A/N: This story would be mostly in Minho's pov.... So if the pov isn't mentioned.. then obviously it's Minho ^^

24 December, 2016

"Minho hyung!! Stop!!"

"No!"

I kept running away from my little brother who chased me with ice ball.

"Stop I said! You can't escape! You know if I want then I can run faster than you!"

"With your small legs?! duh!"

"I'm near, lol!" I looked back at him and my eyes widened. He was actually so near now and was smirking.

"Caught you!"

And with that we both fell on ice. The ice ball being slipped from his hand as I proceeded to grab handful of ice and smashed that on his face.

I started to laugh hysterically and he glared at me. But then started laughing as well.

He got down and sat beside me. I sat up as well.

Mom walked towards us.

"Time to go home~" she cheered.

"I want ice cream!!" We both shouted at the same time and then started giggling looking at each other.

"No min and lix! It's winter and it's cold. You'll catch cold."

"Please mom!!!!!"

"No means no! "

"Please!!!!!!!!!"

We started to whine and make puppy eyes to make her.

"No way! "

"Mom please! We promise we won't catch a cold! "

"It isn't like you have control in that." She calmly said and sighed.

"Please~"

"Fine! But it's the last for winter! "

"Yay!!!! Thank you mom!! You're the best!!" We both started jumping out of happiness. We loved ice cream! It was the best! After dance it was what I liked most!

(Third person's pov)

"I want Chocolate and strawberry mix with choco chips on the top in two scoops with a chocolate roll wafer!"

"I want vanilla and mango mix! With chocolate cream and sprinkles!! In two scoops as well!"

"It'll be here soon kids" the man said and smiled at them. Going to make the ice cream for those two kids of 16 years old and 14 years old.

"Remember everything right?"

They nodded happily at their mom.

"Here you go~ enjoy~"

"Thank you for the ice cream!!" The two brothers rejoiced while doing a little happy jump while taking the ice creams.

"Umm~ it's the best!"

"Mine is best!"

"No mine!"

"No mine!!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Stop fighting over or I'll throw you both out of the car!" Mrs. Lee said half jokingly. She was a bit annoyed too but didn't complain from the heart. These two always fought but again were there for each other whenever they needed.

"Hyung! What is it!!?" Felix suddenly screamed with fear, making Mrs. Lee stop the car immediately and look at them.

"Why is it bleeding from your nose hyung!? Did I hurt you? Did you get hurt!?"

Minho tried to speak. But before he could he got senseless.

Minho's mom took him to the hospital asap.

•••

"The doctor called you inside Mrs. Lee."

Mrs. Lee nodded and went inside. Worry plastered on her face.

"Please have a seat Mrs."

She sat down. Looking at the doctor with expectation that it was just a normal nose bleed.

"Um.. I'm sorry to say.." the doctor paused for a moment and looked at the senseless boy in his hospital bed. "He has leukemia."

"What!?" Mrs. Lee expressed with shock. Tears welling in her eyes looking at her son.

"What is the stage?" She asked with a cracked broken voice.

"We need to do some tests to confirm it though."

Mrs. Lee wiped her tears. "So it isn't confirmed yet? "

"Kind of. "

"Okay" Mrs. Lee tried to stay calm, not wanting to scare Felix.

1 January,2018

"What happened to him mom? He'd get better soon right?"

"He'll" Mrs. Lee said hugging her son.

Felix tried to believe his mom. But deep inside something told him she was lying and that things will go worse.

"I was right. I'm sorry but he has AML leukemia. And... Sorry to say again... But this is the worst of all leukemia."

"Mom? What is leukemia?"

"Nothing dear." Mrs. Lee said with tears in her eyes while holding Felix more tightly on the hug.

"How long does he have?"

"Less than 4 years."

Mrs. Lee bit down her bottom lips, trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Is there a way to cure it?"

"No. It can't be cured. But we would love to suggest chemotherapy to keep things a bit normal and lessen their pains."

"Oh-" she muttered with a blank expression.

"Why didn't you come before? It's been a year and a half already of this."

"What!?" Mrs. Lee was genuinely shocked.

"Didn't he show the symptoms before?"

"Never."

"Didn't you see any kind of abnormal thing?"

"Well he sometimes had heavy breathings, but that's after running or jumping or dancing. Also his skin is colder than before nowadays but I thought it was because of winter... " She sighed. Trying to process everything and make sense.

Felix heard everything but he didn't understand anything.

"You should have reported the doctors before."

"I'm sorry." Mrs. Lee broke in tears and started sobbing while still hugging Felix tightly.
