With you (Eunbi)

My friends helped me with this one.







Nervously playing with her hair, Eunbi quietly entered the room rented in the tavern for the night. It was the first time the group led by Y/n decided to rest in a public place, and even though she wouldn't admit it the girl was still afraid someone would recognize her, and she would have been taken back to the assassin's guild by force.
More because of habit than of need, she carefully studied her surroundings before finally letting her exhausted body free to fall on the bed.
After the first few moments of surrender to the tiredness, her thoughts started flowing now that she was alone. It was already a couple of months she was traveling with Y/n, despite him not talking much, being rather cold, and not even wanting to tell her why they were traveling; her instinct would have normally told her to just leave him be and go traveling by her own, exploring to her heart's desire and maybe finally meeting her charming prince...but there was something deep within her, that compelled her to stay at that young man's side.
There was something about him that gave off a...dark aura, but she felt so inexplicably attracted by him, just like a moth drawn to a flame. Yes, Y/n wasn't much to give affection, but they had their moments together, funny, touching, sweet...little but deep moments burned into her memory, something that other people would dismiss but that she felt very special. It was in those moments that she felt heart-to-heart with Y/n.

"That's good," she silently told to herself "that'd mean we're friends..." at that thought, a small smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, and the girl let out a giggle.
The poor guy really seemed like he needed friends. He hinted at his tragic past in one of their moments, and even if he was pretty vague about it she could see the pain and sadness in his eyes. Despite the facade, Eunbi was firmly convinced that Y/n was a good person, just turned bitter by what life threw at him. And she wanted to do her best to ease his pain, even if just a little. And with a smile on her face and sweetly naive thoughts in her mind, she slowly drifted off in her own dreamland.

Time skip...

She felt like screaming, but her assassin's instinct told her not to. Instead, she quietly and slowly looked around her, only to be welcomed by darkness.
Eunbi slowly rose in a sitting position. After studying the room another time, she let out a sigh: another nightmare. It wasn't uncommon of her to have reoccurring nightmares; being an assassin was something that left a deep scar within her soul, and it just wouldn't mend so easily. This time though, it was more vivid than usual. It was probably because she was worried about being in a public place. All alone.
She shuddered at the realization of that and went out to the balcony to try to ease her mind. Her gaze went to the balcony adjacent to hers...maybe, just maybe, he was still awake...but would he comfort her? The girl clenched her small hands on her clothes, feeling the urge to just leap the distance between them and sleep at his side like they used to. She needed it. She wanted to know someone was there beside her.
With an agile jump, she just climbed onto the balcony next to her and silently spied into the room, her eyes searching for his owner. There he was, sitting on his bed, crouched while holding something...something small...

"...Y/n?"

The young man quickly got a hold of his sword and instinctively launched himself at the stranger, holding back upon seeing it was just his bubbly teammate.

"What the...Eunbi? What are you doing here, in my room, at this hour of the night? I could...I could've killed you!" he panted stepping back, taken by surprise.
"Tehee, killed me? Not with such unbalanced, rushed movements versus my ready reflexes and agility! And anyways...now we'd be finally even, isn't it?" she giggled at him with a wink. How they met and how Eunbihad almost killed him was one of those things they often used to jokingly argue about.

"But alas, you can't sleep, as well? I was coming here because I couldn't sleep, so..." her voice faded out with hints of insecureness and embarrassment.
She knew Y/n wasn't one to fall for sentimentalisms or to show affection, and she didn't want to admit she was afraid to sleep without him...he'd probably just shrug it off and send her back to her room...
Y/n interrupted her thoughts: "...why don't you just go to your father's room then? Why did you come to me?" there was exasperation and annoyance in his voice, but also a hint of curiosity.
"O-oh! Father was already asleep and he gets so easily worried about me, he needs to rest, I don't want to unnecessarily bother him anymore...!" she quickly lied, her words rushing out and her cheeks turning red. The truth was that she didn't even think about her father. She knew she had to be near Y/n, period.
"So...you thought it'd be okay to bother me instead?"
