Monster's Labyrinth ~ Hyunlix

(My Love Mine All Mine • Mitski)

832 days before the incident.

Felix and Hyunjin were walking down the tight path of the pathetic excuse of a park in Seoul. Because of its narrowness Felix and Hyunjin were practically forced to walk close to each other, their shoulders bumping into each other every now and then.

Like always breathing was hard because of the dust but both of them couldn't care less. They were much too enhanced in each other's presence.

They walked on in awkward silence.
While walking Hyunjin made sure to keep the folded hilt of his sword ready to be pulled out in a flash out of his pocket.

But he also watched Felix. Under the dim light Hyunjin could make out the shorter's freckles. Hyunjin looked down and watched Felix's hand so close to his own, yet it was so far. He could just grab it, but at the same time he couldn't.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Hyunjin eventually asked, breaking the silence. Out of habit Felix stopped walking, a surprised expression mantling his face.
"No?" He chuckled awkwardly. "Why?"

Hyunjin stopped too. Realising he was much too far from the younger than felt safe to him he walked closer to Felix, standing in front of him.

"You know... Because of the party and because we had sex already-"
"Oh that is where you're worrying about?" Felix laughed. "Don't worry I barely remember it, I was so wasted." He chuckled. Hyunjin smiled shyly.

"So you barely remember it?" Hyunjin asked.
"I mean I remember the fact that I had sex with you but I don't remember what was said and how it felt and such." Felix chuckled.

Hyunjin sighed. "We'll good because it was fucking cringe now I think back at it." Hyunjin let his head hang between his shoulder blades and lifted up his arms to bury his face in his hands, palming his closed eyelids.

He heard another heartwarming laugh in front of him which caused him to blush even more intensely than he had been doing already.

"Why are you hiding your face?" Felix chuckled.
Hyunjin felt short fingers wrapping themselves around both his wrists. The fingers were warm despite the cold weather. It had a pleasingly warm effect on the latter.

Hyunjin felt the hands pulling his own away from his face. When he let them go Hyunjin felt a slight grazing of Felix's skin against his own which made him feel butterflies in his stomach.

"Oh wow you're really red." Felix chuckled softly. Hyunjin whined in annoyance as he buried his face back in his hands, not planning on pulling away this time.

"Hyunjin?" Felix said softly. Hyunjin hummed a yes in response. "How about we start over new?"

Hyunjin lifted his face from his hands in surprise. He looked at the smiling Felix. Those pretty lines at the side of his eyes. Those freckles almost lighting up underneath the dim lights of the lanterns in the distance. Those eyes that spoke books.

"How about we forget the fact that we had sex already and just start over new? Forget we ever kissed after the amount of alcohol we consumed, though I must repeat I don't remember much of the whole incident." Felix chuckled, more to himself, and Hyunjin smiled along with the younger male.

"How about that?" Felix asked again. Hyunjin smiled.
"I'd love that." He said.
"Ok now let's go home. It's getting cold and it's not safe out here." Felix smiled. Hyunjin nodded and turned around to walk the rest of the path along with Felix.

The whole time Hyunjin couldn't stop glancing at Felix's hand, desperately wanting to hold the soft skin against his. It looked so tiny, so welcoming.

Felix looked up at Hyunjin and noticed the way he was eyeing his hand. Felix smiled and without giving too much thought to it grabbed Hyunjin's hand and interlaced his shirt fingers with the other's longer ones.

Hyunjin almost audibly gasped. He quickly looked forward to hide the forming blush on his cheeks.
Though apparently Felix took his reaction the wrong way.

Feeling a bit disappointed Felix pulled his hand out of the elder's, looking down at his shoes to avoid eye contact with the taller.
"Oh sorry I thought you'd be ok with it." Felix mumbled.

He was surprised though when his hand was grasped suddenly and when he felt fingers interlacing with his again.
"I liked it, don't let go." He heard a small chuckle beside him. Felix smiled, still not being able to find the courage and look up to meet the other's gaze.

Hyunjin slowly rubbed his thumb over the other's hand as they walked along the path, not letting go of each other's hand even though they were both getting sweaty.

"What the fuck is that?" Hyunjin heard a voice to his right say. He looked in that direction but saw nothing.
"Did you hear that?" Hyunjin asked.
"Hear what?" Felix asked with a soft smile.

"Oh dear lord what the fuck have you done." Hyunjin heard it again. Though it came more from in front of him this time. It sounded terrified, the voice. Like the person that spoke was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"There it is again!" Hyunjin stopped walking and turned to look around him. "Didn't you hear that?"
Felix chuckled. "No?" He said playfully.

Suddenly the atmosphere turned darker. Hyunjin turned to look at Felix, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Felix?" He asked, panicky. He turned in circles and watched as everything slowly turned to black.

Suddenly he heard the sound of a cocking gun.

Hyunjin's eyes flashed open, and he immediately saw that the lights in the hallways were still on. Apparently they don't turn those off. People should've realised by now that it's better for the environment to turn those off.

But if hyunjin had been completely honest he couldn't care less, because that was the least of his current problems.

Minho was standing in front of him. He was holding the machine gun, pointing it somewhere in the direction of his left shoulder. Hyunjin's eyes widened.

"Wh-" Hyunjin tried to say, but Minho looked at him so intensely scared and so terrified that Hyunjin immediately shut up.
"Don't. Move." Minho said in a really low whisper. His eyes were completely bewildered and filled with fear. For a moment Hyunjin was sure the latter had gone insane and was about to rip Hyunjin to shreds with the gun.

Hyunjin cocked an eyebrow in confusion, getting scared of the other's behavior, but didn't move like the other had told him to. This seemed like a serious situation.

Suddenly he felt something touch his left shoulder. It sent an unpleasant shiver down his spine. Like ice cold water being thrown over his head. The urge to look in the direction of the touch was tempting, but Minho's piercing and terrified gaze stopped him from doing so.

He felt something else touch his left shoulder. It almost felt like a paw with sharp nails, but Hyunjin wasn't sure because of the thick fabric of his jumpsuit.

He felt the touch getting closer to his neck. Hyunjin really didn't like this. He felt his throat tightening in fear and confusion. He felt a presence getting closer to the side of his face, and Hyunjin could swear he felt a hot breath in his neck.

Suddenly he heard a little chuckle in his left ear. An actual human chuckle. It almost sounded like it was from a little girl, but it sounded much too shrill.

Without thinking about it Hyunjin jerked his head towards the sound. He was met with the most horrific nightmare he wouldn't even be able to dream of.
