Soulmates •Book 1•

Chapter 29

"Wooyoung? You awake?" Yeosang calls softly, sniffling a few times as he tries to wake the younger up by shaking his shoulder, however, he only gets a low groan from him in return. "Young-ah~"

Yeosang starts to tug on Wooyoung's T-Shirt like a little kid trying to wake their parents, his pout slowly deepening by the second. When he sneezes suddenly and looks away, the faint squeaks escaping him causes Wooyoung to turn around and face him, the younger slowly opening his eyes so he could look up at him properly.

"What's wrong, Yeosang?" Wooyoung asks, pulling his blanket up to his eyes, sniffling a few times himself. He sends a suspicious glare towards the older when he starts rubbing his nape, his gaze shifting from everywhere but him.

He extends his arms to take the older's wrist, tugging it lightly to make boy look at him. When Yeosang turns around to face Wooyoung with a tired gaze, both boys lock eyes for a few seconds before the younger pulls Yeosang's hand, causing the latter to plop down on top of him with a soft grunt.

"You know if you wanna be clingy or cuddly, you don't have to ask, right?" Wooyoung asks, grabbing the rest of his blanket and draping it over the older.

"Yeah, I know... It just... Feels weird to ask for something like that..." Yeosang mumbles, curling his body on top of the younger's as he melts into his warmth.

"Are you saying that honestly or are you thinking about The Head of Soulmates?"

"The Head... I keep getting random shivers and sparks in my wrist..."

"You have any idea as to why this is happening?"

"I think I may have an idea, yes..."

"Spill, please."

"So... Do you remember our High School years? When we first started messing around with our stuff and got into a bit of trouble with some people?

"You don't think..."

"I think it may be because of that. If you know what event I'm even talking about."

"Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think about it quite frequently, actually. But, that's a little obscured, no? Paying the price of something we did years ago. I think they should've punished us then instead of making us wait until our adult years. Pretty stupid if you ask me."

"I know, it's really stupid but what if they-"

"Hey." Wooyoung starts, cutting Yeosang off by cupping his face and playing with his ears gently. He smiles contently as he watches the older melt into his touch and he chuckles lowly before continuing. "Don't let that little head of yours start overthinking, now. That's gets us nowhere and harms you. We've been through this plenty of times before. It'll be alright. No need to worry about this. Yes, we've been getting sparks, but the only way we'll really have to deal with this is if we get dragged up there. So, there's no need to worry, you hear?"

Yeosang nods his head softly and he finds himself falling asleep as Wooyoung continues playing with his ears. The younger notices and removes one of his hands to lay the older's head on his chest. He gets the latter comfortable by pulling the blanket higher up his body and continues caressing his helixes, watching at how Yeosang falls back asleep in a matter of seconds.

Wooyoung can't help but smile softly as he takes in the sight of the peaceful older. He leans in and plants a gentle kiss on the crown of Yeosang's head and wraps his arms around him. However, a feeling suddenly hits him and his smile quickly falters as he falls back against his pillow.

"The only time Yeosang's all cute and cuddly, it has to be ruined by my bladder. Damn you bladder..." Wooyoung mumbles, silently cursing his insides. He goes to reach for his phone on the nightstand, but lays back down with a groan when it's not there. "Alright... Yeosang is stressed, he is sick, and he needs to rest. You are not going to shove him off. No..."
