Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

Until Then

"Just a minute!" Hyunjin called out from the other side of the front door when Felix knocked on it.

"Sorry Sung, I had to ge-" the artist started before looking up and realizing that Felix was standing on the other side. "Oh! Angel.. what are you doing here?"

The bright smile on Hyunjin's face made the younger's heart clench. The very same flutters he always had were still going wild, but he didn't want to have this conversation... not when he didn't know what he didn't know.

"He needs to talk to you, apparently." Minho cut in eventually, appearing from behind the younger.

Hyunjin looked at Felix in confusion. "Is everything okay..?" He asked with concern.

Felix bit his lip nervously, further quickening the artist's heart rate.

"I'll let you guys get to whatever the hell is so important.... Hyunjin, you have the money?" Minho asked with impatience.

"Oh... yeah, here..." Hyunjin held the stack of cash out towards the dancer, quickly turning his eyes back toward Felix as his heart ran wild.

"Thanks. Lix, do you want us to get you when we're done?" The younger's brother asked before turning back toward the car.

Felix looked at Minho in contemplation. "Just let me know when you finish and I'll tell you then... I'm not sure yet.." He stated with a hint of guilt in his tone, something that dropped Hyunjin's heart as he tried not to jump to conclusions... however, every scenario he came up with didn't sound too pleasant.

"Alrighty then..." Minho cleared his throat awkwardly. "I guess I'll get going... good luck with whatever this is all about.." He cringed before turning back toward the car, managing to get as far as driving away before he could see the younger two move inside the apartment.

"Angel.. what's going on?" Hyunjin asked concerndly as he closed the door behind them.

Felix started to fiddle with his fingers and looked up at the older through his lashes. "I've just been kind of overwhelmed with the whole Woo drama the last couple days.."

Hyunjin grabbed onto his hand from behind and spun him, catching him by the waist after and pulling him into a sweet kiss.

Felix felt his heart beat out of his chest and the butterflies erupted. He couldn't help the giggle that escaped, despite the guilt that was creeping in. Hyunjin truly didn't deserve this.. he didn't deserve to have this man's heart.

"My love..." Hyunjin mused softly when he saw the drop in his boyfriend's expression. He cupped the younger's cheek and rubbed over the freckles with his thumb in admiration. "You know you don't have to do anything you don't want to.. right?" He reassured with soft eyes. "Just because we promised not to stop you from jumping, doesn't mean you have to."

Felix groaned painfully, causing another confused frown to spread across Hyunjin's face as his hold around the younger's waist tightened.

"What is it, Angel?" The artist asked out in frustration. He wasn't upset that Felix was upset.. rather, it was clear he wasn't getting it and he just wanted to help.

Felix looked down at the floor, avoiding his boyfriend's eyes. All of the soft comforting and care just became too much. "I'm scared that I'm still in love with Woo." He blurted out without thinking, his rational side returning once the words were out there... except it was too late to stop the way they came out.

Hyunjin froze and loosened his hold on Felix's waist. "What?" He asked out softly, the insecurity creeping up at the dreaded words he thought he didn't have to worry about anymore.
