Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

Angel Above

Once he was done crying over his best friend getting engaged, Felix made his way over to the artist, who was intently moving the brush over the canvas to capture the quickly fleeting moment.

"Hi... I didn't expect to see you here.." Felix stated softly, awkwardly shuffling himself closer to observe the creative process.

"Hey.." Hyunjin smirked but kept his focus on the painting in front of him. "Yeah, me either, honestly." He chuckled in amusement, letting his eyes observe the beauty standing next to him for a split second, sighing when he had to drag his eyes away. "You look incredible, by the way."

Felix broke out in a flirty smile back. "I had to dress up too so that Jisung wouldn't get suspicious.." He shrugged, repeating the action and trailing his eyes over the simple black button down and jeans that the artist was wearing. Hyunjin had worn outfits like this all the time, but it never failed to capture his eyes. "You're not so bad yourself, handsome."

"Be still my beating heart." Hyunjin whispered under his breath with a smirk, earning a giggle from Felix.

At that moment, Jisung slipped over and threw himself into the younger's arms with a sniffle. "I can't believe it!!" He screamed out happily.

Felix giggled and squeezed Jisung as tight as possible, taking his hand and inspecting the ring with an obvious coo.

"Hyunjin?!" Jisung called out when he looked at the artist working on his painting next to them. "I didn't even notice you were here." He chuckled sheepishly.

"I wanted to surprise you.. he's making a portrait for us.." Minho mused, sneaking up behind them and wrapping his arms around Jisung's waist, pulling him into his chest, seemingly avoiding any distance.

Jisung looked behind him with big eyes. "Really?" He asked sweetly.

Minho nodded his head and sent Hyunjin a small smile of gratitude.

Felix looked over at the painting and smiled in awe. "It's beautiful.."

"Let me see!" Jisung squealed happily, running over to Hyunjin's other side to see the piece of art. He cooed audibly and couldn't stop the bright smile on his face.

"Sung!" Ms.  Lee called out, waving him over to the group of parents standing near the tree.

Jisung pursed his lips and pulled Minho with him, who sent his brother a pleading look.

Felix chuckled and continued to look on at the painting, admiring the way that Hyunjin managed to capture the scene in front of them. He perfectly copied the way the lights twinkled, the gentle breeze that blew stray leaves around, and the nearly full moon in the sky.

When he looked a little closer, the way the sky was laid out looked familiar to him. He squinted his eyes and he let out a soft gasp, his eyes widening back up.

He looked between Hyunjin and the painting a couple of times in disbelief. "Wait.. the sky.. it looks like a face... like how you did the beach one for me.." He observed in an almost whispered tone.

Hyunjin smiled softly and nodded his head. "Minho told me about your dad... about how much this place meant to you guys. He said he wanted to do it here because it felt like your dad would be watching over them somehow..."

Felix felt a tear roll down his cheek and sighed in awe.

Hyunjin looked to the side when he heard the younger sniff and put down his palette, gently rubbing the tears away before looking into Felix's big brown eyes. "I didn't overstep.. did I?" He asked genuinely.

Felix bit his lip and shook his head, turning his attention to the artist instead rather than the painting. "It's perfect.. You're amazing, Najia.."

The moment itself was too reminiscent for the younger.. he didn't come here to torture himself, and it was easy to forget momentarily where he was when the proposal itself was taking place.. but now that Jisung and Minho were being doted on by the parents, and he was left standing next to the person who made him feel like he was in a dream just days earlier, it started to sink in.
