16. coffee

Hyunjin sighed as he leaned against one of the tables while impatiently waiting for the coffees and cakes he was sent to buy. It was taking them so long and he was getting annoyed.

He wanted to go back to Minho's room as soon as possible considering it became his only source of entertainment and he could even admit he grew to like the others he hung out with.

"Can I have one americano to go please?" Hyunjin's eyes shot up at the familiar deep voice and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

An angel. His angel.

He was there, wrapped up in a fluffy sweater and scarf, his freckled cheeks and nose rosy from the cold weather outside and he was very much there and very much real.

He knew he had to act before he lost him forever, but he suddenly couldn't bring himself to do anything. The man was insanely beautiful. Ethereal even. Hyunjin was stuck in his spot, staring like a reindeer in headlights.

He was there. He was right in front of him once again. Hyunjin reminded himself that he had to act, because who knows when would he get another chance.

Fuck I'm doing it-

He took a shaky breath before he walked to the visibly freezing latter.

Felix looked up from his phone as he sensed a presence close to him and immediately locked the screen as a handsome man stared down at him with a shy smile on his full lips.

"Can I help you with something?" Felix asked politely, his cheeks painting even deeper shade of pink.

Hyunjin felt himself warming up at the deep voice of the latter as well as his accent that he found adorable. "Not really. You're just very beautiful."

"O-oh..? Thank you. You're very handsome yourself." Felix cursed at himself for stuttering and quickly looked back down on his phone to make sure he didn't get any new messages from Minho.

It was a habit he developed as soon as their parents parted. He was used to Minho texting him almost every two hours asking if he ate or if he was safe. And Felix cared for him just as much.

The more he was skeptical about this whole 'work thing'. He didn't believe Minho went to work with his friend. It was just something he would never do.

"You think so?" Hyunjin answered with a little grin playing on his lips as he already loved making the smaller flustered. Felix nodded, burying his chin more into the soft material of his scarf to try and hide the blush he couldn't contain.

"You know angel I don't like my phone number anymore, maybe you could give me yours." Hyunjin leaned against a wall that was right next to them and stared down at the angel with a big smile and excited sparkles dancing in his eyes. He was thrilled about the situation to say the least.

He had dreamed of the moment of their meeting for quite some time now, it was almost too good to be true to suddenly have the honor of talking to the latter.

Felix giggled at the cheesy pick up line and nodded once again, outstretching his hand for the latter's phone.

Believe it or not, he didn't get hit on by males as often. Many in Australia knew him, but they also knew about Minho who was like a guardian dog standing right behind Felix every chance he got and scared the potential boyfriends away.

Felix was upset about Minho being so overprotective over him at first, until he decided to date someone behind Minho's back who the older didn't approve of, and very surprisingly got hurt.

"I just want what's best for you Yongbokkie. Men are greedy idiots, they don't know how to treat such a precious person as yourself."

He was rather careful since that break up that broke his heart and trust, but this man looked harmless and charming. Not to mention his ethereal beauty. Felix had never seen anyone like him and he couldn't believe the man even came up to talk to him.
