@HyunHwang: Words truly can't express how grateful I am to have @pixlixiee in my life. i would trade every single thing I have just to have him in every single lifetime of mine. Without him, my career wouldn't be as meaningful since I got to meet him because of it. my life would be incomplete and  I would be wondering like a lost soul looking for fragments of bodies to piece myself together. he has brought so much joy and love into my life so, I would just like to say that whenever you hear my name, think of him as well because he is the person that pieced me together when I was on the verge of losing all my happiness. whenever someone asks me about my life, I never talk moments without him because the only time I'm living is when I'm together with him.

I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone. The comments, the threats, and every word replayed in my head, each one harsher than the last. I didn't need to read them again. The look on Felix's face last night said it all. He didn't deserve any of it.

I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my hair as I opened his DMs. My fingers trembled with anger as I scrolled. So many messages, and so many people overstepping boundaries like they had the right to say such things.

Delete. Block. Report.

It felt endless but at least my post helped a little. For every comment I erased, three more seemed to take its place. But I didn't stop. I couldn't. The thought of Felix carrying this weight alone made my stomach churn. I should've known sooner. I should've protected him.

I glanced over at the bed. Felix was still asleep, curled up under the blanket I'd draped over him last night. His face was peaceful now, but I couldn't forget how broken he'd looked when he showed me those messages. I swore I'd never let anyone hurt him like that again.

After an hour or maybe two of cleaning up my feed, I knew it wasn't enough. Blocking people wouldn't teach them a lesson. I opened another app and started filing a report. Cyberbullying. It felt surreal typing those words, but I wasn't going to let these so-called "fans" think they could get away with it.

The next morning, the house was quiet. I sat at the dining table, sipping on a cup of coffee when I heard soft footsteps behind me.

"You're up early," Felix said, his voice still groggy.

I turned to look at him, offering a small smile. "Yeah. Couldn't sleep."

He walked over and sat across from me, his eyes flickering to my phone. His shoulders tensed. "Hyun... you didn't... do anything, did you?"

I set my mug down and leaned back in my chair. "I blocked the worst of it. Deleted what I could." I paused, unsure if I should tell him the rest. "And... I might've filed a report."

Felix's eyes widened, and he shook his head. "You didn't."

"I did."

"Hyunjin..." His voice was shaky, full of worry.

"What?" I asked, leaning forward. "They don't get to treat you like this, Felix. They don't get to hurt you and think there won't be consequences."

"They'll get mad," he whispered, looking down at his hands.

"Let them get mad," I snapped, more frustrated than I meant to sound. "I don't care what they think of me. But I care about you. And I won't let them do this to you."

He bit his lip, his eyes glossy. "But... if it gets worse, you'll be dragged into it too. I don't want that, Hyunjin. I don't want you to deal with this because of me."

I reached across the table, taking his hand in mine. "You're not dragging me into anything. I'm already here, Felix. I want to be here. You don't have to protect me."

He shook his head, pulling his hand back. "I already told them to stop. They messaged me this morning, begging me to tell you to drop the case. They're scared, Hyun. I told them we'd drop it."

For a moment, I didn't say anything. The anger simmering in my chest clashed with the softness I felt for him. He just wanted this all to stop.

"Fine," I said quietly. "I'll drop it. But only because you asked me to."

He looked up, surprised. "Thank you."

I leaned forward, holding his gaze. "But if this happens again, I'm not letting it go. Promise me you'll tell me next time, okay?"

He hesitated but eventually nodded. "Okay."

The air felt lighter when we decided to go out later in the afternoon. Felix had been hesitant at first, but I convinced him that some fresh air would do us good. We walked through the city, the cool breeze ruffling his hair as we wandered aimlessly.

For the first time in days, Felix seemed more like himself. He smiled more, laughed at my bad jokes, and even poked fun at me when I got us lost. His smile is just too adorable.

"Thank you," he said out of nowhere as we stood outside a café.

I glanced at him, confused. "For what?"

"For being you and...for helping me," he said simply, his voice soft but sincere.

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I could say the same about you."

The café was cute, with ivy-covered walls and little tables set outside. Felix ordered for us while I grabbed a table. As we ate, the conversation flowed easily. I caught myself staring at him more than I should, the sunlight catching the gold in his hair and the glow on his skin.

By the time we were walking home, the sky was painted with streaks of orange and pink. Felix stopped suddenly, pulling me by the sleeve.

"Hyun..." he said, his voice hesitant.

I turned to face him, my heart skipping a beat at the look in his eyes. "What is it?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he stepped closer, his hands trembling slightly as they rested against my chest.

And then, before I could say anything, he leaned up and kissed me.

CUT!!!
