it's quiet in my house. not a single sound is heard as the entirety of my family sleeps, including jaemin. the boy left my room close to an hour before so he could get his beauty rest.
after hyunjin left our group, jaemin started to use the guest bedroom for when he slept over, just like the other boy did. he didn't dare touch any of hyunjin's clothes that still stayed in the drawers, but he slept in the bed under the warm comforters and used the extra bathroom to his advantage.
i lay in my own comfortable bed, the thick blankets of it cover me and i feel like i'm a caterpillar wrapped in a warm cocoon, waiting to come out and burst into a new individual.
benny curls up next to me and i watch as his stomach rises and falls with every breath. he lays on his back with one of his black paws in the air and every now and then it twitches, i softly laugh whenever it does.
my eyes start to get heavy as i stare out the window, looking at the dark sky and the soft light the moon brings down to us.
as soon as my eyelids shut, my door opens and i'm awake. i turn at the noise. jaemin stands looking quite like a 5 year old. he's in an old tattered t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. he has some fuzzy slippers that are too small for his feet on, he stole them from me after he saw the cute little bunnies on them.
i softly laugh when i notice his hair is going every direction possible.
he shuffles inside my room and closes the door behind him. it takes him a while before he reaches me and groans. i move over and open the covers so he can join.
as soon as they're lifted up, he slips right into them and comes closer to me. he reminds much of a child with the way he curls up next to me.
"you okay?" i ask him in a slightly-raspy voice. jaemin nods as he lays his head on my chest. "yeah, i'm okay" he says quietly, it's close to a whisper, "i just want to spend as much time with you as i can."
his arms wrap around my waist and he pulls me body even closer. if we get even just a tiny bit closer, our bodies would merge into one.
my eyes start to fall again but again as soon as they shut, jaemin moves and speaks making me wake up. "can we go somewhere?" he asks looking up at me. i furrow my eyebrows at his question. "right now?" i ask him, turning to look at the clock across my room.
