Complete Pt. 1: A piece of light || Hyunlix

11. Just acting, right?

Hyunjin's pov:

'Oh shit...'

I had to blink my eyes twice to check, if I was seeing right. 

I was.

Taehyung had just walked in from the door of the store with Jungkook and Hongjoong. They were now busy chatting with each other, but it was only about time, before they would notice me. What would I say, if they caught me shopping with Felix? Would taehyung do the same to me as he did to Mingi?

I couldn't take any risks. I had to make up a plan quickly. In our gang Taehyung was the king bee and everyone else were his workers. He could do many terrible and even illegal things without getting into trouble himself and I could prove it better than anyone.

Then it hit me. A hurting and traumatic memory. The memory formed into an idea. A stupid and risky idea, that would ruin my relationship with Felix in the worst possible case. But it was my best, worst and also only idea I had at the moment.

"Hyunjin, why are you..." Felix asked. I didn't let him end his sentence. I grabbed his collar just like I had seen Taehyung do plenty of times and pushed him against the wall. Felix tried to struggle his way out, but I held him tightly still.

"HYUNJIN, WHAT THE FU-" he tried to yell, but I blocked his mouth. 

He stared into my eyes. His pretty eyes were filled with anger and shock, but what hurt me the most in those eyes, was the little twinkle of fear. It was small, almost invisible, but at the same time it was the only thing I paid attention on.

Was he afraid of me?

"Trust me and play along. For this one time." I whispered quickly. Felix just frowned his eyebrows and gave me a questioning look. I leaned my face closer to his.

"Felix, please. You can hate me after this is over, but please trust me now." I begged.

Felix was completely still for a second. Then he nodded quickly. I formed the words "thank you" with my lips before I took an evil grin on my face and said:

"You thought you could escape, blondie? Don't worry, I'll let you go after you give me my money back."

I took my hand off his mouth. Felix breathed a couple of times before he said:

"I swear, I don't have any! I already told you!"

I was relieved, that he started to play along. I saw from the corner of my eye, how the three boys had stopped and they looked at us. I glued my eyes back to Felix and slammed my hand to the wall right next to his ear.

"Yeah, right. And that thing in your bag was completely free, huh?" I asked with a voice loud enough for Taehyung to hear. I had a feeling that he was now staring at me. Now it was time for a big move.

"Listen, I didn't..." Felix started, but right then I put my hand on his throat. I could see how fear slashed in his eyes. This time I wasn't sure, if he was acting or not. I didn't want to do this neither, but it was the best way to keep our friendship as a secret.

"No. This time you'll be listening to me, Lee. I gave you more than enough time to pay me back, but it looks like nothing is enough for The Great and Gorgeus Lee Felix! You're better to cough up every single penny you owe me, or your life will be heading to an unwanted direction..." I said with a cold voice and pushed my face close his face. 

I slowly started to tighten my grip of my hand around his neck. I could feel the vines of his neck under his soft skin. They contracted under my press, but I made sure that I could hear and feel Felix's accelerating breath on my cheeks. I wouldn't stop him from breathing, obviously, just acting like I did.
