"Good morning.", a familiar voice woke you up.
It's Hoaegi.

You got up from your bed and tried to analyze things.
You're in Hoya's house already?

"What? Confused?", Hoya asked.
You nodded, still trying to gather up your soul.

"You both went home so late at night, and that silly boy forgot to bring his key."

Oh yeah, you remembered how stupid you and Daehyun were last night, waiting in front of his house without knowing what to do.
But then how did you end up here, in Hoya's house, without realizing a thing?

"You two are the same.", Hoya continued, "I think after some time doing nothing and not knowing what to do, you both fell asleep. In front of Daehyun's house. And that's when I came to check the weird sound I heard from the outside, to find two stupid adults sleeping in front of their own house."

"......", you still haven't gathered up your soul perfectly.
Half of you is still in another galaxy.

"Hey did you hear me?", Hoya asked while your head, "Still sleepy, uh?"
"..............", you said nothing.
He smiled, "Just go back to sleep. I'll be waiting outside."
He was walking to go outside the room, when you grabbed his hand.

"...mwo?", he got confused.
You didn't let go of his hands.
He smiled, "What is it this time, aegi? You don't want me to leave?"
You nodded.
He smiled again, "But aren't you still sleepy?"
You nodded once more.
"....Then?", his face shows how much he got confused.

"Today is your turn, right?", you said with half your eyes still closed.
"Yep. But you're still tired so we can't go outside yet-"
"Just stay here for today.", you stated.
"Hm?"
"Just stay at home. Let's enjoy how newbrides would be.", you said and went back to sleep.

With you going back to sleep and laid on the bed, Hoya's hands- which you don't take off from your hands- followed.
Which causes Hoya's body also fell to the bed.
Lucky the bed is huge enough for him not to lay on you.
With his weight over you, you won't survive. 
He might need give you another life if that ever happens.

So you went back to your sleeping galaxy,
with Hoya your hair softly beside you.

He smiled looking at you.
He doesn't stop smiling while looking at you and your hair.

"I love you, aegi.", he said, and end it with a lovely kiss on your forehead.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You opened your eyes. Once again.
This time, you're finally fully awake.

You can feel a muscular hand over your body, hugging you from the side.
You turned your face around to see the owner of the hand's face.
It's Hoya.

You smiled and turned your body over.
You're now looking at him, face to face, on the bed, in his house, with him hugging you.
To be thinking about it, it almost feels like a dream.

You recounted how much you adore this guy from a far, back when you were still a teenager.
And as time goes by, you grew up to find this guy loving you.
And you loving him, as always.

It's like magic.

You moved your hands to touch his face.
You realized his face is just perfectly handsome and doesn't have any difference with or without make-up.
He's just beautiful.

You his hair and touched his face.
His eyes, his nose, his lips...
Oh you gotta miss this face someday.
eh? what are you talking about?

But to be having this kind of perfection in his face,
and perfection in his personality too...
You feel guilty at how someone like him could fall in love with a girl like you.
A girl from a far.
A girl with so much secrets untold.
Yet he loves you like he has known everything.
Will he still love you if he figure out your secret?

Like an automatic machine, you kissed him.
To feel his lips once more, to feel his gentle warmth once more.
Why are you acting like you're going to leave him?

"Mmh...... awake already, baby?", Hoya said with his eyes still closed.
"Eh?! You're awake?!", you got shocked because you tought he's still sleeping.
"Doesn't a true love kiss always wakes up the long sleep?", he said.
You blushed. "Stop being greasy."
"But you love it.", he opens his eyes and tighten his hug.
"I do.", you smiled and pull your body closer to his.

Your face and his face are so close right now.
You can see how perfect his face is.
You can feel his breath.

You closed your eyes.
This is like, the most comfortable place on earth.
Feels like the safest place in the whole galaxy.
The warmest place in all of milky way.

You can feel his lips starting to kiss your neck.
You giggled, "What are you doing.."
"I'm tasting sweetness.", he said.
You smiled and let him kiss you all over again.
This aegi sure has grown his greasiness.

".....I love you..", you whispered to his ear.
He stopped his kissing and pull his face closer to your face.
"What? I can't hear you.", he teased.
"I love you!", you repeeated.
"Hm?", he continued kissing your neck.
You blushed at howhis kiss has changed.
He was doing it gently and now wildly.

