8 Makes 1 Family

Chapter 11

Wooyoung's POV

"Youngie."

"Youngie." I slowly rolled over and peeled my eyes open, looking to see San standing by my bed. It was still the middle of the night but the moon was shining through the curtains, so I was able to see him. His hands were wrapped around himself, his shoulders slumped and his eyes a little glossy. Ah, he's had another nightmare.

"Hey baby, you ok? Did you go see Hwa Hyung," I asked softly as I sat up and moved to face him, letting my legs dangle over the side of the bed. He sniffled and moved forwards, shuffling between my legs to be closer to me. I shuffled back slightly before pulling him up, allowing him to sit down, his legs on either side of my lap as he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Went to but he was cuddling with Joongie Hyung," he whispered. Ah, right. It's kind of an unspoken rule between us younger ones that whenever Hongjoong or Seonghwa sleep next to each other, we leave them alone and let them sleep for as long as they need. The reason being that they only ever end up next to each other if they're stressed or not sleeping well as it brings them comfort. Now that the scare of yesterday has settled down, I have no doubt that they need that extra comfort.

"That's alright, do you want to come cuddle with me tonight," I asked, rubbing his back softly. He nodded so I turned and leant back, keeping my arms wrapped tightly around San and bringing him down with me. I rested my head on the pillow, San laying on top of me and cuddling close.

"Did you want to talk about it? Or do you wanna wait to talk to Hwa Hyung in the morning," I asked. He was quiet for a few seconds before speaking up.

"Sangie killed me," he said quietly. Ok, not what I was expecting, but I know San isn't scared of him, so what's he talking about.

"H-He was sad. He couldn't forgive himself and he, he ended up dying. A-And I watched him, h-he-."

"Shh, it's ok darling. Everything is ok. No one's dead and Sangie is alright. I promise you," I said, cutting him off before he could work himself up too much.

"S-Sangie's ok," he whispered.

"Yes, he is. He got home from the infirmary today remember. He was playing some video games with Jongho and he's asleep right now," I said gently.

"S'ok," he mumbled sleepily, already beginning to drift off in my arms.

"Of course he is. Now you get some more rest you little devil," I said.

"You're the devil," he mumbled with a sigh, relaxing further against me.

"Shh, sleep," I whispered, kissing his forehead gently. He nodded into my chest and went quiet as he drifted off to sleep. I stayed up for another half an hour, just making sure he was asleep and wasn't going to have another nightmare before I finally let myself go to sleep.

~~~~~

"Why does this not surprise me?" I peeled my eyes open at the sound and looked to see Seonghwa standing beside my bed with Mingi beside him. I smiled softly and tightened my grip around San's waist.

"You and Joong were together so he didn't want to interrupt you," I explained. Seonghwa's eyebrows furrowed and he knelt down, running his fingers through San's hair.

"Did he have a nightmare," he asked worriedly.

"Yeah. It was about Yeosang though. He was scared of what would happen to Yeosang if he accidentally killed him yesterday," I said.

"Makes sense I guess. It's probably not the only nightmare he will have about the matter," he said with a sigh.

"He's ok now though. He slept pretty well after that I'm pretty sure," I said.
