His Last Hope ｜ A Lee Felix FF (sometimes 18+) 《COMPLETED》

「Chapter 13」

(normal=English, bold=Korean)

„There's two new boys in the dance team now!" I heard Hoshu say through the phone, while he was calling Felix. „I've heard they're both from South Korea, not sure if they speak English. One of them is called Minho, and someone said he's been dancing for 4 years now! And I've seen the other guy, I only know his Last name is Hwang, he's really handsome!" the teen fanboyed. Felix was sitting in his room, his wheelchair facing a window. While sitting, he was just tall enough to look out of it. „If Lina allows it, I'll pull by today. They'll be there as well, right?" „Yup" „Okay. I'll see if I can persuade my girlfriend. See you then, bye!" Felix hung up and turned his wheelchair in the direction I was sitting. He came closer to me, and grabbed my hands with his. „Don't even ask. Of course we're going!" I said. Felix started smiling over both ears. I jumped up and wheeled him to the stairs. It was always a torture getting him downstairs, and just as we were on the last step, I tripped and we fell. I was glad for a second, knowing I landed on something soft, but I knew that it was Felix. We both just started laughing. „Well, I guess I'll have to practice." I stood up and also pulled Lix back in his wheelchair. I wheeled him into the hallway, grabbed our shoes and helped him put his on. „Did you hurt anything?" I asked while tying one of Lix' shoelaces. „Nope, I'm fine. Thank you for asking." he said, letting his 'inner gentleman' as I liked to call it, out. „And Hoshu said the dudes are Korean? Well, you're lucky you have a Korean girlfriend! In case if they don't speak English, I'll translate for you." I said while I remembered some things of my early childhood in Incheon. „Just.." Felix started and put his hand on my shoulder „Please don't hang out with them more often than with me, just because they speak your native language." he asked. I nodded and put my head on his lap. After a few seconds, I raised my head again, stood up and we went outside. There were two more steps to get down, but we made it eventually. Lix pushed himself the whole way to our school. We had to go up stairs once more, once we were in the building. I tried to carry my boyfriend up, but he gained weight and was too heavy. „Need help?" an unfamiliar voice asked and stood next to me. I didn't know him, but I was almost sure that is was this handsome Hwang guy Hoshu talked about earlier. „Yeah, Thank you." I said, stepped aside and watched the new guy carry up my boyfriend. Felix also thanked the tall boy, but because he was using relatively fancy words, the foreigner didn't understand. „You're the new one from Korea, right?" I asked the guy, causing him to stare at me in shock, but then get comfortable. „Yeah. I'm so happy that there's someone Korean here. I mean, Minho is there,too, but I was afraid I wouldn't find any friends. My name's Hyunjin, Hwang Hyunjin." We both bowed, then shook hands. Felix looked a bit uncomfortable not knowing what we were saying, but he didn't try to stop us talking in another language. „Is he your boyfriend?" „Yes he is." „Oh okay, cool. Why are you here? Do you know anyone from the dance team?" „Felix, that's him, was on the dance team before he needed the wheelchair. He wanted to see his old friends again." I explained. Hyunjin turned to Lix and gave him his hand. „I'm Hwang Hyunjin, I mean, Hyunjin Hwang. I'm not used to say my name first. I'm really sorry about your accident. I hope we'll be friends." the tall guy said. His English was a lot better than I originally thought, but you could hear he wasn't a native speaker. I didn't have a Korean accent, because I moved to Australia while still in kindergarten, so I had more of an Australian accent. Felix nodded and started to talk with the new guy all the way to the dance room. When we entered the studio, I guess it was Minho, greeted us and gave Felix flowers. „Thank you. I'm Felix Lee. My parents are also from Korea. Nice to meet you." Lix said and shook hands with the older boy. „Minho?" Hyunjin said, catching the attention of the foreigner. „She's also Korean." He said and both guys smiled at me. „Where are you from?" „I'm from Incheon, and you?" „We're both from Seoul. Gimpo, to be exact." „What's you name?" „I'm Lee Minho, I think Hyunjin already introduced himself. And what are you called?" „I'm Park Yuna, but call me Lina. Nice to meet you two. I think we should speak in English now, the others seem uncomfortable." Both boys nodded. I didn't even notice that Felix already pulled himself onto his feet and was now standing next to me. „It's your turn with sitting in the wheelchair! Come on, sit down, Li." Felix joked and pushed me down. The wheelchair was still warm and surprisingly comfortable. „Lix, I don't know what you mean when you say your chair is uncomfortable, it's really nice!" I said and wanted to stand up, but someone already pushed me over to the couch. „Felix, you need the wheelchair and not me." I said and stood up. Felix rushed to me, I don't know why. His attempt looked more than awkward, until he suddenly stopped. I noticed his knee looked off and he sat down. Lix put both his hands on his lower leg, pulled it up quickly and then let it go again. „I'm so sorry you have to get in touch with his condition on your first day here" I apologized to Hyunjin and Minho, who didn't look all that good watching a disabled guy relocate his knee. „Are you okay, Felix?" Hyunjin asked, scratching the back of his head. My boyfriend nodded. All of us started to talk, and somehow Felix' condition came up as a topic. „How much would it cost for them to fix you all up?" Patrick asked. Felix thought for a second, then shrugged. „I think they said it could differ between 0.5 and 1.5 million dollar. At least it was way too expensive to pay and my health insurance also doesn't want to pay that much." Hyunjin seemed to have an idea. „There's a TV show that raises money for people like you. It's from Korea, but it's starting to get international. Maybe if you go on that show, you could raise enough money to get your treatment." he suggested. Lix looked a bit surprised and a shimmer of hope showed in his face. „I could write a request to the show explaining your situation, and maybe you'll have a chance to get some of the surgeries done." I said and hugged my boyfriend. Everyone agreed it was a good idea. „But Lina, you know my mother, I doubt she'll allow it."„It's okay, I'm going to talk to her. And you're turning 18 soon, too. And when you're an adult, she can't decide on what you do and don't do." I explained and let him go.
