"Hey, careful Wookie." Is the first thing I hear when I next wake up. I groan, not really wanting to open my eyes. I feel a chuckle coming from the warm body beside me, the vibrations coming from the chest pressed up against my back.
"Haehae! Uppy uppy! Look what I brought~ MARKERS!!!!" Heechul hyung says, my eyes open quickly as I hear the last word, a grin spreading on my face as I see the blue, red, purple, orange, green, brown, and yellow markers in his hands. I sit up, the arm around my waist slipping away, before Hyukjae hyung sits up properly, instead of leaning against the wall. I look around, noticing that we are in a fairly large room, with six beds. Leeteuk hyung and Kangin hyung were reclining on one, though I guess it was Kangin's bed, with Leeteuk's beside his, an older man and woman sitting on the one I assume to be Leeteuk's bed, a little girl standing between two other adults. Kangin hyung and Leeteuk hyung's families. Ryeowook was laying on a different bed, the one beside the one I'm on, with Yesung hyung and Kyuhyun standing beside the bed. Sungmin hyung is standing on the left of me, with Heechul hyung on the right, and Hyukjae hyung sitting on it beside me.
"Auntie and Taeno ah are on their way." Sungmin hyung says, glancing over at Kyuhyun's back, where he was talking with Yesung hyung and Ryeowook. I look over at him, noticing the cast on his leg, nod.
"Donghae! You're awake!" Ryeowook notices, I lift my arm, wincing as it pulls at the stiches in my chest. Yesung hyung and Kyuhyun turn around and look over at me.
"Hey hey! The sleepy heads finally up!" Kyuhyun says, smirking at me. I narrow my eyes, and vow that if he had been closer I would have slapped him, right in the middle of that bandaged cheek.
"Be respectful to your hyungs Kyuhyun." Sungmin says, crossing his arms, being extremely careful with the right one. It was then that I noticed that there were two doctors in the room, standing off more so by themselves.
"I wanna go home... I haven't slept in almost twenty-four hours. Don't get me wrong, I'm sad those two died, I'm just glad that we don't need to worry about fixing them up as well." I heard the one doctor say to the other. Jongwoon's head snapped up and he marched over to the two doctors, limping slightly, grabbing the one that had spoken by the front of his shirt, pulling him down about six inches to look directly into the others eyes, his free hand curling into a fist.
"Don't you talk about them like that! One of them was my sister! Want to know how old she was? Eight. Eight fuckin' years old and she's dead! You're a bastard for talking about them that way." Yesung bites out, glaring into the older mans eyes for another second before turning around and walking across the room and out the door. Everyone in the room had gone completely silent, in shock from the doctor's words and Yesung's outburst of anger, even though it was expected. I turn around and try to bury my head back into Hyukkie hyung's upper chest, the shock of how close we all had been to dying sinking in, the emotions welling up in me until they come out in the form of tears, wetting Hyukjae hyung's bare chest. I feel him shift to look down at me, before he wraps his arm around me, awkwardly stroking my hair with his casted one. I wrap my arms around his waist, and lay on top of him, as I try and gets the tears to stop, but am unable to bottle up the emotions and stress.
"It's alright Hae, we'll be fine. All of us, it'll just take some extra time for some of us to get calmed down than it will for others." Hyukjae hyung mutters, his head bent down to my ear. I hear Sungmin hyung moving away from the bed, and look up to see him over by the door, greeting Umma and Taeno.
"Who else died?" I ask quietly, Hyukjae hyung freezes momentarily before resuming his stroking. He kisses my forehead briefly, before looking away, over to where the other beds were, Junsu sitting up in one, Yoochun sitting on the bed as well, looking less beat up than Junsu, with Jaejoong and Yunho sitting in the beds on either side of them. I watch for a second longer until I realise that it looks more along the lines of the three of them are comforting Junsu than anything.
"Junsu's twin, Junho........." Hyukjae hyung replies sadly into my ear, after I had sat up, partially to get a better view of the scene with Junsu, and partly because Umma and Taeno had come with Sungmin hyung back to my bed.
"Oh, my poor baby! Umma is so glad your all right!" Umma exclaims, hugging me, being careful not to hurt me, I glance over at Leeteuk hyung and see him give me an amused smile, and Kangin hyung look away from Leeteuk hyung's face over to his sister, who was tugging on his pant legs.
"Umma...." I mutter as I feel Hyukkie hyung's arm tighten around my waist, his hand running up and down my stomach, reminding me of his wound there. I push gently out of Umma's hug and look down at Hyukkie's bandaged stomach, running my finger's lightly over it, hearing his sharp inhalation of air as I do so.
"Junsu sit down! Don't be unreasonable!" I hear Jaejoong shout, causing my head to turn towards the small group within the big group, the entire room going silent once again. Junsu had stood up, biting his lip to try and hold the tears in, as he strode out of the room, not looking back at all. Yunho struggles to get up and walk over to Jaejoong's bed, and wraps his arms gingerly around the now crying Jaejoong.
"Oh my.... what just happened....?" Umma mutters to herself, before a shout is heard, a few seconds later, Changmin walks into the room, carrying a loudly protesting Junsu in his arms, Kibum coming in after him, using a pair of crutches.
"Hyung. I understand that Junho hyung just died, and I'm very sad over that as well. However, that doesn't give you reason to walk out of the room, making Jae umma cry." Changmin says sternly, putting his hands on his hips, I remember that Changmin hadn't been on the bus, since he lived close enough to walk.
Hyukjae kisses my cheek, bringing my attention back closer to him, and I smile at him. Hyukjae hyung frowns, pressing his lips against mine, as I notice that Umma had left the room, but seeing Taeno sitting on the ground right beside us, and mutters against my lips,
"Cheer up Donghae. I don't like seeing you sad. I'm here to make you happy." I break away as I hear taeno exclaiming a long 'eww' and smile at Hyukjae again, this time having him smile at back at me as he deems the smile better, before I reach down and smack Taeno on the head.
"Don't tell Umma, or I'll never show you where I hid your PSP." I threaten, and Taeno nods his head frantically, squeaking out a loud 'OK', causing a couple heads to turn our way right as Hyukjae hyung kisses me again.
