You were sitting by Baekhyuns kitchen table going through what happened only a few hours ago. You told Baekhyun to kiss you, which he did. You felt your cheeks heat up just by remembering it. Leaning your face in your palm you tried calming your heart down. It was one of those heavy make out sessions that just happened between the two of you, you thought you remembered having some tongue in there as well. Oh god, why am I blushing?! You placed both your hands on your cheeks and let the heat warm your cold fingers.

    What’s happening to me? What the hell… After that, you don’t know what happened. You remembered just staring into each other’s eyes before the two of you passed out. A sudden sound of cry interrupted your thoughts and you quickly shot out of your seat. “Baekhyun?” You whispered and looked up towards the loft where Baekhyun was laying on the mattress where you assumed, he was asleep. The sound of him whimpering made you flinch and run up the stairs. Baekhyun was tossing and turning on the mattress with pain all over his face. , a nightmare! He cries out again, the sound making your heart stop beating for a moment in shock. “Baekhyun!” You lean over him, grab his shoulders and shake him awake. His eyes shoot open, filled with panic and fear, scanning quickly around the empty room before they came back and met your worried stare. “You left.” He panted. “You must’ve left…”. He looks so lost, confused and filled with fear; it made your heart twist in pain. “I’m here.” You whispered and slowly sat beside him on the mattress. “I’m here.” You murmured in an effort to reassure him. You slowly reached out and placed you palm on the side of his face, trying to soothe him. Baekhyun leaned his face into your hand. “You were gone.” He whispers rapidly. His eyes were still a bit wild and frightened, but he seemed to be calming.  “I went to get a drink.” You lied. “I was thirsty.”

     He closed his eyes and rubbed his face with a hand. He breathed out deeply before he opened his eyes again and met yours. “You’re here.” He reached for you and grabbed you tightly, pulling you down onto the mattress beside him. His wife beater was drenched in sweat, his heart pounding hard as he held you close. “I just went for a drink.” You murmured once again. Baekhyun gazed down at you as if he was reassuring himself that you were really there. You reached a hand up and gently his hair then cheek. “I’m here.” You said soothingly and he let a small smile appear on his lips. “I’m happy.”

    Baekhyun stirred in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his lips when he saw your sleeping body in his arms. You had your head resting on his chest with an arm around his waist; your light snores filled the room. Your bodies were tangled together with the blanket almost making it impossible for him to move, but he didn’t want to move. Baekhyun felt that everything right at that moment was perfect, you in his arms, you being the first thing he saw in the morning, the two of you so close to each other. Grinning from ear to ear, he carefully turned his body around, trying not to wake you. When he was facing you he gently pulled you closed to him before he closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

    Furrowing his eyebrows he blinked his eyes open in the dim lit room. He reached out in front of him only to be met with an empty space. His eyes shot open in panic as he sat up and saw that you weren’t next to him. “Hee-“

    “I’m here.” You whispered and Baekhyun was met with your big gray eyes when he whipped his head around. He sighed out in relief. You were just sitting on the other side of him on the mattress, awake, just watching him sleep.

    Furrowing his eyebrows, Baekhyun turned in his sleep and let a soft whimper escape his lips. He felt his heart begin to beat hard in his chest and he the mattress. The boy started panting when his arms flew tossed around on the mattress, feeling an empty space behind him. No… Baekhyun tried opening his eyes but he couldn’t he felt like someone had shut them closed and his chest felt heavy. Another whimper escaped his lips when his hand felt around the empty space beside him, only to find no one there. That’s when he heard the soft hushing above him followed by the feeling of soft skin on his cheek. His heart immediately calmed down as he slowly squinted his eyes open. You were leaning above him while lightly his cheek, which he found incredibly soothing. His breathing turned back to normal and he leaned his head into your hand. “I’m still here.” You mumbled and that made him feel so much better. “What did you dream of?” You whispered and he sighed out while keeping his eyes closed. “You.” He muttered, embarrassed.

    “I’m not that scary.” You chuckled and he shook his head chuckling as well. “No, the scary part was that you…” He paused and it looked like he wanted to open his eyes but decided not to. “… You fell for someone else. I know that you deserve someone so much better than me, but I couldn’t help but feel really broken.” He said and you gulped as you continued his cheek with your thumb. He heaved a heavy sigh. “I feel really stupid.” He then admitted taking you by surprise. “Why is that?” You asked and he hesitated for a moment. “Baekhyun?”

