Okay, having outgoing friends is absolutely not for the weak.
Graduation, the thing you had been looking forward to all 4 years of high-school had just passed. Finally, the idea of never logging into that damn school email sounds like heaven on earth.
It’s summer, meaning three months of freedom before it’s straight to college. You’re 18 now, officially an adult. But you will admit, attending a party hosted by a random rich asshole from your school wasn’t exactly what you had planned to celebrate this recent freedom.
It wasn’t your idea ofcourse. If anything, you wish you could be at home binging a new episode of that one show you started recently. Being surrounded by a bunch of alcohol and random kids smoking is pretty much the last thing you wanted to do on your first weekend off.
“Cmon! It’ll be fun!” Yuna exclaims, grabbing your hand and yanking you towards the huge mansion. Woah. This is the biggest house you’ve seen in a while.
Where you’re from, it’s not uncommon to see rich kids with huge houses. Actually, it’s pretty common. But none exactly compare to the “prince of the school’s” house. Well, that prince of the school stuff is just bullshit.
What’s so special about owning a big home or having a butler? It’s certainly something you would never understand. You’re well off, but compared to these kids, you might as well have nothing.
And it showed in the way they treated you. Whether it was bullying or judgmental stares in the hallway, it’s like they were always watching and judging, waiting to make fun of you.
So why your friends would want to hang out with a bunch of pricks who put on fake smiles behind all their evil is beyond you. Especially in the house of somebody like him.
“Please let me go home.” You whine, closing your eyes and the sound of music blasting out of the windows of the home. Hopefully someone will call the cops for a noise complaint. No wait… it’s not like the cops will do anything anyways.
“I’m not letting you spend your only summer before you go off to college in your room rotting. Please, y/n? You just need to come out of your comfort zone.” Yunjin, your other friend begs, pouting her lips at you like a kicked puppy.
A deep sigh leaves your lips. Of course she’s the one to try and guilt trip.
“Fine. But if any thing pops off, I’m calling an Uber.” You oblige, finally walking into the house.
There’s so many people here, yet it seems empty because of the sheer size of the house. Loud, bass boosted music carries itself throughout the entire house, echoing throughout your ears.
People are scattered throughout the building. Some just mingling, others drinking & dancing. Jeez, how the hell did this prick get his parents to agree to this.
“Hey! My crush is here! I didn’t know he was coming.” Yuna shouts, turning towards you with a giddy smile. “I’ll be right back, k?”
Before you can mutter a single sound of protest, she scatters toward the random pile of people. When you look to your right towards Yunjin, you notice she’s missing as well.
Great. She could be anywhere.
You’re in the last place you wanted to be, and now you’re alone with a bunch of random people. You would normally leave, but you need a ride from Yuna first, and the Uber was just a front. Of course today was a day you left your wallet.
Not only that, but it’s the middle of summer, so it’s hot as all get out. Seriously, how does a place like this not have a working A/C?
A thirst sets itself into your throat, stinging slightly. You walk over to a table with drinks, but it’s only alcohol, the smell burning the insides of your nostrils.
“Excuse me?” You ask, walking up to a random person that was laundering around the drinks table. “Is there any water?”
“No, only alcohol. Who even are you?” The boy answers rudely, staring at you with an expression mixed with disgust & confusion.
“Thank you, I guess?” You reply, a condescending tone falling onto your lips. Welp, with how bad this thirst is, I guess you don’t have much of a choice.
You pick up a plastic red cup, the drink shimmering in the light coming from the ceiling. A deep breath, then a sip.
It’s spicy, yet it’s surprisingly pleasant. It has a nice floral ring to it while also obviously including liquor.
You finish slurping on the drink, quickly picking up another to try. Different than the last one you had, but still delicious.
Honestly, by this point, it’s hard to tell exactly how long you’ve been here. Maybe it’s dark, you can’t tell. All the blinds in the house are down.
Your phones somewhere, you don’t know. The only thing you do know right now is that you’ve definitely had too much to drink.
Your walking is unsteady, and you can feel the fogginess in your head. Okay, maybe 2 cups full was a bit much to have at one moment as a beginner.
Another thing you’re aware of, it’s been way too long since you’ve last seen Yunjin or Yuna. There’s also significantly less people in the house than there was when you got here.
“Oomph!” A deep voice shrieks as you feel your body bump into something. Looking up, you see a face, but you can’t exactly make out who it is.
