Drink it up | Kim Hongjoong

025

~Euna's POV~

I woke up around 2 am in a cold sweat, nightmares followed me even though I was safe now, even though he was dead. "Euna? What's wrong?" I looked over at Hongjoong, his head had risen up to look at me, I slowly moved the blanket, "I'm fine...just a bad dream. Lay back down I'm gonna get some water." He sat up as I got off the bed, the room was freezing, "You sure?" I nodded, "Yeah baby lay back down."

He was hesitant but decided to listen, I slipped out of the room and headed down the hallway, in the small living room Wooyoung and San were playing some game, "Why are you guys still up?" I rubbed my eyes, they looked at me and smiled, "We wanted to play the game. Why are you up?" I walked to the kitchen, "Nightmare." I could hear the boys stop before they got up and followed me, I poured a glass of water and chugged it. "What happened?" San had wide concerned eyes, "Calm down Sannie, after what I went through nightmares are normal."

I patted his shoulder and gave him a small smile, "Really Sannie I'm fine." I hugged him tightly to which he returned, "Please don't ever run off like that again." I shook my head, "I won't, I can't live without you guys." He kissed my head as he pulled away, "Euna...can I talk to you?" I looked at Woo and nodded, San got the cue and left us alone. "What is it Woo?" He was playing with his fingers, "Your letter...what did you mean by that?" I tried to think before I remembered and smiled, I looked towards San and back at him making his cheeks flush, "Is it that obvious?"

"I can just tell, the way you look at him Woo...you should tell him." His eyes widened and he shook his head, "No no...he doesn't feel the same-" I took his hands that he was waving in the air, "I can't promise he does but I truly think so, I've seen the way he is with you. I really think he likes you." His eyes were wide, "Really?" I nodded, "Just try to find out? Or maybe just go for it and tell him? I don't know...I'm probably the last person that should give advice."

He hugged me tightly, "Thanks Euna.." I smiled and hugged him back, when we pulled away I patted his head, "I'm gonna head back to bed and try to sleep, the two of you should as well." He nodded and I made my way back to the room, "Night Sannie." He yelled out a "Good night" but was too involved in the game to say much more. I slipped back into the room and made my way to the bed, "About time." I jumped as I saw Hongjoong looking at me, "Why are you awake?"

He sat up as I got under the blanket, my heart still beating fast, "I can't sleep without you. You know that." I smiled and let him pull me to his chest, I leaned down and kissed him softly, "Me either." He smiled and kissed me again rolling us over so that he was looking down at me, his hand traveled down my side making me gasp and grip his hand. "S-Sorry.." He shook his head and pulled his hand away, tears in my eyes, "Don't be sorry."

I closed my eyes tightly as tears fell, he leaned down and kissed them away before pulling me closer, "No one's gonna hurt you again... okay? Not if I have anything to do with it." I slowly nodded, I fisted the shirt he was wearing as I silently cried into his chest. I was so far from okay, but being with him made me feel closer. Once my eyes dried out again I slowly drifted off to sleep in his arms.

~Wooyoung's POV~

I sighed as I walked into the living room, Euna was right, I should just tell him. I walked into the room and sat next to San, "Sannie..."He paused the game and looked at me, "You only call me that when something is on your mind or you're in a clingy mood. What's wrong?" I sighed and laid my head on his chest, something I've done for a long time, my heart was pounding against my chest. "I need to tell you something.." He held me close to him as I spoke, my arms were around his waist but I slowly pulled out of his grip to look at him.

"What is it Woo?" Thoughts of how wrong this could go flashed in my mind, "I...I like you a lot Sannie and not just as a friend, it's been like this for so long but I never knew how to tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't feel the same or you'd resent me for being gay and I didn't want to ruin what we had but now that I'm saying this I feel like I am!" I spoke so fast I surprised myself, I slammed my hand over my mouth as tears filled my eyes. He stared at me shocked as I looked at him, "I-I'm sorry..." I quickly stood up, "I'm gonna...I'm gonna go to bed." I went to walk away but within seconds my body was pushed against the wall.
