Duuhhhh I'm sorry, I'm so late! Sorry guysss (again) >//<

This chapt is also quite short, but the second part should come soon if you're still around XD. 

I hope you enjoy Hyunjin's pov!

.oO0°*°0Oo.

            Standing still under the entrance of the garden in a perfectly adjusted tuxedo and a smile plastered on the face, Hyunjin greeted each person warmly. At least warmly for him it was because he could not say he was particularly happy to be standing by the flowery archway like some kind of window dressing.

Jaebum might have scolded him for killing the mood of the event with his complete bank face, but as he heard from Jinyoung his face was warm enough to make up for it. There was no point in tiring himself up. He would surely need the energy later and he did not have any particular reason to smile either. He was so bored greeting people he did not know when teasing the cute best man was so much funnier.

Instead of allowing him to leave Jaebum asked him to stay in the garden to help the ones who weren't used to the place and would need some indications to find the right direction.

Yes, today the wedding was held and the long list of persons the couple invited were coming in one by one to fill the place they all spent a week to make as perfect and ideal as it can be for a wedding.

With the umpteenth sigh in three minutes, he refrained from glaring at the couple who asked him the way to the closest bathroom and pointed in the direction in the most unfazed way.

Hyunjin growled. What was he doing, really? Hyunjin was already not fond of family gatherings in general, but weddings were surely on the top of his AVOID list. He hated to be there, being nice with everybody just for the form and not knowing half of them. Most of them would not even be able to remember his name anyway. Why did he agree to be part of this masquerade?

Oh Jinyoung, true. But still, why were people making such a fuss about things like that? It was barely day like any other and they would sign a contract to share their money, time, and kid if one suddenly popped out. No big deal, he thought.

Well, it might be simple for him, he was doing this for Jinyoung. Unlike what he sometimes claimed, Jinyoung liked those romantic things. Or maybe he just liked his soon-to-be wife enough to do all this for her.

Oh and right this male-bridesmaid seemed to like it too. Not that it made much difference in fact.

Thinking about the man, he saw Felix walk toward him and smirked, ready to spice up his boring morning a little bit.

He barely saw the other since the last morning. After his last remark, Felix seemed to be uncomfortable and tried to avoid him. But something in his behaviour told him he did not hate Hyunjin's teasing as much as he wanted to make it seem like.

Hyunjin was confident enough to guess when he caught somebody's eye. May he admit it or not, he was pretty sure he did not let Felix indifferent. It wasn't one-sided either anyway, he could not say the starry freckles, doe eyes and angelic face did not captivate him either. The man was way too pretty and fun to bother to remain impassive.

"Missing me yet?" he asked out loud to the shorter boy, his usual teasing grin already in place.

"You wish," Felix snorted.

Hyunjin chuckled and nodded, amused. He wanted to show Felix he did not go along with his tough act. Without knowing it, Felix had his own way to enlighten Hyunjin's mood with very few things and his pout was surely one of it.

Surprised and a bit fussy, Felix made his tongue cluck against his palate loudly. Pulling a face, he crossed his arms against his chest and looked away for a short time. As he took a deep breath, he focused back on Hyunjin.

"I need you to... no let me rephrase this," Felix corrected immediately when he noticed Hyunjin's smile widen with his use of words, "THEY need your help at the entrance door. I can't stay, I've something to take care of."

"What an excuse to talk to me..." Hyunjin said playfully.

But instead of his usual childish behaviour when he was confronted with Hyunjin's teasing, Felix's eyes looked colder. Now that he looked at him more carefully, Hyunjin noticed he seemed quite preoccupied too.

"Listen, I heard there's a problem with Hyewon, so I'm not in the mood to deal with you," he said.

He looked so seriously worried that Hyunjin did not dare to tease him more. Instead, came closer and nodded in understanding. "Okay, where should I go?"

Since the first time Felix saw him, Hyunjin never looked as serious and sincerely concerned. Taken aback, he stared at him for a minute too long, wondering if his delusional mind did not make the scene up. Hyunjin couldn't simply have this caring tone and gentle reaction just to help him. It was nothing like the man he got to know in the past week.

When he snapped out his thoughts, though, Hyunjin still stood in front of him, more concerned than any stranger could be in this kind of situation. Worried by his lack of reaction, Hyunjin frowned and waved his hand to call his attention.

Pushing all his thoughts aside, Felix shook his head and cleared his voice. He was almost touched by the attention, almost! but he had more important things to deal with for now.

"I... well just follow me," he answered awkwardly, still a bit shocked by Hyunjin's sudden change of behaviour.

They walked toward the building and met there a tiny man in a dark suit who flashed them a cute toothy smile.

"Hum, here," Felix said, never looking up toward Hyunjin. "Jisung will explain to you," he told him with a sign toward the man standing in front of them. "I've to go."

Cursing against his childish reaction, Felix walked away as fast as he could. Hyunjin wasn't doing that for him, he rationalized. It was for his brother, for Jinyoung. Because if there was a problem with Hyewon, then it might be a problem with the wedding too and then his friend would be hurt. Yes, Hyunjin was doing this for Jinyoung, he repeated to himself few times as he climbed the stairs.

Despite his attempts to convince himself, he recalled Hyunjin's sudden change and his caring gaze. For a short time, he almost believed Hyunjin had been doing this for him, to help him or because he was caring for him... ah~ "What a stupid idea Lee Felix!" He cursed out loud.

No way, this wasn't possible at all. The only thing this man had been doing since they met was bothering him and making fun of his taste. There was no reason for it to change suddenly. Surely, Hyunjin would not care about his feelings.