“You’re pretty. Can I have your number?” Something you’d never expect to say tumbles from your lips, catching you slightly off guard. The alcohol is outweighing the logic in your body telling you to go look for Yuna & Yunjin and is telling you to keep talking to this random handsome guy.
“Flattered, but are you drunk? You have a reputation for hating people like me.” The voice says, soothing your ears.
“Forget that, I’m fine. Number. Now.” You slur, smiling and looking for your phone in imaginary pockets. “Fuck, where’d my phone go.”
“I think you’re drunk. Did you come with anyone, y/n?” They ask, voice sincere and soft. …Wait, how did they know my name?
“You know me?” You ask, an odd feeling washing over you.
“Yeah, I think you’re cute. We were in the same english class, how could I not.” he chuckles, and your eyes widen.
“Did you come with anyone?” He asks again, grabbing a cup of water for you and handing it to you. Ah. So they did have water. “Everyone’s going home, it’s late.”
“Yeah. I came with Yuna & Yunjin. Yuna was my ride.” You say, water soothing every part of your body.
“Ah, they left earlier. I think they were drunk.” He sighs. “Well, I guess you should spend the night.”
“Yeah, okay.” You respond, basically not understanding a single word he’s saying to you. Your only focus is drinking more water, helping the parched feeling on your throat.
“Well, you need to get sober. I guess I should give you more of that.” The guy says, going towards the empty kitchen to grab cold water out the fridge.
Suddenly, a random sickening feeling comes in your stomach. You gag, running towards the nearest trash can and releasing the contents of your stomach into it.
It’s a disgusting feeling, one that quickly has your head snapping right back into common sense mode.
Where the hell am I? What time is it? Where’d those two go?
“Y/n!” A familiar deep voice shouts, causing you to turn towards the noise.
Oh my God. The whole time, the man you were talking to, flirting with, begging him to give you his number. It was Felix. The epitome of everything that you hate.
His hand rubs over your back, pulling your hair out of your face and staring with concern. Why. Why is somebody like him concerned? He has bigger issues to worry about, not you.
“Get off of me.” You say, pushing his arm off of you. Your breath quickens up, a fear settling in your voice.
“Oh, seems you’ve sobered up. You should still spend the night, it’s too danger-“
“Shut up.” You spit, and he’s immediately silent, staring at you with widened eyes.
“I don’t know what ideas you have, but you can do them with someone else. I’m sober now, no need to play sympathy with me anymore. Thanks for the hospitality.” You say, a condescending tone in your words.
Standing up, you find where you left your purse on a random couch and try to make your way out of the house. Gosh, why are they all like that.
“Y/n! Cmon, I’m not like that. It’s dangerous this late, even for an Uber!” He pleads, racing towards you to try and stop you from leaving.
“Why would you care. You’re all the same. I’ll give you props for at least knowing my name, so stop acting like you give a shit about me.“ You say, turning your head back towards the man. His expression looks genuine, but it can’t be. It never is.
“It’s not that! I’ve liked you for a while, seriously I have. I’d do this for anybody, but especially you. Please. Think about it. It’s too dark.” He begs, eyes wide with sweat dripping down his face.
A deep breath in, and a deep breath out.
“Goodbye.” You deliver, turning your back towards him and slamming the door behind you.
Okay, he’s right. It’s dark & it’s dangerous out here. But whatever is out here is better than being in the same place as him.
You know where you’re going, all you have to do is keep running.
The sun creaks its way through your blinds, stirring you awake. A headache is the first thing you feel when you come to your senses, echoing throughout the chambers of your skull.
You reach for you phone first thing, groaning at the brightness of the screen. 4pm… fuck.
Not to mention that, but your phone is spammed with instagrams notifications. They’re not from Yuna or Yunjin, so who else could it be.
30 messages from yongbokspg unread. Great. I thought I blocked him.
Not even bothering to read the messages, you put your phone down on the nightstand, taking in a deep breath of air in an attempt to subdue the growing nausea in your stomach.
Why’d you go to that stupid party, just for Yuna & Yunjin to leave you. You get they got drunk as-well, but still.
It doesn’t take long for tears to start swelling in your eyes, one rolling delicately down your cheek as you choke them down in your throat.
Ring! The doorbell sounds, causing a pit to form in your stomach. Of course, your parents are off on vacation. That’s the only way you got to go to this party anyways.
