Jae-won's POV

I woke up with the comfortable warmth on my body after the chilly feeling I had from another vision. My body's curled up as I was facing the left side feeling the cold hard wall as my head pressed against it.

'sht, my neck...it hurts. Where am I? Where's my bed? It's my home'

I was about to have a proper position but halted as I felt my body heavy on my right side. I tried turning my head to the side but felt something warm and a weight behind my neck. It snuggles closer to my back and a grip surrounding my waist felt tighter.

'what the fck is— o-oh'

It was Su-hyeok, it's his smell. I can smell him, he's really close. This is his blazer, I think– covering my folded legs up to my waist, with Su-hyeok's arms on me. Spooning me. His warm slow breaths on my neck from behind as his nose and lips brushes over it, sending shivers down to my spine as the hairs on my arms and neck stood up.

'it feels so comfy but my neck....really...'

I wanna face him but I'm afraid I'll disturb his peaceful sleep if I move more. We're not even a couple nor as close as how he was with his group but we're in this position right now. It feels so good. It feels so right. *Sigh*.

The weight becomes light giving me chance to position, straighten my self when I felt Su-hyeok's body that was pressed peeled on mine. I need my poor neck to breathe from that position. The wall supporting our bodies. I was halted when I did turned straight ahead only to be met with his closed eyes revealing his long eyelashes, slightly parted lips, messy hair and all. He's got good features, I know that all along. But actually seeing it up close, is mesmerizing.

He's still sleeping. Strong arms still around my waist but the grip wasn't that tight anymore. His head falling forward one more time, his face leaning on mine closer, eyes remained closed. His nose brushed against my cheek, just by looking up at his face with such a small gap gives the sensation inside me growing to my cheeks but his nose brushing against it made me wanna let out a dolphin scream.

'he was too tired, I guess'

My arms lift up itself to his chest and shoulders to stop him as he's about to rest his weight and figure on mine again and occupy the smallest gap between us.

'I can't take this anymore, omg send help'

I can see he's as shocked as I am by the look of his face and wide eyes. Who wouldn't be when the first thing you saw are intense penetrating cocoa-colored, restless but soulful eyes piercing into yours?

Third Person's POV

"Uh.... I– I'm sorry," the both said before creating enough space in the middle after the dazed feeling of being lost by each other's deep gaze  for a good 5 seconds.

"This– this is yours, right?" she stutters referring to the blazer that's now on her hands giving it to the guy.

"Yeah, but you can use it."

"No, it's fine. You can take it now, but... Why's it on me btw?"

"I saw Nam-ra was about to give her sweater on you last night because she said you really can't sleep comfortably without a blanket. So I gave you mine instead so she doesn't have to remove hers, why? You don't like it?"

With that, she aggressively shakes her head as a no as she placed it back her criss-crossed bare legs.

"Thanks. It's really warm," the lass sheepishly smiles through the blush forming on her smooth puffy cheeks but Su-hyeok pinched it making it more red from how hard he did it.

"Hey! I am no stress ball," she pouted while covering both sides of her face with her palms.

"I have no idea what other words to use now that we are in this crisis but I'll just do it anyways–"

"Happy birthday, Jae-won," he said as he showed an affectionate dazzling smile, his eyes now crescent-shaped staring at her as if she was the most precious thing he knows.