"I.. ngh..", you can barely speak.
"What?", he began to your ears.
"Ng.......gh......."
"I can't hear you, you-ssi."
"S...sto..stop.."
"Hm?"
"Stop it, aegi.."
"Why should I?"
"Be..because..."
"What?", he goes even more and more wild, kissing you through your chest and shoulder.

You can't take it.
This feels too good to be true,
but the action you did to him was to pull his head slowly and to make him see you eye-to-eye.

"Because I love you and I want to do it to you too.", you said.
He smiled.

"Then do me.", he smirked.

Alright. Game on, Lee Howon.

You kissed him like it's the last day on earth.
As he promised, he's the receiving person now and you're the giver.
You always receive his kisses, he always teases you with his appeals..
Now you want to do him too.
You want him to enjoy you, too.

You can feel his breath goes deeper and heavier.
His fingers went through your PJs, touching your body.
It's so hot right now.
But you love the heat.

"Say it once more, you.", he said while his breath goes heavier.
"I. LOVE. YOU, Lee Howon."

And he smiled, as he blushed like a fully-riped tomato.

"I've never seen you blush like this.", you laughed.
"It's because you've never done me this far."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You both went out from the room.

You can still feel the heat in your cheek, but you're hungry and you need breakfast, so who cares.
It's gotta be only Hoya's mom in the house, so why worry?

You walked to the kitchen with Hoya behind you,
to find Jung freakin Daehyun sitting nicely in the dining table, eating toast like he has not eaten a thing in the past two months.

"Now what is this stupid kid doing here?", Hoya asked.
"I'm not a kid, okay?", Daehyun replied. "Besides, I thought it was you who brought me up here last night?"
"That's true, but I thought you'll go back to your own house after waking up."
"Wait, what actually happened last night?", you asked. You don't know what are they talking about.

"I've told you, right, aegi, this stupid kid forgot his key and you both fell asleep in front of his house.
I checked because I heard voices from outside,
and I found you both sleeping like two lost kids.
So I brought you both here to my lovely house, because I love you and I pity him.", Hoya explained.

"Eish if you only pity me, you won't put me in your huge comfortable room while sacrificing yourself to sleep in the sofa.", Daehyun said, still eating.
"I've told you I pity you. I pity you that much.", Hoya answered.
"Whatever. You love me."
"Said the guy who gave me a blanket while he found me sleeping in the sofa this morning.", Hoya quipped him.

You laughed.
They just love each other that much, why won't they just admit it?

"Thanks for the blanket, Jung Daehyun.", Hoya quipped Daehyun once again.
"Yeah. I found it on the backyard with lots of dirt so I gave it to you.
Because I pity you that much too.", Daehyun answered.

"Oh thanks for pitying me, but this is my house and these are my stuffs, so I know which blankets are dirty and which ones are still perfectly clean and fresh from the washing machine."
"Shut up. I just found it in the corner near your bed."
"No you didn't. I put that one safely in my wardrobe. On the upper shelf. You can never find it if you don't look around."
"Suit yourself.", Daehyun gave up.
"Okay. Just make sure you tidy up my wardrobe. Like I said, that blanket was perfectly put in the middle of the upper shelf. And the upper shelf is way up there, you won't reach it without any chair. Even I have to use a chair to take stuffs from that shelf.
And my room currently has no chair, so my guessing is you ruined my whole wardrobe and all the stuffs in it.
I will not complain, because I really appreciate and I really like your choice of blanket, but please.. Tidy my room.", Hoya explained and left to the bathroom.

"Eish that jerk.", Daehyun grumbled.
You giggled, "Why don't you just admit it?"
"How can I admit it when he acts like that?"
You laughed, "You two are just the same."
"Help me to tidy up his room?", he pleased.
You laughed once more, "Alright."

You finished your breakfast and went to Hoya's room.
You opened the room, and, yep. Hoya was right.
It was absolute chaos.

