Shocked.
That is what Felix was when he opened his locker, revealing a neatly folded note laying there that Felix hadn't put there.
He unfolded it and saw that it wasn't just a random piece of paper, but a love confession?! Felix was even more shocked, flabbergasted even. But also flattered, he couldn't stop a smile from tugging on his lips as he read the note.
'Love,
-H'
That's how the note had ended. H? Who the hell is H?
Felix looked around, hoping that maybe he'd catch someone looking at him, someone who's name had somehow with an H preferably.
But to Felix's luck, not a single student seemed to be interested in Felix standing infront of his locker. What a shocker.
Felix folded the note again before putting it in his bag, (he will definitely reread it once he gets home) grabbed the books he needed for his next classes, and went back to his friends, a smile still on his face.
He was contemplating telling his friends about the note, but decided against it as his friend Changbin would probably steal it and run around the hallways yelling 'WHO GAVE FELIX A LOVE LETTER' and question every person who's name started with an H within a 10 mile radius.
Yeah, he'll keep it a secret for now.
For the rest of the day he spent his time going over every student he knew who's name started with an H. Curse Felix and his extrovertedness. He knew the majority of the schools student's name, and a good amount of those student had a name that started with an H. And hell, Felix wasn't even sure if H was the first letter of the author's name.
So, Felix decided to stop thinking about it for the day. (He thought about it for the rest of the day but didn't get any further)
°
A couple days later as Felix was about to give up on his mystery lover, he was met with another note. This time it was longer, Felix didn't mind, he quite liked having a secret admirer and reading their love letters.
The note talked about when they first saw Felix, when he had introduced himself back when he just moved to Korea 3 years ago, which indicated that they must've been classmates in that year, maybe they still are.
But to Felix's luck, he has a total of 8 students in his class who's name start with an H. his class only has 13 students, why do so many people's name start with an H?! Felix was doomed. Utterly doomed.
The note also talked about when Felix had bumped into H.
Felix has probably bumped into every single students in this school, he was nothing with this information.
Well he isn't complaining though, he did learn just how head over heels H was for him, for 3 years now. He was flattered again. Did Felix blush? Yes. Justified though, who wouldn't when they received yet another love letter.
H also talked about a painting, of Felix. If Felix wasn't smiling like a dummy before, he sure was now! He wondered what the painting looked like, Felix would probably find it beautiful no matter what it looked like. H painted it after all.
Felix's blush did get slightly more pink when he saw the heart drawn next to the signature -H.
Cute, he had thought, before putting the note in his bag and going to his next class, ignoring the remarks his friends at made on why he was smiling so much.
At the end of the day, when he was putting away his books in his locker, Felix had decided that he'd leave a note for H to find.
Felix had been thinking of that painting all day, and he got curious.
So he decided to leave a note for H to find when they would deliver their (hopefully) next letter, asking to leave the painting in a classroom on Friday.
Leaving a little corner sticking out of his locker that said 'Dear H, please read :)', Felix felt content and went home for the day, hoping H would accept the request.
And sure enough, the next day during lunch break, the note was gone. And when Felix opened his locker he saw another folded piece of paper laying there, like the other letters had. Exept this time, on the outside of the note was written 'The painting will be there <3' Felix smiled before opening the letter.
The letter was shorter than the previous one, but longer than the first one he received.
Felix was quite shocked when he read that H 'gay panicked' over Felix, which meant that H was a boy. Felix didn't care, he was bi so his feelings didn't change torwards H, but he just didn't expect it. Felix had dropped the idea of having a boyfriend when he moved to Korea, since the country isn't exactly the most accepting. But the shock quickly left and was replaced with happiness again, not that his smile had faded in the first place.
Felix closed the letter placing it in his bag, so he could take it home and put it with the others, and Felix went back to his friends, fiddling with his bracelet on his wrist.
The next day it was Friday, the day Felix would get to finally see H's painting. Saying Felix was exited would be an understatement. Felix had grown extremely curious, not only for the painting, but also for the one who painted it. Call him crazy, slowly falling for the boy who left love notes in his locker. Felix found it romantic, and he wanted to get to know the other. Maybe ask him out on a date.
Felix had been sitting in class for the past 15 minutes, contemplating wether he should raise his hand to ask if he could go to the toilet. Felix really had to pee. The excitement of being able to see H's painting later pressing on his bladder.
One of his classmates, Hyunjin, asked the teacher if he could use the bathroom and left the room once he got permission.
'Hyunjin's name starts with an H' Felix thought to himself before he realized he had to pee really bad again.
So Felix raised his hand, not even 10 seconds after Hyunjin had left,
''Can I go too?''
The teacher gave him an annoyed look before giving him permission and Felix couldn't have left the room faster.
He was walking through the hallway, turning corners when he saw his fellow classmate who had left not much before him, stopping at Felix's locker, pulling something, a letter, out of his back pocket and sliding it in Felix's locker. Felix walked backwards, hiding behind the corner, mouth agape.
