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

『Chapter 21』

Felix was back in the hospital. It was especially bad because he couldn't walk and was bound to the wheelchair once again. All that on his 18th birthday! The now young man was really bored, only the TV distracting him at the time. He was mad at himself for not realising in time that he was getting worse. He was sad that he had to spent his birthday in the hospital, while enduring pain. Lina said she would bring him a surprise, but he didn't want it. He was too miserable to stay concentrated for longer than a minute. Felix was sitting on the side of his bed and looking out of the window, turning his head towards the TV every few minutes. „Felix, you're so stupid! You're just a failure!" he quietly said to himself while rubbing his eyes with his hands. He already felt like the nurse in charge was more of a mother to him than his own. Everyone on his infirmary was so nice to him. He had even gotten a single room, since he was always in a bad mood and the other patients just pissed him off 99% of the time. Someone knocked at his door, but he was too into his thoughts and didn't answer. He heard a nurse sort out his pills and fill a cup with water. „Happy Birthday, Felix. Or should I say Mr Lee?" the woman joked, making the boy turn around and face her. „Thank you, thank you so much. You guys are all so nice to me." he thanked and started smiling at the nurse, who giggled. „We try our best. But you're such a nice boy, we can't possibly not be nice to you." she said and handed him the meds. „Take your pills and I'll get you something real quick" he did as she said, watching her leave the room. He didn't know why he still had to take those meds, since he received the treatments and had an IV with nothing attached to it. When he was done swallowing half of the things, the nurse came back with a big mug. „Oh, thanks!" he thanked once again, swallowed the leftover pills and drank the glass of water. The nurse pulled one of the foldable tables over his bed and put the mug on it. Inside, there was a little cupcake. „It's nothing too fancy, we just had microwave cake. It's chocolate flavor, I hope you'll enjoy it." Felix thanked her once again and waited till she had left. He wasn't hungry at all, but also didn't want to make the nurses worried, so he just forced the food down his throat. He missed everyone. Lina, Mr and Ms Park, his mum, Hoshu, Mark, Minho and Hyunjin, even Changbin. Just everyone that could distract him from his misery. After an hour, it was 9 am now, there was another knock on the door. „Where's my big birthday boy?" a very sweet and also very familiar voice said and rushed into the room. Lina threw herself onto the bed and hugged her boyfriend. „Happy birthday, babe. I love you and wish you very well for your adult life." she said. It was very obvious that she tried to avoid the 'stay healthy' part, because it really wouldn't make sense considering his condition. „Thank you. I love you too. What about the surprise?"  he started to get impatient. He loved surprises! The girl laughed, jumped up and pulled a few people into the room. Hyunjin, Hoshu, Changbin, Ryan and his mum. „Mum!" he yelled and wanted to jump up, but remembered he couldn't walk. She just gave him a nod and went outside again. Felix felt let down once more, but tried not to show it. Everyone congratulated him and gave him some gifts. He then had: A new pair of earrings from Hyunjin, a koala stuffed animal from Hoshu, tickets to a dance show from Ryan, three giant pillows from Changbin and a very expensive watch from Lina. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he enjoyed Changbin's present the most, since he finally had something comfortable to lie on, which gave him the feeling of being home again. While thanking everyone, he forced himself to stay awake and not  show he was hurting, not even a little bit. „I'm really happy to have friends like you!" he said and started laughing. „And we're happy that we have a friend like you." Ryan assured him. Hoshu sat down next to his older friend, hugging him. Felix was so happy the boy finally had the courage to really hug him. „I'm proud of you, Hoshu" „Really? You are?" „Of course. You're so good at dancing, you could easily beat me, even if I was still like before." Hoshu blinked. „But! You're still the same as before! Your personality didn't change!" he protested. The 18 year-old sighed. He didn't want to start a fight on his birthday. The younger boy let him go and stood up. Felix suddenly started to shiver. „Are you cold by any chance?" Hyunjin, who was sitting at a small table with Changbin, asked. Lix nodded and grabbed his blanket, burying himself in the pillows. „I think us boys should better get going now. If you want us to come over again, just text us!" Ryan said and all 4 guys left. „No! Don't go!" Felix wanted to scream, but he didn't. He was mad at himself again. And he also felt like he was freezing, even though he was covered in a blanket and it were 26°C outside. Only Lina stayed with him, holding his hand once more. „I'm freezing to death!" he informed her, the girl shaking her head. „You're not, honey. You're fine" „I'm scared! I'm dying, I'm freezing!" Felix protested and started crying a bit. „Pull yourself together a bit!" he said to himself, putting on a fake smile. But his girlfriend reminded him that he didn't have to hold anything back, so he didn't. He started crying like a baby again. „Just keep going, I'm okay with anything you do right now." she whispered in his ear. She wiped her hand along his back, trying to keep him as calm as possible. When Felix somehow managed to convince himself he was at home, he was finally relaxed. „Woah, I just now realised that I'm an adult. I can move in with you. If you want, of course." he laughed and Lina nodded. She certainly wanted him to move into her house.
