While Hyunjin returns to his work, Minho observes the latter's bedroom. It is so neat and simple. A queen size bed with a night table on each side, a study table near the door, and a huge white closet.

The walls are painted with white. No book collection despite the job that he currently takes. No fairy lights hanging on the wall or a shelf full of figurines or photographs. Then looking at the study table, Minho notices that almost all of it is work related stuffs.

One can learn about others by simply looking at their bedroom. But this...

"Isn't this too empty?" Minho thought.

Mentally sighing, he takes a sit on the chair. Eyes move back to focus its gaze on the beautiful male who is busy typing on his laptop.

"Guess I need to learn more about you through other ways." He grins.

"Doing it like normal people suddenly doesn't sound so bad now."

"I think I'm going to sleep." Hyunjin announces in his sleepy voice, cutting Minho's thought.

"No one is stopping you."

The younger nods before making his way to the bathroom.

"Are you... gonna stay the night?" The librarian asks hesitantly once he finishes cleaning his face.

"No. But I want to stay until you fall asleep if that's okay."

"Mm." He then walks to his bed with cheeks tint with red.

"Aren't you sleepy?" The younger asks. He is comfortably lying on the soft mattress now with fluffy blanket all over him. It is late winter and still quite cold.

"Not yet."

"Me too. I feel refreshed now. I don't know if I'll sleep anytime soon." He lies.

But Minho catches it.

"Hmmm." He smirks. "Should I put you to sleep then?"

"I uh... I suddenly feel sleepy now." Hyunjin turns his body around, no longer facing Minho.

A satisfied laugh slips the older's mouth at the adorable action. He then approaches the gay-panicked male, placing his hand to stroke Hyunjin's smooth hair.

At that, the younger turns his body around again. He sighs contentedly while enjoying the feeling of Minho's hand on his hair; it slowly lulls him to sleep.

"Dream about me." He whispers then places a light kiss on the other's forehead.