Hyunjin was H. Hyunjin was the boy who had been leaving him love letters in his locker.
Felix quickly pulled himself together when he heard footsteps coming his way. He started walking again too, on his way to the toilet, as if nothing happened.
When he turned around the corner he walked passed Hyunjin, Felix smiled, maybe sweeter than he usually did, maybe not. Hyunjin gave a shy smile back while his ears turned really red, his face probably going red too but Felix had already passed him to be able to see. Cute, Felix thought.
He didn't go to his locker and read the note, he told himself he'd wait untill after school, and he'd read it when he put his books away. But in reality he just really had to pee.
Thank you bladder for letting me find Hyunjin, Felix thought when passing his locker and going to the toilet.
When he returned to class his eyes immediately looked for Hyunjin, who was busy whispering something to his friend. What was his name again? Jisung! The guy who had an obvious crush on Felix's friend Minho. He wondered when he would finally make a move instead of blushing everytime Minho tried to initiate a conversation.
Felix had honesty never looked closely at Hyunjin before. He was really pretty, but that wasn't rocket sience, everyone knew that.
Felix can remember the first day of school when he had introduced himself infront of the class, Hyunjin had looked at him, and when Felix looked back Hyunjin's eyes went wide and he looked down, at his ring he was fiddling with. Felix couldn't look very long though before a guy, Chan, called him over to be his seatmate, he was also Australian so he helped him with his Korean during class. But out of that quick glance Felix had just assumed Hyunjin was really anxious, so he didn't want to stress him out by approaching him. And that was that.
Now here they were 3 years later, and Felix wished he would've talked to him back then, but he also likes the way things are happening now, so he doesn't really mind.
The last bell of the day rings and when Felix looks for Hyunjin, the other was already gone. So Felix stood up and headed for his locker, he still had that letter to read.
He quickly went to his locker, put his books away and grabbed the letter.
It talked about the painting, how Hyunjin had painted it a month ago, and about how he was frustrated that he couldn't precisely place each of Felix's freckles. Which paints he used, and how much time went into it. All these little details made Felix's heart skip a beat, Hyunjin had one precious soul.
He put the letter in his bag, closed his locker and made his way to the classroom, passing Hyunjin on the way, who was really interested in the floor.
He quickly made it to the room and closed it behind him, looking around for the painting, which he found sitting on a desk somewhere in the back of the room.
He held the painting in both his hands. In complete awe.
That was Felix. Almost an exact copy of a picture he had shared online about 2 months ago. Almost, because there was no way that Felix actually shined this bright.
Felix was stuck staring at the painting for a good minute that he had only just now noticed the bright pink sticky note on the bottom of the canvas.
*I'd like to paint you again, paintdate?*
Felix smiled, a big smile too, he doesn't smile this big very often.
He took the painting home with him, he could give it back on that paintdate.
He put it on his desk, looking at it again.
Hyunjin was truly one of a kind.
Over the weekend Felix made a plan, mission ask Hyunjin out.
Maybe it was a bit quick, but he didn't care, he genuinely wanted to go on that paintdate with Hyunjin, to see where things go, see where Felix's feelings go.
And maybe he'd end up with a boyfriend sometime soon.
°
Felix was stressed, really stressed.
He had worked out his plan on how exactly he was going to ask out Hyunjin. Yet he still felt nervous, he didn't know why, it's not like Hyunjin would reject him, he likes Felix.
He saw Hyunjin sitting alone today in class, Jisung must be sick or something. It crossed Felix's mind to go sit next to him, but he decided not too as it would ruin his plan.
During lunchbreak he saw Hyunjin sitting against the schoolbuilding outside, writing in his notebook, most likely writing another letter for Felix, or making homework he hadn't made yet. Felix hoped for the first.
Hyunjin looked really nice today, his bleached-blonde hair being slightly blown to the side by the wind. Felix was slowly but surely getting whipped for this man.
After staring rather obviously at Hyunjin for the past 10 minutes and collecting some confidence, he told his friends he was going to talk to someone before turning around and walking over to Hyunjin.
Hyunjin didn't seem to notice him though, so Felix decided to speak.
''Hyunjin, right?''
Hyunjin stopped writing, slowly lifting his head and meeting Felix's eye.
''Yes?'' He answered, voice shy
''Are you writing another letter?'' Felix said, smile audible in his voice.
Hyunjin was shocked.
Hyunjin's shocked face made Felix chuckle, tilting his head to the side, catching a glimpse of what Hyunjin was writing, seeing ''Dear Felix <3'' on top of the page.
''Will you actually give it to me instead of leaving them in my locker if I said yes to that paintdate?'' Felix asked.
And Hyunjin's smile could light up Felix's world.
''I'll take that as a yes'' Felix said smiling just as bright.
