   As he stirred around, a familiar warmth engulfed him.

   It was welcoming and soft, and protected him from the cold air that filled the room. He couldn’t help but bury his face deeper into the sheets as sleep befell on him once again.

   But as the seconds passed and as he slowly recalled yesterday’s events, his eyes immediately shot open.

   He sat up in a state of panic and looked around the room only to be met with a window and white colored walls. Sun rays peeked through the opened blinds, these being the only light that illuminated the room, and the sound of a melodious trumpet came from the phone that sat on the desk right next to his bed.

   At this, he shifted around on the bed to try and stand up. But as he was about to do so, the weight right next to him stopped Jeonghan in his tracks. Confused, he looked down and narrowed his eyes as he met a lump of blanket that stretched all the way towards a chair.

   And as he slowly uncovered the lump, his eyes widened at the sight.

   Under the cotton sheets a messy black head of hair was peacefully sleeping as it took slow and steady breaths. And when the sun rays soon reached his face, his features came to be that of an angel’s. His parted plump lips inhaled and exhaled steadily, this being the cherry on top to a sight Jeonghan was unable to look away from. 

   However, this scene soon came to an end when his eyes began to flutter open and dark brown orbs soon met honey glazed ones.

   “You’re awake..” Joshua said in a soft yet husky voice. “I..seriously thought you were gone for good..”

   Still in shock, all Jeonghan did was part his lips as he struggled to look for words. “When...how..what about-”

   Before he could continue a pain shot throughout his forehead. Jeonghan winced and immediately directed his hand to it.

   “Don’t try to speak too much, especially after waking up” Joshua said as he handed him a glass of water. “I’ll explain everything in a sec. Let me just turn the music off, ok?”

   At this, he gladly accepted the cup and nodded. “What..happened?” He asked after Joshua had sat back down.
  
   “I don’t know if you remember, but after being rudely assaulted by Jun, gunshots erupted outside the private room we were in. We ran outside and were met by panicked screams and even more shots of who knows where.”

   He lifted up his right arm and gave him a sad smile. “Then, without knowing, Jun catched up to us and shot my arm. Once you fainted, the shooters, who were actually agents sent by Minghao, found us. I was then taken into surgery and you were given first aid. Jun on the other hand had ran away like the coward he is, making the mission useless"

   Joshua sighed. "And now, we’re here I guess..”

   '..Wow' Jeonghan thought. But although the whole story sounded like a chaotic mess, there was only one thing he couldn't help but worry about.

   “...How much time have I been asleep for?” Jeonghan asked after a few seconds of silence.

   “Around a day or so,” Joshua smiled. “I was told you had pulled an all-nighter the day before so I guess it was to be expected. Although, I can’t really say anything since I don’t really know much about that stuff”
