Hyunjin's pov:

Each mark told a story of pain endured, a silent testament to the struggles he had faced. Despite my initial shock, I forced myself to remain calm, offering him a reassuring smile as I traced my fingers lightly over the raised skin.

"Felix," I murmured softly, my voice filled with concern as I met his gaze. "Are you okay? Did someone hurt you?" My mind raced with a thousand questions, but I knew better than to press him for answers. Instead, I focused on offering him the support and comfort he needed in that moment.

Felix's expression softened at my words, a sad smile playing at the corners of his lips. "It's... it's complicated," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper as he avoided my gaze. "Please I don't want to talk about it right now."

I nodded, accepting his words even as a nagging sense of worry gnawed at the back of my mind. "If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you," I said gently, my voice filled with sincerity. "But for now, let's focus on getting you cleaned up, okay?"

He nodded.I could sense the weight of his unspoken burdens lingering in the air between us.  With a gentle smile, I reached for the bottle of bubble soap kept on the shelf, my fingers lingering over the colorful packaging as I turned to Felix. "Hey, Lix," I said softly, my tone playful yet reassuring. "Do you mind if I add this? I think it'll be relaxing for you."

Felix's lips twitched into a small smile at my suggestion, though a hint of reluctance lingered in his eyes. "But Hyunjin," he protested weakly, his voice tinged with embarrassment. "I'm not a child. I don't need bubbles in my bath."

I chuckled softly at his response, finding his stubbornness endearing. "Come on, lix," I teased gently, my tone coaxing as I held out the bottle to him. "Trust me, okay? I promise it'll be fun." After a moment of hesitation, Felix relented, a soft sigh escaping his lips, "Fine, but only because you asked so nicely," he grumbled playfully, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.

I grinned triumphantly, adding the soap bomb to the water and watching with delight as colorful bubbles began to form all around us. "See? Isn't this fun?" I exclaimed, my voice filled with excitement as I leaned back against the edge of the tub, enjoying the sight of Felix's smile.

He rolled his eyes at my antics, though the smile never left his lips. "Yeah, yeah," he replied teasingly, his voice laced with amusement. "You're such a kid, Hyunjin."

"Hey, being a kid isn't so bad," I retorted with a grin,  Felix laughed softly at my words, the sound filling the bathroom with warmth and affection. "Yeah, I guess you're right," he conceded, his gaze softening as he looked at me. I smiled back at him, my heart overflowing with love for the man beside me.

I led him over to the bathtub, carefully adjusting the water temperature to his liking. Once everything was ready, I helped Felix ease himself into the warm, sudsy water, a contented sigh escaping his lips as he settled in.

As Felix relaxed into the bath, I sat behind him and began to gently wash his hair, my fingers massaging his scalp as I worked the shampoo into a lather.
With each gentle stroke, I sought to convey my love and admiration for him, silently promising to always be there for him no matter what. "How does that feel, Lix?" I asked softly, my voice filled with concern as I watched him lean back against the edge of the tub.

Felix's eyes fluttered shut in bliss, a soft hum of contentment escaping his lips as he savored the sensation of my touch. "Mmm, feels amazing," he murmured, his voice thick with pleasure. "You have magic hands, Hyunjin."
I chuckled softly at his compliment, my heart swelling with affection for him. "I thought you already knew that, baby," I replied warmly, my fingers continuing to work their magic as I rinsed away the suds. As he heard my response, he laughed softly which made me want to pause everything in the world and just repeat this same moment.