    “Because you’re not even mine.” He muttered and turned away from you. “I have no right to feel like that in my dream. I know that I should be happy for you if you find someone you love but… I just can’t. I can’t imagine you in someone else’s arms than mine.”

    Your eyes widened and just stared at the boys back. When did he become so … so…? Baekhyun confused you; he could go from this five-year-old boy to a man whose feelings were true for you. Every time he talked about his feelings for you he sounded so mature, so not Baekhyun. Where did the awkward, nervous boy that you met for the first time go? Ever since Baekhyun had confessed he changed, ok, not entirely changed but he was more, open about his feelings, so much more… You couldn’t even describe how much he’s changed and you couldn’t help but feel a slight tinge of guilt.

    “All I can do now is just wait until…” He paused. “… You respond to my feelings or not.” He mumbled and you slowly crawled onto the mattress next to him. “I sound very selfish right now, I know. “ He sighed. “But I just can’t help it.” He didn’t even react when he felt your arms s around his waist, hugging him from behind. He placed a hand on top of yours and your knuckles with his thumb. “Is that bad?” He whispered and he felt you shake your head behind him. “Not at all.” You hugged the boy tighter. “I’m really confused myself.” You confessed surprising the boy, making him turn around and face you again. He gazed at you with his big eyes with a hint of confusion. “Why is that?”

    “I don’t know.” You whispered and he gladly accepted that as an answer. He too, wrapped his arms around your body and leaned his head on your shoulder. One of your hands reached up and started to play with his hair that tickled your neck. “Can I sleep for a while more?” He mumbled and snuggled closer towards your neck where he inhaled your scent. “Of course.” It didn’t take long until you heard his light snoring fill the room.

    You kept yourself awake while Baekhyun slept once again and just fiddled with his hair. Different thoughts and questions filled your head as you lay there and stared at the white ceiling. Everything felt different; it was as if there were no boundaries between you and Baekhyuns friendship, or shall you say relationship? You didn’t even know what the two of you had for some relationship anymore. Sure, the two of you were friends, but with Baekhyuns feelings for you, it felt like somewhere in between. You didn’t know what to feel or do every time he talked about his feelings. You knew that he was waiting patiently for your answer, but you didn’t know an answer yourself. It felt like you should’ve made some boundaries from the beginning but it was to late now, especially with you under Baekhyun like this, were the two of you friends? You didn’t know. He said that he doesn’t have nightmares when you’re close, nightmares about you leaving him, or about the bet that’s happened. You felt Baekhyun stir in his sleep and held your breath when he just held you tighter, his head on your chest right above your heart. What is this? You asked yourself and stopped fiddling with his hair for a moment. Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows by the lack of touch and you quickly began again, his brows smoothing out. Your feelings were confused as well because of this boy. Do you like him? Or do you just see him as a friend? What is he to you? Do you love him? What are you doing right now? What’s happening? Friends? Feelings? Questions marks flew around in your head making you dizzy and close your eyes for a moment. If you had to admit, Baekhyun had made your heart flutter a couple of times… Your eyes shot open and you felt your face heat up when the memory of the two of you kissing appeared in your head. No, no, no! You lightly shook your head and tried to calm yourself when Baekhyun stirred in his sleep once again. You saw him slowly raise his head and turn to you with squinting eyes. “What are you thinking about?” He asked in a croaky voice. “What?” You whispered and tried to sound as calm as possible. He furrowed his eyebrows and rubbed his eyes with a hand. “Your heart…” He mumbled and cleared his throat. “It sped up all of a sudden.”

