Ken walks into the dorm that night with a wide smile and with Leo and Hongbin at his sides. Earlier that day, Leo has insisted to take him out as a compensation for accidently hurting him when he was trying to stop him from his tantrum and Hongbin just tags along with them. They had a good time that evening and Ken was happy. 

However, as he arrives home, he was barely able to take off his shoes before he's charged by Hyuk, who ran up towards him and hugs him tightly without any warning. Not expecting the sudden weight thrown over him, he falls and his back almost hit the floor if it wasn't for Hongbin steadying his back. 

"What are you doing? "Hongbin asks Hyuk who's still clinging onto Ken as Ken is currently too surprised to even utter a word. 

Hyuk refuses to answer the question as he merely tighten his arms around Ken. 

"H-Hyukie? "Ken finally blurts out, struggling a bit against Hyuk's hold, forcing the maknae to loosen his hug but not let go completely. "What are you--"

"Hyung, please. "Hyuk begs, his voice breaking as he stares straight at Ken's face, eyes teary. 

Ken could only stare back at him helplessly, not knowing what it is Hyuk is 'please'ing him about. 

"Please forgive me, hyung. Please... "Hyuk pleads, shaking Ken's body desperately to the point that Leo has to pull him off Ken. 

"Give him some space, okay, Hyuk? "Leo coax once he managed to unlatch the maknae from the still frozen Ken. 

Hyuk obeys as he stops trying to get a hold of Ken but he still doesn't stop giving Ken the helpless, pitiful look. 

After a few moments of silence, Ken finally raise his gaze towards Hyuk. "Hyuk-ah... "He calls out quietly as he slowly stands up. 

"Yes, hyung. "Hyuk answers quickly and is surprised when Ken grabs his hands and guides him towards his bedroom, away from Hongbin and Leo but he doesn't question it. 

Once the two of them has entered the room, Ken gently let go of Hyuk's hand as he closes the door behind them. 

"Do you love me? "Ken blurts out all of sudden, his voice so serious like the question means the world to him. 

"I--"Hyuk was taken aback but he's able to give an answer just as quick. "I love you, hyung. So much . "He admits. "I know I hurt you because of what I said but I did all that because --"

"I love you too, Hyukie. "Ken smiles. "So everything is fine, we're fine. "
