The following morning, both Namjoon and Soohyun woke up to the sound of his alarm. Due to the weather everything was shut down. Schools, banks, stores, everything. Namjoon quickly shut off his alarm and saw an insane amount of messages from Taehyung asking if he had made it home alright. Better late than never, he let him know both he and Soohyun were home safe and also apologised for not answering his message earlier. He turned to see Soohyun still asleep beside him, curled up peacefully. He smiled as he remembered the events of the night before. Careful not to wake her, he played with her hair and moved it away from her face. She was absolutely beautiful, even while asleep. Despite the central heating system being on, it was still a very cold morning. Namjoon pulled Soohyun closer to him until she was practically on top of him. He felt her head move slightly while she tried to become more comfortable while still asleep. As much as he wanted to get up and start his day though it would just be staying home, the urge to stay in bed how he and Soohyun were was greater. As to not wake her up, he simply grabbed a book he had on his nightstand to not just lay bored out of his mind.

It didn't take long for Soohyun to wake up. She opened her eyes slowly, taking in the environment she was in. It clicked when she remembered the events of last night. Looking up, her eyes landed on a messy haired, book-reading Namjoon who still hadn't noticed she had woken up until she got off from on top of him and sat up. "Good morning." He smiled, putting his book down.

"Good morning. What time is it?" She rubbed her eyes.

He carefully moved her hands from her eyes. "Seven thirty. It's still early." He didn't want her rubbing her eyes. She stretched before contemplating whether or not to get up and go to the restroom. "You look confused."

"I want to go brush my teeth, but... it's really cold." She said.

"I'll go with you," Namjoon pulled the covers off of himself and Soohyun. She immediately shrunk into a little ball to keep herself warm. "It's not that cold." Namjoon laughed.

"Says you, how aren't you freezing?" She asked, he had fallen asleep in a sleeveless shirt.

"The more you think about it the worse it'll feel. Let's go brush our teeth." He walked to where she was laying and made her get up to go to the bathroom. "See? It's not that bad now is it?"

"I'm always cold in the morning." Soohyun began. "I'll get over it eventually."

"I'll keep you warm." Namjoon winked in the mirror. He would wink a lot and no matter how many times he did it, Soohyun would get so flustered by it every single time. He put toothpaste on her toothbrush and then on his before they began to brush.

Their morning was simple, yet it felt so perfect to the two of them. Soohyun helped Namjoon make his bed and that felt so pure to him. He'd always make his bed himself even in the past when he had previous relationships. It was the simple fact that Soohyun didn't offer to or wait to be asked, she just did it. When they ate breakfast, Soohyun offered to help and Namjoon didn't hesitate to say no. He had basic kitchen knowledge, enough to know how to make something simple to keep himself from starving or burning the house down. They ate sitting next to each other as opposed to sitting across from each other. After eating, they looked out of the window to see all the snow that had fallen that night. They were in awe of the amount of white fluff that coated the ground and the cars that were now barely visible. There was no sign of Soohyun being able to go home any time soon.

It was nice spending the day lounging around with each other, no that there was much else they could do. Both loved the company. Namjoon would've normally just read alone all day. But he had Soohyun who read with him, talked to him and kept him from dying of boredom. There was a beautiful feeling they both got from each other. Soohyun loved the company of a person given she was someone who was alone most of the time. And Namjoon loved being able to be with someone he cared for immensely.
