*just a heads up that this is a flashback chapter, and trigger warning of briefly mentioned abuse*

Its lunchtime and the cafe is bustling with life - people surrounding you at every turn. Hyunjin is trying to dodge his way through to the door and almost makes it.. until he walks straight into someone, causing their drink to go over their shirt and all over the floor.

"Oh shit. I-im so sorry." He immediately apologises using near by napkins to wipe at the man's shirt, not noticing the strangers bemused smirk.

The strangers hands encases his own to stop the frantic wiping at his shirt. "Dont worry about it, honestly I didnt like this shirt. Plus it gives me an excuse to get into work late." He chuckles, hyunjins hands moving to the back of his neck - as if he was trying to rub away the flush of embarrassment creeping up his neck.

The taller male holds out his hand to the boy, "I'm johnny by the way, johnny suh."
Hyunjin takes his hand in his own, smiling slightly as he shakes it, "Hwang hyunjin."

It's been a few days since the encounter between johnny and hyunjin. They both exchanged numbers and have been talking basically non-stop since then.

Johnny had asked hyunjin out to coffee yesterday - and of course hyunjin agreed (after screaming to felix obviously) - so now hyunjin is getting ready; stressing about how he looks.

"Too flashy... too cutesy..." he mumbles, throwing random pieces of clothing from his wardrobe (cLoSeT) onto his bed. "AHA!" He exclaims, "Perfect."

-

Since that day, johnny and hyunjin went out on more and more 'dates', until the older (Johnny) asked out the other - that was 3 months ago.

The two are in the kitchen of Johnny's flat: hyunjin seated at the table scrolling through instagram, whilst the elder is making coffee for the two of them. Hyunjin just so happens to have stopped on a picture that he has liked of another man - making a swell of anger and jealousy to surge through johnny.

He yanks his boyfriends phone out of his hands and stares at the picture and the comment that hyunjin was about to post
"Looking good babes "

"What the fuck is this?!" Johnny shouts, hyunjin flinching back before standing up to try and grab his phone back - only to have the taller hold it above his reach.

"No I don't think so. Who the fuck is this? And why are you calling him 'babes'? Are you seeing him behind my back?!"

His boyfriends paranoia and smothering possessiveness makes anger bubble in the pit of hyunjins stomach - to the point where he doesn't care how he acts now.

"Okay, first of all that's my bestfriend. Second of all I'm not seeing ANYONE behind your back - I've already told you that I'm loyal. But I dont know about you - always sneaking out or getting out of dates with me. How do I know that you're not cheating on me?!" The younger rants, not fully realising the words falling from his mouth as his finger jabs lightly into Johnny's chest.

This sends the taller over the edge. He drops the phone on the table and takes a harsh grip of hyunjins wrists pushing him towards the wall - pinning him against it with his body, a hiss of pain falling from the smallers lips as the small of his back makes contact with the edge of the wall.

"Dont ever accuse me of being disloyal again," he hisses angrily into hyunjins ear, digging his fingers into the youngers wrists, " I've been nothing but good to your sorry ass for 3 months now - dont make me regret that." He pulls away and his palm makes contact with hyunjins cheek - an ugly red mark quickly forming in place of his hand.

With that johnny storms out of the kitchen and into his room, slamming the door behind him - leaving hyunjin to cry alone on the floor of the kitchen. He doesn't move for 10 minutes at least, but he knows he needs to get away; so he goes to the only place he can think of. He goes to felix.

It takes him 20 minutes to reach his bestfriends' flat in a flurry of tears, each one falling down his face stinging the red mark now fully formed on his face. He tries his best to calm down as he frantically knocks on the door, but as soon as he sees felix's shocked expression turn to anger and concern he breaks down - falling to his knees with fat, salty tears running down his cheeks. The orange-haired boy catches him and crouches down next to him, enveloping him in a somewhat comforting embrace - running his hands up and down the crying boys back to soothe his pain.

It isnt until theyre both sat in the brightly lit living room that felix sees the hand shaped mark on hyunjins face - ugly and red in contrast to his usual unblemished, honey skin. "Hyunjin.. what did he do?" The Australian asks tentatively, gently reaching his hand out and allowing his fingertips to brush over the mark before the taller boy flinches back and covers it with his own hand.

"Hyunjin, tell me please. I wont tell anyone unless you want me to."

"H-he saw the comment I w-was gonna make on your p-post and snatched m-my phone away. He accused m-me of cheating on him with you, but I a-argued back and basically accused him of cheating - a-and I wasnt thinking. He g-grabbed my wrists and s-said some really h-horrible shit before he s-slapped me and s-stormed off."

As the older is finishing tears are spilling down his face again, one hand against his cheek whilst the other is wiping at his eyes. Felix's heart clenches in pain for the boy and in anger at his boyfriend - he likes to pretend that he'd go and put Johnny in his place but they both know he wouldnt; instead he pulls hyunjin close to him again and tries to console him as best he can.

Eventually hyunjin falls asleep in felix's embrace, tired eyes giving up their fight and closing slowly. The Australian runs his hands through the sleeping boys hair, wishing that he would see what a bad person his boyfriend is. But he knows he cant force him to do anything, it's his decision after all - but he cant help but wonder how much happier he'd be if he had never met johnny that day.

-

Needless to say, hyunjin didnt break up with him after the kitchen incident. It's not until now, 3 months later, that he finally does. Its after johnny decided to be particularly violent towards hyunjin - coming over to his flat and hitting him repeatedly because johnny had seen him hugging felix and ran away after seeing johnny coming towards them.

Remember when felix told chan that he degraded hyunjin? He lied to him, because he could already see chans hurt and anger. It probably wasnt the best choice, but at least hyunjin gets the opportunity to tell his boyfriend himself.

Right?
