chapter 14

Hyunjin was on the way to the casino he tracked Felix in. Call him crazy, but he couldn't close one eye the entire night as his mind raced continuously with thoughts surrounding the blonde. He felt like throwing up the entire time he shifted in his bed, crumbling the sheets out of frustration.

    Luckily for him, Felix was still in Italy. At least, that way he didn't have to travel so far to get to him. He just wants to talk to him... or just see him. He doesn't know why, but he does. And Hyunjin knows he'll regret this, he probably seems very desperate right now. But he needs to see Felix.

    The assassin knew it was a rash and impulsive thing to do, but he was restless and reckless. His head held a hood on his head, hiding him away from the world as he kept his gaze on the ground while he followed the path that led to the casino where Felix was situated. His belt held two guns for protection in case anything happened.

    His heart beat was so loud and agitated in his chest, he could hear the detail of every thump echoing in his ear. Excitement rose through his body, sending all the blood to his head as he found himself standing in front of the building.

    Hyunjin's throat went dry with anticipation as he began rethinking his decision and wishing to leave. But he was already here, what was there to lose? He could feel his skin tingling all over as he imagined Felix's reaction to his presence, followed by his blood rushing to his head. He might faint. The assassin shook his head, sighing out loudly and clenching his eyes shut. He's going in. And he needs to stop acting like a school girl.

The man followed the trail of the hallway, leading him to a secluded clearing where a little bird told him Felix resided in. At some point, his mind went blank, stopping itself from thinking so much of the consequences. He never cared as much about them before, so why is now different? As he kept padding closer to the door, his slender hands reached for the hood covering his head and with bony fingers wrapping around the material, he pulled it down.

    At the door, he was met with two huge buff bouncers, looking down at him through their tinted lenses. The assassin didn't let himself feel intimidated by these two scums, his head held high and his eyes drawn into a perilous narrow. "Move." He growled lowly in his throat, the vocal chords vibrating against each other. "Lee Felix is waiting for me."

    But the two men did not budge. This caused Hyunjin's temper to prickle, one of his eyes already throbbing in annoyance. The assassin shot them a deathly glare, before he placed his hand on one of the guns stacked in his belt.

    This action caused the men to exchange glances with each other before at last moving out of the way, saving Hyunjin some energy. They opened the door for him, leaving way for the assassin to pad freely inside the clearing.

It was silent. The sound of his expensive shoes echoed around the room as he kept a relaxed posture, his head cocked back and his eyes gazing lazily at the filled table, forcing back the raging emotions threatening to surface from beneath the barrier.

The head turned in his direction the moment he walked in, his powerful posture demanding attention. Though, his heart was racing fast at the thought of the blonde who hasn't turned around yet being right in front of him. His chest heaved up as he inhaled in order to calm his nerves, anticipating for Felix's gaze to fall on him at last.

"To what do we owe the pleasure of the Hwang Hyunjin visiting us so suddenly?" Seonghwa's familiar, belittling tone welcome him. A clench was audible in his voice as his eyes turned to slits and shot daggers at Hyunjin.

"And impolitely." Someone muttered next to him with an annoyed grumble.

These words caused Felix's head to snap behind him, at last his widened panicked eyes falling on Hyunjin. This caused the assassin's heart to drop in turn, electrifying emotions surging in his blood and causing goosebumps to arise all over his skin. His breathing became heavy, a sudden weight being placed on his chest the moment their eyes locked. Hyunjin could see his own emotions reflecting in the blonde's mirrors, the way the blonde gulped not going unnoticed by him.
