Felix opened his eyes. At first, he didn't know where he was, but soon he remembered that he had stayed over at Lina's house. Realising he wasn't able to move or feel his legs and hands, he just stayed in bed. Until Soobin walked into the room and just said down on a chair, reading the newspaper. „Where's Lina? I want her to be here." he asked, making the woman stumble for a second. „She's already left for school. We decided not to wake you up.“ she explained. Felix understood, but he still wanted her to be there and hold his hand. He wouldn't have felt anything anyway. „Do you want to go home?" „If I don't have to, no. I got enough things here, I don't need that much." Both people started talking and Felix closed his eyes once again, starting to cry from the pain. „Don't cry" Soobin said and moved the chair closer to the boy. „You know, crying is pretty tiresome. And instead of crying, you could use that strength for other things. I probably don't have to tell you, but Lina is also suffering from seeing you like this. Sometimes even she doesn't want to live on like this and cried her eyes out. It was extremely bad while you were in a coma. She was so sad about it and missed you as a shoulder to cry on. And when you came home, she often woke up exhausted from worrying about you the whole time. Yet, she somehow always brought up the strength and will to go over to you and take care of you. Stop crying and talk a bit more with Li when she's home, Okay? I'm so proud, of you both. Proud of her for taking care of you and proud of you for not giving up." Felix nodded, going back to sleep.

„Felix!" Ryan said and shook the boy awake. „S-sorry.. Did I fall asleep?" Felix asked and his friend nodded. „Come on, we have to get on stage!" His senior said and pulled the boy along behind him. Was the whole coma thing just a dream? But before he could think of it further, all five boys were on stage and started dancing. While performing, he could see and hear his girlfriend screaming his name and cheering for him. His mum and dad were there, too. What was that for a weird dream? He asked. The show was over way too fast and all boys went off the stage, running to their parents. Felix sprinted to his dad, hugging him tight once he reached him. „You did so well." his dad said, stroking his son's back. When they were done hugging, Lina literally jumped into his arms. „Are you happy?" she  asked and the boy nodded. „I can't believe the stage is over already. It was really really cool." „You guys all looked so good up there, Felix."

„Felix?" Lina quietly asked and put her hand on her boyfriend's face. He opened his eyes and wanted to get up, but he found himself back in the guest room. Li sighed and pulled him up. „Good morning. STAY here for a second, while I get you the wheelchair, Okay?" she advised and the boy nodded. But as soon as he was alone again, he got up. But not for long, since he had no feeling in his legs and whatsoever, so he just fell down. His left arm started to hurt terribly, but he didn't care, being used to such pain by then. He pulled himself up again, that he was sitting on the bed. When the girl finally came back into the room, Felix was too tired to even get in the wheelchair, so his father in-law had to carry him in. He couldn't bare the pain today, but didn't want to alarm anyone, so he just put on a fake smile and wheeled himself around, always being behind Lina and doing everything she did. „Can you read me something? Maybe the book you're reading right now?" he asked while they were in the living room. Li started laughing. „Yes, my child." she teased, grabbed the book and started reading. It was in Korean, but he didn't mind not understanding anything. As long as he was distracted from the pain, he was okay. „아들... Hey, are you even listening?" Felix was pulled out of his thoughts and just nodded. „Yup. What's the story about?" „It's a folk tale, about how the sun and moon were created. It's actually a story my mum used to read to me while I was like five years ol-" The doorbell rang and Lina rushed to open it, followed by her boyfriend. When the door opened, Hoshu, Hyunjin and Changbin stood in front of them. Felix was happy to see all of them, except Changbin. He didn't know that guy enough to figure out if he should befriend him or not. Right now, he seemed like no one he should like. Only after they stepped in, he realised Hyunjin was holding a box. „We've got something for you!" his friend said, making his way into the dining room. Felix followed the new guy, trying to figure out what's in this box. He opened it and saw a cake staring at him. After looking at it closely and somehow managing to get it out in one piece, he read what stood on the cake out loud. „Congratulations to 1.5 million $ dollar in fund raising!?" he almost screamed. Hyunjin and Changbin started laughing. „Yup, congrats, Felix!" Lina also started crying behind him, running her fingers through his hair. The boy also began to cry. „So, I'll start treatment soon, right? When?" „Tomorrow, honey, tomorrow." „So you knew about it?" „Yeah, sorry for not telling you, he wanted to surprise you." „Nice! And on what days will I get treatment?" „Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday."
