Restoration

noun

1.
the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition.

Everyone was walking on eggshells around Chan. No one would know why he'd be upset or angry. He was very agitated. Except with Felix. With Felix he'd cuddle him, hug him, pat his head. Everyone was confused. Especially Hyunjin.

"Felix, can we talk?"

"Yeah, what's up Changbin hyung?"

"Felix, how come he's only nice to you?"

Felix chewed on his lip, "We talked and he apologized."

Changbin walked away with a sad smile,

"You don't see it do you..."

You don't see it do you...

Felix called out for Changbin, he didn't get a response.

It was late. 2 am. He was still up. He was up because he couldn't stop thinking about Changbin had said. You don't see it do you... he turned to his side, Hyunjin fast asleep, I'm one of Felix's shirts, he kissed his cheek and got up, walking towards the recording room, where he was certain he'd find Chan.

He knocked lightly thrice. He pushed the door with the flat of his hand,

"Chan hyung? Are you here?"

Chan was half-asleep, he had his yellow notepad put infront of him, he'd been writing song lyrics. He was in an oversized black hoodie, hair tousled in all directions, lips slightly parted, head hung low,

"Chan? Are you up?"

Chan coughed twice,

"Yeah, Felix? What are you?"

He tried to get up but failed, instead he fell onto the floor, landing with a loud thud.

"Oh my-Chan!"

Felix bent down next to him, he held his head in his arms,

"Chris wake up!"

Heart thumping loudly.

Hands shaking.

Voice quivering.

He called out for Chan again, before screaming.

Hyunjin ran in,

"Felix! What's- call the ambulance now!"

Han and I.N followed soon, followed by Minho, Seungmin and Changbin. Hand covered I.N's eyes as he began to scream and cry. Seungmin ran over to Chan's side, rubbing his hand in between his own, Minho grabbed some water and sprinkled it into his face.

An agonizing 10 minutes later Chan's eyes began to flutter open,

"Felix? Changbin? Minho? Han? Hyunjin? Seungmin? Jeongin? What are you? Are you? Crying?" He asked that to I.N and Felix. Felix hushed him and held him close, breathing him in,

"Thought you- what happened?"

Chan sat up, but quickly sunk down, groaning in pain,

"I don't know. I was working and you came in, I don't know."

Hyunjin crouched next to him, before attacking him with a hug,

"Don't you ever do that again hyung."

Others nodded and cuddled up next to him. They all fell sleep right there. All except for Felix. He couldn't get the scene outta his mind. He released himself and went to the kitchen.
