Seoul Institute of Visual Arts. – The following morning.
LEE FELIX
We stood before the institute; I was ready to enter, but Hyunjin remained frozen in his place. I looked at him, confused, before seeing the worried expression on his face.
"What is it?"
"I don't know if I can do this, Felix," Hyunjin admitted.
"What? Walking to the institute?" I asked, confused.
"I want to hold your hand while entering the institute," Hyunjin revealed, taking me by surprise.
"Oh! Uh. Well. It's okay, you can take my hand," I told Hyunjin while opening my hand and placing it closer to him.
"Won't others judge us?" Hyunjin worriedly asked.
"And what about it? We shouldn't care; they don't matter," I pointed out before holding Hyunjin's hand, myself. "Here. Grasp it tightly, and let's walk together."
Once Hyunjin saw my smile, his grin appeared. Then, he nodded and followed my lead.
"Let's go, then."
Hyunjin held my hand as we entered the institute's front gate. Soon, we met with our friends, and their expressions once they saw us together made me chuckle. Hyunjin embarrassedly looked away but continued grasping my hand.
"Congrats! You look great together," Han pointed out while Changbin formed a heart with his hands while directing it at us.
"Nice one, brother," Minho teased before joining the rest of our friends. They walked before us while still making fun of us. I rolled my eyes while looking at their mocking; however, I felt Hyunjin's grasp about to fade.
Immediately, I looked behind and realized Hyunjin was glancing around; he intently analyzed the students around us. Everyone gossiped while keeping their stares on us.
I grasped Hyunjin's hand tighter than before, causing him to look at me, bewildered. "It's okay, don't mind the people around us."
Hyunjin released a short sigh before standing more confidently; he pulled his hair back and appeared colder. He was putting on an act. "Hyunjin," I murmured, slightly upset.
"Alright! I will try to ignore everyone," Hyunjin anxiously answered.
"Act like yourself," I told him before following our mates to the building.
Hyunjin stood closer to me while pressing my hand from time to time. I subtly smiled as we walked to our lockers.
