Keep With You || Hyunlix

part 35. used

Consciousness slowly began to crawl its way through Felix as he opened his eyelids slowly with much difficulty as if they weighed kilos. Confusion also seeped in as he saw darkness spread throughout everywhere and nowhere infront of him.

After that, all the thoughts took a beeping pause as the awareness of the churning pain in the back of his head announced its presense-an unwelcoming one.

"Ugh.... What's happening?" The words made their way of his mouth as whisper while he shut down his eyes because of the impact the pain back in his head had on him.

He again opened his eyes to look if there's any source of light he could find in this suffocating place, but he found none. He didn't feel the umbrescence in this darkness like he usually does with Hyunjin which made him hyper aware about his surroundings, like this place would be far from pleasant.

Felix began to try to remember what happened before this, "I woke up... went to kitchen....." It then clicked him. He was hit in his head and maybe was now kidnapped too.

He began to scavenge in his brain about all the possibilities of him being kidnapped and all the possible people to kidnap him and it all dragged back to the same thing: love killers.

He tried to move his arms and feet but was unsuccessful, he realized that they were chained.

Everything began to make sense, everything seemed more confusing and everything felt more scary now. What now? How to escape? These were some of the thoughts along with the nonsense thoughts running through Felix's mind.

"Oh, someone's finally awake now" a gentle and calm voice wrapped on far from gentle intentions spoke amongst the darkness and Felix's roaming thoughts which made him shiver internally.

"Where am I? Why did you kidnap me?" Felix asked "for the second question, you already know the answer. And for the first question, I'd rather not answer you because you couldn't do shit even if you'd know" the voice spoke and suddenly a light flickered.

The light was bright yet too dim to let Felix see the face of man that stood far from him near the door where the switchboard was placed. The man's steps echoed throughout the room till they took a halt when his body became visible to Felix in the light.

"Long time no see, dear nephew" the man spoke, making Felix gasp. His cold face still the same as the one Felix saw years ago, his hair now longer till his neck as the curtains waved on the side of his forehead were parted unevenly which made his face look more handsome.

"U...uncle Yoongi?..." Felix let out in surprised tone and Yoongi let out a loud laugh. How did Felix miss out on his voice? His voice too remained unchanged but now it was dangerous instead of the actual gentle one he used to use with Felix and Minho.

Felix thought if his voice tone was same all along and if he was the one who was in the dark all the time, that his uncles just pretended to cherish him all those years.

"I guess now you know it's me. Sorry for such an uneventful reunion but you know, I had no choice." Yoongi spoke casually as if he was watering his flowers instead of kidnapping someone.

"Why...?" His voice was a mere whisper which was likely to be inaudible if the room wasn't so silent, yet it broke when it came out of his throat which suddenly started to feel clogged.

"I'm not the one with either sympathy or empathy so I'll be straightforward with you. This is who I was all along, so was your uncle Jimin. He truly trusted those people you call your fathers but who knew that they were our enemies?" Yoongi spoke out of pure hatred as if they were never once his friends.

"But you guys were bestfriends" Felix spoke shakily with watery voice. "That's what we thought when we were young. Bestfriends. Yea, we were bestfriends once, but it all changed. The world is not all flowers and rainbows and unicorns the way you think it is and the way you make it." Yoongi said.

"I don't understand..." Felix whined like a child in denial and Yoongi stepped further, something familiar flickered in his eye, something he used to look a Felix with.

Yoongi stopped infront of Felix and kneeled where Felix sat down "does your head hurt?" He asked.

"It does.... Please don't change the topic.... I want to know what happened. I'm not a fool, I know you truly care. I see it, so please don't try to hide" Felix said and Yoongi lowered his head, "how's Minho?" He asked.

"He's fine, he has three cats now and a loving boyfriend, he's my bestfriend. He used to miss you." Felix said. Right now, he was taking to his uncle Yoongi -Yoongi who was a tsundere, Yoongi who subtly spoiled both the siblings when they were young, Yoongi who used to love Minho and Felix, Yoongi who liked cats- not some love killer whose motive is to kill the soulmates.

Felix saw how his shoulder twitched when he said how Minho 'used' to miss him. "His cats' name are soonie, doongi and dori. Dori's the youngest. He named the first two similar to your name because he hoped he would meet you someday and show you his cats because how much you love cats. He used to be lonely when I went to study in Australia because no one talked to him about how cats are better than humans. He thinks I don't know it but I noticed it everytime your name was mentioned and he looked away" Felix continued.

"Enough. Please, don't speak further" Yoongi said as he pursed his lips but Felix didn't stop, "I met uncle Jimin the other day at the mall... He misses us despite everything and still calls me his nephew so proudly and lovingly. I'm telling you all this that no matter how much papa, dad and Minho hyung pretend as if they don't care and hate you, they still care the same, they still consider you as a part of their lives and so do I " Felix finally paused.

"And what's it going to do good to any of us? We come from different motives and have different duties, we are supposed to be enemies" Yoongi spoke in frustrated tone.

"Boss will be here soon, Suga" a voice spoke from outside the door.

"Sometimes we just have to open the eyes, uncle" Felix said.
