Hyunjin and Felix found themselves back in the formers room, sat crossed-legged on the elder's bed, facing each other.

Once Felix had stopped sobbing and collected himself, they had agreed that they'd talk about the problems, difficulties or insecurities they were having in their relationship, so something like this would be prevented next time. 

Hyunjin took a deep breath and blew it out, as if to prepare himself. "I'll start then." He spoke, Felix nodding in response and beckoning for the taller to continue. "Okay... so- uhm... I'm... really bad at expressing myself, so if you ever feel that I'm neglecting you or not complimenting you as much as others would, that why, and I'm sorry, just call me out for it..." Hyunjin explained, but Felix only looked at him in confusion, his head tilted and brows furrowed.

"Hyunjin... What do you mean..? You've literally complimented me more than anyone has in the span of a day and showered me in more attention than Seungmin ever has... and we've been living together for like 2 years now!" Felix exclaimed, taking the elders hands in the process and gazing genuinely into Hyunjin's deep, brown orbs. 

The taller looked taken-back, baffled. He had been over thinking all this time that the younger felt neglected around him and would eventually leave him for someone who complimented and paid more attention to him. I had never once crossed his mind that he had actually been unknowingly paying more attention to Felix than he had to anyone, ever. "I-... I have?!" His eyebrows raised in utter disbelief, watching as the smaller boy nodded his had with a small, soft smile. 

Hyunjin let out a breath of relief, blinking rapidly as he processed that he had actually been expressing his emotions. He had always been told he was cold and neglecting by everyone he had been in a past relationship, so the fact that he suddenly felt so comfortable around the shorter blonde, comfortable enough to just let himself go without even recognising it, spoke for itself. 

"Okay, my turn." The younger spoke after a few beats of silence. "Uhh..." He thought for a moment, wondering if he should mention his doubtfulness towards using the word 'love', but eventually decided against it. "I... have a really hard time rejecting people, or just saying 'no' in general." He told the elder.

The latter nodded his head thoughtfully, "I guess it doesn't help that I get jealous easily and usually just walk off when I am..." He thought out loud, thinking that maybe in times when Felix needed to reject someone, like earlier with Chan, instead of getting all jealous and stropping off, he should help the younger out and step in. 

The blonde laughed lightly and shook his head quickly. "No, not really." He said with a reassuring smile on his face. 

Hyunjin laughed along, mirroring the younger boy's contagious smile. "So I guess you want me to, like, step in, or help you out when something like that comes along?" He asked, a teasing edge to his voice. 

Felix nodded his head gratefully, a full on grin forming on his face. "That would be nice, yeah." He breathed out.

Felix's gaze roamed over all of Hyunjins features, his thought fully consumed with how much he loved the man in front of him. Hyunjin had basically offered to change himself just for Felix, of course for the better, which Felix was extremely grateful for, but at the same time, he didn't want the elder having to go through all the troubles of changing himself, but never actually being himself. "But, Hyunnie..?" 

"Hm?"

"Don't change yourself too much... I still want you to be yourself because I lo- like you for who you are." Felix spoke softly, hoping Hyunjin would ignore his small slip up.