    My heart? Your eyes slightly widened and you just stared at him not knowing what to say. You didn’t even notice your heart beating faster until now. “Are you alright?” He asked and tilted his head. “Y-Yeah.” You cleared your throat and tried not to stutter of embarrassment. “I just thought about something…” You mumbled and he sleepily scratched the back of his head. “You sure?” You nodded and he shrugged it of before he laid his head on your shoulder again. “Play with my hair again, please.” He mumbled before you heard his light snores again. You gladly reached a hand up and began fiddling with his hair again while feeling relieved. Phew. You sighed in your head. That was close…

-

Kai squinted his eyes open and looked around the white room. He grunted as he tried to sit up. How long has he been in the hospital? He didn’t know himself. Right in front of him, another bed was placed with a sleeping Chanyeol in it. They’ve been hospitalized ever since they got beat up in the cafeteria.

    “I see that you’re still in once piece.”

    Kai flinched and turned his head to the side of his bed. His eyes widened when he saw you sitting on a chair with your legs crossed. You looked at him with a small smile on your face. “W-What are you doing here?” He asked, his voice hoarse and made a quick glance towards his friend who was sleeping soundly. “Checking on how you’re doing.” You answered and lightly shrugged and eyed his bandaged wrists. “Why?” He whispered and looked away, facing his still so painful wrists in front of him.

    “Why not?” You asked and stood up from your seat. “I thought that they went a little too harsh on the two of you.” You slowly sat down on the edge of his bed making him flinch, but still not look at you.

    “I’m sorry, alright? I have nothing else to say.” He muttered, his gaze still on his wrists. “I know that I shouldn’t have done what I’ve did.” You waited for a moment. “… And done.” He later added.

    “Are you now?” You eyed him carefully. “You do know that the two of you are expelled for a week, right?” Kai gulped and slowly nodded. He finally raised his head and dared to look at you. You were dressed in a pair of jeans, boots and your black coat. No glasses and just had your hair in a high ponytail. “I still can’t believe it.” He mumbled as he eyed your face. “I-“

    You chuckled and shook your head. “I know.” You silenced him. “It was surprising for everyone.” You reached a hand out and lightly placed it on his. “How are you though? Really.” You asked in a stern voice and Kai just sighed out and slowly leaned back on his soft pillow, wincing from the pain in his ribs. “My body doesn’t hurt as much.” He answered. “Only when I move. And I’ll be getting crutches for a few weeks.” You turned to his bandaged foot that laid on the end of the bed.

    “I’m sorry.” You said and lightly squeezed his hand, making sure you didn’t hurt him. “You knew everything about the bet?” He asked and kept his eyes on the ceiling. “Yes.” A smile spread on his lips, surprising you. “I got to give it to you.” He shook his head. “You played everything well.” You smiled back. “Yes, I did.”

    “I have a few questions though.” He turned to you and looked at you with bright eyes. You smiled at him. “Ask on.”

    You and Kai talked about a lot of things to be honest. He asked you how you managed to sneak into the club and was shocked when you told him that your family owns it. You told him about your family business, but not about your parents, and about the café. You also told him that you owned this hospital which shocked him but explained how you managed to get in this early in the morning. Kai actually listened, fascinated about your life and how you managed to hide everything from everyone. He didn’t look like the boy he was in school, in front of you, right now; he looked like a little boy, a very innocent little boy all bruised up. His usual smoldering eyes were big and bright as you talked and he even sat up again, wincing in pain, just to look at you properly.

    He even looked more like a child when he smiled and told you about his dreams and life. “You’re going to laugh.” He mumbled and looked down when he was talking about his dream. “No, I promise.” He looked at you for a moment before a shy grin spread on his plump lips. “I love to dance.” He didn’t have that good of a relationship with his parents, they were always out working leaving him alone at home most of the time. You noticed that Kai actually as a lonely boy which saddened you a bit.

    You were actually surprised how different this Kai was in front of you. No, not Kai, that’s his name in school. In front of you was the child named Kim Jongin, telling you about his dreams and life. You told him that you encouraged him to continue dancing when he told you he usually practices in secret in his parents’ basement. He was self taught and usually looked up videos on the Internet to learn. He also loved animated movies and told you his favorite snacks to eat. “Omo!” Your eyebrows raised in surprise. “I love cheese to!” The two of you laughed but quickly silenced when Chanyeol grunted in his bed when he turned in his sleep. You two ended up in a hushed laughter instead, you noticed that the two of you actually had a lot in common. Kai was shocked when you told him you dance as well. “Really?” He gaped and you nodded, proudly. “Though I haven’t danced in a while.” You said and shrugged. “Show me.” He said. You chuckled. “Yah...”

