Stays really were going crazy. They seemed to love tthe attention the kids showered on them, anf Felix watched their adrenaline-flushed faces blur into one another. He was at the center stage, and refused to go out into the crowd mainly because one one thing.

A pimple.

Smack dab in the middle of his forehead. Of course he was embarassed. What 24 year old man still had acne? Lots of them, he knew, but it never happened to HIM. Maybe on his chin, or his jawline... but that wasn't the point.

So he stayed in the center of the T-shaped stage and sat down at the edge, swinging his feet and waving and completing some handouts. He also subtly checked a few pretty stays and pretended he didn't.

A subtle connection drew his eyes to the side and he met Hyunjin's at the barricade where the elder was watching him with his raw bitten lip. Hyunjin smirked at Felix before turning to couple of girls and holding their hands for a split second too long. Felix had no idea what that was all about. He focused on the stays in front of him as his head began to swim.

Damn. His nervous excitement and concert adrenaline had began to wear off and now he was dizzy. He had not eaten anything that morning, and he regretted it. But it reallyy wasn't bad. He just had Hall of Fame, domino and miroh to get through. See, not bad at all.

Felix's sight blurred slightly and his voice hitched as he sang along to the bass pumping in his chest. If he fainted or worse, stas would be worried and he would trend for days. He needed to get Bangchan. Maybe take his supplements and glucose to get through this concert. The stays in front of him were still screaming, but it was pitched with a bit of nervousness as they watched him wince and touch his hands to his eyes. He raised his hadns and waved to them with a smile to quell their worry.

He loooked around the stadium. Seungmin and I.N were nowhere to be found, Changbin could be heard through the speakers but Felix could not see his blue hair anywhere. Minho and Jisung were at the other side of the stadium barricade and he could barely see the top of Hyunjin's curly head.

Chan. Chan could be backstage. Felix could go join him and maybe ask for help.

Felix stood and smiled as the camera focused on him, but the sudden rush of vertigo made him see black and flail around. Before he knew it, his world was turned on it's side.

Han Jisung was walking down the stairs at the very edge of the T shaped stage with his mic close to his chest and his head bopping to the loud beats. He liked when stays were this loud, engaging with their music so much. He felt so loved in this moment.

There was a collective loud gasp followed by loud white noice that echoed in the speakers. His confused find fought to come to terms with what was going on as he brought his hands up to cover his ears. The large screens cut off.

Then the screams started.

It wasn't his aisle. It was further to his left. Jisung frowned at the sounds of distress as his heart began to pound. No. No. He needed to keep calm. He didnt know what was happening to make the stays in that section so scared, but it made his stomach crawl.

"Jisung!" Minho was nearby and screaming his name. When his hyung caught up, panting, Jisung saw relief on his face. "Oh, you're alright."

"Hyung, what's going on?"

Changbin appeared from seemingly nowhere and grabbed Minho's shoulders. "It's Felix. He showed on the big screen."

Han Jisung struggled to keep his calm.

Chan heard the commotion nearby and the sound of a mic dropping peirced his ears. What were his members up to now?

He looked up at the big screen to see an image that would forever be burned into his mind before the screen was cut off. One thought occoured in his mind before he took off sprinting.

Felix.

He reached the area where Felix had been sitting about, waving to stays just a few minutes ago. He hadn't been far, he had just been talking to a few security officers.

Stays surrounded Felix.

They had broken off the barricade and overpowered the security officer in order to get to Felix. Chan didn't have time to worry about rudeness as he pushed past the crowd and got to the center.

He only took a second to process the image before him. Felix, lying on the ground with a pool of blood surrounding and drenching his blond head. It wasn't hard to piece together what had happened. He had fallen off the stage. Two people were touching his neck and his wrist. Their sleeves were also stained with blood. "He's alive!" They screamed to the crowd. "He just needs space!"

"Anyone knows CPR?!" He heard someone behind him ask. "Call 911!" Chan rolled up his sleeves and carried Felix's broken body up into his arms. The man was so frail, Chan didn't know when he had eaten last and a nigging paranoia at the back of his head told him it was his fault.

He reached backstage just as Hyunjin came with the mdeic hot on his heels. The dancer's ees were haunted as Chan placed Felix on the lone couch and stepped back to let the medic attend to him.

"I couldn't go through the crowd. I had to get the medic." Hyunjin's voice was trembling. "I don't get it, he was fine a few minutes ago."

Chan went to his bandmate and pulled him into an embrace that made him very aware of his tense pposture. Hyunjin did not cry, but Chan could tell he was fighting it.

"Hyung!" I.N burst through the backstage curtains with Seungmin on his heels. As their eyes fell on their bandmate, Seungmin stared while I.N looked away. "We heard from some stays. We were too far away."

Chan held out his arm for the younger to accept his embrace. A rare occasion. He feared he could not speak unless he would burst into tears of anger and self-blame.

"Is he gonna be alright, hyung? It's not too serious, right?" This was Seungmin. He seemed to be examining the situation, but his voice was also shaky.

"He'll be fine." Chan hated telling lies, and so he hoped this was not one.

Changbin stepped in and purposedly marched to Felix's side, to the disgruntlement of the medic, and sighed as he took the unconscious man's hand in his. Minho and Jisung came in after him.

Jisung took a look at his bandmate before gasping and turning into Minho's chest. Minho's hand came up to rest on Jisung's hair as he turned to Chan.

"He's spiraling a bit." Minho said as explanation.

"I'm okay, i'm fine." Jisung reassured, even as his shaking and spiteful voice proved otherwise.

Chan came up to hug Jisung shortly before letting go.

When Felix awoke, he was connected to several machines and his body felt like it'd been hit by a truck. His eyes were bleary and his throat was parched. He tried to sit up on the bed.

"A brain bleed, an ankle fracture and a severe case of malnutrition." Chan said byy way of greeting as he sat in the chair beside Felix's. He took a plastic cup from his bedside table and passsed it to Felix filled with water. "What were you thinking?"

"Felix drank from the cup in many hearty gulps. It had a bit of honey mixed in that softened his throay. "Sorry, my bad. I tried to call-" He trailed off into silence as his ragged voice broke.

Chan's face that was formerly stiff and scolding became caring. Chan lifted his hand andcupped Felix's cheek. Eitheer Felix was really thin or Chan's hand was just that big, Felix's face fitted into Chan's hand. "It's not your fault. It's mine for not noticing sooner." Chan raised a hand to still whatever Feliix was going to say. "Just be okay, alright? Please just be healthy."

Felix nodded, not trusting his voice.

Chan smiled a watery smile. "That's good then. I'll send Hyunjin here, he's been waiting for you to wake."

Only when Chan exited the room did Felix sit up and feel the bandage around his head. He sighed. He was sure he was now trending on various sources of media, and it was all his fault.

"Felix." He heard an airy voice speak, and his eyes darted to the door as Hyunjin came in and sat beside him. "You're alright now, right?"

Felix nodded. He lifted his hand to the other's chin and smiled at him, then wiped a tear as it slid down Hyunjin's cheek. His hyung wrapped his hand around Felix's neck, careful to avoid his bandages, and spoke. "I'm glad, then."
