Key stood outside the building marked Wan's Self-Medication Centre, checking the address against the one Rain had sent him before stepping inside.
The centre was bustling with at least twenty people. Key took a deep breath and claimed an empty spot. Soon, the trainer entered, smiling warmly at everyone.
"Welcome to the meditation centre! Here, we'll help you manage anger, ease your uneasiness, and relax both your mind and body. Everyone ready?" the male trainer asked.
"Excuse me!" Key raised his hand with a serious expression.
"Oh! A new member! Yes, friend?" the trainer replied warmly.
"Will my money be refunded if any mishap happens?" Key asked curiously. The room chuckled at his question, and the trainer paused, surprised.
"Well, if you decide to quit, we won't refund. But if anything happens on our side, then yes," he finally answered.
Key sighed in relief and gave a thumbs-up. Behind him, a guy chuckled and stared at him curiously.

Lunch Break:
Felix rested on the rooftop when someone suddenly opened the door. He squinted in curiosity as the boy walked toward the railing.
Felix frowned as he saw the boy climbing onto the railing, spreading his arms wide. He quickly turned away and whispered, "I didn't see him dying…"
The boy stood on the railing, eyes closed, smiling softly as he took a deep breath.
"Oh my goodness! What the hell are you doing?!"
Startled by the sudden voice, the boy tried to turn, lost his balance, and began to fall. He didn't scream—just closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.
Suddenly, he felt something strange. Opening his eyes, he realized he was being held by a handsome man with large, beautiful white wings on his back.
The boy's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the masked stranger. What stunned him most were the delicate, enveloping wings that surrounded them both.

Sun came to the rooftop in search of Felix, certain that the angel had skipped class and was probably napping somewhere in a corner.
As soon as he opened the rooftop door, his eyes landed on a boy standing on the railing. Sun recognized him from class.
"Oh my goodness! What the hell are you doing?!" Sun shouted in panic.
Kiet turned at the sound, but suddenly missed a step and started falling backward. Sun covered his eyes in fear, while Felix—who had been pretending to sleep—sprang into action.
Kiet was out of reach, so Felix spread his wings and flew toward him without worrying about revealing his identity. He caught the boy tightly, the feathers wrapping around them protectively.
Being an angel, Felix couldn't let anyone die in his presence. But as soon as he touched Kiet's hand, he froze.
Kiet's hand was cold—cold as if he were already dead. Shock and fear ran through Felix for a moment. He could always sense if someone was about to die, and right now, Kiet wasn't supposed to be saved.
Kiet hadn't opened his eyes yet, but Felix studied him carefully. The boy showed no fear or regret, resigned to his fate—a thought that made Felix even more anxious.
Eventually, Kiet opened his eyes, stunned to find Felix holding him. He looked around and noticed they were surrounded by feathers. Confused, he stared back at Felix, but the mask hid Felix's expression.
Felix quickly flew them back to the rooftop and gently placed Kiet on the ground. Sun rushed over to check on him. Kiet was still staring at Felix in shock as the wings folded and vanished before his eyes.
"My job here is done. I'm heading back to class. See you later, Sun!" Felix said, ready to leave, but Kiet grabbed his hand.
"Who… who are you?" Kiet asked, trying to process everything in a matter of minutes.
Felix looked at Kiet's hand holding his before gently pushing it away.
"Y-you had wings! I just saw them!" Kiet exclaimed, reaching to touch Felix's shoulder, but Felix quickly stepped back.
"Sun, he's hallucinating. Take him to the doctor," Felix instructed. Sun nodded, speechless.
"You saw it too, right?! Those beautiful, white wings!" Kiet gaped at Sun.
Sun glanced nervously between Kiet and Felix. "Ah… maybe you imagined it. Our Felix isn't an angel or anything like that… I mean, maybe being so close to death messed with your head. Come on, let me take you to the infirmary!" Sun helped Kiet up, though Kiet couldn't stop staring at Felix.

At the meditation centre:
"Alright everyone! We'll start with swing backs!" the instructor announced. Key nodded eagerly and followed along.
After a few seconds, Key frowned. "Excuse me! Can we change the exercise?" he asked, raising a hand.
"What's the problem, sir?" the instructor asked politely.
Key glanced around nervously. "It's… the position. The thing… between my legs is getting pressed painfully. How do I explain?"
The trainer, seeing everyone uncomfortable, quickly replied, "Alright! You can skip this exercise!"
"Thank you!" Key shouted, sitting down with a wide grin as others continued exercising.
Ten minutes later, Key raised his hand again. The instructor, now irritated, asked, "What now, sir?"
Key stood, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. "I need a break. Something seems off!"
The instructor glanced at him suspiciously. "Is your jewel made of glass or something? How do you always have a problem?"
"Oi! Where the hell are you looking?! I said water break!" Key snapped, covering himself.
"Fine! Everyone take five!" the instructor shouted, storming off. Key flopped onto the floor, pouting. "So irritating… I'm sure Rain did this on purpose!"
Later, the instructor started the class again. Key immediately raised his hand.
"WHAT now?!" the instructor shouted, grinding his teeth.
Key pointed out awkwardly, "Your zip is open. It's showing your yellow underwear."
Everyone turned to look. The instructor's face turned bright red with embarrassment and anger as he zipped up, shooting Key an annoyed glare.
"He's a weird guy," Key muttered to himself.

Rain was waiting inside a wedding company with his manager, Vine. They were supposed to meet the owner about a commercial photoshoot.
"Did you inform them about our meeting?" Rain asked, growing irritated after twenty minutes of waiting.
"Ah, let me call… I did tell them we'd come by 12," Vine replied. Just then, a man came running toward them.
"Excuse me! I'm late because—" The man froze at the sight of Rain.
"I'm Jun, nice to meet you," the man said, sneaking glances at Rain.
"First impressions are important, Mr. Jun…" Rain said coldly. Vine gave Jun an embarrassed smile.
Jun nodded awkwardly and led them in. Rain looked around with satisfaction. Vine leaned in and whispered, "Don't mind Rain, he doesn't like waiting," with a warm smile.
"I was at fault. I hope Mr. Rain won't have a bad impression," Jun whispered apologetically.
"Ah, definitely not! He's actually really sweet…" Vine began.
"Are you done gossiping? I can hear you!" Rain snapped, glaring sharply. Vine smiled guiltily; Jun didn't dare speak. Rain rolled his eyes, continuing to examine the company.