    “Please.” He grinned widely and you couldn’t say no to that face he was making. This side of Kai isn’t that bad. You thought and slowly stood up from the bed. You glanced back towards Chanyeol who was still sleeping like a stock before you removed your coat and hung it on the chair. You were just wearing a plain over sized hoodie underneath since your coat was too thin to keep you warm. Taking out your phone you scrolled through your music and lightly chose an old hip hop song and placed it on the bed, speaker facing upwards. “Don’t laugh.” You told him before you stepped back from the bed. Kai’s eyes widened when the beat began and your arms started popping along to the low beat. The boy was amazed at how you could control your body like that, being able to move your muscles along to the beat and in different ways as well. You even added some leg movements together with the popping and he gaped at how robotic you looked and how smooth you moved.

    After a while you stopped and breathed out with a smile and stopped the music from playing. “That was amazing.” He whispered, his mouth still agape. “I- Whoa. That-“ You chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed again. “I learned most of the things I can today at a very young age.” You told him and he slowly nodded. “Teach me.”

    You turned to him with a raised eyebrow. “Teach me how to dance.” He gulped as he asked you, as if he was scared to what your reaction might be. You just stared for the boy for a moment before you twisting your lips. “I’ll think about it.” You muttered and a wide grin spread on his lips. “Really?” You nodded and sighed out. “You know Kim Jongin.” You used his real name and he blinked wide-eyed. “I think I like this side of you much better.” You told him with a small smile. A faint tint of pink appeared on his tanned cheeks and he was speechless for a moment. “Uh.” He gulped and looked away. “Thanks…” He mumbled and you just chuckled at the boys’ embarrassment and reached out to ruffle his dark hair, which he didn’t mind at all. “I need to go.” You told him and grabbed your coat, buttoning up for the cold morning weather. Kai turned to you with a pout on his plump lips. “I liked talking to you.” He mumbled and you smiled at this boy’s unknown cuteness. “Me too, Jongin-ah.” You stood beside him on the bed. “Me too.” You leaned down and planted a small kiss on his cheek, surprising the boy. He stared wide-eyed at you as you made your way towards the door. “So…” He mumbled, stopping you right in front of the door. “We…” He hesitated. “We’re cool? I mean… I really did mean it when I said I’m sorry.” You smiled. “Yeah, we’re cool. Get some rest alright?” A wide grin spread on his face as he nodded and you waved good-bye before leaving the room.

    “A-Ah!” A young nurse was startled when you closed the door behind you. “Miss!” She quickly bowed and you eyed her. You didn’t recognize her from before and you wondered if she was new. When she straightened her back, her face was flushed and she tried fixing the loose strands of her brown hair that managed to escape her ponytail. She cleared . “Good Morning.” She said in a small voice.

    “Good Morning.” You gave her a nod with your head. “May I ask whom you are?” You already read her nametag on her blue scrubs but wanted to ask anyway.

    “L-Lee S-Sora…” She mumbled. “I’m new here.” You nodded, ah, that explains why you didn’t recognize her from before. Newbie. “I’ve heard so much about you.” Her eyes widened as she smiled a shy smile. You lightly smiled back. “I…” She cleared . “I saw you when you were here with your brother the last time for a meeting. But I never got to introduce myself.” She said and looked down at her knotted fingers.

     “Ah, yes.” You were here with your brother for a meeting with the one in charge of this hospital. “We were just checking that every thing was all right.” You told her. Sometimes you and your brother did that just to check everything out. “How are you holding up here?” You asked and began walking down the hall and she followed.

    “I like it here! I’m learning a lot!” She smiled and you nodded. “That’s good.” You told her and gave a light nod to another nurse that just walked out of a room you were passing. Stopping in front of the elevator you pressed the button and waited for it. “I-I really admire you and your brother.” She mumbled and you just smiled at her. “Thank you.”

    The elevator arrived with a pling and you entered. You bid her good-bye and she happily waved as the doors slid closed.

