"I want to go home after the race," Felix croaked after Chan gave him the third glass of water, the freckled boy was parched, thought that he could drink a whole water tank filled with the liquid.

Chan chuckled, shaking his head a bit, "Not when you look like a punching bag," he said, returning the glass of water on the trolly that Kun brought in, "we may have instant pain killers, but instant bruise faders, we still have to wait for Seungmin to invent one of those."

Felix weakly laughed, "The one with glasses?" He asked, not quite surprised of the aforementioned male, "He must be a mad scientist."

Chan shrugged his shoulders, Felix was quite right, Seungmin, even though so young, he had such a mature mindset, and he always had to analyze, question and conclude things scientifically, he often isn't very sensitive, sometimes, that side of him can lead to problems and trouble.

Chan replied, "But if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be healed easily," he smiled at the reminiscence of how Seungmin would stay up at night at the laboratory of his teacher just to create his own medicines for the others, "Even though he doesn't share much emotion, I know that he cares a lot for everyone of us, and I know that he cares about you, too, Felix."

The door to the room squeaked open, and Yukhei's figure appeared, the same evil smirk as the one last night drawn on his lips.

"Lucky you, fresh meat," Yukhei said, glaring at Felix and Chan as he darted his eyes from one male to the other and vice versa, "Taeyong is giving you a consideration, since he's oh-so-kind-hearted and all." Yukhei took slow steps closer to Felix, the keys chiming as he did, as for Chan, he watched every movement Yukhei made, making sure that he wasn't up to any nasty tricks.

Holding up a key, Yukhei unlocked Felix's shackles, stepping aside so that the younger male could stand up properly, Chan gave Yukhei a look and the other did the same, "What?" Yukhei raised his brows, "You really think I was going to pull off some tricks? Joke's on you, but nope, not in the mood."

Rolling his eyes at Yukhei's statement, Chan moved closer to Felix to check on him before giving Yukhei a witty comeback, "Sounds like Jungwoo whenever he's busy being the son of the President to be unable to entertain you."

Yukhei snarled at Chan when Felix silently laughed at Chan's statement, assisting Felix to get up, Chan made his way towards the only exit and entrance of the room with Felix beside him as he helped the younger male walk. There weren't any words exchanged, just glares and intense eye contact, but that was enough to cause Chan to try to beat up Yukhei as long as there's no one else in that area, but then Felix was with them, so he let the glares and bad looks that Yukhei sent to him, pass.

Chan and Felix took their seats at the lounge, Chan borrowed the first aid kit from another Dispatcher, who was far better and nicer than Yukhei, to take care of some of Felix's injuries, "Thanks, Hendery," he thanked as he had given back the first aid kit to the other male, Hendery nodded with a narrow smile painted on his face, taking the first aid kit and putting it back to where it was placed before.

Smiling friendly at Felix as he returned, he spoke up sincerely, "I know that it's hard, Felix, but soon enough, you'll get used to it, it's just unusual for your leader to send a new member at the battlefield on their first day," Hendery turned to look at Chan, raising a teasing brow, "sounds like he's-"
