Love, Not War (Book 2)

Chapter 23

Felix sprang up his seat and rushed to the doctor. "Sir, is he okay? Has he woken up? Can we go in and see him?"

The doctor was a tall man with thinning grey hair. He looked over 40 but he had a nice friendly face. He smiled. "You must be Felix, right?"

Felix nodded, confused. "I am. But, how do you know?"

"Your boyfriend wouldn't stop calling your name" he replied. "That man really loves you"

Felix blushed madly. He wanted to tell the doctor that he wasn't the 'Felix' that the man inside was talking about but something made him very reluctant to speak.

The doctor saved him the trouble. "Don't worry anymore. Your boyfriend is okay. He just has a couple of bruises caused by the fall but with time and a couple of medications, those will heal. As for his head, it is a flesh wound which is quite deep so he needed stitches. The place will need to be cleaned everyday and ointment should be applied regularly. He will get headaches from time to time but within a week, he should be perfectly fine"

Felix let out a very deep sigh of relief. "Thank you doctor" he beamed. "Can I see him now?"

"He hasn't woken up yet but maybe your presence will give him some relief so yes, you can go in" he replied. "When he wakes up and we examine him, we'll determine if you can take him home"

With that, the doctor smiled then walked away. Jeongin stood up and walked towards Felix who was biting his lower lip, thinking whether to go in or not. After all, he isn't the 'Felix' that Chan wants to see. But Felix could feel the mad urge to go inside.

"What did the doctor say? Is he okay?" Jeongin asked.

Felix nodded. "He's fine. Only some bruises and a flesh wound but he'll be fine within a week"

"Okay then, let's go pay the bill" Jeongin said. "After that, we're leaving"

"We're leaving?" Felix asked, shocked. "What do you mean we're leaving? We can't leave him alone in there"

"I know. That's why I called his secretary. He'll be here any moment from now"

"B-But..." Felix stuttered, not knowing how to express himself. He wanted to stay. He wanted to make sure Christopher Bang was really okay.

Having known Felix for years, Jeongin quickly caught up on this. "You can't stay here Felix" he said. "You've already done your part and the doctor said he's fine. There's no reason to stay anymore. Let's go. I'll drop you at the hotel"

Felix chewed his bottom lip, still struggling internally. He couldn't stop thinking about the way Christopher Bang protected him. The arm around his waist, the palm that cradled the back of his head, the way Christopher used his body to protect him... he just felt some type of way. A strong urge to be in there with him.

"I won't go until I see him" he finally said. "It's not proper to just leave like that"

"Why do you want to see him so badly?" Jeongin asked. He was getting irritated. It almost felt like 5 years ago when Felix was so in love with Chan. Jeongin really didn't want a repeat. "Isn't the doctor's feedback enough for you? An accident occured. You've done your part. What more do you want? You don't even know the man"

"I know" Felix answered, looking confused. "The whole thing baffles me too but I still want to see him. I just have this gut feeling that makes me want to go in. I don't know if you get it but I feel like I know him"

Jeongin started to feel scared. Was Felix starting to remember? He paled. All these years, Felix was so happy and now, we're things going to crash so soon? "W-What do you mean?"

Felix put a finger under his chin, seeming thoughtful. "Look I don't know how to explain it but he seems so familiar. Anytime I try to remember, I get this splitting headache. Could I have met him before?"

"Of course not!" Jeongin quickly said, denying it strongly. He didn't want Felix to think about at all. "How could you have met him before? We told you, you were in a coma for two years. You spent those two years in a hospital bed, sleeping. How could you have known him? You have no memories of him"

Still, Felix was feeling doubtful. If he really had no memories of him, why did he feel such a strong pull towards him?

Jeongin's fear intensified. He was afraid that Felix would start to ask questions or worse, start recalling his memories. He knew it. No encounter with Chan will be positive. "You won't see him" he said, taking Felix's hand. "We're leaving now and if you don't come with me, I'll tell your brothers everything"

Hearing that, Felix knew he had no choice. But he wondered, why was Jeongin so eager for them to leave? What was Jeongin hiding?

Jeongin was about to pull Felix when he saw Mingi walking towards them. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! He wanted scream and pull out his hair. What a bad timing! Mingi seeing Felix was the same thing as Chan seeing Felix!

He hurriedly released Felix's hair from the ponytail and scattered the strands to cover Felix's face. It was a good thing Felix let his hair grow long.

Though half of Felix's nose and his whole lips were exposed, it was enough to make him unrecognizable.

Felix was stunned. Just what has gotten into his dear friend?

"Hey asshole!" Mingi called the second he sighted Jeongin.

"You fucker!" Jeongin shouted back. He rolled up his sleeves and met Mingi halfway, looking like he was ready for a fight.

Mingi and Jeongin have been sworn enemies since five years ago. Each time they meet privately, sparks fly but when they're with other people, they can only glare daggers at each other.

Felix saw this as an opportunity. The instant Jeongin started to hurl insults at Mingi, Felix slipped into Christopher Bang's room.
