SEVEN'S/YOUR POV

'Ugh.. what the hell...'

Where am I? Is this.. the hotel? I don't really remember when or how I got here but, last time I checked we were.... "Jungkook!" I sat up from the bed but my bandaged leg was screaming at me to stop moving. I grit my teeth in pain but forced my eyes to look around. We are back at the hotel....
I push myself off the bed and try to stand up. Somehow, I was able to. I guess Three already made some medications on me while I was asleep. The second floor was quiet and seeing it was 6 am, I can see why. Everyone's probably taking a rest by now... But... where is he? What happened to him?
I finally got to the living room, limping from the staircase, and found... someone... on the couch. It was quite dark early in the morning, so I wasn't sure who I was seeing. I squint my eyes hoping I'd at least get an idea of the outline.

"Four?" I called out.
"Hey.." he doesn't turn to me, "You sure your leg doesn't hurt? You've been standing there for almost two minutes." Yep that's him alright. "I-I'm fine. Kinda.. What happened? How'd we get back here??"
He seems tired... Did they keep him up?? "You fell asleep on the copter. And if you're looking for Zero, don't. Three took him back to the plane. Said he needed to figure out why his augs wouldn't deactivate. Eight, Five, and Six are in the spare rooms. I sent Seventeen with Three to keep them company. In case you know..."
I guess a lot's happened I forgot. "How long ago was the Dome invasion?" I approached the nearest couch and let myself lay down. I still feel tired from all this. "Last night. You weren't out too long don't worry." I just nod. "How are the others? Is anyone badly hurt?"
"No. They're fine. Zero, Nine, and Six had the worst but they're fine. They'll be fine." I see him sip from his mug in the dark while he was holding his monitor in his left hand. "How about you? Are you hurt?" I asked. He shook his head. "I'm alright. Well enough to go run around if that's what you meant." I don't know if that was supposed to be sarcastic or not. "You sound tired." I guessed. He nodded. "Yeah... I had to stay up all night in case those KAIROS Ops followed us here. I'll be alright anyway. I'm basically an insomniac who was granted more sleep."
I sigh and rub my eyes. Why do I feel so dead? "You hungry?" Four asks, "Kinda...". I wasn't really expecting anything, but a plate of eggs, bacon, and ham was suddenly sitting on the coffee table in front of me. I looked at Four and silently asked. He immediately responded, "I figured you'd wake up soon enough and cooked this. Eat up. Wouldn't wanna starve before anything happens again right?" He got back to his previous position relaxing on the other couch while I slowly sat up and took the food he cooked. I thanked him and ate up.
"You look pale." Four comments out of nowhere. "You think so?" It's kinda odd how he could say that when it's kinda dark to see anything. I hear his footsteps coming towards me. A palm suddenly touched my forehead. I look up while chewing, Four was standing right in front of me. "Well you're not sick. You probably just need more rest." I watched him walk to the kitchen counter as he said those words.
He comes back holding a mug of hot tea. I thank him once again and silence took over just like earlier. I finished eating and Four washed the plate and utensils for me although I wanted to do it. He insisted I rested more so now here I am, just laying on the couch. I'm guessing it's about 7 something but the snowy weather here in East Gate prevented the sun from showing up.
"Seven?" I turn to the voice calling me. It was One. She seemed to have just woken up. "He's still laying there?" I follow her gaze. Four fell asleep on the couch with his back facing us. "He said he's been here all night. I didn't really notice when he fell asleep..." One nods and combs her hair with her fingers. "Have you eaten anything? Are you hungry?" She asked. I just smile at her in return. "No I'm good. Four cooked breakfast earlier."
I hear her walk to the kitchen, probably gonna fetch something to eat. I start spacing out. Soon realizing that I've been staring at Four's back the entire time. One was munching on some bread while she sat in a separate chair. "What happened to him?" I didn't really realize I asked that until One answered, "You mean Zero? He was shot... At least that's what Three said before he took him back to the plane. His augs wouldn't deactivate, too."
I feel a pain in my chest for some reason. And I don't see any explanations for it. I wasn't hurt badly anywhere around my torso. As far as I remember, only my leg's been injured. "I hope he's okay." I muttered out. "He will be. Don't worry."
