Frozen. That's what Jeno was. He couldn't move, at all. The boy awkwardly put his arms around her and stroked her back. "What's going on? Do you wanna talk about it?" His usual teasing tone contrasted with his soft one. Her tears began dampening his shirt, but he didn't care. He just wanted to be there for her, again.

They were in his room, tissues all over his bed as a shaking Chaewon sat next to him. Silence.
"I'll tell you, about what happened." Her breaths were shallow and her heart was beating fast, yet she somehow felt peace around Jeno.

"Then I ran and came here. Gladly nothing happened but what if something did happen? I don't know if I can go home tonight, I have a feeling he might still be there." Chaewon looked up to see him fully and found herself staring into his eyes. She could tell he cared, a lot. But didn't really know what to say.

"You can uh stay here tonight. I'll talk to your parents it's fine."
"No! I-I mean no but thank you for the offer."
"You're sleeping here and that's final."
Chaewon knew she couldn't argue back with him because he'd find a way to win. Unknowingly a smile was on her lips.
What did I do to deserve you Jeno?

It was 2 am and Chaewon was awake. She tossed and turned yet no avail. Exiting the room, the hallway was quite empty. Chaewon knocked on the door a few times and opened it slightly. "Jeno? You asleep yet?"
All she heard was a tired groan coming from him as she entered the dark yet simple room.
"I can't sleep."

"Is Chaewon being a little baby?" Jeno teased, a smirk grazing his lips. Still being annoying at 2 in the morning, he's built different. The girl groaned and threw her head back in annoyance as she turned to leave. "Ok ok I was joking. Come sleep here then." He pat the empty space next to him. A red hue spread across her cheeks and internally thanked god that it was dark or he would've seen her.

"Goodnight Jeno."
"Night Chae."
