The clinical white doors pushed open again as the staff wheeled Yeoni into the recovery area. She lay small and still on the hospital bed, her head tilted to the side as the heavy fog of the sedation kept her under. The nurses parked her bed in the center of the room where the cameras were stationed to capture the members waking up. Seungmin, who was already fully alert and sitting nearby, immediately he walked over to her side. He looked at her pale face and poked her arm gently, trying to get a reaction for the vlog. Yeoni-ah, wake up, he said with a mischievous grin. You looked like a total mess coming out of there. Yeoni didn’t open her eyes, but her lips moved. It wasn’t a joke or a complaint about hunger like the others. Instead, a soft, broken whisper came out of her mouth. Felix? Where is Felix? he glanced quickly at the camera crew behind him. He leaned in closer, trying to distract her. Yeoni, it’s Seungmin. Do you know who I am? Are you hungry? Yeoni shook her head slightly on the pillow, her brows knitting together in distress. No, I want Lix. Is he okay? Bring me to Yongbok-ah. She reached her hand out into the air, blindly searching for something. Seungmin felt a bead of sweat on his neck because he knew exactly why she was asking, but they were supposed to be keeping that a secret from the fans. He grabbed her hand to stop it from flailing, but she pulled away, her voice getting louder and more insistent as the drugs made her lose her filter. I need to hold his hand. Where did he go?
Just as Seungmin was about to signal the staff for help, the doors opened once more. Two nurses wheeled in another bed, and on it was Felix. He was just as sedated as Yeoni, his eyes closed tight and his breathing deep. The nurses moved with practiced efficiency, sliding Felix’s bed directly next to Yeoni’s. There was no space between them now. The cameras zoomed in, catching the exact moment Felix’s hand drifted off the side of his mattress. Even though he was completely unconscious, his fingers brushed against Yeoni’s arm.
The second she felt his touch, her entire body relaxed. Her frantic whispering stopped instantly. As if he could feel her even in his sleep, Felix’s hand found hers. His fingers slid between hers, interlocking them tightly. He pulled her hand onto his own bed, tucking it close to his chest while they both remained silent in the room Seungmin sat there in total silence, staring at their joined hands. The other members began to crowd around, watching the scene unfold. Yeoni finally settled, a small, peaceful smile appearing on her face as she turned her head toward him, her nose almost touching his shoulder.
