the next day changbin is excused from school to visit felix. it would be a surprise to the aussie boy, but changbin wished for the best. he brought felix some chocolates and a cute bear, from his perspective, having something to cuddle with or hug always made him feel better.

as he greets his father in his office, he walks on over to felix's room. it was later after twelve so the boy should be awake. knocking on the door, he waits for a response. barging in would be too sudden, in addition to that, how felix acted the other day might cause commotion. minutes pass and the door opens slowly, a small "hello...?" comes from inside the room.

"hey, felix it's me changbin."

the door shuts. changbin sighs and knocks once again, he's ignored and doesn't seem to mind. he leaves the stuff at his door then knocks one last time. he walks away and hopes that felix will come out to take the small gift. changbin's mission was to gain felix's trust. he wanted the younger to know that everything would be okay between them. baby steps and patience would be their best friend within the process. there was nothing specific they wanted out of felix, such as descriptive answers of what went on within his mind of why he killed chan. they all simply wanted the freckled face boy to grow and become stable again. that's all they desired and it simply was changbin's mission to obtain that goal.

walking to his father's office, he opens the door quite abruptly. his father working on paper work smiles at his son. "changbin, yes?"

"he shut me out, but I left my gift." the boy tells, crossing his arms. "he doesn't seem like he's in the mood to talk, so I'll just leave him be. I can't push his buttons."

"do whatever you think will help. he's your patient now."

"dad, technically I'm not even an official therapist or counselor." changbin says with a smile, "besides, it'll take a lot of experience and proof to call myself one."

"although felix hasn't been here long, he has a lot going on within him. being with the boy will give you a lot of experience, trust me."

"dad, you're so mysterious." changbin shakes his head, "it makes my head hurt."

"helping felix will make your head hurt even more. I'm not implying this in a bad way, but managing and helping our patients are not easy. they all have their little problems that we must carefully listen to and find the best solutions to them." mr. seo adjusts his reading glasses and looks at the paperwork more carefully. "such as this boy, he does not seem quite right."

"you usually don't say things about those who enter the center." changbin says, somewhat confused yet intrigued. "is this a new patient? or someone who's been here long term."

"new, but quite familiar to you."

"who?"

his father then rips off his glasses, rubbing the creases of his eyes as he sighs. "yang jeongin might be entering the center. which will be a good opportunity for him, yet I do not want him to interfere with felix's recovery.
