Courage in the Game 2 (Discontinued)

How do you feel about me?

Chen POV (Exo)

I groaned as I came too. What the heck had happened? It took me a moment to realize that I was back in my room at Exo's dorm. How in the world did I get here? A couple minutes later, everything that had happened came flooding back. Oh that was great. Just peachy perfect. Now I was back in a dorm full of eleven people that probably wanted me dead. How was I going to get out of this one? I shook my head as the door opened. D.O came in with Kai close behind. I could smell the soup that was on the tray D.O was holding. My stomach growled, reminding me that I hadn't really eaten anything since Exo had landed back in Korea. D.O sat on the edge of the bed and tried to make me eat, but I pushed it away. 

"Just eat okay?" D.O quipped. 

I heard Kai sigh. "Kyung, go cool off. I'll make sure he eats."

I watched D.O basically shove the spoon at Kai before taking off. 

"Don't worry. He's not mad at you," Kai told me as he filled the place D.O had once sat. "And we're not going to hurt you. You're one of the brothers. We look after each other. All this time we wanted to come and find you, but we didn't have any clue where you had run off too. Why do this Chen? It isn't like you."

I looked down at my hands before finally taking a bite of the soup he was offering. "I...I...way to afraid." I didn't like how weak my voice sounded. 

"Why are you so afraid? I get that you had a hard as heck break up in the past. But Hunter isn't like that. He won't hurt you like that. He really wants to love you."

Kai was silently as I downed what was left and the soup and apple juice. He placed everything back on the tray and ruffled my hair before leaving the room. I laid back down and threw the blanket over me. Could I let Hunter in? Would I be able to lower my walls for him? 

CAP POV (Teen Top)

It had been almost two weeks since Hunter was realsed from the hospital. And every chance any of us got, it was spent at Midnight's dorm. Whether it was a group or we were flying solo. And I was pretty glad Hunter was steadily improving. We all pitched in a bit to help. And I was all for it, even though it was lessening the time I had to spend with Rose. But if Hunter got better, that's what mattered. 

For the first almost week after he had woken up, Hunter was almost dead silent. He must have only spoken about ten or so words. When week two rolled around, just before he got realsed, he opened up a bit more. Still not talking a whole lot, but more than he had and it was in sentences not one word answers. Now that he was back at the dorm, he was almost back to his old self. Laughing and joking with everyone at times. 

There was just one name that was never mentioned. One name we agreed that we would never talk about unless Hunter brought it up. Chen. And ironicly, Chen never actually saw Hunter. Though I did get a bit of a shock once when I came over. Chen was standing at the door, frozen. I had never seen anyone that pale before. It was like he was really scared of knocking on the door. I had been there the day he had been taken back to Exo's dorm. I won't lie when I say I was a bit freaked at how close to death he looked. Heck, when I saw him standing there, he still looked pretty bad. I stood there silently for a couple minutes, just watching him. It was as if he was debating on knocking or not. But, at the last second, he turned and bolted. Was he trying to face Hunter?

Kris POV (Exo)

As Tao plopped down next to me on the couch, I couldn't believe what I was feeling towards him. It wasn't the fact that he was a guy, but the fact that about three months ago I was still liking Rayne a bit. But now, the feelings I had felt towards her were gone. They were quickly replaced by feeling for the panda. 

"Hey hyung, wanna watch a movie?" Tao asked, looking up at me with milky brown orbs. 

"Sure. Pick one," I answered. 

If anyone would have told me this time last year, that I would be with Tao, I would have laughed and walked away. Now it had changed. If anyone tried to tell me that I wasn't just about completely in love with him, I would laugh and walk away. I knew how I felt towards him, I just didn't have a complete understanding of how he felt towards me. Sure I knew he liked me, but was it anything more then that. 

"Hyung!" A voice shouted at me. 

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Huh?" Oh real smart answer. 

"What are you thinking so deeply about?"

Us. "Uh...nothing."

I was suddenly on my back with Tao glaring down at me. Okay I had to make a mental note that this kid could be terrifying when need be. Remind me never to make him mad. 

"What were you thinking so heavily about?"

I tried to turn my head to see if we were alone. I couldn't see anyone and I didn't hear anybody else. "I was thinking about us."

This shocked Tao enough to where I was able to sit up. 

"What about us?" He asked. 

"Tao, what exactly do you feel towards me?"

"I really really like you. I've told you this before."

"And what if it was more than that?"

Tao sat back on his heels. "What do you mean more than that?"

My heart raced. "Is it ever more than like?"

"Um....Uh...I...I...um..."

I raised an eyebrow. I'd never heard him stumble over words like this. Why was going on in the brain of his? We sat there in an almost awkward silence. And I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I didn't want to see any emotion on his face that might hurt me. Cowardly yes, but I didn't want to be hurt. So, needless to say, I was shocked when I felt a hand cupping my face, lifting it up. That was just before I felt lips pressed against my own. 

"Of course I love you pabo," Tao whispered to me after breaking the kiss.
