(You are Felix) Felix sat alone, his phone lighting up the dark room. Another fight with Changbin left him feeling drained and trapped in their toxic relationship. Scrolling aimlessly through Instagram, a message popped up from someone named Hyunjin.
Hyunjin: Hey, Felix! I found your profile and thought you seemed interesting. Want to chat?
Despite his hesitation, Felix replied. Their conversation was easy and comforting. Hyunjin, who lived in the U.S., mentioned he’d be returning to Seoul in two months. For the first time in ages, Felix felt a spark of happiness.
As they grew closer, Felix couldn’t bring himself to mention Changbin. One evening, Hyunjin noticed something was wrong.
Hyunjin: You okay? You seem off today.
After a long pause, Felix admitted, Felix: I’m in a relationship, but it’s… not good. My boyfriend is controlling and hurts me emotionally.
Hyunjin’s reply came quickly. Hyunjin: Felix, you deserve to feel safe and loved. I’m here for you.
Opening up to Hyunjin was terrifying but liberating. His support gave Felix the courage to imagine a life free from Changbin’s control.
Two months later, Hyunjin arrived in Seoul, and they met at a café. Felix felt an overwhelming sense of safety in Hyunjin’s presence. They talked openly, and Hyunjin promised to help Felix take the steps needed to leave Changbin.
