"Your wrist, it's bleeding!"

"Hyung, it's-" Felix tried to explain but Chan cut him off.

"It's nothing." He gave a look to Hyunjin's brothers silently gesturing not to tell Hyunjin about the truth.

"Nothing? The entire bandage had gone red! Why on earth would you play the drums with that hand!" Hyunjin said as he moved forward, closer to Chan, his eyes on the older's wrist.

He had shouted but it was rather like scolding someone in concern. And Chan's heart fluttered at that.

"I...it's a little injury from training. I'd change the bandage and it doesn't even hurt that-"

"Why are you lying! How stupid do you think I am? Hyunjin said looking up Chan now, his eyes stern but the worry evident in them. He stepped even closer to Chan without realizing.

Chan's brothers looked at the scene in amusement and Hyunjin's brothers were surprised to see him this way, but it wasn't an unpleasant kind of surprise.

"It's not like that. You are misunderstanding Prin-"

"More excuses!" He was standing right in front of Chan now.

Changbin and Minho snickered quietly seeing the "commanding crown prince" which is there brother getting interrupted again and again. Seungmin, standing between them hit both Changbin and Minho's arm softly to shush them. But he himself was chuckling internally.

"Seriously do you not know that I can feel your pain through our bond, so would you be honest for..." Hyunjin's eyes widened as he stopped midsentence, realizing what he had just revealed.

It was true. He could sense Chan's feelings through a strange invisible bond that seemed to exit between them. And it was because of which he had been so confused since he came here. Because he didn't feel any malice from Chan as he had expected. Instead he could sense Chan being hurt, to be in sorrow, he could sense a longing. And he told himself that the bond is just nonsense and he must be mistaken. Because those things can't possibly be true. Can it?

Hyunjin moved back slightly seeing his close proximity to Chan. All the memories, the music and his dance, had made him forget, were finally coming back to his mind. He was puzzled, but mostly angry with himself, for showing concern, for even feeling concerned, for forgetting what the people here did for a while.

He turned back and ran out of the room and Chan was too shocked to stop him, trying to comprehend what just happened.

The power of bond was not unknown to him. He too felt Hyunjin's emotions. It was how he understood that Hyunjin hid anger and frustration behind his cold silence. But he hid a much greater pain and anger for his own self.

Chan didn't assume that Hyunjin wouldn't be able to feel the bond as well, however, he never expected the younger to actually say it outloud.

"Hyung." Seungmin called him breaking his chain of thoughts.

"You should get your hand treated. The wound would catch an infection otherwise."

And not only Chan this time, but the rest of the Moon princes were shocked as well when they heard what Jisung said. Felix and Jeongin nodded in agreement.

Jisung was always the hardest to melt. Even more than Felix and Jeongin, so hearing him say that for Chan was really surprising and heartwarming.

"Umm...yes. Yeah. I will." Chan said, more so fumbled, still in surprise.
