Lee Felix is admitted to the mental hospital for his anxiety. He feels low at first but soon enough finds himself a companion. She feels like home to him. But she also has someone. But things change when he finds out about her real problem.
Lee Fel...
One young man with a freckled face, lean figure, and blond hair walked down the hallway, still not used to the feel of the white hospital gown on his body. He was in search of the hospital's cafeteria. It was his first time exploring the facility since he was admitted but he felt self-conscious to ask for help and admit that he was lost. His worry and not being able to speak up made his heart speed up and his palms sweat. Shortness of breath came next, with cold sweat slowly creeping up on his forehead and back.
"Oh no... please not now..." he muttered to himself, turning the corner and leaning on the wall to regain his composure.
He did the breathing exercise but the voices and surrounding sounds became louder in his ears. He covered his ears and crouched down, still breathing heavily. It was a mild attack, that he hoped would pass in a minute. A hand on his shoulder startled him and he looked up, meeting a worried face of a brunette girl with braids. He wondered if she had insomnia due to her pale face and dark circles under her eyes.

"Hey, are you alright?" the girl asked, genuinely concerned, and he slowly lowered his hands away from his head.
He stood up, straightening his white gown.
"Do you need help? Do you want me to call for someone?" she asked questions and he let out a deep sigh, feeling his heartbeat calming.
"Uh, no... I'm fine, thanks..." he pushed a weak smile, combing his hair with his cold fingers.
She smiled, "Okay. I thought you were having an attack or something," she chuckled and offered her hand, "I'm Migyeong," she said and for a moment, the boy hesitated to reach with his hand, thinking that she'll notice the coldness of his palm.
"I... I'm Felix, it's nice to meet you," he introduced himself, taking her hand in a weak handshake.
They say that a strength of a handshake shows the strength of a person and Migyeong had a strong grip on Felix's hand, which was both surprising and reassuring.
"Oh, a foreigner!" Migyeong pulled her hand away, getting nervous, "It is nice to meet you," she tried in English but Felix chuckled.
"It's okay, I understand Korean. My parents are both Korean, I was just born in Australia," he talked, "You can call me Yongbok if it's easier for you."
"Oh, sorry, yeah..." she averted her gaze, embarrassed, "You understood me right away and I... yeah..." they laughed awkwardly but Migyeong spoke again, "So... umm... Yongbok... I mean, Felix... What are you doing here in the empty hallway?"
