"So how do you feel?" I quietly glanced up from the dishes I was washing, as Sunoo had spoken his question.

"What do you mean?" I questioned in amusement as a small smile spread on his face.

"Suddenly living alone," he clarified and I simply shrugged in return.

"I've been used to it whenever mom and dad had to go somewhere with work, but... I do feel like... I feel a bit hopeless, I'd like to know the process of investigating my parents. I wish I could see them," I murmured and he frowned at me.

"You're not told anything?" he questioned me and I simply shook my head.

"I wish I was," I let out a half-hearted laugh, "but it's not gonna be that easy, and I know that. I just have to wait until they get home again. Dad hopefully sooner than mom. I miss him."

Sunoo hummed softly as I finished washing the dishes and turned to him. He grinned widely the moment we had gotten eye contact, only resulting in me being utterly confused.

"What?" I questioned and he just continued to grin widely, "why are you looking at me like that?" I let out a flustered laugh as he continued to just stand and look weirdly at me, "eish... I'm just gonna go and get ready for bed then."

"I wanna go too," Sunoo immediately stated and followed close behind me as I walked down to my bedroom to grab my pajamas.

"You wanna borrow some pajamas?" I questioned him as he just stood still in his spot and looked at me, "you can borrow some of my dad's."

"No it's fine... I'll just sleep in my shirt and pants," Sunoo waved it off and I just looked at him in disbelief, "it'll be fine. Trust me."

"Suit yourself," I commented with a small laugh.

I helped Sunoo find an unused toothbrush he could borrow. Meanwhile I changed into my pajamas down in my bedroom, before rushing out to brush my teeth as well.

"You look cute," Sunoo let out a small laugh after having spit out into the sink.

"What?" I questioned and looked down at myself. It was a hand-me-down from Tania, a pair of pants that was a bit too long, as well as a shirt that was just on the verge of being a bit too big for me.

"I think you look cute," he repeated as I just brushed my teeth and looked at him with a weirded look on my face, "I do."

"Hm," I hummed as I continued to brush my teeth.

I quietly brushed my teeth as Sunoo just stood in the doorway and waited for me to finish, once I did I quickly rushed to a cupboard to grab a blanket and pillow before showing Sunoo down to my room and gesturing to my bed.

"You go to sleep," I offered and he just looked at me in confusion, "What?" I questioned as he just looked at me with confusion written all over his face, "I will sleep on the couch."

"But it's your bed," he pointed out and I just nodded in agreement.

"But I'm not letting you sleep on the couch," I clarified.

"Well..." Sunoo trailed off as he just looked at my bed before looking back to me, "But-" he sighed as he sucked in a deep breath and pursed his lips.

"What is it?" I questioned with a small laugh, "it's alright Sunoo, you can sleep in my bed. I don't mind."

"But then..." he slowly trailed off before looking over at me, "will it be weird for me to request you sleeping by my side?" he questioned and I looked at him in shock, "will it?"

"I uhm... no I don't think so," I muttered as I looked back at my bed with confusion.

"Then... come here," Sunoo softly spoke and grabbed the pillow and blanket from my hands, softly placing both on the ground.

He softly grabbed my hand and tugged me along towards the bed before sitting down and pulling me down with him.

"You know what?" he questioned and I quietly shook my head, "I wanna visit more," he grinned before tackling me down onto the bed, with a tight hug as I let out a small laugh along with him.

"Well... I can't stop you," I pointed out with a small  laugh as I rolled over on my back and stuck my legs under my duvet.

"Nope," Sunoo proudly shook his head as he turned onto his side and propped his head up on his palm while he just looked down at me.

"What?" I questioned in amusement.

"I just think you're really pretty," he excused and softly pushed from hair out of my face.

"And what if I think you're handsome, huh?" I mocked as he let out a small laugh, "I'm gonna miss you when you go home," I mumbled as I just looked up at him and he slowly locked eyes with me.

"I'll visit as much as I can," he assured as one of his hands laid itself on my shoulder.

"We should sleep," I murmured and he hummed before slumping down on the bed beside me.

"Good night then," he smiled softly, "sleep well, Lin."

"You too," I whispered before I felt something soft on my cheek.

Once I turned my head Sunoo had closed his eyes and turned over on his other side so his back was turned to me.

I couldn't help it, a small smile spread on my face as I softly tocuhed my cheek, where his lips had momentarily been. I slowly reached over and turned over onto my side as my hand laid itself softly on his shoulder.

A content hum escaped him and I slowly smiled as my eyes dropped close.
