The auction was great. They got more money than they were expecting, with the date with Felix raising the most, followed by the odd request from the student body (mainly Chan) of not a date but a small chokehold from Changbin, (could only guess who won that) in Seungmin’s fine opinion it was rigged.

  Following the large sum from that particular thing was a date with Hyunjin which was won by a guest. After the auction and after the guests left the after-party began.

  Which slowly went from a nice thing to a typical party, at that point, Felix left. He was completely exhausted and he just wanted his bed. Of course, life would not allow him the luxury of sleep.

   He groaned as he walked over to answer the door.

    Hyunjin was standing there. His slightly long hair now pulled back into a small ponytail, half of his shirt unbuttoned revealing fading marks from a couple nights ago, and his tie untied and hanging loosely around his neck.

   “What are you doing here? I was about to go to sleep,” Felix stated.

  “I want to talk,” Hyunjin said.

   “I don’t. I want to sleep. I have classes tomorrow and then after a long day of running from one class to the other I have to go on a date because I decided to participate in a dating auction. While you could actually care less about school and all that stuff, I do,”

. Hyunjin just stood there staring at Felix. Millions of thoughts went through his mind and he was just so frustrated.

   “Hello?” Felix waved a hand confused.

  The older scoffed, confusing the younger.

    “I just…” Hyunjin took in a breath, “Every time I think I figured you out a new side appears. It is like a book where you think you’ve seen all the plot twists and you turn the page and… there is another plot twist,” he said.

  “Are you drunk?” Felix questioned.

  “No, I haven’t had anything to drink,”

  “Then what are you talking about, because right now you make no sense,”

   “Felix, you talk about how people have different faces to them and that may be true, but you… you have so many sides to you that it makes it hard for people to get to know you,”

   Felix blinked a couple times, his neck tensing, “People know me,” he said.

  “Do they? Do they know you or do they know the you, you want them to see and know?” The brunet asked

   “I don’t know what you are talking about,”

   Hyunjin doesn’t know what compelled him to keep going especially when he saw the blond’s cheeks turning red and the way he was fidgeting, but he continued to push.

  “You said the same thing to me, Felix. You want to believe that there are so many faces of you because if you admit that the real you is actually behind all of these faces, you would have to confront the pain and emotions that come with showing who you really are.

  It is why you keep people at arm’s length. Chan, Minho, Jisung, you even keep Yuqi at arm's length. You don’t want them to see that,” Hyunjin stated.

   Felix’s face was stoic even when a couple tears fell, “Leave,” His voice was barely above a whisper, but it still reached Hyunjin’s ears.

     “Leave, right now, and lose my number,”

   For a split second Hyunjin caught the sight of what was maybe the real Felix, but just as fast it was gone.

  Hyunjin nodded, his lips pressed together tightly.

  He heard the door close and lock as he walked away. Maybe, he shouldn’t have pressed so hard, but he just wanted to actually know Felix instead of being at arm’s length.

Felix knew him, but he didn’t know Felix and it just felt unfair.
