~•Through unknown eyes•~ [Hyunlix]

21// A glimpse of his story. Like the undetailed and happy summary.

Hyunjin slowly unwrapped his arms from Felix's frail body, standing up. He stepped out of the bathtub and bent down, grabbing the younger under his arms into the air, then pulling him close to his chest. Hyunjin placed a soft kiss in the crook of Felix's neck as he brought him over to the sink, putting him down.

The boy didn't look happy, or sad, or afraid. He just looked empty, like a creature had sucked out his soul and filled it with pure darkness.

His gaze didn't change with whatever movement Hyunjin made. It didn't change when Hyunjin talked to him, it didn't change when he felt a stinging sensation on his fresh cuts, it didn't change when soft and slender hands cupped his cheeks.

"Baby, come on. Listen to me." Hyunjin whispered, softly stroking away the stray strands of hair in Felix's face. The younger male just averted his eyes to Hyunjin's face, the empty look still on his face.

"How.. why are you even here... Minho's not home..." Felix whispered out, his eyes fluttering close with a sigh.

"The number you text is me. The number you've been texting for 3 weeks now was all me..." Hyunjin mumbled, immediately getting Felix to frown. "What... What do you mean..." Felix breathed out, sitting up straighter. He still had the empty and defeated look in his eyes, but also the confused and betrayed one.

Hyunjin took his phone with a sigh and clicked on a few things before showing Felix, getting widened eyes and a shocked expression in return.

"Go away..." Felix breathed out, his gaze piercing through Hyunjin's screen. The older lowered his phone and sighed, stepping a bit closer, where Felix pushed him back again while shaking his head.

"I.. I don't want to... Leave me alone for a moment..." Felix mumbled, putting his hand against Hyunjin's chest to hold him still

"Baby, I won't leave you. Don-"

"Hyunjin go away, please." Felix begged, a shaky breath following. He jumped off the sink counter and stepped outside the bathroom with a fast speed, his right hand already getting abused by his teeth.

Hyunjin sighed and fastly followed, which made Felix fastly go downstairs and come into the living room, where he passed the couch and walked into the kitchen. He walked around the counter, his breaths speeding up with each step he took. His eyes were widened and pierced through the floor, his thumb nail getting bitten off.

"Felix just- please stop... Stand still." Hyunjin said, whining a bit when Felix clearly had no intention of stopping. The male just kept walking around the kitchen and living room, his gaze lost between millions of universes.

Hyunjin sighed and stood still, waiting for the younger to once again pass the kitchen counter. He poked the inside of his cheek as he waited, then turning around when he saw Felix was not stopping. The younger male bumped right into Hyunjin, who wrapped his arms around the boy, immediately getting fighting back.

Felix kicked and cried out for Hyunjin to let him go, his small fists punching Hyunjin's chest. Of course in the weak and vulnerable state he was in it didn't have any effect, so Hyunjin slowly led their bodies sink to the ground, still embracing him.

"Shh..." Hyunjin whispered out, Felix softly crying out. He slowly released the boy from his grip and held his hands, kissing them softly.

"Deep breaths love, can you take deep breaths for me please?" Hyunjin whispered, only having Felix's breaths to speed up. He was gasping for air as his chest heaved up fastly with each breath he tried to take, soft winces and cries leaving his mouth.

"C- can't- b-bre- breath-" Felix gasped out, kicking his feet to try to keep himself up. Hyunjin picked him up under his arms and slid his left leg behind the boy, then pressing him against his chest.
