Can You Hear Me? [B.A.P Fanfiction]

Grey Zone [Prologue]

Junhong remained completely still as he watched Yongguk sleeping beside him. He watched curiously as the man's chest rose softly when he inhaled and how it sunk as he exhaled.

He wondered how the breathe sounded, how it would be like to hear that Yongguk was indeed alive. He could clearly see that the elder was alive but somehow he felt it wasn't enough.

He can feel Yongguk, the way his hands hold his and how his lips are soft when they kiss him. He can see him, the way his eyes disappear when he smiles and how his expression grows serious when he's composing.

Junhong can smell him, the familiar scent of earth and candles. He could taste him, the various flavoured kisses they often shared in curiosity and excitement. But he couldn't hear him.

He wasn't able to hear that beautiful laugh or his voice. So in moments like these when Junhong was awoken at the early hours of the morning, he couldn't help but wonder whether Yongguk was actually there with him.

Everything felt so empty all the time, and Junhong always felt like the world of sound was rushing ahead of him while he chased after it. Even though he knew he'd never reach it, he'd never experience what everyone else did.

His hand shivered on Yongguk's chest and he breathed in deeply, feeling the elder's heartbeat to reassure himself that Yongguk was alive and his warmth was here with him.

Yongguk's eyes fluttered open and he didn't flinch or gasp when he saw Junhong staring at him. The younger nuzzled into his chest in an attempt to comfort him back into sleep but when Yongguk's arms wrapped around him he knew he was the one being comforted again.

Junhong pulled away ever so slightly, his lips shaking as he stared into Yongguk's eyes. The elder gently placed a kiss on his forehead and cupped his cheeks with his soft hands.

"You're thinking too much again, sleep now. I'm not going anywhere."
