THE GOOD AND THE BAD - DANCERACHA

~CHAPTER 43~

~HYUNJIN P.O.V.~

As soon as I heard Felix call me I turned around and met with a pair of eyes glistening in worry. I did my best to recompose myself as he sat next to me expectantly.

"Well," I sniffled, "not really..."

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?"

"Well, I can't go much in detail, because it's just something that... not many people know, only Minho..."

He nodded.

"So something happened with Minho-Hyung?"

"Well, yeah. We had an argument, and he brought up things from my past that he knew would hurt me to prove his point."

"Wow, that's low... that must've hurt a lot..."

I nodded, feeling my eyes water again.

"I was very sad and anxious at that time, I lost people that I loved and only gained negative things out of the experience. Minho helped me through it, but when he brought it up in the argument just to get a reaction out of me... it hurt me, it felt like the pain I had felt back then..."

"Like betrayal?" he asked.

The word sends shivers down my spine. Minho, betrayal? Was that the word I was looking for? Would Minho ever do that to me? Was there no one who I could rely on? No one except this half friend half crush that happens to act like the person who hurt me the most?

"I don't think I'm ready to answer or think about that..." I said, looking at him in the eyes.

His eyes softened, and he smiled at me.

"That's totally okay. Do you want some chocolate? It always makes me feel better when I'm feeling down." (Not me putting Remus Lupin references everywhere lately)

That made me smile, it made my heart less sore.

"Sure."

He grabbed his bag and searched through the front pocket before taking out an individual piece of milk chocolate with almond chips, he handed it to me.

"Here you go."

"Thank you."

I unwrapped it and split it in half, handing the slightly bigger part to him.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I would love to share this small source of comfort with you."

He smiled.

"Okay, but you need more comfort than I do, so I'll take the smaller part, thank you."

And before I had time to protest he snatched the smaller piece of chocolate out of my other hand, quickly putting it in his mouth, leaving me no choice but to eat the bigger one.

The atmosphere fell into a comfortable silence, and I too drained from the fight, and so tired of keeping my walls up, decided to rest my head on Felix's shoulder.

It took him by surprise, and I saw his face grow slightly red, but I couldn't bring myself to question it, and simply let him run his soft hands through my hair, relaxing my whole body.

"Hyungie," he said after some time had passed.

"Hmmm?"

"It's starting to get late, we should be going home, I know Minho and you aren't on good terms, but I'm sure he still worries about you."
