Chapter Twenty-Nine

HYUNJIN | FELIX

I was starting to feel really warm as I watched Han mix the names in the bowl slowly. However, watching the small smile grow on his face as he looked at Hyunjin made me raise an eyebrow curiously.

"Hyunjin and Felix."

Oh my gosh...

My prior encounter with Minho was filled with him telling me stories about him and Han's relationship, something I wasn't even aware of until tonight. Now, the thought of being stuck in a confined space with the one person I was hoping to not be with was actually happening.

The room erupted into cheers as the two of us exchanged shocked faces. Clearing his throat, I watched as Hyunjin stood up and looked at me with slight hesitation etched on his face. "Let's get this over with..."

"R-Right."

Both of us walked towards the closet, with him opening the door for the two of us and gesturing him to enter. Once inside and separated from the group, I noticed how he tried turning on the lights but to no avail, nothing came on. The only thing providing a source of light was the crack underneath the door. I already knew how tight of a space the closet was, but now it felt as though the closet shrunk even smaller as we were damn near pressed against each other.

"Shit...I'm sorry about this." He said quietly.

I shook my head, eternally grateful for the darkness as I could feel my blush on my face. "I-It's okay..."

Silence came over us, and all I could think about was my heartbeat pulsating in my eardrums. However, after a few seconds of no words being exchanged, Hyunjin decided to break the silence with a sudden apology. "Felix...I'm sorry about everything."

"W-what?"

"Please don't make me repeat myself..." He sighed dramatically.

I looked up at him curiously, not realizing the distance between our faces. "Why are you apologizing...?"

"I shouldn't have done what I did to you in the hallway, and I shouldn't have been so rude to you. I'm sorry. If you want to go on the date with Jake, I won't stop you." He whispered, instantly looking away from me.

A small giggle came out of me in response, making him look back at me accusingly. "Why are you laughing?"

"Hyunjin...you don't really mean that, do you?" I giggled.

"Why do you think that?"

I don't where the confidence came from, but suddenly, I came closer to him. This time, I could tell our faces were only inches away from each other, as his cologne was in direct line with my nose. "Hyunjin...kiss me." I whispered.

Through the darkness, I watched his eyes grow wide. "W-What?"

"Kiss me..." I pleaded.

Please...

Before I had a chance to take back my words, Hyunjin grabbed my face in both of my hands and pulled me onto his lips. I heard a small groan escaped him as my own hands wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer to me. Wanting to be even closer, I slightly opened my mouth to him, feeling his tongue enter inside without haste. With the taste of his reminiscent drink on his tongue, we both gave into the built up desire that was coursing through our hazy minds.

He then ran one of his hands through my hair, a small moan left my throat as I felt chills run through my body. In this moment, I knew that this was something I had never experienced before and the feeling was exhilarating.

Briefly pulling away to catch our breaths, we both stared at each other with soft smiles.

"Can I kiss you again...?" He asked in a hushed whisper.

"Please do..."

Not wasting another second, he pulled me and crashed our lips together once more. The urgency to filled the void became apparent, as I realized that I had truly fallen for the boy in front of me.

For what seemed to be forever, I was the one to slowly pull away and turn to the closed door with a raised eyebrow. "Hasn't it been over seven minutes already...?"

"You're right...Why hasn't the timer gone off?"

Opening the door, we saw that all of our friends had disappeared from the room. Hyunjin silently cursed. "I'm going to kill them."

I giggled. "You're not. I think they did this on purpose."

"I'm so sorry...if I had known Minho planned this, then I wouldn't have-"

Cutting him off, I placed a kiss on his cheek with a smile. "It's fine. I'm actually happy..." This time I noticed a blush on his cheeks, causing me to giggle. "Is the Hyunjin blushing?"

"Felix, shut up." Hyunjin rolled his eyes, grabbing one of my hands in his own gently. "I'm not mad about this either..."

"So...where does this leave us...?"

He playfully scoffed, gently pulling my hand toward the staircase. "I think this means you're completely off limits now. Jake can fuck off."

"Hyunjin, I already canceled the date with him." I teased.

Pausing mid-step, he turned to me with a raised eyebrow. "What? When did you do that? Better yet, why did you ask for my opinion?"

"I wanted to get your honest answer...Hyunjin... I-I like you..." I whispered, looking away from him shyly. "I like you a lot..."

A chuckle escaped from him as I felt him lift my chin with his free hand up, placing a tender kiss on my lips with a smile. "I think it's obvious that the feeling is mutual, Lix... Go on a date with me tomorrow."

I nodded with a grin. "I'd like that..."

Exchanging one more kiss, he pulled me upstairs to return back to the party. Once immersed in the loud music and people dancing, he gently pulled me through the crowd and up the stairs toward what looked to be a hallway full of bedroom doors.

"H-Hyunjin...where are we going?" I stuttered nervously.

He squeezed my hand and gave me a soft smile. "Don't worry, I'm not going to try anything. I just want to cuddle with you privately...If that's okay?"

"Sounds perfect...But what about our friends?"

"I think each of them are having their own personal connection right now. They'll be fine." He winked, causing a furious blush to rise on my cheeks at the thought.

Reaching the end of the hallway, I noticed a painted door filled with abstract artwork. Hyunjin unlocked and opened the door, revealing a large sleeping space with artwork hanging all over the walls. "Welcome to my room..."

"These are amazing..." I said in awe, being sure to take off my shoes before stepping inside and looking at each painting slowly. "You really love art?" I asked.

Hyunjin nodded gently, wrapping his arms from behind me. "You're the first person I've let see my room and my projects..."

"I don't know what to say..."

"You don't have to say anything. It's time to cuddle!" Suddenly, he picked me up and carried me to his bed, laying me down on my back while hovering over me. Giggling, my breath hitched as we locked eyes with each other. His hand brushed back a piece of my hair behind my ear and I could see a smile growing on his face. "I'm glad you came...Without realizing it, you've had my heart from the moment we made eye contact on the first day of school..."

"I'm glad I did too..." I whispered. "I'm really happy..."

Leaning down, he placed a lingering forehead kiss before laying down next to me. "Time to cuddle..."
