Ryujin looked to her wife and ran her thumb over that old bracelet. Even after all these years, the couple still kept it with them. Of course, they had collected a variety of couple items, but these bracelets are the most precious to them. It was a symbol of their long-lasting friendship, that eventually evolved to something more.

’Even after all these years, thank you for staying with me Jisu.’ Ryujin thought, leaning over to kiss Jisu’s forehead. The older girl squirmed in her sleep at the feeling of the kiss but settled down again in the arms of her lover. A big smile now on her face.

”I...love you...Ryujinie.” the girl mumbled in her sleep, causing Ryujin to smile as well.

’Ever since that day, our lives really have changed.’

Several years ago:

The day after Ryujin’s last day at Jisu’s house wasn’t easy for either girl. From seeing each other so much every day to only seeing each other in the morning and at school was such a big change. Even if it was just a week, the two girls enjoyed their time together so much that they couldn't help but miss each other. 

It was now night time and Ryujin was ready for bed. She finished reading a part of her Harry Potter book, and left the rest for more days to come. Stretching her arms, she laid down on her bed and tucked herself under her soft blanket. She reached out and closed her bedside lamp and let out a yawn, finally shutting her eyes. 

’I miss sleeping beside Jisu-unnie.’ was the last thing on her mind, before she drifted off to sleep.

Ryujin was suddenly awakened by some soft chattering outside her door. She wondered if it was already time for school, but when she clearly looked outside her window, she saw that it was still night time. What were they doing outside her door this late? She fumbled for her bedside lamp and turned it on as she sat up on her bed.

”...made sure to lock the doors of your house?” she heard her mother say. Who was she talking to?

”I’m not that irresponsible Auntie...” she heard another, softer and cuter voice reply. The rest of their conversation was muffled, but Ryujin didn't need to hear more to know who the other person was.

What was her Jisu-unnie doing in her house at- Ryujin looked to her clock, which displayed the time- 11:20? She was too curious and she ended up standing and opening the door.

”Jisu-unnie? What are you doing here?” she asked in a rough voice. The two people outside her room turned their heads to the youngest person in the house. Ryujin noticed that Jisu was still wearing her sky blue pajamas with her little plush toy cradled in her arms. 

”Ryujinie! I’m sorry, did we wake you up?” Jisu asked worriedly. 

”Yeah, you kinda did. It's fine though. Anyway, what are you doing here so late unnie?”

”Uhh, I...” Jisu ended up fumbling over words to properly answer her best friend. 

”She sneaked out from her house because she couldn't sleep without you Ryujin-ah.” Ryujin’s mother answered for her, and Jisu couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. The eldest turned to the girl beside her.

”Don’t you know how dangerous it is to do that Jisu-yah? It's so late, who knows who would have been out there. I know we only live a few houses away, but still!” she continued exasperated.

”I’m really sorry Auntie. I’m sorry too Ryujinie, for waking you up. I know it was only yesterday that you slept over, but I just really miss my best friend.”

”It’s okay unnie, I missed you too.” Ryujin went up to Jisu and embraced her cutely. The youngest girl turned to her mother, still hugging her best friend.

”Mom, can Jisu-unnie sleep with me? It's too late for her to go back home, and I don't want to disturb Auntie and Uncle when it's so late. I promise we won't cause any trouble. I’ll explain to Auntie and Uncle Choi about what happened tomorrow too.” Ryujin’s mother contemplated for a few seconds, but decided to agree with her daughter. It wouldn't do to wake her friends when it's so late. And Ryujin was right. It was dangerous for Jisu to go home now, even with company.

”Fine. Sleep now, you two. You still have school tomorrow and it wouldn't be good if you stay up any longer. I’ll send a text to Jisu’s mother, so that they wouldn't be worried when they wake up. Good night Ryujin, Jisu.” She left a kiss on both girls’ foreheads and then the older woman entered her room.

Leading her Jisu-unnie by the hand, the two entered Ryujin’s room. They laid down on the bed and Ryujin closed her lamp once more. The older girl then hugged her best friend and nuzzled her face in her hair. She inhaled the familiar scent of Ryujin and led out a sigh of relief, beginning to feel sleepy.

”I’m really sorry Ryujin. I didn't know I'd be like this after the sleepovers.” Jisu began.

