SECOND CHANCE

01

I opened my eyes using all the strength I had; at first, everything was hazy, then unclear, and when it became visible it was scary. I was in a complete white room with wire attached to my hands. Was I in a hospital? Did my parents catch me? Did they spot me unconscious? It scared me to even think to go up to them and tell the reason why I was in the ground lifeless.

However, as I was going through all of those thoughts, I realized something was off. The room was huge and unlike any typical hospital room. It was like a fully guarded room with everything arranged as my need and nothing was more scarier than this.

"Oh dear! It is a relief that you have woken up, Everyone was frightened." I squinted at the importance given to me.

"If you don't mind can you tell me where I am and who are you?" I expressed my displeasure with the guy for no legitimate reason. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you I am the new doctor here you would not know me, you were bring here to be treated." So I was really in a hospital. I got scared believing that now when I am here everyone would have known why I fainted. "So why I was fainted doctor?" I said, being hesitant.

"I believe you would know that better." I inhale a sharp breath at those words. "I..I didn not..." I stutter with my next words but he cuts me. "But it was a strange case. There was nothing wrong with you. No scars in the body and no drugs consume even though it showed all that side effects. Maybe you were just tired from all the..." "Doctor, can you come here?" We heard a voice and he bid me a goodbye saying he will be back soon warning me to move too much.

Even though I was advised to not move, I jerked up and felt pain in my hands where I had cut myself. I rolled up my sleeves and there was no scar, but the pain persisted—the kind you experience even after healing. My eyes widened. I notice that all of the other cuts I made to myself have healed. What on earth was going on?

I groan and moved towards the washroom to the mirror and there was something different. I did not look like the same Felix at all. Not able to take these many things in my breathes became uneven and I felt my eyes closing again as the ground became closer.

As soon as I was conscious again, I heard a voice that was so familiar to me. "What do you mean he fainted again you should be here when he woke up. How did he even get to the washroom?" Even though the voice was calm, the words were enough to frighten even me.

As my eyes begin to open, I exhale. I could only make out a blurry picture of eight persons standing above me. "Hyung he is gaining conscious!" I heard another voice that seemed all too familiar. No, it cant be. Everybody's eyes were on me. As my vision became clearer, I regretted being here. I was furious to see the faces of my old friends who neglected me for months as they stood above me with worried eyes. Why were they here now?

"Felix, how are you feeling?" Han questioned with a worried expression that I took to be sympathy. It felt like a blank moment to me. I squinted my eyes for a full minute, praying that this dream would cease, but then I felt a hand caress my face. "Does your head hurts a lot?" I knew exactly who it was. With a comforting smile Minho Hyung looked at me as I opened my eyes again. I moved my head slightly away from his hands without realizing it. What is happening?

"You should eat something, baby. You've been unconscious for the past six hours. Let me go get you something." Chan Hyung stated in an Australian accent as he walked away. "Ah! Felix Hyung we told you not to take stress we were so worried." Jeongin said with a soft smile like he was the reason I was here. To be honest they all were really the reason but they don't need to know that. Upon looking at them, I realized it had been months since I have spoken to any of them.

I attempted to get up, and Changbin Hyung, who was standing next to me, helped me. I tried to give him a thankful look but failed. "Um, what are you all doing here?" I asked not liking this much attention from them all of a sudden. "What do you mean, Felix? You fainted obviously we have to be here for you." This time it was Hyunjin. We were really not that close back then. The last time I remember we even were together was when he hugged me after my elimination and we never talked again. Of course I know he liked me but we did not talked that much. I don't even remember last time I was alone with him. So, why was he worried?

"But why did you come this far to meet me?" Everyone looked confused with that question until Seungmin came in between. "What do you mean by far we are literally in the company's hospital." I stare at him bewildered, and suddenly something hits me. I look at the room and I realized this didn't look like Australia at all. There was a newspaper in my side table which I noticed a lot later than I should have, there were Korean words written all over the paper and It was more shocking to realize that I was able understand it all. I was terrified.

Everyone appeared just as confused as I did. "I think you should rest Felix, I believe your mind is not working well right now cause what you are saying makes no sense." I blinked at Lee Know Hyung, wondering that perhaps I was overthinking things and that they weren't real after all. There is no way that this could be true, But how could I possibly disregard something that was right in front of my eyes? Why do I feel that I am back in Korea and why was I in the company's hospital treated like someone important?
