The walk back was very quiet.

Harin kept at the back, calm like usual and acting as if the threat he sent to Yonghoon earlier never happened.

They had got back in around 2 hours, the camp in shape and Dongmyeong safe.
Harin, however, didn't go back inside.

"Hyung..?" Kanghyun said, and the alpha looked at him.
"Are you gonna come in? It's going to snow again.."

"No"
Kanghyun blinked.
"What do you mean no? You're going to be cold-"

"I'm sure the Delta of the house wouldn't want a 'bitch' in his house. Who just so happens to not have leadership skills"
Kanghyun frowned as he watched the alpha go to a spot - but he nearly burst out laughing when he saw him bump into a tree trunk.

"Shit!-"

"Are- Are you okay there?" He said, chuckling as he went up to him.
"Yeah just. Can't really see out of my left eye well-"
"It's probably because of the attack earlier on.. I'm sure you'll see soon"

Harin nodded.

"Anyway- come back in or..?"
"No, it's okay. I can sleep on the pile of sticks. If Yonghoon decides to grow up and come apologise, tell him I'll be waiting"
Kanghyun whimpered and went back in, suddenly fuming.

He went up to Yonghoon and grabbed his ear, hearing him yelp.
"What are you doing!—"
"You're going to apologise to Harin hyung, whether you like it or not"

He shoved him out of the door.

"And don't come back in until you convince him to come in"

Then the door was slammed in his face.
Yonghoon whined and turned around, seeing the big shape of the alpha settling down on the mess of the den he used to have.

He didn't shift into his wolf form, he simply went to him quietly and sat down.
Harin lifted his neck and saw him, tilting his head at him.

Yonghoon looked at him and then hung his head.
"I'm sorry hyung. I didn't mean to shout and call you those names.. I was.. just annoyed I guess. I thought I failed with saving you two and just.. agh, I know how this sounds. But I'm genuinely very sorry"

Harin lied down again and listened to him talk, closing his eyes for a second before opening them back up and looking at him.

His wolf form scoffed, if that was even possible.
He got up, Yonghoon cowering just a little, but then becoming confused when the elder set his head on his lap, body dropping behind him.

He lifted his hand and brought it down to his head, petting his fur. Though hesitantly, since he was still scared about the warning.
He pet his neck, and that's where he came to a stop when he felt something wet there.
He retrieved his hand and saw blood covering it, eyes widening.

"Hyung, please turn to a human. The wound on your neck.. "
Harin tried to look at the wound, growling when a pain shot through his neck, shifting back.

His whole neck was bloody while the wound was there, and he looked to be in pain.

"Oh no.. here, let me-"
"What are you going to do?"
"Help you obviously, what else?"

He quickly got a first aid kit box from their supplies den and brought it back to him, starting to tend to the wound.
He heard him grumble a couple of times, mumbling some 'sorrys' while continuing to help.

"How did this.. happen..?"
"Probably wound from earlier opened up. I don't know"

He sounded quite annoyed.
"Sorry about that"
"About what?"
"Nothing.."

Harin watched him clean the wound, pulling away when he finished.
The two were quiet for a small while, before Yonghoon broke the silence.

"Will you go back i—"
"No"
"Oh come on! Please?"
"No"

Yonghoon huffed.
"I literally beg you"
"Leave me the fuck alone" Harin snapped.
"Absolutely not. Come on"

Harin growled lowly when Yonghoon tried dragging him away from the pile of sticks.

"Didn't I tell you something about touching me?"
"I didn't listen, and you let me earlier on- geez, Hyung just come in. You're going to be cold if you stay out here longer" Yonghoon whined.

"I don't care"
"You're so stubborn God damn. Please just come"
"No"

Yonghoon was getting frustrated.
"I don't like you"
"Don't like you either"
"I know you do"

H3 looked at him as if he was stupid.
"What?"
"I know you do like me. You're just saying this out of pure anger"
Harin laughed.

"You're funny"
"I know I am. But I damn well know you don't hate me"

Harin fell silent.
"Yeah I guess that's a statement we could argue with—"
"What?!"

Harin snickered at his reaction.
"I'm obviously joking.. but I'm not forgiving you for attacking me that one day and today. My leg is forever gonna have that limp, you bastard"

"Well oops"
The alpha smacked him and heard him whimper.
"That's what you deserve"
"I probably do. Now.. Will you come in?"
"Fine"

The two got up and Yonghoon brought Harin back in, bringing him to the place where'd he usually sleep.
Kanghyun praised Yonghoon for bringing him back in, and soon enough, they settled down to sleep.
