Kris sat in the waiting room, pacing back and forth. There was still no word on Sehun and Baekhyun. They had both been rushed to the emergency room, since the truck had hit where they had been getting luggage. It brought back thoughts of Kyuhyun's accident, and Kris didn't want to think of it ending like that. Maybe they would come out of this better than he had. All they could do was hope and pray. He still felt like there was something unsaid between himself and Baekhyun, and he would never know what it was, unless the younger man woke up. Not to mention having them back as bandmates.
LuHan had not moved from his seat, staring at the floor. Kris saw Suho approach him, and LuHan finally looked up. "Hey," he said in monotone.
Suho smiled at him. "They'll be okay. Don't worry." He placed a hand on LuHan's shoulder, but LuHan just sat there, shaking his head.
"Suho...if I had not asked him to grab my bag for me, Sehun would not have been injured as badly as he was. It's my fault!" He threw his phone across the room, popping the back off and the battery out.
Suho shook his head. "Lulu, you didn't know someone was going to crash into us, and there was no way you could have prevented it. He may have been injured any other way. Besides, he and Baekhyun wil be okay."
LuHan muffled a sob. "You don't know that...and I will never forgive myself, if he dies. Or Baekhyun. But Sehun..."He closed his eyes, turning away. "I don't want to talk about it, okay?"
SuHo sighed, patting him on the shoulder. "Okay." He glanced at Kris, who smiled weakly. This was a rough time for them all.
Kris sat down and leaned his head against the wall. There was nothing they could do but wait, and he was better comfort to LuHan if he was calm and appeared to not be nearly as worried as he was.

About thirty minutes later, Baekhyun woke up in the recovery. He had tubes running from his arms, and a killer headache. He tried to remember what had happened, but couldn't recall much. It was all foggy.
Glancing over, he was delighted to see Kris sitting in the chair next to his bed. The young man was dosing, but snapped awake when Baekhyun said his name.
"Hey, Kris..." Baekhyun felt like his mind was a million miles away. He must have been put on some strong medication. "How is everyone?"
Kris touched his face lightly. He had a bandage around his head, but looked otherwise okay. "Hi. How are you feeling?"
Baekhyun smiled, then winced. "Damn. It hurts to smile. I'm feeling...disconnected and my head hurts, but otherwise okay." He went back to his original question. "How is everyone else? Did they come out of it okay?" Baekhyun looked very worried.
Kris sighed. "Everyone else had minor injuries, except for Sehun. He's still in the ICU, but they have allowed us to go see him, and LuHan is with him now. I think he's be okay." Kris managed a smile. "I'm glad you are awake."
Baekhyun nodded. "Me, too," he replied quietly.
Kris looked as if he was considering something, but shook his head. "I'm just glad you are both alive and will be okay."
Baekhyun smiled lightly. "Yeah, me too."
