Drink it up | Kim Hongjoong

009

Everything went well today, the amusement park was a blast and when we came back we watch 5 different movies. Tonight was the first night I wasn't in Hongjoong's bed, I was upstairs in what was "my room" with San. They all stayed over, since there was only 4 rooms upstairs they doubled up. San was sound asleep next to me snoring as I tossed and turned for an hour. The clock read 2:34 am, I wanted to sleep but I just couldn't.

I slowly slipped out of bed, I was wearing San's shirt and a pair of shorts. I slipped out of the room closing the door quietly, I made my way down the stairs, Wooyoung and Yunho were downstairs in the training room so I made sure to be extra quiet when I walked passed the opening. When we slept in his room the door always stayed open but tonight it was shut, I knocked on the door softly but there was no response.

I held my breath for a moment and opened his door quietly, it was pitch black inside, the only light coming from the moon that shone between the blinds. I closed his door and sighed, why am I here? I made my way to the bed to see him asleep, soft snores coming from him as he faced the wall, I tried my best to swiftly get under his blanket but the movement of me laying down caused him to move. "Euna?" His voice was hoarse and sounded so hot, "What are you doing in here?" I rolled over and looked at him, "I couldn't sleep..."

He rubbed his eyes and flipped over to me, "Come here." I scooted into his arms as he held me close, my body instantly relaxed against his. A breath I didn't realize I was holding escaped, "Euna what's wrong?" I flipped around so I could face him, "I'm worried about the mission, I worried about San but I can't even fall asleep next to him..." He caressed my cheek as he looked at me, "Calm down Euna it's okay, you're used to sleeping in here not the room upstairs. Don't blame yourself for that, I'm the one that had you sleeping in here."

I leaned into his chest as he pulled me closer, "I'm sorry for waking you up.." He rubbed my back, "Don't be, I was having trouble sleeping too." We were really close, absolutely no space between us, and I was comfortable. Normally I wouldn't be this comfortable unless it was San but Hongjoong was different. My eyes started to feel heavy as he rubbed my back more, I closed my eyes taking in his scent as I fell asleep. Am I starting to like him?

I woke up to the sound of voices in the living room, I inhaled deeply as I stretched. Then I remembered where I was and who the voices were in the living room. Panic shot through my body as I sat up, Hongjoong was gone already. The bathroom was open so that meant he was probably with the others. I walked to the door and opened it softly, "Is she still asleep?"

"Yeah she went to bed late." "Where is she?" My breath hitched, "In my room." I felt lightheaded, did Hongjoong just tell them I was in here, "Oh shit what?" I walked out hoping to defuse the situation if it got out of hand, "Yeah San found us already, he's fine now." I stopped and as I did San opened the guest bathroom and stared at me, "Jesus you scared me!" He laughed as I held my heart, the guys went quiet as we walked out, "What happened?" I flicked San trying to avoid their eyes, "San scared me as I was walking down the hall!"

They laughed, we both sat down and I rubbed my eyes, "So Euna why were you in Hongjoong's room?" My face flushed, "I was sleeping." San scoffed at my sarcasm, "No honestly I just have trouble sleeping in new places alone, so I got used to Hongjoong's room while I was here and then trying to sleep upstairs wasn't working out." They nodded as Hongjoong looked at me, "Yeah we didn't try to hide that too well." I looked at him, "Huh?" He was smirking, "San is the one who woke me up. He dragged me out of my own bed and you slept through it."

My cheeks went red, before I smacked San's arm, "Why are you so mean?!" He threw his hands up, "Well what else am I supposed to think when I wake up to see my sister gone and find her in his bed?!" The guys laughed as they enjoyed the show, "Euna it's fine, I've already given him an earful." I looked at Hongjoong and nodded, "Good. So when are you leaving today?" San sighed, "I have to pack my things soon so probably in 3 hours." I frowned and leaned on his shoulder, "I'll be fine."
