Crimson Shadows ~ HYUNLIX

^40^

(Stressed Out • Twenty One Pilots)

Felix bit his lip as he watched the grande building. Seeing Hyunjin's last name, now also his last name, in big letter on the structure made him feel small. He scraped his throat and finally found the courage to enter. He clenched the bag in his hands, which was filled with the lunch that he had made for Hyunjin, and lifted up his right foot to make his way into the building.

He hadn't been even slightly surprised when he entered the lobby. The modern structure, the many busy people with fancy briefcases and suits. He completely felt out of place.

He clenched his jaw and looked around, until he finally saw the reception counter. He'd just ask to deliver his lunch and then he'd leave. He didn't want to bother Hyunjin after all.

With shaky strides he walked over to the huge counter. Behind it was sitting a pretty woman who looked quite grumpy.
"Hi." Felix said. The woman raised her eyebrows and looked up, but she only had to throw a single look at Felix to determine that he wasn't worth her time. How offensive. She scraped her throat but didn't even answer Felix's call.

He decided to just try again. "Excuse me, where can I find Hyunjin's office?" Felix asked. Suddenly he had the woman's attention.
"Who are you to call sir Hwang Hyunjin?" The woman asked, a mean scowl formed on her face. Pity, bitch really doesn't suit her features. Felix thought.

Felix hit his lip. He couldn't believe he was about to say this. "I'm his husband."
The woman's eyebrows rose in a mocking grin. Felix decided to ignore it. He watched as her hands glided down to his right hand, where his rings were. He suddenly really regretted not choosing normal looking wedding rings.
He scraped his throat. "I brought him some lunch, I just want to deliver that and then I'll be on my way." Felix explained. Suddenly the woman let out something that he assumed was a scoff but sounded closer to a laugh. She turned around.

"Hey, Byeol!" She suddenly exclaimed. Felix felt his face heat up in shame. "This man claims to be sir Hwang's husband!" She laughed. The woman she had spoken to stopped in her tracks and clenched her coffee. Suddenly she threw her head back and laughed. Suddenly all eyes were on him.

The woman behind the counter turned back towards him. "Sorry to break it to you, honey, but sir Hwang isn't married." She said in a fake sympathising tone. "And more importantly, he's not a faggot like you probably are."
Felix felt like he had been slapped in the face. He was too stunned to speak for a straight five seconds. Then his face hardened.
If she was going to give him this bitch attitude, she was going to get a bitch attitude.

"Listen, honey, unlike you I still have things to do. I decided to be nice and bring my husband some lunch. Now do you mind letting me know where to find him so I can finish the rest of my day in peace?" He said. The woman looked at him in shock, in disbelief of the way Felix had stood up for himself. She lifted and eyebrow. For a moment she seemed too stunned to speak. It was quite obvious what she was thinking:

How dare this lowlife talk to me that way?

Her face hardened and she looked down at her computer. "I can't help you, I'm sorry." She said in a sudden businesslike tone. Felix rolled his eyes and lifted the bag with lunch onto the counter.

"Fine, just be a sweetheart and bring this to Hyunjin for me." Felix said. The woman visibly bit her tongue trying to suppress her anger.

"Security!" She suddenly yelled. Felix didn't even give her a chance. He calmly turned around and walked towards the exit, very well aware that everybody was watching him. His cheeks were burning up in embarrassment, but he stayed strong.
He does up his pace.
