L e v e l - 21

It's been one month since that night. Everyone was doing okay and Blythe was discharged. Despite being discharged she still went to the hospital everyday.

Their parents had come too. Tearful reunions of parents and their child was the most touching thing that Blythe had seen all year.

"Did you go to school to take your finals?" Felix asked. It was one of those days where Blythe would stay in Felix's room and cuddle with him. The bruises on his face were gone and the bandage on his head was removed.

"Yeah, it wasn't as hard as I thought." Blythe answered. Felix rolled his eyes and pinched her cheek.

"You're so cocky if you fail I'm not going to treat you anymore." The boy teased. "You make me so proud."

"And you make me the happiest." Blythe mumbled. She closed her eyes, ready to fall asleep at an moment.

"My parents want me to move back to Australia."

All the sleepiness jumped out the window upon hearing this statement.

"I didn't know how to say it but it's better to not beat around the bush." Felix mumbled. He felt her snuggle in closer to him. "I'll try my best to convince them to let me stay, angel."

"As much as I would want that I don't want to be selfish. They're your parents Lix and they must miss you a lot." Blythe argued. She couldn't be selfish. His parents might hold a grudge against her for it.

Felix sighed as he expected that answer from Blythe. He knew why she would say that but still it hurt him that he has to leave.

"Just promise me you'll be back as soon as possible. Make a social media account or write letters." Blythe said. "When do they plan to go?"

"When I get discharged. So in a week?" Felix answered. "Until then I want to hold onto you until you get sick of me."

A knock on the door cut their moment short. Changbin entered the room and realized what he walked in on.

"I'm sorry! I came to talk to Felix but I didn't know you were here." Changbin apologized. He was ready to run out the door when Blythe got up.

"I'll leave you two to talk. I better not come back with you at each other's throat." Blythe said. She skipped out the room, leaving the two friends alone.

"Hey." Felix awkwardly greeted. "Take a seat."

Changbin pulled a chair to the side of Felix's bed and took a seat. He had his head hanging low while his hands were balled into a fist.

"How have—"

"I'm sorry." Changbin interrupted. His voice came out strained as he took deep breaths. "Hyung is sorry."

"Why are you sorry hyung? You did nothing wrong." Felix asked.

"I almost took something precious to you. I put our friendship on the line because of my feelings." Changbin said. The elder had been feeling guilty since he woke up and decided to talk things out with Felix. "I didn't try to understand your part. I always thought 'she'll love me anyway' but you can't make some love you if they love someone else."

"I would have done the same thing as you hyung. Heck I wouldn't have even let her go to you but there is something important I never thought about." Felix paused for a bit. "Her feelings matter too. So I'm thankful you considered her feelings too."

"Take care of her. It's the only thing I'm asking." Changbin said.

"You don't have to tell me twice. You take care of her too, she cares about you too. Don't make it awkward." Felix chuckled. Changbin felt his chest lighten. It was like he could finally breathe after talking to the younger.

"I'm sorry." Changbin whimpered as he could no longer hold the tears. Felix was flustered but he went closer to Changbin and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry too."

In the neighboring room everyone whose parents didn't come to visit gathered. Hyunjin, Jeongin, and Minho were inside.

"Why are you here again you hoe?" Blythe pointed at Kiya who sat by Minho.

"Can't I be with my boyfriend? You're with Felix like 24/7 so what are you doing here?" Kiya shot back.

During the one month, things between Minho and Kiya were fast and the next thing Blythe knew she walked in on them making out.

"Changbin and him are having a talk so I excused myself." Blythe answered, taking a seat by Minho. The older boy automatically pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Minho really gives the best cuddles."

"I can finally move my body properly so why not use it?" Minho said.

Minho was one of the few who had to go under physical therapy along with Chan. Chan had it worse being stuck in the game for the longest.

"Blythe guess what? I'm enrolling in your college next sem." Hyunjin chimed. "I had to beg my parents to let me go but when I mentioned your name boom they said yes."

"How about our you guys?" Blythe asked.

"I'm gonna apply for a job at a dance school maybe? Kiya told me there's one near your university." Minho answered. "What about you Jeongin?"

Jeongin seemed taken aback by the sudden question. He shrugged and continued playing with the hem of his shirt.

"I'm not sure yet." Jeongin answered. He could already sense the next question that was about to be asked. "Noona, let's go to see Chan-hyung!"

Before anyone could blink Jeongin already dragged Blythe out of the room. They walked down the hall and rode the elevator down to the floor Chan was in.

"Aren't his parents with him?" Blythe asked.

"They left earlier so he's trying to practice his balance." Jeongin answered. They spotted Chan sitting on the bench drenched in sweat. "Hyung!"

Chan looked up and smiled. He waved at the two who approached him.

"How's the therapy Chan?" Blythe asked. She took a seat beside him.

"I've improved so much according to the nurses. They say I'm good to go but I wanna work out a bit more." Chan answered. "Jeongin can you get me a drink?"

"Sure. Be right back." The young boy chirped. He happily skipped away and disappeared down the hall.

"Blythe have you noticed anything weird with Jeongin? He's still so down." Chan asked.

"What do you mean? Jeongin's always smiling and upbeat so no." Blythe thought for a bit before she realized. "Now that you mention it he's been quiet lately and avoiding conversations."

"I think it has something to do with his parents." Chan said.

"Why? What about his parents?" Blythe questioned.

"His parents haven't come yet."

A/N

I really thought that Changbin and Felix should really talk about it and not ignore it. I think talking it out is better and trying to be understanding so it doesn't affect their friendship *cue author's past trauma with her last relationship*

Just a little more and we're wrapping up :(((

Will Felix really move back to Australia though?
