"Felix!" I exclaim and he enters the room with a big smile.

I notice one thing that's different about him. His arm. It's a prosthetic arm. He wraps his arms around me and I soak in his presence, glad to see that he is still okay.

"You're finally awake!" Felix celebrates. "It's been hard staying up late with no one to talk to."

"Yah, I thought you only did that with me," Hyunjin interrupts in a jealous tone. I smirk at how overprotective he sounds and grab Hyunjin's hand.

"I'm pretty sure you two do way more things together late at night than just talking," Felix jokes. I glance over at Hyunjin nervously who just chuckles.

"Your arm," I changed the subject. "What happened?" I ask worriedly. Felix moves his prosthetic arm to wave at me.

"It's nothing really," Felix says calmly. "It's my battle scar I guess."

"Battle scar? What were you fighting?" I question. Felix smirks.

"JYP," Felix says in a low voice. My eyes grow wide and I look over at Hyunjin then back at Felix in confusion.

"Wait, JYP?" I repeat, not believing my ears. "Is he?" Felix nods.

"Before Felix finished him off, JYP shot him in the arm. His whole arm was paralyzed," Hyunjjn explains.

"Jae fixed me up though."

Looking at how much everything has changed makes me wonder how much the people have changed. A lot can happen in two months. I sigh and look at Hyunjin who notices that something is on my mind.

"What's up?" He asks me.

"Felix almost died while I was gone. Is... is there anyone else I should know who..," I say but in a shy voice. Felix and Hyunjin look at each other.

"Fortunately, no," They both say. Although no one else left this Earth, the fact that I never got to say goodbye to Seungmin still made me sad. As if God timed it perfectly, Sana and Jeongin walk through the door. I smile softly, seeing that they're both healthy and still alive. Felix and Hyunjin look at me.

"That's our cue," Felix says.

"I'll see you later, okay?"

Hyunjin looks into my eyes, resting his hand on my shoulder. I nod and he kisses my forehead. Him and Felix leave me with my sister and my best friend. Jeongin and Sana look like they've been crying.

"Why are you two so teary eyes?" I frown and they slowly walk over to me.

"We thought you would leave us," Sana says in a shaky voice. I immediately hug both of them and sigh.

"I love you guys," I whisper.

"Don't do that again," Jeongin says. I let go of our embrace and look at him.

"Don't do what?" I ask.

"Hyunjin told me how you sacrificed yourself," Jeongin explains. "If you do that again, I will be very angry," I grin at how cute Jeongin looks when he's angry. I squeeze his cheeks and giggle softly. Looking at him reminds me of Seungmin which makes me sad again.

The three of us talked for hours. It felt like the old times when we were all in mine and Sana's apartment hanging out. We all talked about the challenges we endured through and how much we each have changed. The loss of Chan and Seungmin will always stain our hearts but we will continue on for them. The rest of the day, we all reminisced about our past life and how we are doing now. There were tears and laughs. I was glad to spend time with them again.
