hyunlix - open mic night

(hyunjin x felix)

"Go Felix!" Jisung cheers me on as I step up to the podium where the mic stood. It was open mic night at the local bar and I was in the mood to do something I'd never done before.

I tap the mic twice, and then signal the band to play a particular tune. I was waiting for a special someone to arrive anytime now.

hyunjin:

Commotion.
Confusion.
Dilemma.

That's what was going through my head as I was walking through the busy streets of Seoul city. It was that time of the night when the social scene was bustling with vibrant energy and colors. Twinkling fairy lights decorated the streetside stalls selling steaming hot tteokbokki and freshly made bungeoppang and whatnot, and buskers entertained the crowds with their mime acts and acoustic tunes. It was bursting with life, but it contrasted the feeling within me. I play out those words for the millionth time.

"You can say no, but let me know soon. I'm an impatient man."

Those were the words that were causing a commotion in my heart. Wrecking havoc like a sleeping volcano that just erupted into balls of lava without warning.

Those were the words Seungmin told me when he confessed to me.

Now, I like Seungmin and all, but there's just this feeling that's telling me to say no. There is an internal war inside my head, tugging at my last strings of patience trying to decide who my heart belongs to. I kind of like him, but I like Felix too. It's complicated.

I'm confused and I can't handle it anymore. I let the tears slowly fall out, drop by drop just like my sanity. I was frustrated that I couldn't get my conscience together in one piece and just make up my mind.

I feel more drops on my face, but I recognize that they're not mine. I look up to see a galaxy of droplets falling from the dark blue sky. I let my tensed nerves relax as I stand there next to a half functioning lamp post, letting the water wash over my troubles.

I open my eyes and see the faint outlines of stars painted onto the large canvas that was the sky. How the stars and raindrops reminded me of Seungmin. It was a shame that I was this indecisive.

It suddenly crosses my head that Felix called to go to the bar two blocks down from where I was. I wasn't really in the mood for drinks, but seeing Felix would cheer me up a bit.

I push open the mahogany doors to the bar, the overwhelming scent of strong alcohol clouding my senses for a moment. I hear soft guitar strings playing near me and turn to the source of the sound. With a start I realize that Felix is up on the stage, belting out the lyrics to a song I'd never heard before. He notices me and his lips curve up into a charming smile, one that dazzled me to no bounds. He maintains eye contact throughout, as if no one else was there in the room.

"I just really love you
You're the only reason why I really love you
When I see you smile I just can't get enough
And I can't live without you
Baby I just really love you"

Felix finishes up the song, earning loud hoots and cheers from the swarm of tipsy drinkers who had gathered around him. He shifts his gaze towards me, walking in my direction.

Only then does it hit me like a truck. My smile falters. The song was about me. It was for me.

It all made more sense now. Maybe this was the feeling stopping me from giving the green light to Seungmin. Because...

...it was Felix that I've really liked all along.

With each step taken towards me, my decision gets clearer and clearer. He looked particularly handsome tonight, donning a black biker jacket and leather jeans, perfectly complimenting his numerous piercings and shiny silver hair that was gelled back to reveal his undercut. No man could look as ravishing as he did, with the way he managed to take my breath away every single time I laid my eyes on him.

As he approaches me, I grab the collar of his jacket and smash my lips against his. Felix widens his eyes for a moment, but smirks as he kisses me back. He deepens the kiss, pushing us away to a more secluded corner.

"I really fucking like you, you know?" I say, resting my forehead rest against his, our noses brushing.

"I know. I'm crazy about you too, Hyune," he whispers with his deep voice, pinning me against the wall to kiss me again. He bites my lip, sliding his tongue in when my mouth parts. We kiss like there's no tomorrow, like we'd been craving each other for an eternity.

How I had died for this boy, and now he was finally mine.
