Protect me | Lee Felix

Chapter 5

Loud banging on the door startled Felix out of his little nap and Felix was about to ignore it until he heard a familiar voice: "Felix, open the door! It's me, Lyn! Jisung sent me to get you."

Sleepily Felix sat upright on the bed in his hotel room and stared towards the door. Another knock was heard together with the second plea of letting Lyn in so Felix mustered up some strength and waddled over.

Lyn's hand was still raised in the air when she came face to face with Felix and the girl hat to smile when she saw Felix's sleepy state.
Felix turned around and waddled back to the bed, leaving Lyn no option but to follow him into the room.

"Jisung sent me to get you. He told me to get you because the guys are planning to go to a bar and he knew you were sleeping" Lyn said and took a look around the room, noticing it was not much different to hers except for the size of it.

She walked towards the window to appreciate the scenery while Felix was left to stare into the void with a confused expression.

"I know about that but we weren't planning on leaving for another two hours. That's why I took a nap in the first place as well" Felix admitted, deep down knowing that Jisung probably set them up.

He didn't know what scheme Jisung was planning but he made a mental note to thank him later if things would turn out not too bad.

"So Jisung set us up, huh?" Lyn giggled and turned around to see Felix trying to comb his hair, "I guess I should let you sleep then."

"No, no! I won't be able to fall back asleep anyway" Felix panicked and stood up to block her way.

"Okay?" Lyn raised one of her eyebrows and looked at Felix, waiting for him to continue.

"Well, we wanted to invite you as well as the other bodyguards as well, so you might even stay here" Felix suggested and flopped down on the edge of his bed. He really hoped Lyn would agree and stay with him because the thought of watching her go out of that door made his chest hurt.

"And do what in the meantime?"

Don't judge Felix for having various scenarios ready in his mind, obviously voicing none of them out loud.

"You could help me find an outfit?" Felix came up with instead.

"You have seen me and the way I dress, right? I have absolutely no sense of fashionable style whatsoever."

"You dress yourself well" Felix disagreed but both of them were aware that Lyn's clothing style was simple and decent at best. Moreover it was nowhere near the fancy level of anything in Felix's closet.

"Or I simply show you what I thought of wearing and you say your opinion?" Felix offered and while Lyn still looked skeptical, she agreed. "I will quickly go into the shower, make yourself comfortable in the meantime."

Lyn wanted to protest that all of this felt inappropriate but Felix disappeared into the bathroom, ignoring her comment. Lyn knew she could have easily left the hotel room while Felix was in the shower but something inside of her told her to stay. Thinking about her career she should probably really get going but something about Felix felt so comfortable that she ultimately decided to stay seated.

Not long after, Felix exited the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist and one slung over his shoulders. Lyn stared for a moment before she came to her senses and turned around. "Sorry, I didn't expect you to come out of the room... like this."

"No need to apologise, nothing you haven't seen before" Felix said, shooting a small grin in Lyn's direction but the girl still had her back turned towards him. So what Felix didn't see was the red blush covering Lyn's cheeks and the panicked but flustered expression she had.

"You have to turn around at some point, you know. How will you rate my fits otherwise?" Felix took a few steps closer to her until he felt her presence and body heat on his bare skin, "I don't mind any of this, in fact I want this."

"Felix, please don't go there" Lyn firmly stated and turned around, short moment of pride for directly looking into Felix's eyes without taking a glance at his body, "You know that we can't go there, it's against so much I stand for."

"You went against it once before, without much hesitance if I may remind you."

"That was something entirely different. I wasn't working for you back then!" Lyn hissed but the sad expression in her eyes didn't vanish, "I am trying so hard to stay professional around you every single day! But there you are, always trying to ruin it, always some kind of flirt on your lips. Don't you see the bigger picture here? I need this job but whatever you think is going on between us could make me loose it. I don't know if you simply don't understand it or just find fun in trying to humiliate me!"

"I would never try to humiliate you!" Felix argued, feeling his heart break at the single tear escaping Lyn's eye.

"Then why are you doing this to me?" Lyn cried out, breathing heavily because of all the pent up emotions suddenly coming out.

Taking another step closer, Felix was standing chest to chest with Lyn but he didn't give the girl any time to react because he gently but firmly put his hands on each side of her head and pulled her closer, only to connect their lips.

Felix softly kissed Lyn and for a second it felt as if she was kissing him back but as sudden as that feeling came, it vanished again. Lyn had taken a step back and was looking at Felix with a mix of horror and regret.

"I am so sorry! I should have asked first, it wasn't okay for me to just kiss you like that-" Felix started rambling but was cut off by Lyn.

"Just wear whatever, it will be fine. And tell the others I won't be joining you at the bar tonight unless it is for my job as bodyguard. Have a nice evening, Mr. Lee, I will see you for tomorrow's event."

Felix looked after Lyn while she left his room and let the door fall shut. He knew he had screwed up big time but he didn't know how he was going to fix this one.

"Hannie, I think I really screwed up! I need your help."
