Dreaming A Dream | An ONF Fanfiction

Chapter 9

The following day, I woke up wrapped in Seungjun's arms. Just like that morning 5 years ago, when we were one week away from getting our diplomas and finally becoming hunters. That special night, he hugged me tightly until the sun started rising. It was the night we told each other about our feelings, or at least tried to do so. It is not easy to explain our connection with words. Nonetheless, it was the night we truly understood what was in between us.

Just like during that unforgettable morning, his hand was on the left side of my chest, but this time it was under my shirt so that it could be even closer to my heart. I was holding his hand, and as I slowly woke up, I tightened my grip around it. I still felt a bit lightheaded from the evening before, partially because of the loud environment of the amusement park, and partially because of what happened in the Ferris wheel cabin. If I focused enough, I could still feel the taste of his sweet lip balm in my mouth.

I felt a kiss on the back of my neck. I smiled.

"Good morning love."

My soulmate said before letting out an adorable yawn. He started playing with my hair with the hand that wasn't on my chest.

"Remember when you had that very bright red hair? I think you should dye it that color again. I loved it a lot."

Suddenly, he pulled out his arm from under my shirt and lifted his torso up with his arms, basically lifting himself above me and trapping me in between his arms. I laid on my back and looked up at him. His messy hair made him look like a lion with an unkempt mane. I smiled at him as I pinched his cheek. So squishy. He smiled back.

"Aren't your arms getting tired?"

"A little bit."

He said as he bent his elbows and lowered his torso until his chest pressed against mine.

"This is better, I have support now."

He giggled. I was still squishing his cheek, but my arm was starting to hurt since his face was so close to mine and I had to put it in an uncomfortable position to squish it. Therefore, I simply decided to grab his waist.

"Hyojinie... can I kiss you...?"

"Sure, why not."

He slowly lowered his head. I closed my eyes and felt a quick peck on my lips. Then, he moved down slightly, so that he could put his head on my chest.

"This pillow is comfortable, I should use it more..."

I heard him giggle again. He was undoubtedly happy, and therefore I was happy too.
Moments like those are the ones I cherish the most. As long as I can feel his presence, as long as I can be close to him, I am happy.
I started slowly patting his head. I felt like we could have stayed like this forever. It wasn't the warmest day, and the warmth I felt as we cuddled was beyond comforting.

"Hyojinie..."

"Hmm?"

"You're everything to me."

We spent the rest of the afternoon lazily preparing for the gig. We didn't have much to do, the outfits were ready and Changyun would have arrived to do our hair and makeup in about five hours from then. We were quick to revise our setlist and choreographies a few times. When we were done, we even had about one hour to relax before Changyun came over.
Seungjun took a shower, and when he got out of the bathroom and sat on the couch, I did what I always do. I approached him from behind and buried my face into his freshly washed hair, deeply inhaling the refreshing mint aroma. He slowly lifted his head up and looked at me. I gently moved his hair off his forehead and pressed my lips against it.
He knew he could "take advantage" of me while I was in a touchy mood.
