karina | by my side

3:48 a.m

the cold air in the room dried your throat causing you to wake up searching for water. you opened your eyes and saw karina sleeping with her right hand wrapped around your waist and her head on your shoulder.

you carefully reached for your water bottle on the lamp table only to find out that you already drank all of it. with a sigh, you slowly removed karina's hand from your waist and carefully got out of bed trying to not wake her up from her beauty sleep.

karina has been busy with her schedule, filming the music video for her upcoming comeback, recording for their bside and also some commercials shooting.

these days she has been coming home late, and usually when she arrives home she would immediately search for you to cuddle her tiredness out. you'd always wanted to have a small talk with her asking about how her day went but as soon as she wraps her arm around you she'd immediately doze off to dreamland

you slowly walk out of the room and turned the kitchen lights on to refill your water bottle. meanwhile karina woke up after realizing that the bed was empty. she groaned as she rub her eyes slowly, sitting up to double check if you're really gone.

the lights that came in through the opening of the door made her come to her senses that maybe you have left for some water. she sat quietly on the bed waiting for you to come back, as she tried to adjust with the sudden brightness.

after a couple of minutes of waiting, karina grew cranky at the fact that your figure walking through that door wasnt coming anytime soon. she brushed her hair back before groaning as she stood on her knees making her way out of bed.

she peeked through the door and saw that the kitchen light was on, she walked through the hallway and was about to peek at the kitchen but immediately stopped when she noticed that the guest room was bright and some mumbling could be heard from the inside of the room.

"dont tell me.." she mumbled under her breath before pushing the door open quietly. and just like how she expected, she saw you on the computer with your headphones on.

"awh come on, stop flanking and just follow the orders" you huffed into the mic, annoyed at your friend who kept on trying to solo carry the whole team.

karina walked up to you, not even minding the fact that her footsteps were making loud noises. her hand stretched out as she grab your shoulder gently.

you jumped in place, looking back as you're met with a grumpy yu jimin. you pull your headphones down as it rests on your neck now.

"honey? what are you doing, you should be in bed" you turn facing her, she made an expression that made you realize that she was pissed.

"aren't you the one that should be in bed?" she sighed, crossing her arms over her chest.

"okay, okay. let me finish one game, okay? and then i promise-"

you were cut off by karina who suddenly let out a loud sigh before grabbing your headphone and putting it one. she pulled down the mic, and talked to your friends.

"heyyy, sorry for interrupting yalls game night, its jimin. im gonna need my boyfriend in bed right now. maybe you guys can play together again tomorrow? thank you and byee" her tone and expression changed from pissed, to a very friendly tone. once she took the headphone off, her expression went back to the same one as before.

her hand grabbed the mouse, moving the cursor left and right, and the next thing you know is that the computer screen is now black.

"karin-"

"no more excuses please" she said grabbing your hand and dragging you out of the room and straight to the bed.

she pushed you to the bed, before climbing on to it and laying in your arms. her body turned to your side as she throws her arm around your waist. her breath tickling your neck that somehow made you calm in a sense.

the silence was too loud, you weren't sure if you should apologize to her for what you did or you should just keep quiet and cuddle her.

"sorry if i sounded like a bitch" she mumbled, squirming in your arms. she moved upwards and now her face is only inches away from yours.

"no, im sorry. i shouldn't have even thought of playing games in the middle of the morning and leaving you to sleep alone" you said moving your arm to rest on her waist, pulling her body closer to yours. she let out a giggle before pouting her lips to peck your cheek.

"you know i don't sleep well if you're not by my side right?" she asks, you let out a hum and gave her a peck on the lips.

"let's sleep, im tired from practice" she said as she snuggles in the crook of your neck, driftung to dreamland as she gets comfy in your arms.
