HYUNJIN | FELIX
Reaching Wooyoung's home, I quickly ran upstairs and collapsed on his bed face-first. The softness of his purple velvet sheets made me feel warm and relaxed, something I truly needed after the rollercoaster of emotions I've experienced so far.
"Do you want some snacks and banana milk?!" Wooyoung shouted from downstairs.
"Yes please!"
Sitting up in his bed, I checked my phone and noticed unread messages in our group chat. Unlocking and opening it, I saw concerns coming from the other three in our group.
"Feel better Lix!" -Han
"If you need anything, I can get it for you after school!"- Hongjoong
"We'll come by once school is over, so rest up! I'll tell our teacher you're not feeling well, don't worry."-Yeosang
"Our friends are great, hmm?" Wooyoung asked with a smile, hands filled with chips and banana milk as requested. I nodded, taking my share of food to munch on quietly. The room was filled with silence, a comfortable atmosphere surrounded the two of us in his spacious room.
"I'm sorry..." I said softly. "I didn't mean to make you leave school because of me."
Wooyoung scoffed playfully. "Lixie, any excuse I can get to not go to class, I'll take it. I know today was a lot for your first day of school here, so I don't mind doing whatever I can to help you through it. I'm so proud of you..."
Tears started welling up in my eyes and a few escaped onto my cheeks. "I j-just feel so b-bad..."
He shushed me and pulled me into his arms. "Stop it. Remember when we first shared our struggles and I told you about the daily panic attacks I had because of it? What did you tell me?"
"To just take it one day at a time..."I mumbled.
"Exactly! So, I'm saying the same thing to you. Lixie, you just need to take it one day at a time." He smiled. "No matter what, I'll always be here for you. Alright?"
I nodded, letting myself relax into his embrace without any further hesitation. We stayed in this hold for a few minutes before he broke the silence with the question I was dreading to answer.
"Although...if I may ask... what exactly triggered your reaction...?"
"Hyunjin..."
Wooyoung pulled away and stared at me with rage in his eyes. "What did that asshole say to you...?"
Looking down, I felt the itchy sensation on my skin creeping up again, but I tried to ignore it. Sighing, I answered. "He saw my tray of food with the fruits and bread roll...asked me if that was all I planned on eating...then said that was the reason I was so skinny..."
