*Hansol's POV*

I woke up in a room of white. Bright light blinded my eyes as it glared at me from the ceiling. I looked up. The ceiling was so clean, I swore I was in heaven. The paint was finished, not like in many of the other bases we'd been in. I sat up slowly, and looked around quietly. The whole room was freshly painted white. There was expensive flower pots with beautiful coloured flowers in the corner, and a chair beside them looking out the window. I rubbed my eyes slightly. The room was quite small, and I was the only person in the room. I was laying on a quite large bed with white and blue blankets over it. The blankets looked almost new, and I began to wonder where I was. I breathed in through my nose, and a beautiful smell of flowers and new bed sheets wafted through my nose. I looked to the small table beside me. There was a small tray of food, with a small bowl of noodles, a carton of milk and a small container of gummy bears, sitting upon the surface of the table. I quickly grabbed the container of gummies and opened it. The thick smell of candy flew into my nose. It smelled amazing. Then my stomach began to rumble. I quickly scoffed my mouth with gummies. The chewy, sweet flavour lingered inside my mouth as I moved to the edge of the bed and walked to the window on one side of the room. I put my hands on the window and looked out of it. I was in a tall building in the middle of some sort of city, and there was cars driving on the road below. There was people walking along the pavement at the edge of the road. Lots of people. There was woman. There was children. There was men. There was animals. Dogs, cats and birds. There was no blood. The enemy was gone. I looked across. There were other tall buildings. Where was I? Was I dead? Then I felt a sudden feeling, as if I had been in this city before. I then realised that this looked like Busan. My home city. I dead. I surely was dead, wasn't I? I decided to walk to the door on the other side of the room, and open it. The door was very light compared to the ones in the bases, and it was clean. I stepped out into the hallway of white and grey. I looked down both corridors. I was confused. Then I looked on the door of the room I was in. There was a blue tag with Lee Hansol written on it in white marker. I looked across the corridor to another door. The door was basically the same, but instead it had the name Kim Minho on it. I walked up to the door, and pushed it open slowly. I looked around in the room. It was basically the same as mine. There was a boy sitting on the other side of the room in a chair, looking out the window. He was familiar but I couldn't quite figure it out. "Um... excuse me?" I said loudly. He turned around, then I finally recognised who he was as I saw his face light up. "Hansol!" He exclaimed running over to me. "Hansol... I-I thought you died." He muttered crying a little. I ran over, and wrapped my arms around him. I looked at him as I moved away. "I thought you died too." I replied. I frowned as I remembered the name on the door. "Who's Kim Minho?" I questioned looking at him. I wasn't familiar with the name, and I realised that Jay was the only one in the room with me. "Who?" He asked. I presumed for a minute that it was Min-Min, but then I remembered his full name was Jung Minsuk, and Min-Min wasn't here. "Kim Minho, the name it says on the door." I repeated for him. He sighed slightly and looked away. "That would be me." Jay replied. I looked at him. "My real name isn't Jay... it is Kim Minho." He explained. I was confused. His name wasn't Jay this whole time? Well... I did presume he had another name, but I thought it might've been Jaebum or something. Minho is definitely a nicer name than Jaebum I have to admit. And I think I like it more than the name Jay. I wonder why he changed it. I smiled. "Alright then. Now... the main question is... where the hell are we?" I asked. He shrugged. So I wasn't the only one questioning where we were. "I have no idea... it looks nice though!" He exclaimed. Then suddenly the door opened again. We all looked to the person as they walked through the door. "Taeil!!!" I shouted running to him. He smiled and hugged me. "Gosh, I went to see Hansol in his room and he vanished!! I was worried there, dude! Don't scare me like that!" He exclaimed chuckling. He walked over and sat down. "So are you both feeling better?" He asked. We both nodded. He smiled. "That's good. You boys did a great favour for Korea, we are happy the enemy is gone." He continued. I looked at Jay. He looked back at me. The enemy is gone? Does that mean... "We won?!" Jay exclaimed. Taeil nodded. "Didn't you notice we were home? We're in Busan hospital!" He exclaimed, pointing to the sign on the wall. The small sign said Busan Hospital in dark blue. I smiled slightly. "I'm home!" I exclaimed, jumping around with excitement. Jay frowned. "We're in Busan?" He questioned. "How long had we been out for? Why did it only take two attacks? Where are Ten and Sorata?" He asked. I didn't actually think of asking those questions. Taeil smiled. "Well, you were both out for about three or four months, it took four attacks, Sorata went back to Japan and Ten is at my home in Busan." He replied. I smiled, then I realised something. "Where am I going to live?" I asked. Taeil smiled. "In the same house as myself and Ten of course! Min-Min is there too, and I suppose Jay wants to come live there too- he is more than welcome to come live there- so of course you are to live there." He replied. Min-Min. He was in Busan. I smiled. "Take us there." I exclaimed.

We drove up the quite long driveway. I looked out the window to the quite small house. I could see Min-Min and Ten playing football on the lawn, kicking the ball into small hand-made goals. I smiled wider. We got out of the car quickly, and ran over to the two on the lawn. "Can we join?" I asked them. They turned to us and smiled as we reached the playing field. "Hansol!! Jay!! You're alive!!" They exclaimed, running over to us and hugging me. Jay quickly walked over and joined the group hug. "Of course you can play football with us!!" Min-Min exclaimed, answering my question. "Alright then! It's 2 on 2, Jay and Hansol versing Min-Min, and the incredible Ten!!!!" Ten exclaimed loudly running over to one goal. The incredible Ten? What a cocky name. I smiled widely. That would be the sort of name Siha would've given himself. "Oh it's on, the 'incredible' Ten!!" I chuckled. "Hey Dad, can you be the referee?" He asked looking toward Taeil. He smiled. "Of course! No cheating, alright Ten?" He said. If only Kris could see us now. I smiled. I could suddenly hear Siha's voice. "You made it, Hansol. It's all over, you can be free now, cub." Our shared dream was finally a reality, Siha. We did it. We won. I looked over to the others. This is my family now. And I hope, to never lose my family ever again. Ten frowned slightly, sticking out his tongue at my Uncle. "I never cheat Dad, I'm just that good that you would think I'm cheating!" He exclaimed pointing his finger at his father. Taeil chuckled slightly. "Sure, sure. I believe that. Alright! 3! 2! 1! Start!"
