hansol wakes up to the sound of steps in the hallway. soon the steps near his apartment and he hears the door unlocking. it must be jiho coming back from a party. jiho's steps are soft as he approaches hansol's bed to check if he's asleep. hansol closes his eyes and evens out his breathing. jiho worries about him too much sometimes - it doesn't make hansol angry, just frustrated.

he has trouble falling asleep again. he can hear jiho's soft breathing from the other side of the room. hansol lies awake, on his back, staring at the ceiling. his vision is strangely blurry and his eyes burn slightly. after what feels like an hour, he gets up and takes his blanket to the living room. he settles down there, on the cold leather couch, wrapping himself in the blanket. hansol turns on the tv, lowering the volume to the minimum. he switches from channel to channel, mostly only r-rated action movies and ty reruns of reality tv are on at this time though. he stops on a retro music channel and watches bowie dance in high heels. his breathing calms and he closes his eyes not long after.
