The next day started with neverending rain. He already heard it when he opened his eyes and when he actually did open them, it was just to be greeted by gray coldness and wetness. It was the first day that he didn't even want to get up before the day had even started. But he knew that he better did get up. Because Butterfly had a concert soon and he would have to help them reach the top of their possibilities until then.

Henry sighed but then got up and dressed. His mother was already up as well when he walked out of his room. She looked up when she heard him. "Oh, good morning, Henry!"

"Morning, mom."

"Is everything okay, honey?"

He smiled a little. "Yes, yes. Everything's fine. I just don't feel like getting up already. I rather feel like sleeping until christmas or something. Or until I wake up and realize these past few years have been nothing but a dream."

"Oh, Henry!" His mother got up and approached him, hugged him. Then she guided him into the living room. When they had sat down, she asked, "How do you feel today?"

"Normal, I guess." That wasn't even a lie. Besides the fact that his throat hurt a little, everything was fine. And he was really glad about that.

"Henry, you know, you don't have to hide it when you're in pain. I know you hide a lot from us when it's about your disease." Henry flinched. "But please, you can talk to us openly. Remember, we're your parents. And we are really worried, so please, tell us if you know anything, okay?" Henry swallowed hard but nodded. He hated the fact that he was lying. "Let's change the subject, okay?" This time, Henry nodded eagerly. He didn't want to talk about his cancer! "Did anything new happen with Ryeowook?"

"Well... I called him when I was at Zhou Mi's... but I think that was already on Monday... well, whatever. Ryeowook hadn't come home then already from his work, but Aylee answered the phone and asked me to come over. And I would really love to but..."

While he had been talking, his mother's expression had saddened as well. "I'm sorry, Henry. But you know... we already have problems paying the hospital bills..." But only for two more months, Henry thought and felt tears well up inside him. No, he wouldn't cry! "But I really wish I could give you the chance to fly to Canada once more. You know, I really wish I could."

"I know, mom. That's also what I told Aylee. She said we both should look out for possible solutions until Saturday and then we would talk again."

"I am sorry, Henry. I know you are sad-"

"Mom, it's okay."

"No, it's not."

"Yes, it is. My health is more important right now." His mother looked as if she wanted to talk back again, but Henry cut her off before she could do so. "No, mom. It's okay. I didn't really think I would be able to go over anyways."

Sooyoung sighed. "Tell them Kangin and I said 'hi' when you talk to them the next time, okay?"

Henry nodded and saw the time out of the corner of his eye - "!" he exclaimed and jumped to his feet.

"Henry? What-"

"I'm sorry, mom, I'm already too late for a really important meeting I have to attend in about 20 minutes, I really have to leave right now or I am not going to make it in time!"

"Shall I drive you to the... SM Entertainment building again?"

"It would be really nice if you did that!"

"Then get ready quickly, okay?"

Henry nodded and ran back into the bathroom to rush through his usual routine and then further to his room to grap his violin case, then he walked back, putting on his jacket and shoes. His mother was ready by then as well and drove him to the well known building afterwards. "Thanks, mom." he said and hugged the woman quickly.

"Henry?" He turned around. "Don't be too nervous, okay? You'll be better if you at least try to relax." He nodded and then got out of the car. He was nervous. Nervous as hell! But it couldn't be helped.

Donghae was already waiting for him in the lobby and approached him as soon as he entered. "Follow me," he said and started walking next to him in a fast pace. "Okay, there are a couple of things you have to pay attention to," he started, directing his steps to the stairs. "Don't talk too much about Zhou Mi. Though he allows Eunhyuk and me, he still doesn't like gay people and I guess he'll give you a hard time up there if he makes you talk about Zhou Mi. He will tell you a lot of bad things. Listen to them, but judge them neutrally. Don't defend hyung, he will be sitting next to you and be able to do it himself." He opened the doors to the stairs and both men walked through it. Then Donghae continued, "Don't tell him you have no experience at all when he asks you about the violin thing. You could hear immediately what I heard as well when you watched Butterfly, so you have to be pretty good. You have to tell him some more things, like, how you came to learn playing the violin, where you learned to play the violin, whether you already helped some people if they didn't get the tunes right or not, how you learned to hear mistakes immediately and so on. You should also tell him that you can play melodies from the sheets in an instant and that you play freely, too. He will like that. Also, tell him about your cancer. I'm sure Zhou Mi already did, but the CEO can't be sure, of course. He will have to know as well if we, who are with you the whole time, should know anything special if something happens or any kind of special treatments when you eat. Things you can't eat, for example. Pay attention to his questions and only answer exactly what he asks you. Not more. Did you get it until now?" Henry nodded but was sure that he wouldn't remember it all when it came to it. "If he asks you for your favorite trainee, don't just answer something like 'because it just is like that', 'because he has blonde hair' or 'because he is from America' or anything like tha
