Chapter 31

                                    

                                          
Hyunjin could feel his gut twisting as he watched Felix shut his eyes tight, his lips curling down as the bottom one trembled.
'Hyunjin, I- I ca-'
'Oh would you look at that', a voice suddenly startled them as both of them turned to the direction of the shop's entrance and saw Wooyoung coming walking out with a grin buried between his swollen bruised cheeks.
'Wooyoung? What the hell happened to you?', Felix's eyes widened and Hyunjin tightened his lips as he looked away, wincing when he felt Wooyoung's stare on him while the man let out:
'Ask your boy toy over here', the older man nodded his head towards the red-haired, who huffed under his nose.
He spared a glance to Felix who was currently watching him with a deep frown and his eyes moved down until he gasped and grabbed one of Hyunjin's hands, inspecting his bruised knuckles while emitting a quiet curse.
'What the hell have you done, sugar? Why did you hit him?', Felix asked with a baffled tone and Hyunjin pursed his lips as he scratched the back of his neck with the hand that the blonde wasn't holding.
'Oh, it was because he assumed that I've fucked you again', Wooyoung said lightly, earning himself a death glare from Hyunjin, while the small hand holding the red-haired's tightened it' grip around it.
'What? Hyunjin... what the hell were you thinking to do that'
'And by the way, he got fired because of it-'
'Wooyoung shut the fuck up', Hyunjin barked back at the man who only shrugged his shoulders, fitting his backpack higher up his shoulder as he watched the two with amusement.
'You got /fired/?', Felix raised his voice, making the taller wince one more time as he looked down to his feet.
'Mh, yea, 's just, I got angry', he shrugged, pretty much whispering the words by the end, thinking back on the fire he'd felt consuming his body and mind a bit over an hour ago when he'd been hit with the mental images of Felix with someone else.
'You idiot', Felix hissed but as he said that, a thumb brushed the top of Hyunjin's knuckles gently, the red-haired's eyes zeroing on the action as he felt warmth spreading through his skin upon something so goddamn simple.
'Okay, I'm gonna go now, good luck', Wooyoung said and Felix looked at him and responded with a low 'Bye, hyung, hope the bruises will heal quickly', while Hyunjin curled his fingers around three of Felix's which still held his hand.
'So uh-'
'You need to put treatment over the bruises', Felix murmured as he caressed his knuckles and Hyunjin gulped before his lips twitched in a hesitant grin.
'Well, why don't you do it instead, y'know, to return the favour and all', the red-haired's shoulders tensed as he chuckled breathily. He watched Felix's expression turning from surprised to his features softening a second later before the blonde released an exhale.
'Plus, my mum should be back from work and I don't feel ready to tell her I got fired right away, you'll distract her a bit', he shrugged once again and Felix licked his lips as he seemed to contemplate it, the silence only serving in making Hyunjin's heart beat harder in his chest.
'Um-', Felix mumbled quietly before taking in a deep breath, 'Okay, yeah'.
*************************
'Mum, I'm home', Hyunjin yelled as soon as he opened the door, encouraging Felix to come in with a tilt to his head as he took his shoes off swiftly and left them by the entrance, the blonde imitating the action just when his mother's voice rang from the kitchen.
