"I found something!" Changbin and Hyunjin looked over at their (still injured) friend.  Hyunjin had taught Changbin how to play some new video game.  It wasn't too different from what he used to play, so he caught on quickly.  Meanwhile, Seungmin had been furiously flipping pages trying to find something related to Tsumetai.

"What'd you find?"

"It's a summary of everything those doctors had been able to find out about your disease.  It doesn't directly name you or the disease anywhere, but it's obviously talking about the Tsumetai case."  The youngest slid the book over to his two friends. 

"Yeah, this sounds exactly like what the doctors would tell me," Changbin remarked.

"So, I think I know how we could help."

"What makes you think it'll be so easy?"

"Well, you said you've been happier since you met us, and as a result the effects of the disease weren't as bad.  Maybe if we just make you happy, you'll get better."

Changbin sighed.  "I highly doubt that's going to work.  If it was that easy to cure, I probably wouldn't be sick in the first place."

"It won't hurt trying then." Hyunjin patted his shoulder and smiled.

Seungmin pushed a paper and pen towards his sick friend.  "Write down everything you like, and everything you've ever wanted to do."

Changbin looked at the two doubtfully, but started writing anyways.

Changbin pushed the paper aside, and left it out on the table.

"Is that all?"

"I think so.  I couldn't think of much."

"What did you want to be?" Hyunjin asked.

"Like, a profession?"

Hyunjin and Seungmin nodded.

"I liked to rap and produce music.  I always enjoyed writing lyrics too."

"Want to audition for JYP?" Seungmin suddenly asked.  Changbin scoffed.

"I don't know about that.  Don't you have to be really good to make it into a company?"

"Are you really good?"

"Well, kind of-"

"Then you're auditioning.  Lucky for you, they're having open auditions tomorrow afternoon," Hyunjin said.

"What do I do?"

"Just rap or whatever.  Show off some of your own lyrics and stuff.  They like original works anyways.  I'm sure you'll be accepted.  Besides, when you make it in you'll have all of us to help you."

Hyunjin was very convincing, and Changbin almost agreed, but there was one thing stopping him.

"What about Chan?  Can he audition too?"

"Of course!  Text him and ask if he wants to come along."

Changbin ran into his, or Jisung's, bedroom and quickly found Chan's contact.

Chan:

CB:
