BLACK ROSE || HyunLix

~•³²•~

Felix Is currently on his way to the hospital after his much needed leave. He enjoyed every moment of it, especially the ones spent with Hyunjin. They did not go out as initially planned yesterday. Instead they stayed at Felix's apartment doing all sorts of things. They ate Chinese, courtesy of Hyunjin's culinary skills and cookies as dessert, courtesy of Felix's. They played some indoor games, card games, watched movies accompanied by what seemed like endless pints of popcorn. Then they ended the house date with love making. Long hours of love making that even at this point Felix's body hadn't come down from the euphoric high Hyunjin has taken it to yesterday. He remembers every whispers, can still feel every caress, still shivers at the memory of every touch.
It has been so intense but Felix loved every moment of it. He sighed blissfully. He can't wait to see Hyunjin again.

But doubts gnawed at him, ugly doubts. Hyunjin had asked him to officially be his but he had diverted. The older didn't give up and still asked him this morning before he left but Felix had told him that he feels they're rushing things. Hyunjin knew it was just an excuse, because even to Felix's ear it had sounded lame. But the taller had pleaded that Felix give it a much needed thought.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be official with Hyunjin, it's just that there's still a lot of unanswered questions between them. Hyunjin is keeping something from him, Felix is aware of this fact but then again he haven't been completely honest with the older himself.

But still Felix wondered just how much the older knows about him. He had found his number after all. What else has he found out?. He's too cowardly to ask Hyunjin about it. He knows that at some point he has to. They've come so far already and Hyunjin will need an answer as to whether Felix wants to make them official or not. Within Felix, the answer is yes, obviously but he knows that will make him a fool. How can he date someone he knows so little about?. He only knows that he has a younger sister, that's basically it. But then again he has fallen so deeply despite all this, doesn't that make him a fool then.

He parked outside the hospital quietly and shut the engine of his car.
He climbed down and made his way towards the hospital and into the reception. He waved, nodded and smiled to the usual greetings from the hospital staffs and colleagues.

He stepped through his door and felt strange, everywhere was oddly quiet. Where is Jeogin and his resident team.
Anyway, first things first, he needed coffee.

He walked towards the lobby and heard a voice,a muffled voice which he recognised immediately as Jeogin's. He made to call out to him but paused abruptly in shock when he heard him call out a name...

“No Lee Know, it's not what you think. Hyun-- I mean Abaddon means no harm to Felix”. Jeogin paused probably to listen to what the other person is saying. Felix couldn't hear the voice from the other end but his heart kept hammering. He shook his head rapidly in denial but the truth is clear.

Felix turned around and walked back into his office. He sat down quietly and buried his head in his hands in deep thoughts.
There's only one Lee Know in this world, his very own brother. It has been easy how his brother got the name. It was back in Australia when they were kids. They had two Lee Minho in the family. His cousin Lee Minho and his own brother Lee Minho. It has been a pure coincidence that the two Lees had the same first name. They're both also just a few years apart from each other. And also have different careers.
It was always an object of confusion for the other Lees, mostly outsiders. They have always been mischievous about it too, using it to play pranks on their parents and mates alike.
Their late Great grandfather then decided to put a distinction between the two Minhos(sounds like Min Hoes).
And even as a child his brother have always been smart and dumb simultaneously, a complete pabo too.
So their great grandfather calls him ‘Lee Know’. Everyone started calling him ‘Lee Know’ too and it just stuck since then. He have proven himself worthy of the name countless times too.
Whenever asked something he will say “I know, you know?”. And the person will answer “Lee Know”. It have always been funny.
Even when our parents died and I asked him
“Hyung”.
He will always say
“I’m here lixie”.
I will tell him with trembling voice “They said our parents won't be coming back”.
He will calmly tell me
“I know little lixie”.
I will tilt my head at him
“You know‽”.
And he will nod assertively “Lee Knows”. With confidence instead of trying to console me like others and tell me that they will be back. He will console me, he always does but in his own unique way. “I’m here lixie, you don't have to worry about anything. I will take care of everything, you know?”. He will assure me every time. And he did take care of everything. The best brother anyone can ever have, yet I had ignored him for years. I shut him out because of a friend that couldn't care less for our friendship.
