Insanity

< firsts >

I toss and turn in bed that night. Does this mean Sunwoo and I are dating for real?? Are we allowed to act all couple-y in front of Changmin and the others? Do I act different than I used to? How did I even act before??

Sunwoo turns around in his sleep. "What are you doing?" He asks tiredly.

"Sorry," I say quietly.

"Is something wrong?" He asks.

"N-no."

He goes silent for a second and I continue staying awake. Sunwoo sits up, almost as if he could just hear me blinking and it bothered him.

"Can you just tell me what's up so that we can both sleep?" He runs a hand through his messy wavy hair.

"It's nothing," I lie. "I'm just cold, I guess."

"You're cold?" Sunwoo blinks, as my words register in his half asleep brain. "Come here," He moves closer to me and snakes his arm around my waist, resting it on my stomach.

My eyes widen because now I can't sleep even more. It feels like there's a giant butterfly waiting to rip out of my stomach.

I feel his cold silver rings on my skin which sends shivers down my spine. I feel his breath close to my ear and he rests his chin on the top of my head.

"You should have just said so," he mumbles. "Don't be so tense. I can't relax when you're like that."

I swallow, closing my eyes and trying to get myself to calm down, but I'm afraid he can hear my heart beating.

"It's okay," Sunwoo speaks up again, gently playing with my hair.

From this I'm able to relax and I feel myself untense. Even with Sunwoo sleeping so close to me, I manage to fall asleep from the calmness of his voice.

< 3 pm >

"You're sure you can handle it?" Sunwoo crosses his arms at Changmin.

"Calm down, you're literally gonna be gone for like three hours." Changmin cocks his head. "You're so dramatic.

"Finally!" Hyunjae enters the room with a sweaty towel around his neck. "I was wondering when you two were going to go on a date."

I grin at him, and Sunwoo grabs my hand.

"I'm starting to regret this already." Sunwoo shakes his head. "I change my mind. Juyeon!" He calls out.

The dark haired boy pokes his head into the living room from the kitchen.

"You're in charge," Sunwoo tells him.

"Yes!" Juyeon smiles for the first time like ever.

"What??" Changmin screams. "Are you kidding? I'm your right hand man how could you do this to me?"

"It's simple. I don't trust you to hold down the fort." Sunwoo shrugs.

"Ugh," Changmin exits the room in a huff.

"Okay, ready to go?" Sunwoo asks me.

"Yep!" I grab the picnic basket by the front door and we leave the house.

It might be the first time ever that we're alone in the outside world.

"I'm so excited," I grin, swinging our hands back and forth.

"Yeah?" Sunwoo asks, smiling down at me and he takes the basket from me.

"I love the beach!" I say.

"I know," He laughs. "I think the whole world knows that you like the beach."
