Fight For You

I'm laying on my back staring at the ceiling when I feel Moonbyul unwrap her arm from my waist and turn over in bed with her back to me. She wiggles back super close to me, a sign she wants me to hold her instead. I stretch a little and turn over on my side after I wrap my arm around her waist I feel her sigh in contentment so I press a few soft kisses to her neck and rub her side before I nestle my face in her neck and try to get some sleep.

I've been in and out of sleep for the past two hours, and it's driving me crazy. I tossed and turned for a while so Moonbyul laid on me to try to calm me down, but she must have gotten too warm, because she rolled off of me 500 sheep ago, yep I'm counting sheep, and instead just cuddled close in my side. My mind is racing with everything that has happened today. The trip to Jeju was supposed to be relaxing, an escape from Seoul for a while. I wanted to see my parents, hang out with Seojoon and Bogum and show Byul a side of me she's never seen before, well she's seen my caring side but I wanted to show her more of my past, I should say. The last thing I wanted was to see Erika and on top of seeing her, she fucking tried to kiss me, and right in front of Moonbyul. I could have lost Byul tonight, but lucky for me she trusts me whole-heartedly and is one of the most patients and understanding people in the world, but the whole scenario just pisses me off. I can't help but think Nabi has something to do with Erika being at the bar.

"Y...Yong..." I hear Moonbyul say softly. "Loosen up," She rasps out while tapping my arm.

I look down and realize how tight I'm holding her. "Sorry," I reply back to her as I rub her side soothingly. "Sorry, honeyb," I repeat as I kiss her on the neck again.

"What's wrong?" Moonbyul asks softly while glancing over her shoulder at me.

"I can't sleep," I whisper to her.

Moonbyul turns around to face me and cups my cheek as she leans forward and presses our lips together briefly. "Do you want me to get you some warm milk?" She asks sweetly while stroking my hair. "Or do you want a massage? That always helps you sleep better."

"No thanks, get some rest baby, go back to sleep," I tell her as I rub her back to coax her back to sleep. "I'll fall asleep eventually," I add as I kiss her forehead softly while she nods sleepily and closes her eyes. 

I keep pressing soft kisses to her face as she drifts back to sleep. Once I know Byul is sleeping peacefully again and I carefully slide out of bed and head to the kitchen to grab a drink of water.

 As soon as I close the bedroom door, I rub my eyes and head to the kitchen. I stop in the living room when I see Joon sitting on the couch playing a video game. 

"Hey," I rasp out before clearing my throat.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, okay?" He asks while pausing the game and looking up at me. "Is the bed not comfortable?"

"Your bed is fine Joon, I just can't stay asleep and I don't want my tossing and turning wake up Byul," I shrug.

"Are you two okay?" He asks quickly.

"Yeah," I nod with a small smile. "I'm lucky she's so understanding."

"Damn right, any other chick would have caused a scene," He laughed out.

"Do you have two bottles of water?" I ask him while stretching.

"Yeah, in the fridge door," He nods. "Grab me one too."

I come back with the bottles of water and sit on the arm of the couch while he finishes his game. "Why are you up?" I then ask him while handing him the water.