    “Where were you?” Baekhyun asked as soon as you locked the door behind you. He was sitting on one of the kitchen chairs and literally ran towards you when you walked in. It was just a few minutes past eight and you left for the hospital around six, yes that early. “I was just out meeting my brother about something important.” You lied and hung your coat on one of the hooks. He breathed out, relieved. “I panicked when I found out you were gone.” He said and you chuckled before a yawn escaped your lips.

    Baekhyun smiled. “Still tired, Heesung?” He asked and you nodded. You had waked up too early to go and visit Kai and sleepiness was still in you. “I want to go back to sleep.” You mumbled and walked past him towards the loft. “May I join?” He asked still standing down there but kept his eyes on you. You rolled your eyes as you removed your jeans and replaced them with a pair of shorts. “Baekhyun, you’ve been sleeping here since yesterday.” You stated. “What can I say to go back to your room?” You asked and pulled the hoodie over your head, you were wearing one of Baekhyuns t-shirts underneath and when your head was free from the hoodie Baekhyun was in front of you grinning. “Absolutely nothing.” He answered you and you couldn’t help but chuckle.

    “It doesn’t bother you, does it?” He asked before he got under the covers. You shook your head. “I’m used to it.” You casually said and untied your hair. Baekhyun scowled. “Those maknaes?” He asked in a low voice and you rolled your eyes once again. “Yes, those maknaes.” You got under the covers as well, closest to the wall. “They’ve been doing that since we were young, it’s their thing.” You casually shrugged and Baekhyun frowned disapprovingly before he leaned his head on your shoulder.

    When Baekhyun woke he felt that you weren’t beside him. Furrowing his eyebrows he turned around and noticed you were sitting on the floor beside the mattress with your laptop, typing away. “You’re a fast typer.” He mumbled, still so sleepy. “I’m sorry.” You looked away from the screen. “Did I wake you?” He shook his head. “What are you doing?” He asked, his voice groggy. “Working.” You answered before turning your attention to the screen again. “There’s breakfast on the kitchen table. I already ate.” Baekhyun sat up with a light frown that you ate without him. He walked past you and down the stairs; his stomach growled when he saw and smelled all the food on the table. “Thank you!” He yelled from downstairs and you smiled to yourself as you continued typing.

    You were sitting on the mattress with your back leaning on the wall, your legs stretched out in front of you and the laptop in your lap. Baekhyun had heard your loud voice when he was in the shower after he ate and he wondered what you were doing. When he walked back up all dressed together with messy damp hair and a towel across his shoulder he noticed that you were on the phone. Silently taking a seat beside the mattress he noticed that your eyebrows were furrowed and you were listening to the other person speaking as you scrolled on, on your laptop. “What? No! … How about the other … Oh, all right … do they have all the details? … Good … Yes it can hold until Monday morning, but email just in case- Don’t worry about that! … I’ll print, sign and scan it back to you… They can wait … No we’re good, thank you.” He then watched you throw your phone onto the mattress letting it bounce. A heavy sigh left your body as you closed your eyes for a moment and rubbed your temples before opening them again to continue typing.

    He was amazed at how business like you just sounded during that conversation and how professional it looked even if you were still dressed in one of his t-shirts. “That was…” He mumbled. “So cool.” You stopped typing and looked up from the screen. “Cool?” You raised an eyebrow and he nodded. “So cool” He repeated and you chuckled, closing the laptop, leaning forward to place it on the floor beside your suitcase. “I guess.” You shrugged and scooted closer to him until you were sitting in front of him. “It’s just one of my daily calls that’s all.” You told him and he just nodded. “Want me to dry my hair for you?” You asked, distracting him from asking any other questions regarding your phone call. A wide grin spread on his lips before he quickly turned around, facing his back towards you. “Yes please.” He said and you took the towel from his shoulder and began drying his hair, beginning from the back of his head. Baekhyun closed his eyes and let you dry his hair, your touch making him relax so much he wanted to go back to sleep. “I’ll be going out with the guys.” He mumbled. “Except Sehun, he’s currently grounded.” You raised your eyebrows. “Oh? Why?”

    “He disobeyed his mother.” Baekhyun shrugged. “His mother is really strict.” You started ruffling the top of his head with the towel. “Oh, one of those mothers.” You muttered and Baekhyun laughed. “Yes, one of those.” He agreed and you just continued drying his hair.
