GAB POV

"Wait, don't be too harsh!" I took Felix's hand away from Jisung's neck and I looked back at the small metallic piece stuck to his skin.

"How do you even want to take it out anyway?

- There must be a better way than just tugging on it. What if he starts bleeding?" I paused, looking at the wall in front of me as I thought of the worst thing that could happen. "Even worse, what if he dies?"

"Wait, no, I don't want to kill him! But it would be stupid and suspicious to look for tutorials on how to remove a chip from someone's neck.

- We could always look up how to remove a tick. It's pretty similar, just that the tick is way smaller.

- Do you have tweezers with you?

- Yeah, in my bag. Wait," I ran to grab my bag and looked through it quickly before finding what I was searching for at the very bottom of it. I hate that when all the things I need aren't just at the top, I think my life would be at least fifty percent better.

Well, maybe not in this life, because that isn't my main concern.

I turned back around and showed the tweezer to Felix as I walked over to unconscious Jisung. I handed the metallic piece to Felix and he sighed shakily.

"Maybe I could... Start by trying to go under it?

- Holy shit," I mumbled and covered my mouth with one hand. Suddenly, I felt like puking.

"Don't look if you feel unwell, I'll be okay.

- Alright, I'll just wait outside," he nodded at me and I walked out of the studio.

I leaned against the wall and stared at the floor to try and even my jerky breathing, just the image of seeing Felix take the chip out of Jisung's neck in my head was enough to make me nauseous. I hate feeling nauseous. My throat tightens and I start focusing on how I feel only.

I swallowed hard and I let myself sit on the floor. I took out my cellphone from my back pocket and I went on YouTube to watch random videos that were recommended to me to make time pass faster. I played a room makeover type of video and I stayed there for a few minutes before I heard the door opening and I looked up to see Felix with tear-filled eyes.

"He woke up, he remembers everything," my jaw dropped and I instantly stood up and hugged him. I was really anxious to see Jisung, but I also wanted to let Felix know that everything was okay. I gently stroked his back as he cried into my shoulder.

JISUNG POV

I stayed sitting on what was supposed to be my couch in my studio. I stared at my hands. Nothing felt real. Felix let me alone a little so I could gather my thoughts and I could see he was crying. He lost us all.

I could understand why he's so emotional about it, but I need more explanations.

"Ji," Felix came back in with a girl following. A beautiful tan girl with the silkiest black hair I've ever seen. I looked at the both of them in silence. "This is Gab. We've known each other for a few months now.

- Is she your girlfriend?"

They looked at each other with wide eyes and Gan coughed awkwardly. "No, she's just a friend," Felix said.

"Oh," I nodded slowly and they both sat on the couch with me. They explained everything that had happened and my heart ached for Felix. Of course, I felt bad for Gab too, but Felix is one of my best friends. I couldn't handle being all alone just like he was.

"We should continue making music and try to gain popularity," I suggested as I glanced at my laptop that was placed on my desk. I also had a lot of tools for song making, I was happy to see that even in this life, I was passionate about it all.

"And then maybe we could find the others," Gab completed my thoughts and I nodded, giving her a small smile. She did it back to me and looked away.

"I'm in. We'll do our best to get them back," Felix put a hand on my shoulder and I hugged him again. It was as if we'd been separated for years, but in reality, I'd never met him in this life. I was still trying to understand all that shit, even though it was clear that we had lost all the other members.

When we let go of each other, we stayed silent. I guessed we were all lost in our thoughts, wondering what our next move should be. Where could we even find the others? I was still impressed by how easily they had found me. I mean, yes, we've been here for months, but they only really started searching for us a few days ago.

"Should we just remake our songs or...?

- Maybe some of them, but we'll make our own music too. I can't make some of our songs without Chan and Changbin," I answered, anxiously tapping my fingers against my thigh.

"We'll figure something out," Gab stands up and wipes the palm of her hands on her jeans. "I need to go back home, let's make a groupchat."
