The sound of hushed voices was the first thing that he heard. They were speaking softly, at least two, with concern and wonder in their tones.  "I hope he wakes up soon..." That was definitely Jongup's voice, it had to be.  "He probably will, the doctor stead that twelve days was probably the most." Taemin, defiantly Taemin. He felt confused for a split second; twelve days, what were they talking about.  "W-what do you mean..?" Zelo's opened his eyes slowly and both of the elder teen's eyes widened in shock.  "Junhong!" Jongup wrapped his arms around the younger, Taemin at the othe raise doing the same. Zelo smiled until a jolt of pain shot through him.  "Ow!" He gasped and wiggled slightly. The two elders let go and apologised repeatedly. "It's okay... What... what happened?"  "You got shot remember," Taemin started, his eyes soft but his voice quivering. "We thought you were gonna be really bad."  "But you fell into a coma." Jongup inputted, seeing as Tamein was starting to feel emotional. Zelo's eyes widened as his head sank back into the pillow.  "C-coma..?" He stuttered out. Jongup nodded and Zelo felt his heart thud in shock.  "The doctor said the most you'd be asleep would be twelve days, bit you've only been asleep for eight." Taemin smiled, patting the younger's head. Zelo sat up abruptly and he cringed and gasped in pain.  "Hey! Take it easy, okay?" Jongup laid the younger teen back down, making sure that he was comfortable.  "E-eight days..." Zelo repeated to himself as he stared at the ceiling. How could he have possibly been asleep for eight days. Jongup nodded, noticing the younger talking to himself. Zelo closed his eye again; it didn't feel like he's been asleep or just unconscious for eight days. It only felt like he'd been asleep for one night, seeing as no one really looked more healed.  From what Zelo could tell, only a few of the lighter bruises had cleared up. There was obvious no more blood and Jongup even had stitches on his head, just above his left eyebrow. Taemin looked normal, due to the fact he hadn't really fought against anyone.  "Are you okay?" Zelo reached out a touched Jongup's head lightly, his hand feeling a little numb. The elder nodded and place Zelo's hand back down on the bed.  "You need to rest, your wound had probably healed a lot, but not completely." He stood up and dusted off his sweats. "I'll go tell Himchan you're okay, Taemkn-Hyung can you get Junhong some good?"  "Sure." Tamein stood up, smiling down at the younger one last time before walking towards the door.  "Rest." Jongup demanded and Zelo's nodded, watching both of them leave, closing the door quietly. Zelo leaned back on his pillow again; he recognised the room, it was his from the hotel. He let his eyes lower again, closing them and thinking back to the events that had taken place.  The door slammed open at once and Zelo nearly jumped out of his skin. Bang was roof in the door way, looking like a crazy wave of exhaustion and relief had engulfed him.  "Junhong..." He sighed and leaned against the door. Zelo's eyes widened and he hiked the duvet over his face, just below his eyes, covering his nose and mouth. Bang gave him a confused look, but Zelo saw something else; he could still see the hate in Bang's eyes, the aggression, the evilness.  Zelo was shivering, for the first time since their were reunited, he felt scared of the elder. Bang had thoughtlessly killed a man with his bare hands and then thrown him off of a building. The thought that Bang could do something like without remote or sorrow was scary in itself.  Bang took a step into the room, closing the door behind him. Zelo flinched and it was poorly hidden from the elder. Bang frowned a little and rounded the bed until he was sat near the younger's hip. Without thinking, Zelo scooted away from the elder, but it was hardly noticeable.  The room was bathed in silence, a rather uncomfortable one on Zelo's part. "I'm sorry," Bang spoke again, his voice low and rough. The teen shuddered slightly, he just felt scared. "What were you thinking, taking a bullet for me?"  "I... I've seen you hurt... s-so many times." Zelo could still feel his will to protect and love the elder; it easily outweighed his fear, but it didn't erase it. Bang glanced to the teen, his eyes still far from being soft.  "Junhong." He sighed the teen's name as he manoeuvred. Zelo's eyes widened when he finally noticed that Bang had stripped the duvet off his body and was now on all fours on top of him.  Bang looked down to the teen's side, seeing the stitches there. He traced his fingers over it and Zelo gasped in pain. Bang didn't retract his hand, keeping his fingers skimming over the younger's wound. Zelo closed his eyes again, biting into his lip to stop crying out in pain as the leader added more pressure.  "S-stop it... It h-hurts..." Zelo whimpered and the elder stopped all movement. Bang just stared down to the teen, watching as his face calmed.  "Do you have any idea what I actually felt when you dove in front of me?" His voice turned rusty again, "I thought my heart was gonna stop completely, and when I got back to the hotel Himchan forbid me to see you."  "W-why?" Zelo could see that the leader was still angered. Bang leaned down and rested his forehead on the teen's, taking in a deep breath to calm himself.  "He said that you needed rest and I wasn't in the right... condition, to see you." Bang sat back up again, his eyes becoming harder instead of soft. "No one even talked to me when I got back, not even CL. They only started talking to me the the day, and that was just because I was sat outside the door."  "Y-you sat outside..?" Zelo's heart thumped loudly in his chest. Bang has sat outside the door all the time he'd been in a coma; he was now extremely curious about what the elder had been thinking or doing for the past eight days.  "Apparently, I was too angry and not in the right frame of mind to even be in the same room with you." Bang growled slightly at the memory; Himchan had forcefully quicker him out if the room, not letting him enter even once. Zelo just watched closely as the elder's face reflected the anger he was feeling inside.  "W-where is everyone else? I saw Jongup and Taemin just now but..." He tried to change the subject beige Bang's mind got the best of him. The elder snapped out of it and looked back down to the teen again.  "They were all downstairs having food the last I saw them," Bang smiled a little and Zelo felt more reassured. He didn't want the man he first met back, no he never wanted him back. All he wanted now, was the Bang that he'd grown to love.  "So, they're all okay?" Zelo smiled back with crescent eyes, making Bang chuckled softly.  "I'm guessing, the only one that won't say anything is Jungmin." Bang's eyes directed towards the window, watching the sun seep in delicately through the curtains.  "Jungmin? W-why is he okay?" Zelo shifted slightly, trying to push himself up to the sitting position but the attempt was futile.  "No idea," Bang shrugged, not really sounding all that bothered. "I told ten all about how PM jumped off the bridge and I didn't see him, I even did the responsible thing and passed on his final apology. I didn't fucking expect him to get all bitchy over it." He growled just thinking back to it. He had passed the message onto Malso and them the elder started blaming him for acting 'crazy', stealing away two people's lives or whatever.  Zelo could see the leader getting annoyed and angered again. He could tell by the way that his eyes narrowed and he growled lowly to himself as he tensed. Zelo shivered involuntary again.  "Stupid shit!" Bang gritted out as he kept his eyes on the window. "He should have fucking thanked me for saving him! Ungrateful bastard!" He clenched his fist in the sheets right next to Zelo's sides. No doubt about it, Bang was getting unbelievable pissed off again, just at his own memory.  Zelo couldn't really do anything, but if he didn't distract the elder then he was gonna be caught in the middle of his self-rampage. Bang was endlessly growling to himself, letting all sense of reality tip away from him. Zelo couldn't take it anymore, he didn't want to do it but... smack... Bang's head whipped to the side as the teen slapped his hard across the face. The leader blinked stupidly a few times, letting the dull sting of pain sudden sink in. Zelo's bottom lip quivered at the realisation at what he had just done. The elder didn't say a word and just brought a hand to his cheek, feeling the warmth radiating from his face.  "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, you were..." Zelo apologised frantically. Bang didn't even move, he just continued blinking. "I didn't mean to... I-I was s-scared..."  "What?" Bang snapped back into reality and glanced down at the teen; his eyes were still hard and it made Zelo quiet again. Bang waited patiently for the teen to answer, but Zelo felt to scared to even open his mouth. "Junhong, please talk to me..." The elder's voice became soft, "How... how did I scare you?"  "I..." Zelo sniffled, he could feel tears trying to break free from his eyes. "I don't want him back!" He pretty much screamed before covering his face with his arms. "I don't... he scares me..." Bang felt a little lost with what the teen was trying to say, until PM's words swirled in his mind: You'll understand if you think back to the first time you met Zelo.  Bang finally realised what Zelo was trying to say. "I'm sorry, Junhong." He wrapped his arms gently around the teen and hugged him. Zelo shivered in his arms still but the elder didn't let go, he needed to hold him. "I didn't mean to scare you... again. I love you, I won't do anything to hurt you."  "Yongguk..." Zelo nuzzled into the leader's neck, letting his tears fall into Bang's skin.  "Let me show you how much I love you, Junhong." Bang's voice sounded more husky as he kissed the teen's neck and sucked the sk
