Chapter 25

N took Leo into one of the tents, where thankfully the sleeping bags were already laid. “Can you stand up on your own?" At Leo’s nod N continued “Okay so first thing’s first, strip.” Leo spluttered on his own spit, “WHAT?! No!” He throat hurt to speak in louder than his normal volume. N was turned around looking for Leo’s bag. “Well you want to get out of those don’t you?” N pointed at Leo’s sad excuse of clothes. “Where is your bag?!” N huffed not caring that Leo was looking at him like he had grown ten heads. “There…the black one…I can get myself out of these...so just-wait outside” N got the bag and pulled out a pair of comfy sleeping clothes and a towel. What Leo didn’t know what that N was in his Mother-mode, where he didn’t care about anything else other than the well-being of his target which was Leo right now. “Can you…? Okay then. But I’m gonna stand just outside and if you feel dizzy or something happens, just shout like you did back in the forest..” Leo was sure N was teasing him with the sassy smile painted on his face, he glared at him before snatching the clothes from him. “Wait.Out.” 

After the changing was done, without any major incidents, N went back inside and this time he had a thermos, a bottle of water, medicine and bandages. “Here it’s some soup Jungshinnie heated up, after this take some medicine and then I’ll apply the ointment.” N kept all the things and helped Leo down on the sleeping bag so his back was supported on the pillows in a half sitting position. Leo took the thermos and drank the soup. He made a face because it was those canned chicken noodle ones and he absolutely hated it. N saw the expression and snorted, “Such a child Taekwoonie~ Palli finish it up.” Leo’s expression shifted into a pout and N shamelessly cooed. After giving Leo the medicine and redoing the bandage, N helped Leo lay fully down and got a damp towel and started to wipe Leo’s warm forehead and neck with it. “It’s fine now N. Leave it.” Leo tried moving his face away but N held him still. “Aish look at you…walking out in a strange place, getting sick and sassing like the world owes you something…Keep quiet and bear with it, we still have to enjoy the camping and you need to be perfectly well for that.” Even though N’s tone was scolding it made Leo smile, he was secretly enjoying the attention. When was the last time someone was so worried about him, taking care of him like this? Right now, Leo thought he could just let go of everything and bask in the care N was giving him so he settled back, his hand found N’s free one and he entwined their fingers together. N stopped wiping and looked into Leo’s eyes. They were closed. There was gentleness in his face, and N hadn't seen anything more beautiful before. “Thank you N. Thank you for coming for me and taking care of me even though you didn’t have to….thank you….” The last thank you was whispered as his breath became even indicating that he had fallen asleep, leaving N to stare at his sharp but calm features. He stared for a long time, thinking about everything that had happened in these past few months. Meeting with Leo had been a turning point. Though rough and unpleasant it was, N found he couldn’t feel the hate or anger he was supposed to feel. Rather he smiled, remembering the stupid bickers, ignorance of each other, working together in Leo’s office. Jung Leo's many personas....they were memories and N knew he would treasure them forever. He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips to Leo’s slightly warm forehead, hand still entwined with Leo’s.

Hongbin was going through the pics he had taken from his camera, Ravi was snoring loudly beside him with Ken cuddled up with him. He was so deeply engrossed in his pictures that he didn’t even notice when Hyuk came to sit beside him and leaned in to see the pics. “That’s a nice one.” Hongbin jumped, a squeak almost leaving his lips. Almost. “God you scared me…” Hyuk chuckled, the sound low due to their two sleeping friends. It sent a shiver down Hongbin’s spine. He realized just how close Hyuk was, in the dark with only the light from the camera illuminating the space enough so that he could see Hyuk. Hongbin noticed something was off…Hyuk was a little…hesitant? Like he had something to say…. “What is it? Can’t sleep?” Hyuk looked up; doe eyes met Hyuk’s own slightly squinted ones. “Umm yea…I guess…” there was still a tension between them because of what happened in the park so Hongbin didn’t know how much he was supposed to pry, so he just kept quiet. Hyuk seemed to be thinking before he finally sighed and spoke up, 
“I’m sorry Hongbin hyung…” Now that was surprising. Hyuk was apologizing…but for what? “Sorry? For what Hyukkie?” Now it was Hyuk who was surprised, Hongbin actually called him ‘Hyukkie’. He almost smiled before watching himself and explaining, “You know…at the park, you were obviously trying to be nice while i was being a jerk. I was rude to you. I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry…” Hongbin smiled wide now, his dimples visible even in the dark. “That’s no problem. I understand besides I was being nosy. I’m sorry too…” Hyuk smiled now too. “I guess we are fine then?” “Huh?” “I mean I can go back to flirt with you and you won’t mind right?” Hyuk grinned in that childish way that made Hongbin’s heart race crazily. He rolled his eyes, “You’re never stopping are you?”  “Not a chance…..so…..Hyukkie huh? I guess that’s some development. Next will be baby or....jagi? What do you think?” Hyuk winked making
