He heard the close yet far yells of his other half as his eyes fluttered opened. Everything was swirling and hazy.

"Minseok~! Stay with me."

"J-Jongdae?"

Chen nodded quickly as he took Minseok's head into his lap bringing the weaker's outstretched hand up to his wet cheek as he cried. Minseok smiled before closing his eyes and going unconcious once more.

Chanyeol sat up alarmed at Chen's screams which travelled across the palace. Baekhyun opened his eyes slowly puzzled at Chanyeol's behaviour. He looked down in shame at his body remembering how he had given himself over to the taller not so long ago.

"D-do you regret it?"

Chanyeol turned his head to Baekhyun at the shorter's voice his eyebrows drawn together in both worry and confusion. A bit of clarity lightened the expression before he leaned over and kissed Baekhyun softly on his lips.

"No, it's just-"

Baekhyun sat up slowly bunching the sheets and holding them to his chest as he looked towards Chanyeol.
