Jisung's P.O.V.

Minah walks beside me on our way to the office, the girl seemingly unable to shake the feeling of anxiety as we make our way closer and closer.

"Minah, c'mon," I wrap a comforting arm around her shoulder. "Everything will be okay. Even if he isn't ready, Chan's been looking after him. Lee Know will be 100% fine."

"I know..." she mutters, hands below in constant fidget as she plays with her fingers. We slightly stop in our tracks before entering the workplace building, I then doing my best to give her another comforting pat on the head. "But still. I can't help but be worried."

"I understand," I shrug. "But just think of it- no matter what happens, at the end of this entire fiasco, you'll be happy! And with Lee Know! Hopefully."

She opens her mouth, but right when she was about to reply, Minah and I suddenly catch a familiar orange haired boy walking in our direction.

"Jisung, don't say 'hopefully'," he strolls over, lightly smacking the back of my head. I start to yell, before Felix completely cuts me off. "Anyways, we need both of you in the uh, 'operating room', as people have been calling it."

"'The operating room'? And you're getting mad at me for saying hopefully?" I narrow my brows, as we reluctantly tail behind Felix. Minah doesn't peep a word, seeming perhaps way too nervous in that moment.

We walk in the room, and my eyes instantly go to the bed in the corner.

...Lee know?

"Ah, You're here," Chan turns around to face us, looking completely disheveled. His hair was extremely messy, and he was still in his pajamas. It looked like- "I've been working here all weekend... but I have some good news. The memory transfer is complete."

I gulp, my entire body rushing with cold. Minah's eyes widen beside me, there was no doubt she was nervous too.

"And?" I ask, searching for further information. "Dude, we need a few more details here."

"All we need to do is wake him up."

At this point, Minah looks almost too nauseous to stand. Swallowing thickly, she opens her mouth, weak words escaping softly. "I ah, don't think... I'm going to go get some work done. Jisung, can you...?"

"I'll call you if anything happens." I say quietly.

"Thanks." Giving an apologetic bow to Chan and Felix, she flashes a weak smile before dashing for her office.

Soon after she leaves, the two Aussies were looking equally perplexed, both peculiarly now staring at me.

"What was that about?" The two both ask, equally concerned.

"She's been worried about this all weekend," I say, walking next to them, who were standing near the bed. "I tried to help her get her mind off it, but... I don't think it worked."

"Speaking of," Chan says, a look of pain on his face. "I really don't know how to wake him up. I don't think any technology would do the trick."

"Well, he's human now, right?" I ask, my curiosity piquing up. Chan and Felix nod. "So, theoretically, I could just..."

Walking over and past the tangle of equipment, I didn't waste another second as I quickly slap him across the face.

"JISUNG WHAT THE HE-" Chan starts to scream, grabbing my arms.
