Jongin

Since I had been with Kyungsoo all day at practice, the bully didn't show up, and the little guy seemed quite pleased with no interruptions. No matter how much he said he didn't care, I knew he did. Even if he didn't feel pain, it still must've bothered him, even if he didn't notice it himself. 

"You have your book, right?" he asked when we walked up the stairs to his room as he finally had arrived to his house, and I smiled awkwardly whilst scratching the back of my neck. 

"Uhm, I actually forgot to bring it with me," I muttered embarrassed. 

He sighed with a disapproval look at me. "Really? How could you forget it?" he asked, obviously annoyed, but I just giggled embarrassed. 

I didn't want that to stop us from studying though. "I'll just read with you," I said as I sat even closer to him by the small table he had on the floor. I rested my head on his shoulder as I read through the book as well, and he seemed pretty tense at first, but he eventually relaxed afterwards. "You don't need to be shy. It's only us, and we're friends, right? Just be natural, and be yourself," I said reassuringly, and he slowly nodded in response. 

We ended sitting like that for around an hour until we finished reading together. We were both pretty tired, and I could barely manage to keep my eyes open. 

I fished out my notebook and a pencil to write in it, and when I placed it on the table, I saw Kyungsoo resting on it with his head on his arm. 

I giggled to myself and waved my hands in front of his face. "Kyungsoo," I sang with a low whispering voice, "are you asleep?" He didn't respond - or even open his eyes - so I was guessing he was either ignoring me or actually fell asleep that quick. 

I chuckled softly and laid my head down beside him and looked at him. He made different grimaces and I mimicked them one after another; I was amazed he even could do that. He must've been dreaming as he kept on with it, but suddenly he started speaking. 

"Jongin?" I wasn't sure if he was awake or not, but I still answered him. 

"I'm here," I said softly.
