Inside the omega den, a soft glow from the setting sun filtered through the entrance. Minghao entered as quietly as he could.

Jun's eyes fluttered open again as Minghao approached. "Minghao," he whispered, a faint smile appearing on his lips despite his fatigue.

"Hey, Jun," Minghao replied, his voice soft and soothing. He knelt beside Jun, gently placing a hand on his forehead to check for any sign of sickness. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Tired," Jun admitted. "I didn't mean to worry everyone." He added,

"Your health is more important than anything else. You should've told us you weren't feeling well before going out on a hunt." Minghao pointed out.

"I didn't want to be a burden, everyone was so excited for this hunt. Including me." Jun said.

Minghao sighed softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from Jun's face. "You're never a burden, Jun. We're a pack. We take care of each other, remember?"

Jun nodded, his eyes closing again as he relaxed under Minghao's gentle touch. Minghao turned to find DK entering the den with more water and some food.

"I brought these for Jun," DK said, motining to the supplies in his hands.

"Thank you, DK," Minghao replied, taking the bowl and cup and setting it down beside him.

"Is there anything else you need?" DK asked, eyes never leaving his fellow omega.

Minghao shook his head, "I've got it from here. Thanks, DK." He gave DK a reassuring smile.

Once DK had left, Minghao turned his full attention back to Jun. He carefully helped Jun sit up slightly, supporting him with one arm. "Here, drink some water," Minghao said, holding the cup to Jun's lips.

"Thank you." Jun said, taking a sip of water. "You always take such great care of me." He added.

"It's because I care about you," Minghao replied softly. "We all do. You need to take better care of yourself." He lectured.

Jun smiled weakly. "I'll try."

Minghao stayed by Jun's side for the rest of the day, keeping a watchful eye on him. Seungcheol and Jeonghan occasionally checked in, as the evening wore on, making sure Jun was comfortable.

As night fell, Jun finally drifted into a peaceful sleep. "Rest well, Jun. I'll be here when you wake up." Minghao whispered.
