Sinking In The Deep End - Chanlix

Nine

The times we had were bittersweet,
I miss the days we used to laugh and heal,

"Okay! Here we are, one flight to Seoul, South Korea!" Hannah exclaimed, standing next to Felix in the waiting lobby of the surprisingly quiet airport for his plane to arrive. The girl had a plan and so she dragged the poor boy all the way to the airport, the next day.

"I've never been on a plane before. I'm kinda scared." Felix spoke, his head down. He had nothing but his backpack to take with him and the note, that never left his hand. "How am I supposed to get to this place?"

"Felix, you'll be fine. It's a private plane, my friend's dad flys it. That's why it's so quiet here." Hannah explained, confusing Felix further.

"Uhh how? You're fourteen!" He said, louder than intended. "Anyway, thanks."

"I know exactly where you're going, the plane will land at a very small and quiet airport fairly near to Chris' current address. Which is written on the note."

"Thank you, Hannah. It means a lot." Felix hugged her tightly, showing his appreciation for the girl. "You didn't have to do any of this."

"Zip it Freckles." She snapped, but not in angry way. In a friendly way... somehow. "I haven't heard my brother so heartbroken since our parents y'know, died. I can tell he loves you more than literally any other person out there, probably more than he loved our parents. I can let you lose eachother." She spoke, calmly and smiling. "See you soon, Felix? Maybe one day when I can call you my brother too. There's nothing wrong with who you are and who you love, I hope you understand that." Hannah's words almost brought tears to both Felix's and her own eyes until she got a notification. She pulled out her phone, checking the message. "It's time for you to go."

"Thanks, Hannah. See you soon, Sis?" Felix said, smiling a smile he finally had the confidence to show. He felt hopeful for what was to come. He couldn't live without his boyfriend, he wasn't going to. That can mean two things, if this plan backfired.

"Yeah, bro!" She laughed, attempting to lightly punch his arm playfully but the boy dodged in fear. "Oh sorry, you might wanna go now. Bye Felix!" They gave eachother a smile before parting. A hopeful feeling in both of their hearts.

Felix made his way into the private plane, not trusting the very slightly rough appearance. Yet he had no choice, even if some people would say he did. He did not. The plane eventually set off and flew over the seas, all the way over to South Korea. After a view of mainly clouds above and odd birds below flying freely over the seas and loving life, they eventually came closer to land. Felix peered down at the views of the country, a country of his origins but one he had never been to himself. After passing multiple tall buildings and far too many over flying vehicles and machines, they came towards a more lonelier part of the same city. It didn't look like the same city though, it looked almost... lost. Much like the people that lived there, that the Australian boy had no clue he was about to meet.

Felix stepped out of the plane, that worryingly looked more tattered then than when he had gotten on it. Oh well, he made it there alive. Shivers were sent down the boy's terribly postured spine as he wandered through the almost completely silent airport, trying to find the exit. Luckily it was small and it wasn't completely empty, he followed some people out the exit and stopped outside the moment the cold fresh air collided with his skin. The sensation made him shudder but he ignored it, looking down at the paper in his hand for the address. He had no clue where this place was or where he was, to be honest. So, despite the sketchy atmosphere, he asked a boy he saw approaching his direction for help. The boy had dark brown waves tucked between a black beanie, a large plain black hoodie and destroyed, ripped jeans. A pair of dirty white converse on his feet to finish the look of the boy, who appeared to be around Felix's age.

"Um, excuse me?" Felix stopped the boy, trying to relax his thick Aussie accent in hopes the boy, that Felix didn't know could speak English or not, would understand better.

"Yeah? Can I help you?" The boy replied. He had a surprising British accent but not like a posh one it was more of an 'innit bruv' kinda British accent, to put it that way.

"Do you know how I can get to xxxxx, xxxxxx, xxxxx?" Felix asked, praying the boy knew the way to the address of his boyfriend.

"Why do you need to go there?" The boy replied, acting cautious. Felix didn't know why, he didn't know anything at that moment if he was to be honest.

"I'm uh, looking for someone." Felix spoke, he sounded unsure but in truth he couldn't be more sure that what he was saying was far from a lie.

"Who?" Damn this guy was full of questions.

"Why does it matter?"

"Just tell me, then I might be able to help you." He said. "You clearly haven't been to this part of Seoul before."

"I've never been to Seoul at all before, until now." Felix told the boy, who seemed to be less nervous around him. It was almost as though he was figuring something out, as each word slipped from Felix's tongue.

"Is that an Australian accent?" The boy asked, his gaze following Felix's freckles like he was star-gazing and drifting his eyes against the constellations. Felix merely nodded, his blank expression similar to the one he always had before he had met Chris. "Did you come here all the way from Australia?"

"Yeah, to find someone." Felix spoke, feeling annoyed at the boy's endless questions until-

"Is your name, by any chance, Felix?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Felix asked, surprised at how the other male knew his name.

"Someone I know, is desperate to see you. He calls himself your boyfriend, apparently." The boy smirked, the weight on Felix's chest being lifted. It was starting to make a little more sense. "Wait one second," The boy pulled out his phone and called someone, suddenly speaking in a foreign language that Felix assumed was Korean. "Hey hyung, he's here. He's come to find Chan." The boy the smiled apologetically at Felix, "Sorry about that, can you come with me?"

"Uh sure," Felix gave the boy a small smile, "Oh, I never got your name!"

"Oh yeah, it's Jisung."
