The first thing Leo sees when he returns home after his schedule along with Ken that night is N and Hyuk. N is slumped against Hyuk, his eyes closed and arms hanging limply over Hyuk's back. 

That sight, somehow, triggers something in Leo's mind, causing him to think of the worst possibility. 

'Did the maknae hurt Hakyeon again? '

Without even taking a second to think straight, Leo storms over to them and forcefully separate N from Hyuk. 

"What did you do this time?! "he yells once N is safely in his hold. N however, didn't twitch even with Leo's loud voice or the fact that he himself was wrenched away from Hyuk without any gentleness. It seems like he has either passed out or is too deep in sleep. 

Hyuk could only stare at Leo in surprise, tears still present in his eyes. He didn't even noticed that the main vocalist has return home as he was drowned in regret and guilt. 

"You never learn your lesson, do you?! "Leo continues yelling. "You hurt our feelings, you hurt Hakyeon physically, you even cause Hakyeon to be enraged and now this?!  Just what do you want?! "

"T-this? "Hyuk whispers in confusion before turning his attention towards the leader who's secured in Leo's hold  only to realise that the leader is somewhat unconscious. 

'Unconscious? Since when? '

"I-I didn't do anything. H-Hakyeon hyung was... hugging me. "Hyuk chokes out, looking away from the elder. 

Leo huffs in disbelief. "Hugging you? Yeah sure, in your dream. Why would he hug a brat li--"

"Stop, hyung. "Ken interrupts, causing Leo to look at him. "You should... take Hakyeon-hyung to his room. "he suggests. 

Leo glance at N and sigh before giving Hyuk a glare and walking away to get the leader into his room. 

Leo had just place N into the bed and is now pulling a blanket to cover him when the leader open his eyes. 

"Hakyeon? "He calls out tentatively, wondering if N is still in his foul mood. 

"Taekwoon. What... happened? "N asks. 

That soft voice and tone, Leo noted.  Yes, N is no longer in that foul mood. 

"Hyuk happened. Just what else did that brat do to you this time? "Leo grumbles as he fix the blanket to cover N's body properly. 

"Hyuk? "N repeats. His mind is still a bit fuzzy so it takes some time for him to recall about what happened. He remembers it having something to do with Hyuk, though. He just doesn't know the exact thing. 

"Yes. Now go back to sleep. You look horrible. "Leo comments. 

N would want to go back to sleep, really. But he feels like there's still something important that he needs to settle with Hyuk. "Can you get... Hyuk for me? "

"No. I'm not calling him for you. Who knows what else he will do? "

N sighs deeply, feeling bitter about Leo's refusal. "Did you scold him? "

"I don't want to talk about it. "Leo says. "Close your eyes. "

N is so tired he found himself not objecting and actually listening to Leo's order. He let out a yawn and let his eyes slip close once again. 

"Goodnight, Hakyeon. "

'Guess whatever the thing that has to do with Hyuk needs to wait because I'm too tired for anything right now. '
