(You are Felix) Felix sat in the corner of his room, knees pulled to his chest as the flickering candlelight danced across his hollow features. He’d been struggling for months—depression consuming him, anorexia leaving him weaker every day. The only thing keeping him afloat was Hyunjin, his best friend and the brightest part of his life. But even that light was dimming.
Lately, Hyunjin had been distant, and it hurt more than Felix wanted to admit. Somewhere along the way, Felix realized his feelings for Hyunjin had grown into something deeper. He loved the way Hyunjin’s laugh lit up the room, the way his eyes sparkled when he talked about his dreams. But Felix couldn’t bring himself to say anything.
When Hyunjin invited him over to share "exciting news," Felix's heart leapt with cautious hope. But when he arrived, Jeongin was there too, holding Hyunjin’s hand. Felix’s world tilted as Hyunjin introduced Jeongin as his boyfriend, his face glowing with happiness. Felix forced a smile, congratulating them as his chest tightened painfully.
That night, Felix couldn’t sleep. The image of Hyunjin’s hand in Jeongin’s played over and over in his mind. His unspoken feelings consumed him, amplifying the self-hatred he’d been battling. The one person he loved was now out of reach.
A few days later, Hyunjin showed up at Felix’s apartment unannounced. "Felix, are you okay? You’ve seemed… off."
Felix froze. He wanted to scream, to cry, to tell Hyunjin everything. But he smiled weakly instead. "I’m fine. Just tired."
Hyunjin wasn’t convinced. He stepped closer, his voice soft. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
Felix’s breath hitched. His voice cracked as he whispered, "Not this."
Hyunjin pulled him into a hug, holding him tightly. Felix clung to him, unable to stop the tears burning in his eyes. The words he couldn’t say swirled in his mind, but he stayed silent, breaking quietly in Hyunjin’s arms
