-"You know i'm bigger than you, right?"- Hyunjin said, after Felix let him walked in first and closed the door behind him, Hyunjin felt more relaxed, he wasn't being watched by his friends, being alone with Felix made him feel relaxed.

-"Hey! i'm not that small, besides, i own some oversized hoodies"- He said and then he turned around -"The pants on the other hand, mine would be a little short on you"- He smiled, Hyunjin rolled his eyes.

-"I'm keeping the pants!"- He said, Felix chuckled, while Felix was looking in his closet, Hyunjin took the chance to look around, many pictures, looked like Felix liked to take pictures of his friends, and of anything actually.

Something caught Hyunjin's eye, it was a paper hanging on the wall, it was a painting, watercolor painting, of a sunset, it took a while but Hyunjin recognized it, his heart stopped

-"How do you have this?"- He said, he sounded mad, even he felt it on his words, the roughness of his voice caught Felix by surprise, he turned around, when he saw what Hyunjin was talking about he face turned white, he felt his heart stop, Fuck!

-"I..." - He couldn't finish, Hyunjin was still looking at the painting, his painting, he painted that when he was younger, he looked back at Felix, his eyes watering, he didn't meant to scare the boy, he just was shocked

-"Hey, no"- He said walking fast towards the blonde boy, grabbing his face, making him look up -"I'm not upset! Just... confused"- And boy he was! He didn't realize what he just did, he was grabbing Felix's face, both hands on both sides of his face, Felix's brown eyes looked hazel for a moment, it was the sunlight, it made his eyes shine beautifully, he couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and it seemed like Felix couldn't either.

Eventually Felix looked down, too embarrassed to explain himself and looking at Hyunjin at the same time.

-"One day, we were at your house, it was the first year you arrived, and i wanted to ran away from there, i didn't felt welcome, so i got lost in your house, don't know how but ended in your room, your studio?... I don't know, but i saw it, all those paintings, yours, right?- He finally looked up, Hyunjin still staring at him, not moving an inch.

-"I saw that one, it made me feel good, so i stole it... I'm so sorry Hyunjin, you were never meant to find out, i shouldn't have but..."- He couldn't finish, Hyunjin's eyes caught his words, he couldn't think anymore, what was happening, and then his face changed from confusion, he started smiling, was he mad?

-"So every time you look at that you think of me?" - He said, smirking. Oh god, Felix didn't notice how it would make him look, damn it

-"Get over yourself, it's not like that!"- Felix said putting distance between them, the movement seemed to make Hyunjin sad, why?

-"I get it, happens to me with your water bottle"- He said softly, not looking at Felix, he stared at the window, the sun setting, it made Hyunjin look like a god, after that thought, Felix agreed he was completely gay.

Felix smiled, and rolled his eyes -"You can't tell anyone, only Chan knows about that painting, and he doesn't know it's yours"- He said, Hyunjin liked the idea of having a secret with Felix, were they getting closer?

-"Here"- Felix walked again to his closet and got a white hoodie out, he handed it to Hyunjin, he smiled.

Hyunjin liked having things that belonged to Felix, it made him feel close to him. He started taking his vest off, then he unbuttoned his shirt, didn't realize Felix was staring at him, face red, couldn't even move, Hyunjin smirked, he liked the way this made him feel, he felt control over Felix emotions.

Felix realized he was staring and turned around, he heard Hyunjin chuckled, which made him blush even more, what the hell? why was he still there? he should have left once Hyunjin started to undress.

-"It's okay"- He heard, but didn't turned around, but then he felt it, Hyunjin was right behind him, he felt his breath on his ear, and then he felt his hands on his hips, what was happening

-"Thank you for the hoodie, Lix"- He said, and walked away, towards the door, he turned around just before opening it, he saw Felix there, standing defenseless, breathless, just big brown eyes looking at him in awe.
Hyunjin smiled, it was probably the biggest smile Felix ever saw on his face. He walked outside, and left leaving the door open just for Felix to see Chan outside.
