"What is up with you?" Minho asked, rolling up his sleeves.
"Ah, something is up with Felix and no one is telling me anything," Hyunjin muttered grabbing a juice from the mini fridge.
Minho hummed, "I'm sure it is nothing,"
Hyunjin huffed and sat down, "Yuqi is giving him a full work-up. He had one last month though,"
It was odd. Felix only did work-ups every three months and usually Hyunjin did it.
"Maybe Felix wants Yuqi to check for something in particular... something that maybe he doesn't want you to check for because it might be embarrassing or something," Minho suggested.
Hyunjin groaned. He didn't like it. Felix was his resident and he preferred to know what was going on with him.
However, if Felix didn't want him to know he wouldn't push it.

"Star tears..." Minho said looking over Felix's chart.
Felix pursed his lips, "Is there anything we can do?"
"Ehm, short of having feelings returned there isn't. Star tears is relatively new, so we haven't studied it much to know if there is a cure... have you had your lungs checked?"
The younger shook his head, looking at the ground, "No, I haven't..."
Minho nodded, "We are going to check your lungs for hanahaki, just in case, because in rare cases patients can have both.
For now I want to go over the symptoms of star tears. Obviously there is the twinkling sound you hear, but the longer you are effected by it it can cause you to go colourblind and in rare cases, you can go blind or lose memories," Minho explained.
"What happens if I have both?" Felix questioned.
Minho pursed his lips and sat down in front o Felix on the rolling chair.
"It is dangerous. Hanahaki is removable, but the procedure will cause you to lose memories. Star tears... I can't cure and I wish I could. If you were to have both, there is no telling what could happen.
It could be possible that with the hormones of both diseases in you, it can speed up the process of both. If we are to find that you have Hanahaki, I suggest we do the surgery, just so that you could have a chance,"
Felix pressed his lips together, "If I do have both, I don't want surgery. I don't want anything. I know it'll be painful, but I don't want to lose the memories of him, that would kill me in its own way,"
"Felix, that is practically a death sentence, no memory of anyone is worth your life nor your sight," Minho stated.
"Even if he is so unattainable, every memory of him is precious and I don't want to lose them," Felix said tears pricking his eyes.
Minho could see the different shades of blues and purples of Felix's tears. Something so beautiful yet so harmful. He just couldn't understand it.
"Who is it? Who do you love this much that you are willing to risk your life?"
The younger shook his head, "It doesn't matter,"
The older sighed. It did matter, it mattered so much, but there was no way to convince Felix of that.
