a whisper, that was all that came out of Felix's mouth and that was all that lingered over Hyunjin's ears, despite the loudness of the café and the thumping of both their hearts his name from the brunette's mouth was all his ears were able to catch, even in this state of chaos, in this state of misery and war of conscience it still sounded as sweet as it would've before all hell broke lose, sounded as sweet as honey would, as sweet as any poison could 

"Hyunjin"

so perfect, so correct. how could heaven exist somewhere else, somewhere far from human eyes when Hyunjin was right here standing afront it? "wh-what are you doing here?" all it took was a single sight of this ice-cold boy and it made tears pool in Felix's eyes, voice shaking and shallow "I should be asking that" the taller murmured, eyes piercing through Felix even when they were as soft as a fluffy cloud and not being able to stand the heavily intimate gaze Felix looked away licking his lips he let his thoughts wander

his heart was torn between either escaping his ribs like the cage they were or running faster than a horse in race, alas, it chose the latter and began drumming in his ears like a drum that hasn't stopped since it was made. "I...I am here to do my job" those were mere words to any human's ears yet they dug inside Hyunjin's heart worse than any dagger could, fiercer than any bullet, painful than any misery. he opened his mouth to say something but he was silenced by his demons 'of course this will happen, of fucking course it will, you didn't deserve him anyway'

they chanted louder than his sanity could take and it made him stumble over his stable steps before Felix noticed, holding a tight grip over his arm scared he might fall he stared at the boy in front of him with worried eyes who looked as though he'd faint any moment. eyes so void of anything like a desert, lips slightly apart and his chest heaving. there was silence between them as Felix watched the raven head for moments before he blinked away the tears that would've fallen if he hadn't and let go of the latter's arm and pushed him away gently

"you should go"

his words brought Hyunjin back to earth as he gulped saliva down his parched throat, with his mind numb and heart already torn he grabbed a hold back onto Felix's wrist who was about to turn away now that he was free from his grip, and dragged him with himself "Hyunjin!" Felix squealed as he followed Hyunjin's lead and let himself be slipped away from the crowd into a much more muted place, to the staff room

"why-" the door swung open and Felix was pushed inside with Hyunjin following behind as the raven head entered the room and shut the door behind him with a loud sound "what are you doing here?" he questioned, voice calm like the ocean as he held Felix's shoulders and placed him by the wall, holding him in place so he wouldn't try to walk away. the shorter gazed up at Hyunjin's eyes with tears glimmering in them as he tried his best to bite back his sobs "w-work" Felix answered, that was the best he could do when pain was banging at the back of his throat

"the work that I'm supposed to do?" the brunette male looked down at his feet as Hyunjin's hands slipped from his shoulders and were shoved inside the taller's pockets "Hye-jin called and-" Felix tried to explain without breaking down but he was cut off by a gentle voice "I know, but why didn't you just call me?" he lowered himself and leaned in toward Felix's face, matching their height but he didn't force Felix to look up, letting him be

"how-how could I?" his voice went off at the end as sobs took place making his shoulders shake while his tears fell on Hyunjin's shoes, Felix was the one crying but Hyunjin felt the pain and it struck worse than anything. he could bear anything and everything except for this specific boy's tears, and to know that he had been the cause of it was just the epitome of apocalypse "I don't...want to bother you, Hyunjin--just go, Please" he sobbed harder, head still hung low he placed his palms flat on Hyunjin's chest and pushed him away softly but enough for him to be moved
