Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

Take Care

"We're in the storage closet!" Jisung called out.

Hyunjin scrunched his brows questioningly but went over to the room and peeked his head around the corner, his eyes immediately softening when they met Felix's red and cloudy ones.

He looked over at Jisung, who pursed his lips and shook his head to signal the older not to ask.

"What are you doing here?" Felix asked nervously.

"I was on my way home after getting food. I saw that the lights were on and that Jisung's car was in the parking lot, so I thought I would stop by." He smiled sweetly, holding up the bag of food. "You guys hungry? I was going to have food leftover."

Jisung looked like he wanted to say yes but dropped his expression to a pensive one when he looked over at Felix. He pursed his lips and sighed softly. "I don't know... we have a lot to finish up here.."

As if on cue, Jisung's stomach betrayed him and growled. Hyunjin raised his brow and chuckled, opening the bag and pulling out a smaller container. "If you are too busy to take a break and eat, at least take my dumplings. You're clearly hungry, Ji."

"Sungie, it's ok. We can take a break. I can come in tomorrow to finish if anything." Felix painted the most convincing smile he could muster on his face, although Jisung had known his twin long enough to know the difference.

Jisung knew it was pointless to argue when his stomach was just going to expose him anyway, so reluctantly, he nodded with a grateful smile.

Jisung went to open the dumpling container when Hyunjin looked at him with an amused expression. "You want to eat in the closet?" He asked with a chuckle.

Jisung made grabby hands at Felix. "I'm too hungry to get up!" He whined.

Felix scoffed and let out an honest giggle, a sound that immediately lifted both of the olders' spirits. Felix grabbed Jisung's hands and hauled him upright, catching him when he playfully let his body fall into Felix's.

Before leaving the closet, Felix got on his toes to grab a couple of plates and chopsticks. He grunted softly, causing Hyunjin to look back at him.

"Oops.. sorry." The older chuckled as he reached up to help Felix out. "I put them up here after the art class."

Felix felt the same quickening of his heart as he did two nights ago when they were in this exact same predicament. Unlike the last time, though, he turned around and found himself looking up at Hyunjin through his lashes.

The older's gaze fell down on Felix, and he froze his movement. He could also feel his heart rate quicken and his breathing slow.

Hyunjin was surprised to see Felix sniff with furrowed brows. He felt a blush creep on his cheeks and retracted his body shyly. "Sorry if I stink... I was outside for a while.." He mumbled with pursed lips.

Felix looked confused but widened his eyes when the situation processed. "Oh! No, you don't. You just smell like pine instead of rose..." He trailed off his sentence at the end, realizing how creepy it must sound.

Hyunjin bit back a smirk. "Aah, that's right. I forgot I normally stink to you because of my floral taste, so I'm sure you think this is an improvement." He teased, an obvious joking tone to the words.

Felix gasped. "I never said that! I distinctly remember telling you that you don't smell like that." He whined.

Hyunjin chuckled. "Relax, Angel, I'm just messing with you."

Felix blushed at the nickname, suddenly realizing their close proximity and gulping.

"Seriously, though, sorry if the pine smell bothers you. I didn't get the chance to shower-"
