ZERO'S POV

I missed this... It was only one day but...

I missed waking up to see her beautiful face.

I'm so grateful Seventeen helped me get back. If she weren't a former agent from PHASe, with her deadly skills..... I would have never returned alive.

It's too early to get up yet I'm already wide awake. But, I stay in bed. Not that I'm lazy... But wanna see Seven wake up next to me.

She's so peaceful like this. I can't help but wonder... How was she when I suddenly disappeared?

*knock**knock*

I got out of bed and walk to the door. It's surely Four hyung.

I open the door but-

"W-what are you doing here Nine hyung???!"

What a surprise... and it's so early. Wait.... "How did you get here this early???" I scratched my head. "Good morning Zero...." ignoring my questions, as usual. "Where have you been?" Hyung frowned at me. I look down... him being taller than me made me feel even smaller in this situation.

"I-"

"Who helped you out there?"

I look up at him. His eyes were scary. They were forcing me to tell him that.. t-that....

"I just f-found my way back...." I couldn't look up at him. I might tell him something I shouldn't.

"Oh forget it haha!" His smile returned.... phew....

"At least our Infinite's alright...... But really? Why leave East suddenly and get lost in the West and return a whole day later with so many bruises and bandages and new clothes you weren't even wearing when you left?"

He really scares the shit out of me. But his expression softened as he reached for my shoulder.

"You can tell me everything Jungkook.... I'm your leader. It's my responsibility to know what has been happening with my team and my members."

'I promised her...... I'm sorry.'

"I got beaten up in West Gate. There were two of them... But I managed to fight my way out...Then I found this store in the Gate, somewhere. I was able to get some clothes without much hassle."

It was partially true... and partially a lie. I'm not ruining the trust Jae Eun gave me. She was stern when she told me to not mention her back at her place. I won't be able to forget the look of seriousness on her face...... And I'll hold that burden.... as a way of showing I was truly grateful she was an ally I could trust.

"Alright. That's all the report I need" he smiled at me... eh what?!

"B-but I thought-!" He keeps cutting me off...

"Yeah I did say send the report. But I got really worried about our maknae.... So I thought I could come visit. Oh-! And Three hyung cooked you guys some food."

I look at his hand holding a tightly wrapped food package. I smile at him. At least they do... care.

"Thanks hyung." I take it from him and walk with him down the stairs. I glance at Seven... still asleep in bed. I'll be back quick. Looks like hyung will be chatting with me quite longer.
