The City Of Fallen Stars | Hyunlix

Hollow

Hyunjin was running in complete darkness there was nothing around him. At the end of the darkness there was a small light focused on a boy lying unconscious on the ground. It was Felix

Hyunjin kept running towards Felix but no matter how fast he ran he didn't get close to him tears were coming out of Hyunjin's eyes as he fell down on the ground on both knees

Felix I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Hyunjin woke up with a start. He could feel a tear gliding down his cheek he quickly raised his hand to wipe it but stopped as he winced in pain. He was shirtless, he could see white bandages covering his lower abdomen and Jeongin asleep next to the bed, holding onto Hyunjin's hand. Hyunjin lightly squeezed Jeongin's hand.

Jeongin woke up in a flash rubbing his eyes. Hyunjin gave him a sad smile.

"OH MY GOD HYUNG YOU'RE AWAKE!!!" Jeongin started to cry.

"I thought I'd lose you. I thought- I thought you'd never open your eyes again." He was crying so hard.

"Its okay Jeongin." Hyunjin said as he winced in pain again trying to sit straight up on the bed. "I'm awake now." Hyunjin got out of the bed and stretched.

He had to find Felix. That was the only thought that was keeping Hyunjin alive.

"How long have I been out for?"

"Three days."

Shit

"How did you find me?"

"I didn't he did." Hyunjin looked over as Jeongin pointed at a pale looking boy who seemed to be the same age as Hyunjin.

"I found you at the entrance of the gate as I was passing by. Sorry I couldn't help you, I was also scared. I dialed the first number I saw on your iScreen. It was here."

"He's been here since the day he brought you here. Also Chan hyung was the one who took out the bullet and treated the wound." Jeongin chimed in.

Hyunjin got his shirt from the nearby chair and started to button it up. "Why did he help me?"

"He said he had to help you because you were the only person who can find Felix hyung." Jeongin looked down.

"Damn right, I have to get going." Hyunjin strapped his sword on his back.

"Wait where are you exactly going? Do you have a plan or any idea how to cross the wall without getting killed by guards? No right? I can help you." The boy who found Hyunjin stated.

"Do YOU have a plan then?"

"I used to work for your brother before he killed my father." Hyunjin immediately felt bad for the boy.

"Hey..." he put his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"What's your name? I'm sorry about what he did to you."

"I'm Kim Seungmin. And if there is any way I can take revenge its by helping you. So please let me."

"You want revenge? Sure why not. I like the sound of it. If you can handle things I don't mind."

"I have a plan. Let's go." He smiled and headed out.

Hyunjin turned around to Jeongin who was almost crying for about the third time since he woke up. He messed up Jeongin's hair and smiled.

"Your hyung will come back with Felix hyung so don't worry and wait for us, okay?"

Jeongin nodded sadly.

Hyunjin turned to leave. "Hyung wait." Jeongin grabbed Hyunjin's sleeve. He turned around to take one last look at the boy.

"I was going to give this to you but lost the chance." He placed something on Hyunjin's plam and closed up his fingers around it.

It was the daisy pin Felix gave him.

"I- I thought I lost this." Hyunjin tightly held on to the pin for a while as it reminded him of Felix smiling brightly. He pinned it back onto his collar.

"You dropped it here. I knew it was yours and kept it."

Hyunjin wrapped his arms around Jeongin and pulled him into a hug. Jeongin couldn't hold back the tears, he was now quietly sobbing on to Hyunjin's shoulder.

Hyunjin broke the hug and gave Innie a small smile and stepped out of the orphanage main door into the darkness.

Seungmin was already waiting for him at the exit.

"So where do we head first? Is there anything you want to grab." Seungmin looked at Hyunjin.

"I need to gear up for this. Its not going to be easy. We need to go see Doc and get equipments first."

"Oh okay."

"How can I trust you? I don't know you. I'm thankful that you saved me but I don't know..." Hyunjin said without looking at Seungmin.

Seungmin sighed. "I used to be one of those people who did the tracking and making the plans to capture targets for him to sell, but my father couldn't pay the amount he loaned from Hyunjun. He threatened my dad using me and I didn't even know." He looked down.

"And one day he killed my father right in front of me... said that's what happened when people go against him. So I ran away."

"I have no intention to deceive you. I just want to get revenge and leave this wretched city. I don't care if its City twelve."

Hyunjin didn't say a word. His brother, why was that man still alive after all that shit he did? He didn't deserve to be called a human.

"Doc I need to switch blades." He said as he tapped on the door to the workshop.

"Sure come on in then." Doc said as he eyed Seungmin who was trying hard to act like he wasn't scared of the weird looking old man in front of him.

"From the looks of it this bookworm behind you doesn't seem to know anything about fighting or weapons so-" he threw a satchel at Seungmin. "-fill the small containers with water and keep whatever book or thing in the other side. There's a knife in the side pocket just in case."

He handed Hyunjin the newly sharpened blade. He swiped it at a nearby plant cutting it in half in an instant.

He had to be ready for whatever that came out at him.

Felix please hold on for a little longer
