Iris (1/1)

Bang was kneeling in the tall grass. At least he didn't have to walk far to see them. He brought some flowers and left on the graves.  The graveyard was down the hill from Bang Manor's garden, right at the bottom. The leader was kneeling in front of Heechul's new stone, situated next to the Bang family. He glanced at the five graves, feeling his eyes well with tears.  He couldn't stop the tears that rolled down his face; his entire family was right in front of him. Bang clenched his fists on his knees, hate rising in his gut. If he ever saw CSP again he was going to cut his throat of and watch with glee as the blood escaped him. The grass swayed gently in the calming breeze. The sound of footsteps behind him didn't even make him look up. He didn't care what anyone said, not now anyway.  "Yongguk." It was unmistakably Himchan's voice; he sounded sad but also annoyed. "At least come back to the house. It's starting to rain." Bang hadn't even realised that his clothes and hair were already damp.  The leader got to his feet, walking straight past Himchan and back up the hill. The younger frowned and glanced to the graves. Heechul's looked a lot more pretty and smooth, though it was probably because it was new. Himchan bowed to the stone, showing his respect. He walked back up the hill, not even bothering to try and catch up to the elder.  Bang reached the Manor's garden. The flowers were all still alive and colourful, but no one was going to look after them anymore. Heechul always took care of the garden; he took care of everything.  The leader opened the back door and strolled into his house; it had never felt so cold. He walked down the corridor and passed Heechul's old room, though he didn't stop and spare a glance.  The living room was deserted and Bang sat down on the sofa, enjoying the quiet. Himchan came through the back door and found the elder sitting alone in the dark. He decided not to talk to him; give him some space and time.  Bang leaned his head back, resting it on the sofa. His eyes were closed and his body was shaking, though he wouldn't catch a cold. It was boiling in the living room.  Himchan was half way up the second set of stairs, making his way to the small sitting room up there. He opened the door slowly and smiled as all heads turned to him.  "Is he okay?" Daehyun asked in a soft voice, not wanting to sound uncaring.  "He's fine, just sad. He'll be in high spirits soon." Himchan smiled, though it looked more forced than he probably wanted it to. He sat down on the small sofa next to Jongup, leaning his head on the teen's shoulder.  "It's okay Hyung. We're all worried about him." Jongup clarified as he started stroking Himchan's hair gently. The elder closed his eyes and leaned into the touch.  "I hope so... You're probably right though." Himchan convinced himself and just decided to take a light nap on the teen's shoulder.  Daehyun sighed and leaned back in the opposite sofa. Youngjae glanced to him from the side and saw that the elder was worried. Youngjae patted Daehyun's knee and smirked cutely at him. The elder chuckled and wrapped an arm around the younger, pulling him in for a swift kiss.  - Jiyong was sat silently with Zelo; Bang had given them the spare room to share. There were two double beds, one next to the window and one closer to the door. Zelo was next to the window, hugging his kneels to his chest on his bed. His gaze was fixed on the dim grey sky, watching as raindrops fell and patted the window.  Jiyong was sat cross legged on her bed next to the door, watching her son with deep regretful eyes. Zelo knew that she wanted to say something, but he didn't bother to bring it up. If Jiyong wanted to ask, she would have by now so he had nothing to worry about really.  "Junhong?" And there it was. The flood gates open, the questions, the awkwardness, the... Truth.  "Yes, Umma." Zelo still didn't look away from the window. He could see the small church and graveyard, though it looked tiny from up on the hill. He had watched Himchan go down to get the leader, and how it seemed that Bang was just snubbing everyone.  "Was it... Soul Connection who kidnapped you and k-killed your Appa?" Jiyong spoke with a lot more confidence than she thought she would have. Zelo turned to his mother staring straight into her sad, lonely eyes.  "N-no..." He couldn't being himself to lie at the moment in time. He didn't want to tell Jiyong the truth either, then he might get ripped away from this place again.  "Then... who was it?" Jiyong questioned, with a more stricken tone. Zelo just shook his head beiges turning back out the window, watching raindrops snake down the glass. "Do you not know, or do you just not wan to tell me?"  "Why are you asking about this now?" Zelo whispered slightly, he didn't want to talk about this. Not right now; not when he was still grieving for Heechul.  "Heechul-ah said something to me that left me confused." The teen looked to his mother straight away and saw the seriousness in her eyes.  "What?" Zelo questioned with an equally seriously expression.  "He said BAP, and to me that sounds like something like a gang." Jiyong's eyes narrowed and she frowned, "I've had this thought for a while: what is BAP?"  "Th-they are..." Zelo stuttered, his mind running a mile a minute. What the fuck was he suppose to say in response to that question?!  "It all them, isn't it?" Jiyong hit the nail on the head and Zelo had to look away from her. "Are they something like a gang? The fact that they seem to be involved with people who have weapons makes me think twice about them."  "They're not bad people!" The teen shot back instantly. Jiyong sighed and leaned back against the wall.  "Then tell me, how did you come to live them." She kept her tone authoritative and suspicious. Zelo's eyes widened slightly; he had no idea what he was supposed to say.  "I... I was brought... here..." He spoke so quietly it was almost inaudible, but Jiyong heard it clearly.  "Why were you brought here? Where was Seunghyun at this point?" Zelo's eyes widened again once he realised what Jiyong was getting at; she was suspicious of the BAP.  "H-he was... A-Appa was d-de-d..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, he couldn't say it. Jiyong sighed and got up from her bed, walking towards her son's. She wrapped her arms around him as stroked his hair; Zelo had started crying, the memory playing back.  "Junhong... It was them wasn't it?" Jiyong whispered to him in such a calm voice it scared the teen.  "No!" Zelo defended immediately, "it wasn't all of them! They only do what the leader says!" He gripped onto his mother, trying to get her to understand what he was actually saying.  "Leader? Isn't Yongguk the lea-" Jiyong cut herself off and her eyes widened dramatically. Zelo looked to her and saw the betrayal, hurt and revenge burning in her eyes. "Son of a bitch!" She got up front the bed and stormed towards the door.  "Umma no! Wait!" Zelo jumped at her and held her back, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "It's... It's not like that."  "Really?" Jiyong had a sarcastic and sour tone, "and how is it not like that?"  "Appa was the one who got involved... BAP
