Faces Of You

31

   Felix gasped as he woke up. A thin layer of sweat on his skin. Tears beaded in his eyes and began to fall down his cheeks.

   The arm around his waist tightened, as Hyunjin woke up. 

“Felix?” Hyunjin muttered.

  “Did I wake you up? I'm sorry,” Felix mumbled.

   Hyunjin sat up, eyes filled with sleep, “Why are you crying?”

The blond shook his head, “It is nothing. I have to use the bathroom,”

   Felix got out of the bed and went to the bathroom.

   Hyunjin sighed and laid down. As much as he wished Felix would be even just a little more open with him, he knew it probably wouldn't happen.

    “You look tired,”

   Felix chuckled, “I am tired,”

   Natty smiled, “Did loverboy keep you up all night or something?”

   “Loverboy? What does that mean?” Felix questioned.

   “Babe, everyone can see there is something between you and Hyunjin,” Natty stated.

   Felix's brows drew together, confusion lacing his features.

  “There is nothing going on there. I mean we have had relations a few times, but outside of that there is nothing,”

   “Could've fooled me. The way he looks at you tells a story,”

   “You're being delusional,”

   Natty clicked her tongue and pushed Felix's shoulder lightly, causing Felix to wince a little.

    “Are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah, I had a small accident and I hurt my shoulder, I need to be more careful,” Felix said.

“Maybe, you should ice it when we get back to the hotel,” the brunette suggested.

   Felix nodded, “I probably should. Hopefully soon it'll get better,”

    “What are you doing for dinner? I was thinking of going to a nearby restaurant with Belle and a few others,”

  “I actually have plans. Hyunjin has a dinner and he invited me,”

  “Sure it's not a date?” Natty asked with a small smirk.

   Felix rolled his eyes, “Hyunjin, isn't the type to date,”

   “You mean you aren't the type to date. From what I heard Hyunjin is a bit of the romantic type,”

   “What does that mean?” Felix questioned.

   Natty hummed, “I'm surprised you never heard of it. I heard of it at the beginning of the year, apparently in Hyunjin's freshman year he had a girlfriend.

  He'd write her poems, make her small drawings, get her flowers, he'd show her love in probably every sense of the word. I suppose something happened late second semester and they broke up,”

    Felix had never heard of that. He'd never taken particular interest in Hyunjin to know that, but he figured with Yuqi and Jisung knowing Hyunjin they would have told him at some point.

   “I never heard of that before. I never even knew he had a girlfriend,”

    Natty shrugged, “It was something that was told to me, but I have no clue if it is true or not,”

   Felix nodded.

  Was it true?

   “You need to just confess,”

   “If it was that simple I would have done it,”

   Belle sighed, “You need to drop the player act, because no one is believing it after you've been following him around like a lovesick puppy,”

    “It is not even difficult because of that. I could care less about it. It is more because there are things regarding stuff that affect me confessing to him,” Hyunjin said.

  “Like what?” Belle asked.

   Hyunjin took a breath, “When he and I started the arrangement we made rules. One of them was no feelings, and I broke that rule,”

   “Okay, but how can you know that he didn't break that rule too? I mean you guys were having sex, there is only so long you can go with having baseless sex,”

   Hyunjin gave her a look.

  “Felix doesn't seem like he is one to fall for some just because of a few nights of sex and it's not just because of the sex, there are just so many things going on and I don't know,”

   “I assume it has something to do with whatever happened between him and that guy,” Belle said.

    Hyunjin looked at her confused.

  “He is the son of a CEO and the guy is the son of a prominent lawyer, people talked for a while, but for the most part it they have kept quiet about it, because they know if Yuqi, Jisung, or Minho were to hear them talk about it, it wouldn't be good,”
  
    “No one should be talking about… it's not gossip,” Hyunjin muttered.

  “Most of the people talking about it are dicks. As soon as professors hear them talk about it they shut it down, even other students have shut it down,”

    Hyunjin sighed.

  Confessing wouldn't be the right thing to do at the moment.
