You end up waking up about an hour later and you lift your head up off Seonghwa's thigh and look around at your surroundings. Seonghwa notices your sudden movement so he looks down at you and when he sees that you're awake, a little smile slowly starts to appear on his lips.

"You alright, Princess?" Seonghwa calls, while lightly setting his hand on your head

You hum in response and look up at Seonghwa and blink slowly, causing his smile to grow.

"You're so cute."

Seonghwa carefully cups your face and leans in closer to you so he can kiss your features carefully. A shy smile starts to make it's way onto your lips and when Seonghwa pulls back, you scrunch your shoulders up and look away. Seonghwa giggles at your reaction and he looks over at Yeosang who's still fast asleep, still clinged onto you.

You grab onto Seonghwa's arm and bring it closer to you, causing him to jump the slightest at your sudden action. You bring his hand close to your chest and lean your head against his bicep, a little sigh escaping your lips in the process.

"You still tired?" Seonghwa asks, with a slight head tilt

"I just want to go back to the dream I had." You reply, while shutting your eyes and rubbing your cheek against Seonghwa's arm

"You know it's physically impossible to go back into a dream you woke up from, right?"

"I know it is~ It doesn't hurt to have a little hope through."

Seonghwa lightly nods his head and he gives you a quick kiss on the top of your head before you look up at him with a little smile. He gives you a little smile in return before he carefully wraps his arms around you, bring careful not to wake Yeosang up.

The second he goes to lift you up closer to him, Yeosang wakes up and sits up urgently in cold sweats. The sound of his heavy and unsteady breathing alerts you and Seonghwa so you both look over at him.

"Hehetmon, are you alright?" You ask, while carefully sitting up

"You have a nightmare?" Seonghwa adds, while moving closer to the younger

Yeosang nods his head and he looks down and tries to steady his shaky breathing. A little frown makes it's way onto your lips and you wrap your arms around Yeosang's waist, causing him to jump and quickly move away from you.

"Hey, hey, it's just me. There's nothing to be scared of Hehetmon." You reassure, while slowly backing up

Yeosang looks back at you and his gaze shifts over to Seonghwa, then back at you before he shakes his head and backs up more.

"Yeosang, what's wrong? Is everything alright?" Seonghwa asks, while wrapping his arms around your waist

"Was it the dream you had?" You add

Yeosang doesn't say anything and instead he just looks down and slightly nods his head. You look up at Seonghwa and he looks down at you before you both exchange looks.

"Hehetmon, come here. It's alright. You can come with us. We won't hurt you." You reassure, while looking back at Yeosang

Yeosang looks to the side of the bed and he thinks for a few seconds until he slowly makes his way back to you and Seonghwa. When his ankle touches you leg, he slowly looks up at you, an uneasy look clear in his eyes.

"Come on, it's alright."

Yeosang stays in his position for a few more seconds before he moves closer to you and he looks up at you and Seonghwa, his pupils shaking slightly. You lightly pat Yeosang's head to signal him that you're there before you slowly wraps his arms at his waist and pull him back so he's laying against you. He ends up tensing up when he feels his body against yours and Seonghwa immediately notices.
