TRUTH OR DARE? - l.dh

xi. day 13

Half of day 13 was spent sleeping, for the both of you had gone back home to sleep at around 1 am after walking around the park and hanging by the playground. 1 pm was not a good time to wake up, you think, because its the time of lunch, and you havent even had breakfast. Not to mention how all you ate the night before was ice cream.

Fortunately, Sungmin had made both you and Donghyuck some scrambled eggs and ham, and woke you two up by sitting on top of you.

Why cant your roommate be like her?

The moment Donghyuck got up to go wash his plate, Sungmin was replacing his spot in front of you, reaching over to pat your hand.

Your eyes are especially sleepy, droopy and blinking slowly, you almost look genuinely sad.

So, did you finally do it? Are you two together now?

You cant bring yourself to tell her the truth, you cant even bring yourself to actually acknowledge how it was the very last day of the whole act, before you go back to being friends and nothing more.

You can only imagine how frustrated shed be if you actually told her.

Alas, you cant lie to her. You watch with shame as her face falls, and as her face scrunches up in frustration. Its a cute sight, but has so much more negative impact on your heart as she looks at your plate of breakfast she made, and mutters how she shouldnt have put so much care into her cooking.

And she storms up the stairs, warning you to fix the whole situation one last time, or shell do it herself.

Just a moment later, Dongyuck comes back, yawning. Gosh, he looked incredibly fine in the morning.

Wheres Sungmin? He mumbles as he runs his fingers through his hair. You almost dont reply with how distracted you are. Distracted by him, and Sungmins words.

You two are real cowards.

Uh, another nap. I think.

Donghyuck huffs out, looking up at the stairs, Shes been napping a lot lately, you think shes okay?

Yeah, shes definitely okay. Just really tired of your shit.

And honestly, so are you. Physically. You werent able to get any sleep last night, debating whether or not to go in the middle of the night and fix this whole mess. You pondered for about 3 hours, and instead of any progress, you got a mere 3 hours of sleep.

It seems like Donghyuck is just as tired as you, because the moment youre laying on the couch, hes climbing up on top of you and trapping you down. His hair is buried into your neck, tickling your collarbone, his breaths fanning gently against your shoulder.

Youve done this a few times before, sure, but this time its a lot different. This could be the last time youd even be sitting on this very couch, the couch you grew to love with each moment spent sitting on it. Its when you first talked to Sungmin, and when you truly felt ten folds of love from Donghyucks family.

Your stomach twists, just as you twist a strand of Donghyucks hair between your fingers.

So after today, is he still gonna act like this? Hug you so? Hold your hand tightly?

Youve been asking yourself this for days, the past week, even. Every time it would come up, youd push it back down, ignore it, until its become something so big just sitting in the corner of your mind. So big that no matter how many times you try to ignore it, theres always a reminder in every corner.

You cant take it anymore, you really cant.

L-lets talk.

Donghyuck hums, he hums against your neck, you feel it vibrate through your neck, and you cant help but feel giddy at the sensation. About what? I thought it was nap time,
