chapter 22

The locker slammed shut making a loud echo that made the empty changing room shiver, felix sighed, resting his forehead on his locker door. He had to mess up? especially infront everyone and..the guy? He groaned lightly landing a punch on the metal in the hope of getting some of his frustration out but punching metal won't help with the looks he got and only make him cringe over his actions even more.

"Fuck this..."

While he continued overthinking, a sudden sound of heavy footsteps walking inside the room alerted felix senses, he immediately pulled back from the locker, ready to leave after already having enough of the embarrassment he got today but not until he turned around and saw who was walking his way.

"Hyunjin..?"

Hyunjin walked over, standing right infront of felix, his tall frame almost covering felix whole but luckily he wasn't that short for that and he never felt so good about finishing his milk in childhood, the guy didn't spoke a word keeping his lips tight shut while his eyes wondered over to felix waist that was held by his left hand.

"Does it hurt?"

Felix took a good few seconds before he processed what he had just asked him with the concerned tone "oh no it's not that bad..but yeah it does hurt a little."

He responded finnally being honest about it because what's the worse that can happen? Not worse than twisting his ankle and falling infront of hyunjin again. Right?

Hyunjin nodded with a low 'hm' sound, his hand reaching into his side pocket as he pulled out a small red spray bottle that barely fitted on his palm, he extended it towards felix who stared at it in confusion before he read the 'pain relief' written on it with big black letters.

"You didn't had to-" he got cut off by the guy stepping closer

"Allow me felix."

His soft whisper almost got mistaken for a music note to felix ears, his eyes still taking over the figure infront of him, the blonde hair that was tied up just an hour ago was falling down to his face covering both his side angles, the expression his face held was gentle yet eager while he waited for felix consent for the helping hand.

"Please..."

The beg didn't fail to send a wave of desperation with it. Felix lips that were pressed in a thin line opened to speak but closed shut with hyunjins hope in them. The visible eagerness in his eyes and voice made felix question it all... Why did his very little of pain worry hyunjin so much? Why would he become so concern for him compared to all the ones that have injured themselves far more worse? Why did he only held him in his arms when he lost his balance? Why did he look at him with worry everytime he did something stupid enough to hurt himself? And...why'd felix felt so special recieving his affection?

"It's fine... if you don't want to-"

"Okay."

Hyunjin eyes light up with the sudden words that felix blurted out, his lips curling up in a genuine grin. The relieve that washed over his face because of the small word of permission from felix wasn't just like any achievement or a win..but more like a desparate homeless finding it's stay.

"Thank you, felix"

The boy nodded, his eyes slowly trailing down on the floor, enable to hold any connections with the controlling yet grateful sharp eyes. When it hit him that he gave away the pass just like that? What was in hyunjins gaze that hypnotized felix to the stage of giving away the consent? And why'd it felt like he'll recive the worst of punishment for declining that request? It didn't made any sense to felix. Not even a bit.

"Can you turn around for me, felix?"

Felix didn't utter a word turning his body around in a slow motion, facing the dark blue painted locker, his breath caging itself down his throat without his own will, he could definitely feel the heat rising in his cheeks, fully aware of how red he looks right now and that added to his embarrassment list.
