Chapter 6: Opening Up? Maybe... (Felix)

While I watch Hyunjin lay on the floor, he suddenly jults up and writes something in his notes.

Once he's done listening to the song, he gets up and restarts it.

As he starts dancing, I can see his passion and precision in every move. I might not be able to hear the music, but his moves encompass everything he wants to convey.

Once done, he starts again with minor adjustments to the original, which makes it even more incapivating.

He stops for a moment as he looks around the room in deep thought.

I watch as his eyes land on a bag. He walks over and pulls out a paper rose, placing it frong and center the the two way mirror.

He starts the dance over again and incorporates the rose into the dance. He starts crushing it until all the peddles lay on the floor as he continues his dance. The tittle maniac like smile he has at one point only makes me giddy to get to know what lies behind those walls he's built up.

Once he's done, he collapses onto the floor, giving me a heart attack. I quickly rush into the room and notice he's just resting.

I watch as he lays there with a smile on his face and can't help but think he's the most beautifully broken person I've ever known.

After a few minutes, he gets up and grads his water with his back turned to me the entire time.

As he turns around, he screams and throws his metal tumbler at my head.

I dodge it just in time, but I am not as lucky when he storms up to me and pushes me.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! THIS IS A PRIVATE PRACTICE! WHY ARE YOU HERE?! ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?! I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" He yells at me in anger, continuesly pushing me. But what shocks me is that his eyes are welling up with tears.

I gently grad his hands to stop pushing me so that it's not too tight and he can get out at any moment.

"Hyung, calm down, please?" I ask softly.

"I-i told you to leave me alone," He slightly whispers with his head down as a tear falls down his cheek.

"Why is that? I already know what happened. And I'm here trying to see if you're okay because I'm worried about you. You haven't been to the dorm in a week, or at least that's what it seems like," I say till, holding his wrists gently. He hasn't tried to break free, so I hope that's a good sign.

"Why do you care? I've been nothing but mean to you and your friends, and I purposely go out of my way to avoid you and squirrel boy. You don't even know anything about me or me you... but why does it feel like I've known you my whole life? I-i don't understand... i-in my dreams, you're a masked demon killing people, but in reality, you're really sweet... who are you?" His eyes slowly close as he pulls his wrist out of my grasp...

Is he having dreams, too?

"Your dad didn't only lock you in that freezer after beating you... he raped you first and then locked you in. He had been raping you since you were seven, but you never told anyone. When you started having nightmares, your mom would put crushed sleeping pills in your food, and that was the only time you ate. You never ate at school in fear your parents would find out and treat you worse... No one told me these things, Hyunjin. I have dreamt all of this since we met, but until Seungmin told me what happened to you, I didn't put two and two together. You're not having your usual nightmares, are you? They're of me killing people doing bad things, aren't they?" The more I go on, the more he looks shocked. He stamers for a bit before falling against the wall and hugging his legs.