”It’s fine unnie. Stop apologizing because I don't mind having you here.” Ryujin embraced the older girl and nuzzled her face in the crook of Jisu’s neck.

”And I missed you too.” Ryujin mumbled, just loud enough for her unnie to hear.

”Oh Ryujinie. You’re really the best, you know that?”

”Yeah I know. You can't sleep now without me after all.” Ryujin said smugly. Jisu felt her smirk on her neck, but chose not to pay any mind to it, too overcome by the exhaustion and sleepiness hitting at once. She simply ruffled Ryujin’s hair.

”Yeah yeah whatever. I’m the clingy one.” she mumbled sleepily. The two simply laid in each other's embrace, slowly drifting off to sleep.

”Ryujin.”

”Jisu-unnie?”

”Thank you.”

”Anything for you unnie. Even if it means being your personal teddy bear.” At this point, Jisu was so close to sleeping that she didn't even retort and only said her true feelings.

”I like the sound of that.” was the last thing they both heard before truly falling asleep. They felt happy and safe in each other's warmth and wouldn't have it any other way.

Jisu simply chose to ignore the frantic beating of her heart and followed her favorite person in sleep.

Flashback End

Looking back, Ryujin couldn't believe they haven't noticed the obvious. They really were oblivious, like what their family and their friends say. After all, they only became a couple in their college days.

If Ryujin analyzed it properly, she could see that even back when they were kids, they already depended on each other so much. Jisu’s inability to sleep without her carried on up until this day, albeit not as bad as when they were younger. It was so bad that Jisu’s parents wanted to separate the two for a time but within the first day, the two were already feeling miserable. Both of their parents had no choice but to allow Jisu to continue being with Ryujin every night. Thankfully, by the older girl’s senior year in high school, Jisu only needed a simple ’Good night’ from her younger friend to fall asleep. 

Though both of them had to admit that they always slept best in each other’s arms. Even now, Ryujin will always be Jisu’s teddy bear.

Ryujin then shivered at the memory of her senior year in high school. That was the year where Jisu was far away in college, while she was stuck in high school. She remembered senior Ryujin wishing for time to go faster. And she remembered how freshman Jisu constantly called her every week, whining about how she missed her and how she should just hurry up and graduate. She couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

”What are you laughing about Ryujin?” she suddenly heard her wife mumble sleepily. Ryujin focused her gaze towards her and smiled even wider.

”It’s nothing unnie. I just remembered something.” With that, Jisu looked her in the eye.

”What happened to calling me...” Jisu caught herself and stopped saying any more. It was too embarrassing!

”Oh? So, you finally admit that you like all the pet names, Mrs. Shin?” Ryujin asked with a teasing tone. She saw Jisu’s face turning red and laughed. Even her adorable wife still wasn't used to it. Their marriage really brought pure joy to the both of them.

”Shut up and let me sleep Shin Ryujin.” Jisu replied, trying to act grumpy, removing herself from Ryujin’s embrace and turning away from her grinning wife. However, the happiness in her tone was clear to the both of them.

Ryujin simply hugged her from behind and brought her closer again.

”Whatever you wish, love.” she whispered in Jisu’s ear. She felt her wife shiver in her arms and she smiled triumphantly.

Jisu turned to face Ryujin once more and brought her arms around the younger’s waist. Ryujin couldn't help but notice that Jisu’s hold was tighter than her own.

”I hate you.” she said softly. Ryujin simply leaned in and pressed her lips against her wife’s forehead.

”Let’s sleep now. I know how much you love it.” Jisu looked at the girl in the eye. Without a word, she leaned in and captured Ryujin’s lips with her own. The younger girl reciprocated without a pause and moved her lips against Jisu’s soft ones. They separated a few seconds later and they looked at each other with pure love and adoration.

Jisu then buried her face in Ryujin’s chest and the blue-haired girl knew she wouldn't receive another word.

”Sweet dreams Jisu. I love you.” she said, closing her eyes and falling back to sleep. Thankfully, it was a Sunday so they could sleep in a little longer.

’I can't help but feel I’m forgetting something very important though.’ was Ryujin’s final thought.

Bonus:

Unbeknownst to the married couple, both their phones were vibrating wildly on their desks.
