Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

Return

"Why did you delete his number anyway..?" Hyunjin asked as Jisung typed the number into his phone with a scowl.

"You remember that time when you got pepper sprayed and Lix ran out on you, got drunk, and basically jumped Woo?" The younger pointedly responded.

Hyunjin pursed his lips at the memory. Part of him will always love it because it brought him and Felix closer, but it hurt knowing how desperate his Angel was to get to that state. He nodded his head.

"That's why.. I made Lix delete the number after we moved his stuff out. He got drunk one night after that and tried to take my phone to 'give him a piece of his mind'." Jisung chuckled lightly. " Unfortunately... well I guess fortunately, knowing what we know now... he wasn't even sober enough to unlock my phone. I offered to type it up for him but through his ramblings he somehow managed the mental gymnastics to convince himself that he could have done more and turned it into an apology." He rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue.

Hyunjin's expression turned down. He was giving Felix the space to grieve and understood it wasn't something he could get over just like that... it didn't make it any easier to hear though.

Jisung's expression turned apologetic. "Sorry.. he wasn't trying to get back together with him, Jin. He just didn't let himself be angry because he was still trying to find the best in him.." He explained apologetically.

Hyunjin sighed and leaned back. "It's ok. Even if he did want to, I was prepared to accept that." He admitted with a pained chuckle. "Just didn't think it would hurt this much to hear that."

Jisung pouted lightly. "Anyway.. that's why I deleted it. It was too risky. Plus.. I had a few choice words of my own that Lix refused to let me send. So I delet-"

They were pulled out of their conversation when the bathroom door opened and Felix came out, painting a soft smile back on Hyunjin's face.

Jisung panicked and closed the little chest, hugging it to hide it and shooting the artist a pleading look.

Hyunjin nodded and stood up, walking toward Felix to wrap him into a hug. Sure, it was a diversion.. but it wasn't like he minded.

Minho scoffed and rolled his eyes. He did the 'I'm watching you' motion before looking around the room, finding that Jisung had disappeared.

"Jagi..?" The oldest called out.

Jisung stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door behind him, standing in front of it with a suspicious smile.

"Is everything okay..?" Minho asked with furrowed brows, squinting his eyes suspiciously.

Jisung pursed his lips and nodded his head, reaching out and making grabby hands.

Minho smiled and obliged, earning a scoff from his younger brother.

"Hm. So it's fine if you do it, huh?" He sassed back, purposefully squeezing the artist tighter as he stuck his tongue out at his brother.

"Yeah. Because we're in love." The older sassed back in a similarly petty nature.

Hyunjin chuckled at the competitive nature and basked in the hug and the vanilla scent without complaint. He wanted to soak up as much of it as he could before having to say goodbye again. Besides... he wasn't about to go arguing that he loved Felix too.. figuring that it wouldn't exactly go well based on historical incidents.

"Are you feeling okay, Angel?" The artist spoke softly into Felix's shoulder, making sure his voice was soft enough to not to put him on the spot.

Felix smiled softly and nodded into Hyunjin's chest. "Better, actually. Sorry for leaving you with him.." He responded back softly when he pulled away. He inspected the artist's face and walked around him, inspecting his body with squinted eyes.
