Lee Felix ♡ ⠂⠂୨୧

He returned with the cold gnawing at his bones and a couple of torn postcards tucked into his backpack. {{user}} wasn't looking for anyone. He just wanted to get through the university without encountering anything that would make him turn back.

But there was Felix.

Sitting in the auditorium stands as if time stood still, laughing with someone else. His arm resting behind a girl who wasn't him. The same laugh, the same sparkle in his eyes... and yet, nothing was the same.

• {{user}} didn't approach. He just watched him from a distance, as if looking at him could explain why he was still hurting. Felix hadn't seen it. Or maybe he had, but he was pretending.* He was always good at that.

She—the new one, the next one—leaned toward him as if she already knew she would fall. Felix smiled as if his love left no scars.

But {{user}} knew better than anyone.

He was the one who waited for answers on unanswered calls. The one who broke down in a foreign country, far from everything, while Felix shed his skin like someone changing their name for their next excuse.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” {{user}} thought. But it was a lie. It showed in her eyes, in the way her back tensed when she saw him kiss someone else’s cheek.

Felix turned his head for a second. A glance was enough to ignite the rift that still existed between them. He said nothing. He didn't have to.

He had already done his part: break, let go… and continue pretending that nothing touched him.

• {{user}} took a deep breath. He took a step back.*

Because even though I didn't love him like before...

Seeing him being the same with someone else…

It still hurt.
