"Even here, I kept believing in winning over everything with my will to fight. Bravado can't last anymore."

The nurse came in to tell us that visiting times were now over and that I had to stay overnight. She noted on the fact that I was supposedly in a coma, but the doctors were unsure. I looked at both Jeongin and Chan, who were in pure shock while all I felt was nervousness. I just wanted to be back in my body. I sighed and got up with the other two, observing them as we made our way out of the hospital and back to Chan's house. Everyone was dead silent. I wanted to say something to stop it, but I couldn't come up with anything.

I heard the voice again.

'Get Chan.' The voice echoed even louder than before. I looked down to Chan's hand before back up to his face, which was glued to the ground.

'Why?'

'Do it. Now.' The last word burned in my head. I visibly winced and at the very least got closer to the older. It confused him but he thought nothing of it.

'Are you happy?'

'More.'

'No.'

'More, you idiot!'

'No!'

'You're going to regret this.'

'Wh-' I felt my heart stop for a second, causing my eyes to roll back. I gasped the moment I was able to get air once again. I began vigorously coughing, catching the attention of the other two.

"FELIX!" The two ran to my side, pulling me into a hug.

"What the hell happened?" Chan asked, his eyes shaky.

I stumbled on my words. "I-I-I don't kn-now." Normally I didn't like crying in front of others, but I couldn't hold it. I cried into their arms, Jeongin stroking my hair as I did. Was Felix starting to get to me? No, that would be weird. But the more I thought, I realized that he possibly could. He was still stuck in his head anyways. I coughed little by little as we continued the way to Chan's home. Whenever we made it back, Chan gave me a peppermint to calm down my coughing. I sat on the leather couch beside Jeongin where we decided to turn on something random, like Spongebob. We watched some of the episodes, laughing at some moments. Then something hit me.

My sister must be worried sick.

I knew my sister was one to freak out a bit, and being stuck in a situation like this, she's definitely worried. I looked to my side to find Jeongin sleeping beside me peacefully. I gave the younger a soft smile before leaving the living room. I looked around for Chan, but he wasn't anywhere to be found. Did he already fall asleep himself? I glanced at the time on the oven: 12:56 am. Already? Goodness, yesterday went by fast.

I walked up the stairs making my way to the bathroom. It must've been there, since it was the last place I was conscious at. The bathroom was completely clean, except for my phone lying on the ground. I grabbed it, seeing it was at around 70%. I let out a sigh of relief and looked down to a text from my sister.

'Where are you? I'm worried sick.'

'I'm at Chan's house. Sorry I didn't tell you, but I'm staying the night.'

I sent it quickly, not thinking much of it. I got a notification not long after.

'Seungmin you've been really sus lately. I hope you're okay...'
