The morning breeze came through the window. It was an hour after the sunrise when Haechan had woken up. Instead of doing the usual prepping for the morning, he decided to sleep in and stay in bed. Half an hour passed but he didn't budge from his spot on the bed when Yun had wrapped her arms around him.

"Hhhha..."

Haechan chuckled at the sight of Yun's soft mumbles. His hand gently brushed through her messy hair. Pushing back the hairs that were covering her face, he smiled at her peaceful face. All he wanted was to love and protect her, and he was set on doing that.

"Good morning, Yun."

Softly kissing her forehead, he carefully got rid of the arms that were wrapped around his waist. Getting his energy for the day, he headed to prep breakfast for the two of them. For some certain reason, all his tiredness disappeared after that quick kiss. He spent the rest of the morning smiling like a madman as he cooked.

"It's... morning?"

Dazed, Yun looked out of the window to see that the sun was still shining. Pain shot throughout her whole body, making her weak. Looking up to the clock, she was shocked to see that it was almost twelve in the afternoon. She had slept through breakfast.

"C'mon, Yun. You've dealt with periods, you can definitely endure this."

The little pep talk of hers managed to bring her to the dining area where Haechan was at. Sitting down at her usual seat, she stared at the hot food in front of her. Compared to the day-to-day meals that Haechan had cooked, the quality of the meal for this day was quite high.

Simple but filling meals were often cooked by Haechan, but today he had gone all out with the expensive Korean beef and his favorite, kimchi stew. Yun had stared at the food as she felt like drooling over them. She didn't even spare a glance to Haechan who was sulking.

"So you like food more than me?"

"I mean," Yun paused and thought carefully whether she wanted to voice out the words she thought of. "Both taste good, I guess."

"You leave me speechless sometimes."

Leaving the topic there, the two enjoyed the meal prepared. It wasn't awkward or tense at the table, but they were at ease. It could probably be the exhaustion that's weighing them down from talking.

"What do you have planned for today?" Yun questioned the rather silent boy in front of her. She couldn't see beyond him and couldn't guess what was on his mind. Either way, it was the perfect time to strike a conversation. "Busy? I'm probably going to head out. It would be such a waste to stay inside every day when it's snowing."

"I planned to meet up with my groupmates because we were given a group project for the winter break. We're almost done but we need to meet up for the last touches," the response of Haechan made Yun smile. "Why are you smiling?"
