Lee Felix
2:13 AM September 15, 2020
Happy birthday to me.
Accelerating down the flooded rural highway were hundreds of assorted vehicles, each one transporting individuals consumed in their own lives and pursuits. Each individual with their own story, their own futures.
Perhaps that red semi-compact vehicle was operated by a university student traveling back to her dorm after an exhilarating Tuesday night college party.
Perhaps that silver minivan was operated by a middle-aged father transporting himself, his wife, and his teenage daughter to the Daegu International Airport, fully packed and prepared for their red-eye to Japan.
Perhaps that black luxury SUV was operated by an up-and-coming entrepreneur traveling from Daegu to Seoul on business.
And then there was Lee Felix.
Blood seeped into the neckline of his already soaked black tank, the cotton material adhering to his lean figure like wax paper. He had been stripped of his insulating brown duffle coat minutes before, as well as his phone, his wallet, his watch, and the little dignity he had left in his frail body.
His delicate hand shook vigorously as he brought it to the open slit in his right eyebrow. The brunette winced upon contact, immediately retracting his blood-stained fingertips.
Approximately two hours earlier, Felix had ordered his first ever alcoholic beverage: a cosmopolitan cocktail as advised by his company, Choi Hyeon and friends.
"Cheers to Yongbokkie," Hyeon projected in the densely populated drinking establishment, rising to his feet and raising his glass. "Who has, as of 15 minutes ago, officially reached the age of legal majority."
Hyeon and the rest of the friend group, in addition to surrounding eavesdroppers, erupted in applause, whistles, and boisterous cheers.
Felix's freckled face reddened as he grinned sheepishly.
"Cheers," the brunette flushed, his cocktail glass soon joining his friends' glasses as they hovered above the friend group's reserved table.
The mass of beverage-filled glassware clinked together, the high-pitched sound ringing through the establishment's lively atmosphere like church bells.
