The Reason (1/1)

The jet landed early in the morning. Everyone was pretty much asleep, not even waking up when Shindong landed the plane. The same space was left for the jet and he parked there straight away, glad it was clear.  Shindong turned off the engine, leaning back in his chair and heaving a deep sigh. They were finally back. Back in Korea. He made his way out of the control room, closing the door tightly behind him.  "Wake up everyone! We're home." He shouted and almost as if on cue, everyone woke up groggily.  "Already..?" Himchan asked through a yawn as he looked out the window. Shindong just chuckled, opening the door and letting in he cool air of South Korea compared to the hot air of Ibiza.  "Home." The eldest sighed, he was happy to be back. Some stairs made there way to the jet, so that they could all walk down. Shindong sighed, he could see his minivan in the distance ready to take them all home.  Bang stood up from his chair, more than eager to get off. Though the person he almost ran to the door was Maslo, wanting nothing more than to get off of the plane. Shindong led them all off, thanking the workers for bringing the stairs.  "We're back." Zelo looked up to the clouded sky; it didn't seem like such a nice day. Bang was stood beside him, not really wanting to be separated from the teen again.  "Yeah we are." He smiled and Zelo returned the smile, walking next to the elder after Shindong. The eldest opening the door to the minivan, gesturing for everyone to get in. Bang sat beside Zelo again, feeling the need to just be near him. Himchan dragged Jongup to the seat next to him, wanting to rest on him as they drove back. Daehyun and Youngjae obviously sat together again. So did the girls, and Taemin and Maslo just sat with each other without complaint.  Shindong drove away from the jet and the airport. Bang watched the plane get smaller from the window, it all seemed so fast. So unreal. Zelo noticed the elder just staring blankly; he rested his head on Bang's shoulder again, making him jump slightly.  "I'm nervous." Zelo spoke softly, mostly so only Bang could hear it. The leader listened to the teen, wanting him to keep talking. "What if Umma doesn't accept us..?"  "I'm sure she will." Bang wrapped his arm around the younger. Zelo nuzzled closer to the elder, feeling his nervousness grow. It's not like Yesung's mansion was far from the airport, so it wouldn't take long to get back home.  "What if she doesn't?" Zelo almost whimpered, gripping into the leader's shirt with both hands. Bang's eyes widened slightly, he didn't expect the teen to cling to him so desperately. "I don't want to leave you ever again... I'll run away if she doesn't..."  "Don't think like that." Bang stroked the teen's hair soothingly, trying to relax him a little. "She's your Umma, of course she wants you to be happy. If you will be happy with me, then I'm sure she'll approve." Zelo smiled, nuzzling into the elder again, holding onto his words.  "I will be happy with you..." He closed his eyes and relaxed into the leader's warmth. Bang's cheeks turned a pale pink colour; he held the teen tighter, directing his gaze back out of the window.  Shindong seemed eager to get home, definitely not going the long way. Yesung's manor came into view, Jongup being the first to notice it. He informed everyone else and they all looked out of the windows. They could even see figures stood outside.  "How did they know we were coming back today?" Youngjae asked, recognising who it was outside.  "I called Yesung." Shindong stated, pulling up to the manor. The eldest got out the van first not really expecting the double hug that he was me with. Yesing and Siwon both hugged him, asking how it was and why he hadn't gotten a tan.  The rest of them climbed out, Taemin immediately being crushed by Key. The other three SHIN members joined, squeezing their Maknae. "Taeminnie! You're actually okay!" Key exclaimed, hugging in the younger tighter.  "Of course I'm okay, Hyung." Tamein chuckled, feeling like he was home. Onew pulled the teen away from Key, crushing him in another hug. Taemin chuckled and hugged his leader back, missing his hugs. Jonghyun and Minho hugged him together, crushing him from the sides. "Hyungs stop it! You're smothering me!" Taemin yelled out in pretend annoyance. The SHIN members ignored him and group hugged him again.  "Bom!" Minzy cheered delightfully as she ran over to her friend. CL was right behind her, and they both grabbed on Bom tightly, nearly knocking her over.  "I missed you guys." Bom smiled, hugging her girls back. "I hope you didn't do anything... bad." She glanced to CL making the younger chuckled.  "We've been angels, Bom. Especially me." CL answered putting her hands together in a prayer type fashion. Bom just laughed and brought her girls into another hug.  The moment Zelo stepped out of the van he was pulled into a bone crushing hug. Jiyong was crying, holding the teen tightly. "I was so worried!" She complained, refusing to let go of her son.  "I missed you, Umma." Zelo hugged back, letting his mother cry on him. Jiyong tightened her grip in the teen, almost winding him completely. Zelo chuckled hugging back just as hard.  BAP were all stood in the background. They didn't really have anyone to welcome them home, after all they all went. Maslo stood behind them, feeling more awkward than ever. He didn't belong here; there was no way he'd ever fit in.  "Shall we all go inside?" Siwon suggested, no one disagreeing. They all made their way into the manor, walking towards the large living room.  The room broke out into crazy conversation; questions been flown everywhere. Leeteuk, Kangin, Hyukjae and Donghae were all in the room too, mostly asking the BAP members. Bang didn't really talk to anyone though, he just sat beside Maslo. The elder released a sigh, not really finding anything now happening intriguing.  "You alright?" Bang asked, leaning back in the sofa him and the elder were sharing. Maslo glanced to him and nodded, watching everyone else interact. "Look, I'm sorry," Bang started, leaning back forwards so that his elbows were resting on his knees. "I know that you're pretty broken about happened, but it had to be done." "I knew that this would happen. I just had a feeling, you're always the lucky one." Maslo's eyes became downcast.  "Lucky?" The younger questioned not really knowing what Maslo was talking about. The elder looked to him, reading he obvious confusion in Bang's eyes.  "You have Junhong." Maslo looked over to the teen, who was still being bombarder with questions from his mother. "You also have BAP and you have a lot of people here, who were all willing to help you." He sighed, looking back down to his feet. "I don't have anyone anymore. Soul Connection is destroyed, and now I have nowhere to go."  "You'll find something. You're capable of doing a lot more than you think." Bang smiled, thumping the elder on the back. Like a friendly gesture. Maslo smiled, at least the younger was trying to be supportive.  The conversations didn't tone down for two hours. Everyone wanted to know the details of what happened, and obviously Jiyong didn't look to impressed when she ears that Bang had killed someone with his bare hands, information carelessly spilled out by Jongup as he told Hyukjae.  Bang reached into his pocket, pulling out the USB that was once imbedded in his arm. Zelo's eyes were fixed on it, wondering what the elder was going to do. Like a chain reaction, everyone slowly turned to look at the BAP leader, wondering what he was planning to do with the USB.  "Yesung, pass a gun." Bang held out his hand, waiting patiently for a weapon. Yesung pulled a 9mm from under the sofa, passing it to the younger. Bang took it and walked over to the sliding glass window, opening it casually. Zelo got up from his seat next to his mother, curious as to what the elder was doing.  "Yongguk, what are you doing?" Zelo asked, standing outside with the elder. Bang smiled and ruffled the teen's hair, making him blush lightly.  "I'm destroying this thing." He held out the USB, and the teen just looked at it stupidly. Everyone else inside had gathered around the windows, wanting to watch the BAP leader. Bang smirked as he cocked the gun, closing his eyes and just listening to the wind.  Zelo turned back around to look at everyone else. "If it's what you want," Bang spoke, his tone completely serious, "this will be the last time I hold a gun." Zelo's eyes widened, was Bang really suggesting what he thought he was.  "What are you saying?" The teen asked, unsure of his assumptions. Bang smiled at the younger, leaning in an capturing his lips softly. Zelo's thoughts disappeared as his eyes fluttered closed, kissing the elder back. Bang wrapped an arm around the younger's waist, pulling his closer so that their kiss could deepen.  Zelo let the elder in, opening his mouth so that the invasion was welcomed. Bang let his tongue explore every inch of the teen's mouth, pulling a small mewl from him. Zelo was kissing back just as desperately, finally realising what the leader meant.  Bang pulled away from the kiss, looking back to the USB. With