You looked to the upper shelf Hoya was talking about.
There are still some blankets there.
And there are lots of blankets on the floor too, maybe fell from that upper shelf.
From what you see, you can conclude Daehyun was picking which blanket he wanted to give to Hoya.
He wanted this specific blanket and no other. He ignored all the other comfy blankets.
"Why?", you finally asked.

"Huh? Why what?", Daehyun said while tidying the falling blankets and shirts.
"Why it gotta be that blanket? I mean, look at this. There are blankets falling down, means there are blankets that were put on the blanket you gave him.
Plus, there are even blankets on the shelf below the upper shelf too.
There are blankets everywhere but why must you give him this specific blanket?", you got curious.

He smiled, "It's his favorite.", and he continued tidying stuffs.

Just three words, but you know how meaningful it is.
Anyone could conclude that these two has known each other that far. That close.
And any normal persons will never bother to ruin the sweet brotherhood.. right?

"I remembered how he always bring this blanket. Everywhere, everytime.
Even when we were playing in the dirt.
And when his blanket got dirty, he stopped everything he did and went back to his house,
telling his mom to wash it and dry it as soon as possible, 
so he can still sleep with it at night.", Daehyun said.

"Until one day, he forgot where he put it.", he laughed, "He was searching so hard all over the house, he was like a man who loses his wife. And not to mention he was almost seventeen when he be so."

You realized something, "Seventeen? So it was right before he-"
"Left the house, yep.", Daehyun said, "Day by day, he thought his blanket was lost. He was getting over his lost blanket when I, one day, got home and found his blanket slipped in the middle of the vases on my backyard.
I said it to him too, right? That I found it on the backyard. It was referring to this case.
But he wanted to make it fun and only understandable by us both, so he referred to something else."

He continued, "I was going to give it to him rightaway, but I remembered his birthday were close.
So I washed it and kept it until his birthday.
And on his 17th birthday, well, yeah.. that happened."

You remembered the old misunderstandings between them once again.

"And the blanket?"
"I kept it in the box with a long letter inside it. I put it in his room, in the corner of his room he rarely spend time at, so he can't see so blankly. I think I said it too earlier, right? About the corner and stuff... just so he knows who actually put it there. Even though he will absolutely know after he opened the box and read the letter."

He continued, "...I put it there and went to the living room, practicing my song present in front of his mom, when he came and got the wrong idea about what was that all about."

"And the box?", you asked.

"It was never been found. I never wanted to bother to think about it again. It was there in his room for years. Untouched.
I think it's only this time he found it. Like I said, i put it in the corner he rarely spends time at. Almost never.
Year by year he went home, he never stayed long. Maybe only one or two days, and it was filled of family gatherings and stuffs.
He would never have time to bother around his huge room.
Only this time he has time to tidy up his whole room. his mom must told him to do so, too.
And now, five years after I gave him the box, he finally opened it."

"And the letter is still in there?"
"Of course. When he opened it, he'll be 17 all over again.", Daehyun laughed.

"So when you both argued earlier, actually it was you who won the argument?"
"Not really.", he sighed, "That jerk is always a jerk. Look what I found in the middle of that lovely blanket of his, when I found it in the middle of the shelf, perfectly in the middle of everything else.", he pointed to a paper he left on the table.

You walked closer and you read what's written on the paper,

Thank you for the long-lost blanket,
my long-lost brother!
I'll never let the things I love, lost again.

This refers to the blanket.
But this refers to you, too.

"You could never know what kind of feelings I felt,
when I opened the blanket to put it on him,
and this little paper fell down,
and I grabbed the little paper and read it in front of the sleeping hyung I always adore.
You don't know how touched I was and how I just wanted to cry and hug him so tight and never let go.", Daehyun explained.

You're amazed yourself.
At how strong their brotherhood is.
At how sweet their brotherhood is..

One lost a blanket, one found it, one wants to give it back and waited for one's birthday,
but then one misunderstood things and left,
and when the brotherhood is completely restored and one found the box from five years earlier,
one kept the blanket safe in the middle of his wardrobe,
with a paper slipped in the middle of the blanket,

like he knows someday his brother will open the blanket for him.

Funny how the jokes and quips they threw earlier were actually not jokes at all.
Funny how it was actually a deep message that only them could understand.
It's like they're speaking their own language,
and no outsider would ever understand that.
