It was still early hours of the morning, and the sun had not yet risen into the sky. The night which passed so peacefully made waking up so irrevocably cruel. It was Chanyeol's phone which woke me with its gentle buzzing on the nightstand, where its backlight created small traces of light in a room still shrouded in darkness. Ignoring Chanyeol's phone, I pressed myself against him and breathed in his smell. Unaffected by the buzzing of his phone, his chest lifted with every breath, and I listened earnestly to the beating of his heart.

When the phone stopped I thought that might be the end of it, but its silence was quickly followed by a short string of individual vibrations which I could only guess meant he was receiving text messages. The digital clock on his nightstand read five AM, but I already felt too awake to return to sleep. Instead, I gently released Chanyeol's arms from around me and carefully climbed out of the bed so as not to wake him. My appointment with the neurologist was in just a few hours, so I thought it best to wake up with a morning coffee and spend time relaxing first. After putting on a warm cotton robe, I went to the kitchen and carefully closed his bedroom door behind me.

By the time I finished preparing a warm drink, the sun was beginning to rise over the city. I stood and watched the view in front of the window as the room filled with a magnificent orange hue. It would be incredible to share this experience with Chanyeol, but I did not wish to wake him. Last night felt like an out of world experience by mixing heaven and sin, basking in the guilt of incomparable pleasure even after knowing he had been with somebody else first. I halted that train of thought.

It was time to start getting ready. I reentered Chanyeol's room and quietly prepared my clothes for the day before entering his ensuite and gently closing the door behind me. I undressed then stepped into the shower, then allowed the hot water to stream over me and wash away my unquiet thoughts. Peace settled in just for a little while as I stood here enjoying the heat and silence. I didn't want to feel anything nor think of anything. Just like this, I felt a momentary sense of happiness.

The door opened, and my attention moved to Chanyeol stepping inside. He was almost completely bare save for his boxer shorts, and he looked unimaginably perfect. He looked at me with earnest eyes as he gently closed the door behind him. We stared at each other for all of a moment, but I knew just from his shy and hesitant lingering exactly what it was that he wanted. And as I looked down to his boxer shorts and saw a telling shadow and outline, my guess was confirmed to be right.

I nodded at him. "Come in," I said, offering a small smile.

Chanyeol's face almost appeared to light up as he quickly removed his shorts and stepped into the shower with me. He closed the glass door gently behind him and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me in against him.

"I was startled to find you weren't in the bed with me," he whispered as he leaned forward and nuzzled into my neck. "How did you sleep, hm? Were you okay?"

"I slept fine," I murmured, feeling my senses almost overwhelm from being under a hot stream of water with him. He pressed against me, already so spritely. Chanyeol's fingers came to my neck and pushed my head softly to the side, then trailed them down my exposed skin. Then without any deliberation, he flicked his tongue below my air and continued trailing down. "Hmm."
