Who Knew?

Chapter Twenty-Three

Felix scanned over his outfit one last time before heading downstairs to meet Hyunjin. The taller boy requested that he wear something comfortable, so he wore a simple pair of light blue baggy jeans, a black hoodie, and a black pair of platform converse.

Smiling at his appearance, Felix quickly walked downstairs and into the living room where Hyunjin was waiting for him.

Hyunjin smiled brightly when Felix walked into the room. Hyunjin stood in front of Felix, softly placing his hands on Felix's waist as he spoke, "You look amazing, Felix."

Felix shyly looked down, "This is what I wear every day?"

Hyunjin nodded his head, acting as if he was thinking over Felix's statement. "Well, then I guess that means you look amazing every day."

The shorter boy jokingly pushed Hyunjin off as he said, "Don't we have somewhere to go?"

Hyunjin trailed behind Felix, who was walking to the front door, nodding his head once more. "Well, we do, but I always have time to compliment you."

Felix turned around with an amused look on his face. "You are so flirty all of the sudden!"

Hyunjin shrugged as he opened the front door, stepping aside and letting Felix walk through first. "Don't act like you don't like it."

Felix flushed red, "Whatever! Let's just go."

Hyunjin smiled at Felix's shy demeanor, following Felix out to the taller boy's car.

Felix raised an eyebrow in confusion as Hyunjin drove up to a tall gate, watching as Hyunjin typed in a code, immediately opening the gate. His eyes slightly widened as Hyunjin drove up the long driveway, revealing a large white house.

Suddenly, feeling self-conscious about his casual outfit, Felix warily looked over the beautiful house and property as he questioned, "Hyunjin... where are we?"

Hyunjin chuckled nervously, almost looking embarrassed as he replied, "Well, this is my house. Well, more accurately my parents' house..." Hyunjin's voice trailed off as he pulled up to the house's garage, parking alongside a few other nice cars.

Felix slowly got out of the car, glancing around once more before he turned to Hyunjin. "I mean, I knew that your family must have a lot of money to afford a car like yours, but holy shit! How come you never told me?"

Hyunjin shrugged softly, "I don't really like to brag about it. I'm not close with either of my parents, so I don't ever talk about them either."

Felix frowned, walking over and taking Hyunjin's hand. "I'm sorry, Hyunjin." Felix honestly spoke, "Why don't we get on with our date? I'm really excited!"

Hyunjin squeezed Felix hand once, leading the boy inside the large house. As they walked through the door, Felix started to ask, "What are we do-"

Hyunjin quickly put a finger up to his mouth, signally to Felix that they should be quiet. Felix raised an eyebrow in confusion as Hyunjin glanced around the house.

After a second, Hyunjin lightly grabbed Felix's waist, pulling him so that they would face each other. Hyunjin carefully leaned down to whisper in Felix's ear as he said, "We have to be quiet; I don't want either of my parents to hear us and come down here questioning."

Felix nodded his head, noticing how close they were standing all of a sudden.

Still holding onto Felix's hand, Hyunjin led Felix out through the back door into Hyunjin's backyard.

Hyunjin led them down a small path that was surrounded by several different types of flowers and plants.

The pair walked in silence, slightly swinging their arms back and forth. Felix took in the fresh air, loving the feeling of sun on his face.
