With golden string
Our universe was brought to life
That we may fall in love
Every time we open up our eyes

Loving Felix feels like a summer vacation by the sea, Hyunjin thinks it suits him the best as he too is getting warm and bright by the love that his Lee Felix gives him. He shines in neon colours as he lays down on the floor to be remembered as something warm and filled with familiar beauty you can only appreciate just for a short time before it all turns a heavy dark for a while.
Falling for Felix comes with the smell of pumpkin spice mixed with coffee in a cup and just the right amount of sweetness to represent Felix the right way. Here, were the space is noisy but Hyunjin can still hear it clearly from heavy layers of muscles and metres of skin, his heart keeps beating faster and wild as his chest aches from how much he feels as the angelic voice of Felix reaches his ears filled with laughter and happiness he so desperately wants to keep trapped inside a jar so he can uncover it when darkes times come near them.
Jisung says he’s obsessed with Felix, Seungmin corrects him as he says Hyunjin’s in love and maybe they’re both right. Chan however, will say it’s all because Hyunjin is a romcom character brought to life, maybe that’s why he keeps walking around with heart eyes and his hands can only paint visions of their past lives where their worlds collided time and time again just so they could be together just like now.
And so he thinks that falling in love with Felix is him trying the worst sugary drink just because it makes him laugh seeing him struggle to drink the damn thing but honestly, Hyunjin will do a thousand things just to reach that smile on his face. Engraved in the back of his head for him to remember later at night when another portrait takes place on his sketchbook.
He can feel it too as they walk down the street and the cold air of early October hits his hair, creating a beautiful mess of rosy cheeks and shiny threads of golden hair that dances freely with every step they take. Hyunjin thinks that he has never seen something this beautiful in any museum around the world.
However, love too, can come in car rides back home with their tummies full of hot beverages and snacks on a paper bag, fingers that engulf a pen as it dances on plain paper creating a masterpiece just for them to hear.
“Woah,” Felix will say. “What a beautiful work of art.”
And Hyunjin’s heart can’t stop the growth inside his chest a little bit as the words sink in. He smiles softly at Felix as his hand reaches out for him, head on his shoulder as they watch the buildings pass in a blur. Here, inside this tiny car Hyunjin can build a world for the both of them as he daydreams of future lives with soft daylights and sweets on the oven as golden strings tie them together for the rest of their lives.
But then, back home where the room is filled with laughter from his brothers from some stupid joke Changbin said while they ate Minho’s dinner back in the cutie’s dorm. Felix will lay down his head on Hyunjin’s shoulder, eyes closed as his sweet sweet laugh vibrates through his body more than anyone else he will feel it too, that thing that spreads like wisteria over his bare feet under the table and over his face.
Only being able to say it as they lay back on Felix room, wrapped in fluffy blankets and bodies intertwined with lavender lights over their heads as he whispers:
“You’re my best friend.”
Felix smiles brightly at him. “You’re mine too hyunie.”
Along with it were the words he doesn’t say out loud. For you I can do the impossible, only for you my love will never subside. In this life and the others, I will search for our special string that ties us together with faith and love.
Hyunjin knew it was easy to fall for Felix. But maybe for Felix it was easy enough to fall for him too just like autumn leaves outside this bubble.
