Hyunjin and Felix {you} decided to hang out and meet up in the convenience store hyunjin went to Felix’s house waiting for him the Felix and hyunjin walked to the convenience store The convenience store’s neon sign flickered above them, casting a soft glow onto the empty sidewalk. Felix leaned against the cold metal railing outside, a can of soda in his hand, while Hyunjin stood beside him, peeling the wrapper off a lollipop with lazy fingers.

It was past midnight, the streets quiet except for the occasional buzz of a passing car. These late-night meetups had become their thing—no plans, no reason, just one of them texting “You up?” and the other showing up without question.

Felix took a sip of his drink, side-eyeing Hyunjin. “You always drag me out at the worst hours.”

Hyunjin smirked. “And yet, you always come.”

Felix huffed, shaking his head. “Yeah, yeah.”

They stood there for a while, comfortable in the silence. The air was crisp, the kind that made everything feel sharper, more real.

Hyunjin suddenly nudged Felix’s arm. “Let’s walk.”

Felix raised a brow. “Where?”

Hyunjin shrugged, already stuffing his hands into his pockets. “Nowhere.”

Felix sighed but pushed off the railing, falling into step beside him. They walked past darkened storefronts and dimly lit streets, their footsteps the only sound echoing in the quiet.

At a crosswalk, Hyunjin slowed. Without thinking, he reached for Felix’s hand, his fingers barely brushing against his. Felix felt it instantly—the way his breath caught, the way his pulse quickened.

Hyunjin kept his eyes forward. “Is this okay?” he asked, voice softer now.

Felix stared down at their hands for a moment before intertwining their fingers, squeezing just slightly.

“Yeah,” he murmured.

The light turned green, but they didn’t move right away. They just stood there, fingers laced together, caught somewhere between friendship and something more.
