Deep End | Hyunlix

Felix's curiosity got the better of him and he had to go visit HH Art, where Hyunijn's art pieces were. He had to practically bribe I.N to give him the name of the art gallery. Though the younger insisted on going with him whenever he decided to go visit. Here they both were outside the gallery waiting to get in. There was a huge crowd waiting to get in with them and Felix was curious why.

"Excuse, do you know whatever one is waiting for?"

"They say that there is a new piece coming in today," Someone in the crowd said.

Felix was even more excited now. He couldn't stop thinking about the art pieces ever since I.N showed them to him the other day. He did some research on his own, but there wasn't a lot of information that he could find.

"Let's hope the crowd isn't too crazy once we get inside," I.N mumbled, getting uncomfortable.

"Looks like they are letting people in sections, so it shouldn't be too much longer for us.," Felix said. "You know you didn't have to come," he said, turning to the younger.

"I know, but I figured, we don't really know if it was a coincidence or not that you ran into the cafe. It's better to just run on the side of caution. Plus it's nice to be out with you," I.N said, shrugging his shoulders.

I.N never really gets to spend a lot of time with the older one on one like this and he was enjoying himself. Felix was a fearless leader, meticulous and had a strong head. Which is what made the older such a great leader. But Felix was also sweet, caring and just a ray of sunshine to be around. He felt the need to protect the older at all cost and he knew that Felix would do the same for any of them.

"Oh good it's our turn next," Felix said, bouncing a little on his feet from excitement.

I.N turned to look at the older and could see how excited he was and smiled to himself. At least he is having fun, he thought. Within the next few minutes they were allowed inside and to say that they were in awe was an understatement.

As soon as you walked in you were met with a beautiful angel statue. It was covered in a black cloth and had red stained hands. Felix couldn't stop staring at it. He got distracted when there was some excited noise around the corner. Everyone inside started rushing over. He and I.N decided to follow and see what was happening.

When they reached the new room there were several people holding a large painting that was covered in a silk black fabric. That must be the new piece, Felix thought. Excitement bubbled up in his stomach and he held his breath waiting for the reveal. There was an audible gasp heard around the room once the fabric was removed to reveal a beautiful painting underneath it.

This one like Hyunjin's others was black and white with red incorporated into it. It was an abstract piece of a person. Felix wanted to get closer to see it, but he had to wait for the crowd to disperse first.

"Let's come back when there's less people," Felix said, turning back to the younger. I.N nodded and they both walked out visiting the other rooms and seeing the other pieces that were around the gallery.

"His style is so beautiful," Felix said.

"It's definitely unique," I.N said, staring at the painting in front of them.

They walked to another piece, this one was of a lone bird with swirls and darkness surrounding it. Felix had the urge to reach out and touch it, but instead grasped his hands together in front of him to stop himself.

"There is just something lonely about them," Felix mumbled.

I.N turned to look at the older. Watching Felix in awe of the art pieces around them. There is definitely something there, he thought. He turned and looked around him and noticed the room where the new painting had been put up was now empty.

"Hey, let's go see the new piece before more people come," I.N said, getting the older's attention.

Felix nodded and they walked over to the room that was now empty. Felix's hands were sweating for some reason and he swallowed the nervous lump that formed in his throat, down. His eyes scanned the large painting, not sure where to look first. He walked closer to it and could see all the brush strokes. He didn't realize he had reached up to touch it.

"Please don't touch," a security guard came up next to Felix and stopped him.

"Oh I am sorry," Felix said, taking a step back. "I-I didn't mean too."

The security guard nodded and walked away. I.N who had been standing back finally walked up to the older. They both continued to look at the painting, the silence filled the air between them.

"You know...it kinda looks like you?" I.N finally spoke up.

Felix looked over at the younger bewildered. "W-what?"

"The painting," I.N said, nodding at the painting in front of them. "It kinda looks like you."

Felix, still shocked, looked back over at the painting. Does it look like me, he thought. Why would it? That would be crazy to think. His heart started to beat faster and he couldn't lie that he could see it too.

Before he could say anything back to the younger, a man walked up to them. "Hello, are you Felix?"

Felix looked back at I.N his eyes wide again, "Umm who is asking?"

"Your presence has been requested. Please follow me." The man said, turning away from them. The two looked at each other, both on guard but decided to follow the man.

Who do you think requested to see them?? Do we think the painting is of Felix?