Planning to ignore it, you close your eyes again, hoping to be able to fall back asleep to help the exhaustion settled into your body. The sound rings again, again and again, the person being persistent on the other side.
Sighing, you get up out of bed, tying your hair up and washing your face while the doorbell ringing persists, groaning with annoyance at whoever the hell is doing all that on a random Saturday afternoon.
Walking towards the door, you swing it open, an expression of annoyance written all over your face as you lock eyes with the stranger.
“How the hell did you get my adress.” You fumed, narrowing your eyes at him as his expression softens.
“I uh.. I-I got it from my dad. He works for the school board.” He admits, eyes turning down as a wave of guilt hits him. The only thing that hits you is anger.
“You what?” You hissed, surprise finding its way into your body. “I’m supposed to listen to what you say after you tell me that? That’s fucking creepy.”
“I know. I know it’s creepy. That was wrong of me, but I needed to make sure you were okay. Cmon! You ran out my house in the middle of the night then didn’t respond to any of the messages I sent you either! I had no choice.” He pleads, but it’s hard to believe him.
“Don’t you see the problem? I left your house because I’m scared you’ll take advantage of me the same way every other spoiled rich kid in the whole school does. Then, you use the same privilege you have to find me when I don’t want to see you! That’s the problem. You can’t even see past that and I’m supposed to talk to you? Get over yourself. Think about others, or is that impossible for people like you?”
Your words cut like a knife, sharply carving his soul into tiny little pieces of nothing. It’s then, where every moment leading up to this hits him like a truck.
Sure, he noticed you, and he did seriously like you. He always had from every single sight he got of you in english class or in the hallways. He always found you to be absolutely beautiful.
But.. how the hell were you supposed to know that? It’s not like he ever made an effort to talk to you. Not even a word. All the stuff you had to deal with in school, and you were just supposed to accept and trust him? How could you.
It’s so obvious that it’s shocking when he comes to this realization. You weren’t running away from him for any irrational reasons, it was all his fault that he didn’t realize. It was all him, and all he did was make everything worse, and give you even more of a reason not to trust him.
“You’re right.” He concedes, and you let out a gasp of surprise.
“You’re absolutely right. I wasn’t thinking of anybody but myself. You made the best choice, and all I did was ruin the little trust you had for me even more. I’d understand if you called the police, but there’s something I need you to hear before that.”
You don’t know why, but you let him keep speaking.
“I’m being genuine. I’ve liked you since I first saw you in english class. I never talked to you because I was too nervous. Hard to believe, I know. But no one’s ever made me that nervous before. And I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. All I did was think of myself, and continued to pursue you even when you were uncomfortable all because I got the chance to. I wanted you to be safe, but all I did was make you even more uncomfortable. I’m so, so sorry. I’ll leave you alone now.”
His voice is uncharacteristically low and somber, weird for somebody so outgoing. The look in his eyes, the genuine regret that looms in his eyes is enough to cause your heart to beat fast, your breath quickening up in the process.
He turns around, walking away from you and heading back to the car he had parked on the side of the road.
This boy. He lives in a completely different world than you do. He’ll never understand exactly what you go through. You’ve hated people like him since you could first remember. So why, why you find your self speaking is something you don’t think you’ll ever understand.
He snaps his head back immediately, shock mixing in with his previous somber face. “What?”
“Don’t make me repeat myself. I might.. never truly believe the fact that you’re even a bit attracted to me, but I don’t believe the fact that you’re a good person with good intentions. And for that, I forgive you.” You say, twisting your hands through your hairs. “You can leave n-“
Suddenly, you’re gagging. Ah. Hangover, right. Immediately, you make a run for the bathroom, throwing up the insides of your stomach into the toilet.
If there’s a top 1 worst feeling, throwing ups gotta be it. It’s a feeling that shakes you down to your core, spreading through your skin and body like poison.
Tears spring back into your eyes, cascading down your face as you attempt to stifle down your sobs.
“Y/n!” Felix shouts. Ofcourse he’s in the house now. God damnit.
“Where’s the nausea medicine, let me get it for you.” He says, a strangely soothing tone in his voice as he rubs your back.
You don’t have it in you to tell him to get the hell out, so all you can do is sigh and point to the cabinet above the sink. He immediately reacts, opting the doors and searching diligently through the messy shelves.
He puts the correct dosage of pills into your hands, running to your kitchen to grab a bottle of water to help you swallow.
