one hand and wiped more of his tears, "I don't think I could ever look at you different, Felix. I just wish that you told me about this, I would done something,"
"I was scared and I didn't want this to get it the way of what we needed to do especially for Yeji and Juni,"
Hyunjin was about to say something, but there was a knock at the door.
Hyunjin sighed and went over to the door.
"So, something was bothering me about Winslow, so I decided to go into his work email and I found some things regarding Felix,"
"Yeonjun, now really isn't the best time," Hyunjin said.
Yeonjun glanced behind hyunjinnand winced seeing Felix, "Okay, I know it may not be, but like you really need to see this,"
"Okay, hold on,"
Hyunjin closed the door and turned to Felix.
"Are you okay with him going over this? Do you want to be in here?" Hyunjin asked.
Felix nodded, "I just need my sweater,"
"Here, use this one,"
Hyunjin handed Felix one of his own and Felix put it on.
"I'll get you a new sweater when we get back to Jersey," Hyunjin said.
Before Felix could say anything, Hyunjin opened the door.
"Okay, what is it you found?"
"Things that could get a few people in trouble," Yeonjun said.
