Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

Day Off

The 4 walked out of the building and toward the parking lot.

"Thanks for helping out, Hyunjin." Jisung chimed happily.

"I can honestly say I had a good time, so anytime." He smiled back. With a small wave, he turned to start heading home.

"Where do you think you're going?" Minho surprised the other 3 by speaking out.

Hyunjin stopped in his tracks and looked back at Minho with a raised brow. "Uhm... home?"

The oldest scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I know I'm an asshole, but I have a heart, you know? Get in the car." He ordered with a wicked smile.

Hyunjin leaned into Felix. "Is he going to kill me..?" He spoke softly, half joking but with a serious undertone.

Felix snickered and rubbed Hyunjin's back in an attempt to comfort him, although to the older, it felt more like an attempt to say goodbye.

"Pfft. As if I would go to jail for you." Minho scoffed.

Jisung and Minho loaded into front seats while Hyunjin opened the door and allowed Felix to get in first before slipping in next to him.

The car was quiet throughout the short 5 minute drive. Despite the physical silence, Felix's thoughts were anything but.

He kept stealing glances at the gorgeous artist next to him, admiring the way the passing street lights illuminated his face and caused his lips to glisten, making them look even more plump.

Hyunjin could feel Felix's gaze on him, but instead of looking back, he purposefully kept still, choosing to keep looking out the window instead. Somehow, the feeling was comfortable and he didn't want to risk making the younger feel embarrassed about it.

When the car came to a stop at Hyunjin's apartment complex, he finally looked over at Felix, who pursed his lips and gave him a small wave. The cute act melted Hyunjin's heart and he gave the younger a sweet smile.

"Thanks for the ride, Minho. Goodnight." Hyunjin stepped out of the car and closed the door behind him.

Felix let his head fall on the back of the seat and looked to the side, watching as Hyunjin disappeared into his apartment. He let out a soft sigh as a feeling of loneliness built up.

When Hyunjin got inside of his apartment, he opened up the fridge and took out a beer.  She spent some time mindlessly flipping through t.v channels before coming to the conclusion that he was officially bored.

He got up and went over to his painting setup, placing the undoubtedly Felix inspired painting of the vanilla blossom next to his previously made painting. He picked up a blank canvas and placed it on the easel, sitting down on his stool and staring at it blankly. It must have been 10 minutes of staring at the blank canvas before he decidedly huffed and stood back up.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He walked over to the area by the door where he had placed the supplies that they bought for the art class. A small smile appeared on his face as he grabbed one of the big posterboards and laid it out on the floor in front of his couch, taking a pillow and sitting down on top of it behind the board.

With pursed lips and a concentrated expression, he scanned it, trying to figure out the scale of his outline. Better yet, trying to figure out what to make.

He thought back to what the woman at the center said, that it made her feel young. He smiled to himself and grabbed a pencil, drawing out an intricate mirror with an older woman crouched down on one side holding her hand up to it, while the reflection showed a little girl with her own hand pressed against the glass.
