Frozen Heart
Value of LoveUpon making himself comfortable again with his refreshed state and knowing that everyone else was done showering and changing to their pajamas, Wonshik gathered some midnight snacks for a midnight movie marathon. He reserved the hurt on the maknae's face, on the corner of his mind, once he was neglected by the leader. In thought of trying to ease the youngest's pain, he invited everyone to retreat at the living room. One by one, still full with energy despite a whole day of playing, emerges out of their room and find their most comfortable spot in the living room, except that the most invited person didn't show up.
Sanghyuk chooses the movie he wanted to watch. The four of them has no will to argue or point out why the maknae wanted to watch a disney movie, well, Sanghyuk is still young they thought. And that only added hurt to each of their hearts, the maknae is still young to be hurt like this.
The movie ended and the snacks were almost eaten too. Jaehwan lost the feel of watching another movie anymore. He grab the box of card hidden behind a miniature of one piece and hinted his four brothers that he wanted to play, in the midst of the silent night.
The five of them circled their position facing each other. Jaehwan started distributing uno cards to each of them. When he finally gave them and himself 10 cards, he flipped open the first card on top of the remaining deck of cards lying on the carpeted floor, starting the game.
They played through the span of couple of hours without noticing that they became loud as the game is becoming intense. Loud enough -for the noise of their laughters, battlings over someone cheating and making themselves allied, exchanging cards, putting up a new rule they haven't settled before starting the game to save oneself- to roam across every part of the dorm, but not loud enough to fully escape the dorm.
In the middle of their noises, there will be halt silence when they need to think carefully of what card they should move or turn or throw, and one of those silence they heard a faint click sound indicating a knob was twisted open. They look in unison at the direction of where the sudden noise came from and the five of them have the same looks on their faces almost making themselves quintoplets, at least to say that.
A twisted knob opened a door from one of the rooms and expelled out a Hakyeon with messy hair and restless face, annoyance evident from his expresssion.
“If you all do not want to sleep then let the others!” Hakyeon said with hoarse voice and turned around to go back inside his room when Jaehwan spoke.
“Hakyeon-hyung! C'mon let's play!” Jaehwan invited his hyung to join them quickly.
Hakyeon look at the younger and adjusted his gaze to look at the whole picture of the five members indian sitted formation playing cards before he decided to walk to the door of their dorm without even giving Jaehwan an answer to his invitation.
“Hyung wait!” Jaehwan was about to stand up and stop Hakyeon from leaving but Wonshik grab a hold of Jaehwan's upperarm to halt him. Jaehwan turn to his side and gave ‘what?’ look to Wonshik. The rapper only look straight to Jaehwan's eyes conveying his message without even voicing it. Jaehwan nodded upon understanding what Wonshik wanted to say to him.
“Hyung...where will you go?” Wonshik asked expecting an answer from the leader.
“You don't have to ask.”
Wonshik was left frozen with Hakyeon's coldness.
“We...need to know hyung.” Sanghyuk added.
Hakyeon narrowed his eyes, brows almost met, and an evil grin widens at his lips simultaneously loosening the frown of his brows slightly making his expression soft if without the grin. Hakyeon let out a sarcastic sigh and raised his right brow. “Well...somewhere quiet.” He answered indicating the members where so noisy even not fully saying it out loud in words.
“We-...we're about to end this game anyway...you don't have to go.” Hongbin quickly supplied to give Hakyeon hint that he doesn't really need to leave. “...and its cold outside.” Hongbin finished his sentence with a concern.
“The cold never bothered me anymore...you all had been cold to me since then.”
The answer came to them like hail storm burning their ears, a peak of an ice berg thrown at them piercing their hearts and a swift of blizzard air leaving them frozen.
Hakyeon succeeded on leaving the dorm with no any hindrances from the members.
When they heard the door was click opened and shut closed immediately, they look at each other with knowing looks.
They started putting down the cards and Jaehwan collected them and set aside bringing it back to where it came from.
“Someone needs to follow him...” Taekwoon suggested.
Silence envelopes the dorm stretching it to even longer quietness almost ear-splitting disturbed only by the tick's and tock's of the clock.
They lost track of time for how long it has been too quiet since the dorm was loud and full of laughters just a while ago, but now, the dorm felt like it was Arendelle at all and Elsa was Hakyeon when she (he) left the castle (left the dorm).

A/N:
In relevance to Hakyeon’s condition, he’s totally fine now and he’s so, so much stunning with his yellow shirt tuck in his pants in their airport runway. How could they always make airport as if a red carpet was laid down their way!