He watches as you take the pills, continuing to run his hands down your back in a comforting manner. Unlike yesterday, you let him.
His blonde hair falls over his eyes as you turn your head to him, a blush over his cheeks as he turns his head away. His hand moves to your head, giving you warming pets that melt into your soul.
“Uhm. Please, tell me if there’s anything you need.” He mutters, brown freckles shining. It’s easy to observe them to distract from the nausea. Huh, one’s a heart. Cute.
“No. Just.. don’t stop that hand thing.” You whispered, cringing at yourself in the process as you see a small smile fall upon his lips.
It’s been about six months since that whole interaction with Felix, and you two have been inseparable since. Where you went, he went and vice versa, of course.
It started with you following him back on instagram. Then it was texting & calling. That turned into hanging out whenever you got free time off your classes.
Surprisingly (at least to you), Felix was actually enrolled into a pretty decent college that wasn’t too far away from yours, so you were able to see each other pretty often.
Being his best friend was so easy for you, but for him, it was excruciating. All he wanted to do was pull you close and kiss those pretty lips of yours all day— no, for the rest of his life.
But to him, it just seemed like you didn’t see him like that. Like there was something in you preventing you from giving your heart to him, and he hated it.
He’d never want to make you uncomfortable, so if he had to bury his feelings down in the deepest pits of his heart in order to keep you in his life— hell, just even looking at him? He would, without any hesitation.
It wasn’t like that though, you did like him, you really did. The way his smile shined and warmed your heart every time wasn’t something that went unnoticed, just unaddressed.
You knew Felix was a good person, and you loved him for that. Even so, it’s not that easy to erase the fear in your heart that you’d never be good enough for him. I mean, he’s beautiful, a pure stunning angel sent from heaven itself.
And there’s you. Sure, you wouldn’t call yourself ugly, but can you call yourself beautiful around someone as gorgeous as him? Not really. He’s talented, smart, funny, kind, everything. And you, you’re a nerd who’s already cried at least 5 times over school and it’s just the first semester of freshman year.
As fate would have it, just like him, you’ll keep your feelings buried deep inside yourself. A future with him caged by the intimidation of senseless fear.
“It’s packed in here.” Felix says, grabbing your hand in an attempt to not lose you. A blush paints itself on your face.
“Since when are you not used to parties like this.” You reply, and he glares playfully back at you, stifling a giggle.
A party celebrating the end of the first semester at his school is where you were currently at. Interesting… you think you would have given up on parties after how the last one went.
Well you would have if Felix didn’t beg for you to come along, citing that “your presence helps him not get drunk.” or whatever nonsense he shared with you before dragging you out of your dorm room.
“Cmon, I heard they’re passing out drinks over there.” He squeals, squeezing the palm of your hand tighter as you scrape past multiple random people.
Felix was right; it is packed. The music bounces off the walls of the random dorm building, and it is smoldering hot. Ah, flashbacks.
All of a sudden, your body feels like it’s been hit by a brick wall as you slam into a random person infront of you. Their drink splashes all over you, soaking your clothes in the sour smell of the beer. Gross.
“Oh! I’m so sorry about that. I can go get you another. What did you ha-“
“The hell is your problem?” He screams loud enough for the people in the vicinity to hear over the deafening music and stare. As soon as you lock eyes with the stranger staring you down, your heart drops all the way down to your stomach.
It’s the guy you ran into at the party back in Highschool.
“Oh, it’s you. Still can’t get your head screwed on right at places like this, huh?” He spits, bitter words reopening an old wound you thought Felix had healed.
Speaking of Felix, he had been staring down the man ever since he noticed the smallest bit of malice in his voice, but now he’s trying to calm himself before he gets expelled.
“Hey man, chill out. She said she was sorry.” He says, voice covered in fake calmness. You can tell, you know him well enough.
The man turns his head towards Felix, and you can see the shock coat his face. “It’s that Felix I see. What are you doing here.. with her?” Oh.
“That’s none of your business. Cmon, let’s go get our drinks.” He responds before returning his attention to you, starting to pull you away from the man.
Moments later, you feel him hand grab your shoulder. He has a sickeningly strong grip. It hurts, and he’s squeezing even tighter.
“Hey.. let go of me!” You scream, yanking your arm out of his grasp all running to Felix. You burry yourself into his arms, watching as the rather calm anger on his face turns to rage.
