It's 3pm, and Luan finally wakes up, he opens his eyes and sees Derick sitting in the chair reading a book, and he realizes that he's lying on the bed in the infirmary, Derick notices that he's already awake and speaks:

"It's about time, the sleeping beauty has woken up!"

Luan is then surprised:

"How did I end up here, Derick?"

"Like every other time Luan, the infirmary is one of the places you frequent the most!"

Derick asks the school nurse to check how Luan is, she checks his temperature again, he's fine, his fever is down by the hour, she asks him to wait and eat something, the nutritionist Jully (Derick's mother), is arriving with a light diet. Jully arrives with a tray of toast, butter and acerola juice and says:

"Hello kids! I've brought a light diet for Luan, he has to eat everything before he goes home, and when he gets home, eat properly."

"Eat everything and you'll go straight home, understand?! Grandpa's driver will take you home, it's still raining today!"

Luan obeys and thanks his aunt, Derick just nods, because he's writing the summary of the book while he waits for Luan to eat, Luan then asks if the summary refers to Grandpa Han's book, and then complains:

-Wow, have you read the book yet? I found it so boring! I didn't understand why Grandpa chose a poem book. Then Derick stops writing, looks at him and asks:

"Poem? Did you get the right book, Luan? "

Luan is doubtful, and asks Derick to look in his backpack, then he takes the book and says:

"Luan, it's not that book!"

Luan rolls his eyes, he looks at the two books, one is Tale of the Marquises, and the other is Tale of the Marys, then Luan says:

"Oups, I got the story mixed up!"

Mary then enters the infirmary, listens to the conversation and says:

"Ah, it's a good poetry book Luan!"

They laugh at Luan, he finishes eating and starts to get ready to leave, Luan thanks Mary and apologizes.

"All right Luan, but are you going to be able to perform today?"

(Luan's eyes widen again, yes he has totally lost track of time this week, (and yes it is already Friday!)

Derick notices Luan's desperation and reassures Mary:

"Well, we've only rehearsed once this week, today Theo and Kenji rehearsed on their own, don't worry, just improvise and play as usual."

At Derick's request, Mary doesn't tell him that the performance is for the Headmaster's Appointment Party and that the party and performance will be at Luke's house, because they wanted Luan to rehearse without any worries, and not give up if he found out.

Luke is on his way to the nurse's, but he sees the boys leaving, so he tries to catch up with them, but he sees Grandpa Han's driver waiting at the front door, so he sees that he's going to take them, and he thinks:

"Crap, I wasn't going to this party, but now I am, and apparently we're going to the same place, son, I'm going to get ready and I'll see you at the party! "

The boys are taken home, and when they arrive Derick hands them a folder with a summary of the book.

"Take it, turn it around to summarize it your way, take the book and have a look too, you're good at writing so try Grandpa Han's luck not to find out."

Luan's eyes sparkle, he thanks him, and so everyone goes home, takes a shower and gets ready, Luan sees his cat waiting for him at the window, he goes into the house and cuddles him, he sees his mother in the living room, and is happy that she's arrived early today, then his mother sees him and says:

"Hey son! What happened this time? Go and have a bath, the school said you had a fever so I bought some medicine, I made some chicken soup, it's very good to drink this soup when you have a cold!"

"I'm fine Mom, I just have a cold, ok I'll take a shower first."

So they eat the soup and Luan takes his medicine, Mr. Fluffly has come to eat his ration too, meanwhile Ana washes the dishes, Luan tidies up his keyboard and his things for the presentation, while he checks Mary's message with the address, he gets distracted for a moment looking at the screenshots of the blog post, when suddenly Ana sees the photo:

"What the hell is that picture?"

Luan then gets scared, but tries to explain without Ana getting too nervous, he says that he's going to perform at such and such an address, Ana then recognizes the address, and looks at it

Adult Epilogue:

Luke sees them from the upstairs balcony, then Justin walks up to him and asks?

"Hey, any progress with the kid?"

Luke replies dejectedly:

"None, every time I try to get close to him, something happens!"

Justin pats him on the back and says:

"I've already told you to give it time, but you have to win him back, but not with material things, like the piano you put in the living room!"

"But he liked it, I saw his smile, he really liked it!"

"Well, you like to show off, don't you?"

"What? I just have good taste!"

Justin then said:

"Well, try to get to the boy before the official presentation, so as not to scare him!"

"I'll try."

Then Justin pulls him by the arm and says:

"So let's try it now!"

Justin pushes him out until they reach the gazebo. Then they see the boy, and Justin keeps pulling Luke by the arm and says:

"Hello kids! We've come to see if you need anything?"

The boys stare at the two of them arm in arm, then Justin puts his hand on Luke's shoulder and says:

"This is Luke's house, so you can ask him for anything you need!"

Luan then looks up and greets them, a little awkwardly:

"Hm, thanks... I just found out about this a few hours ago, because nobody tells me anything these days!"

The boys disguise themselves, pretending that Luna isn't talking to them,

Derick then says:

"Hello Uncle Luke, beautiful house, they love it!"

The boys agree.

Justin then asks:

"Did you like the piano Luan? "

Luan Luan replies a little awkwardly:

"Oh yes, it's beautiful!"

Justin then continues:

"Your father bought it especially for you! Isn't that right, Luke?"

Luan is surprised and even more embarrassed:

"For me?"

Luke confirms, and the boys aren't surprised because they already know that Luke is Luan's father, so Justin continues:

"If you could play it for us today, we'd be very happy, Luan!"

Luan still doesn't like it, but replies:

"Ok, no problem, anytime you want, just let me know."

Justin then thanks him:

"Thank you dear nephew! Now let's not get in the way, okay? Call us if you need anything!"

Justin then hugs Luke and walks off:

"See, Luke? That's how you do it!"

"I know how you do it Justin, only... "

Justin cuts him off:

"I know, but someone has to take the first step, and you're the father here, so you have to take the first step, he's not going to get to you, it's up to you to break the ice between you, you've always been cunning and good at winning people over, he's a great kid, so go for it!". I'm Team Luke!"
