Midnight Star

32 . We hope

Felix felt the cabin suffocating around him, the energy of the air seemed heavy and vibrating since Hyunjin and Chan went to the spirit realm.. it was strange seeing it. It didn't happen like the other time with a spell and enchanted drink, they were just here and suddenly Chan fell asleep on the chair and Hyunjin disappeared.. it was strange. Now they were sitting with two who seems sleeping but not.

Changbin and Han were making sure that Chan laid comfortably on the chair and also made sure that Seungmin was still tied and secure on his chair, which they had moved to the living room now to keep an eye on him and also Chan, they weren't comfortable with having him in the same room but they also knew he was harmless as a sorcerer but still sneaky as a human.

Jeongin was fixated on Minho, trying so hard to keep his fever under control and trying to replenish his energy as much as he could. It was scary looking at Minho like that, all colors drained from his face, his breathing is so shallow you have to really focus to notice his chest rising with each weak breath. But Jeongin didn't seem to lose hope now that Hyunjin is here and promised to fix it. Hope was alight again.

Felix sighed and got up from his seat and went over to the window, it was dark and silent outside, like the world too was waiting, hoping..

"What's taking them so long?" Felix asked his question aimed at no one in specific, just worried
"Shouldn't it be quick this time with the star? Hyunjin can heal him and wake them both... like in a second or something."

No answer came, just silence...

"And why did he take Chan?.. I mean... I understand why he had to go with Minho the first time but why now? What could possibly Chan do to help?"

"I don't know"
Jeongin finally answered placing a new wet towel on Minho's forehead "why didn't you ask him?"

"Because..." Felix stopped and turned back to look at his friends to find them all looking at him "I don't know.. it didn't seem to matter at that moment."

"Does it matter now?"
Jeongin asked looking back at Felix "Chan agreed to go without asking too. So I guess they both know or have some kind of plan."

"Or maybe they just wanted sometime alone together before Minho wake up and ruin everything again, they are taking their sweet time.."
Seungmin smirked and looked at Minho "He has a habit of ruining things."

"Shut up."
Jeongin didn't look at him and looked back at Minho "stop with all this poisonous words you keep saying.. Hyunjin would never do that.. you know that.. so stop."

Seungmin shrugged "people change.. even the dead ones."

"SHUT UP.." Changbin got up with his fists clenched ready to punch him if it weren't for Han who held him back
"They said we still need him... so not now."

Seungmin laughed and looked at Felix "why worrying so much? Don't you trust the star to fix everything."
"I trust Hyunjin."
"I said star not Hyunjin"
"They are one"
"No, they are not."
Felix didn't know what to say to that, he looked back out the window trying to ease his worries
"Hyunjin or the star, they are the same to me. I don't know which one I held while he cried, or which one I sat and joked around with just to see him smile.. Hyunjin is Hyunjin, he is one.. and I trust him."
"Then you are an Idiot."

"Stop... please stop."
Jeongin sounded broken and weak "why are you doing this?" He took a deep breath and looked at Seungmin "why do want to hurt them so much?"

Seungmin looked away, talking to Jeongin was still not easy and he knew that he won't understand him or even trust him now, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he didn't mean for Minho to get hurt, or for Hyunjin to live like that.. he just wanted...