Usually, you’re able to protect yourself against pricks like these. Today though, something is different. You don’t know if it’s the setting of the party, or the fact that you’ve got someone who will take some of the weigh off your shoulders now. Whatever, it doesn’t matter. Especially not now that Felix is walking up to the man with balled fist and a beyond pissed off expression.
You’ve spent a lot of time with Felix, but you’ve never seen him that angry before. The cliche saying “if looks could kill a man” unfortunately really fit with this situation.
“I know you didn’t just touch her.” He says, anger spilling through his clenched teeth.
“What? You actually give a shit? I don’t even know her name.” He rolls his eyes, folding his arms. “I just want a ‘proper’ apology, so why don’t you move on somewh-“
His sentence is cut off by felix swinging his left fist towards his jaw, knocking him clean down on the ground. An audible gasp is let out from most of the people standing around the commotion, some chanting fight while others silently grab their phones.
“Huh?! Do you wanna repeat that?!” Felix yells, and the guy gets off the ground before wiping the blood off of his bruised cheek.
“Whatever dude.. have fun with your bitch.” He dismisses, turning around to his back facing Felix.
“Felix.” Your voice cuts through the thoughts he was having, brining a calmness through the fury in his brain. “Let’s just go home, k?”
Felix takes in a deep sigh before nodding a yes towards you. He doesn’t forget to take your hand once again while walking towards the exit, ignoring the judgmental & disappointed faces of everyone in the crowd staring at you two. The only thing that mattered to him was making sure you were comfortable and okay.
It doesn’t take long to exit the dorm. Since it was his college too, and thankfully also him dorm building, you two just decide to walk to his dorm, walking in silence as the music slowly fades out of radius.
When you walk into his dorm room, all you can do is give him a tight hug, pressing your whole body into his as if you were trying to merge into him. Not that you or him would be against that at all.
“Thank you.” Is all you can manage to say to him, burrowing your face into his chest and his face heats up from the proximity.
“Of course. Sorry he got to touch you first though.” He sighs, stroking your back just like you’ve always liked since you met him.
“Why are you sorry? It was all that guys fault for being a prick. You stood up for me when I couldn’t myself.” Your voice is low, each syllable soothing the still angry thoughts in Felix’s head.
“Yeah well, I hate when anyone messes with you. Feel like I failed at protecting you like I should’ve.” He stops running his hand up and down your back at this point, lifting your chin so that you’re looking him in his eyes. “I just.. don’t want you to suffer anymore.”
It’s as if the timid version of you from mere minutes ago is completely erased. Now, all you can think about is how close you two are.
You’re hugging the man you’ve liked— no loved since half a year ago so close for what? Just for you to throw it all away again because of a stupid fear that you’ll never be good enough for him? What’s the point in living in the cages of a fear made by those who never got the chance to know you.
Those cages might keep you safe, but if they’re going to take away the opportunity to be with the man that your heart desperately yearns for, they’re absolutely worth shattering.
“Y-You know… there’s something you can do to make me feel better.” You whisper, embarrassment quickly rushing over your features when he looks you in your eyes.
“Yeah? What’s that?” He asks, sincerity in every bit of his voice. A deep breath.
His eyes widen, body growing hot within a matter of milliseconds. “H-huh? Are you sure? You always turned me down before.”
“I know, and that was always out of fear. But, I don’t want that to hold me back anymore.” You murmur, face growing hot. “So kiss me.”
Felix doesn’t wait any longer, bringing his hand to your head and bringing his lips to yours.
It’s soft, yet passionate at the same time. He presses deeper into you, walking you over to press you to a wall as you kiss him back.
If there’s anyway to die, it’s gotta be like this. The utter peace you’re feeling as you try to stop a tear from rolling down your face is unfathomable. It’s him, the man you thought you’d always hate. The man who’d soon became the final piece to the hole in your soul. The man who you soon fell madly in love with that you’re kissing.
And wow, does it feel like heaven on earth.
“Wow, I’ve wanted to do that for forever.” He sighs once he pulls away from your lips, a flush shared on both of your faces.
“Me too.” You whisper, putting your head into the collar of his neck. Peace & contention. The perfect feeling for right now.
“So… can I take you out for lunch tomorrow? I hope you know I plan on making you my girlfriend now.” He sheepishly asks, fiddling with his fingertips.
“Of course, but.. wasn’t that always the plan?”
“Sure, but now I can actually implement it.” He giggles, brining his hand to caresses your cheek again. “Now, kiss me again.”
