Wake Up

"Darling," a sweet voice coos as the man behind it taps your shoulder.

You slowly open your eyes, only to see that the view was not that different as when they were closed. You're unsure of the time. You're unsure if you're even awake or not. But you are sure of one thing- Yonghwa was being extremely annoying whether it was late in the evening or early in the morning, dream or reality. You stick your head under your pillow and ignore him.

He lightly shakes your shoulder this time. "Come on, wake up," he softly whispers.

"What time is it?" you manage to ask, your voice groggy and cranky.

"Time for you to get up."

You reach over him, grabbing your phone from the nightstand to check the time since Yonghwa isn't cooperating. As the glow from the screen blinds you, he smiles at the sight of your face.

"4:26 IN THE MORNING?! ARE YOU INSANE?" you scream, launching the poor, defenseless phone at him.

"I know it takes you forever to wake up," he replies as he effortlessly catches it. "I would've let you sleep in till 6:00, but then we'd hit traffic by the time you finish getting ready."

"That's still too early. And getting ready for what?"

Yonghwa beams. "I planned an adventure for us."

Your eyes remain closed as you spit out, "The only adventure I need right now is one in bed."

His eyes widen and flashes a smile. "Well, I can give you that too, you know."

You lift your eyelids and glare at him. "Not like that. Let me sleep. Wake me up again at 6, I swear I'll comply."

Haha, I read this ages ago, and you know it's REALLY good if I decide to read it again XD anyway, I would have commented a long time ago, but most of the time I'm pretty lazy to express my thoughts, but then again, you deserve this XD I love how yonghwa is so energetic in contrast to (me). I can totally relate to myself... If that makes sense; the people who ARE morning people are always interesting, personally... I remember some guy texted me at like 8 in the morning, asking if I'm excited for a party that he's not even hosting... ==" so yeah!! A great, simple one-shot showing great characterisation through your expertise in dialogue. :D
