Kat's POV

We all ate some dinner after playing some more games, which I obviously won much to Seungmin's disappointment.

As it was getting later, I offered the boys to stay at my house, since my dad was still away on his business trip and I didn't really want to be alone still.

"That's the least you can offer us after putting our eyes through whatever the hell that was earlier." Hyunjin remarked to which I rolled my eyes.

"I'll take that as a yes for Hyunjin then." and he nodded his head. The other boys looked like they were too tired to move, minus Changbin who apparently had an infinite energy supply.

"Anyone else?" I asked looking around at everyone's heavy eyes.

They all kind of gave a groan as if to say yeah whatever and started making their way upstairs and I followed behind them.

"Chan, Changbin and Felix stay in my room and the others take my Dad's room." I commanded and they all went to their respective rooms.

I grabbed some pjs and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed, I told Chan and Felix that there was probably some spares of Changbin's clothes laying around if they wanted to get changed too.

I returned from the bathroom, now ready for bed and hopped in my bed. The three boys were all sat around my room, looking awkward as fuck.

"Guys what the fuck are you all waiting for go to sleep." I said at them. Changbin gave me a look of fine but the man never wants to sleep. Chan just stood awkwardly as if he didn't know where to go.

"Chan, I know we said we are taking it slow but why else would I ask you to sleep in here if I wasn't gonna let you in my bed" I giggled at how cute he was trying to respect my boundaries.

He sheepishly walked over to my bed and slid in next to me.

"You look really cute in your pyjamas." he smiled as he looked at me. I smiled back at him, trying to hide my flushed cheeks from his compliment.

Changbin mimicked a gagging sound to which I threw a pillow at him and told him to do one.

"Bin, let's not forget the way you talked about Felix to me." I said smirking at him as his cheeks became red.

"Fuck off Rina" he pouted as Felix smirked at the comment I made.

"Oh yeah? What'd he say?" Felix asked in English, leaving Changbin looking confused.

"hmmm well..." I began, never intending to say anything but then Changbin literally jumped up onto my bed and put his hand over my mouth, making the other two boys laugh.

"Bin, what the fuck get off you know I wasn't gonna say anything you drama queen." I pushed his hand off and rolled my eyes at him.

"Shut up, I'll tell Chan everything you said the other day." he retaliated.

I instantly shut up and shook my head frantically. This time it was Chan who was smirking.

"Bin, I will kick you out of my house." I stated, completely monotone.

"Pffft, as if Rina." he laughed at me trying to be serious.

"Whatever, I'm going to sleep." I huffed and turned my back to him.

"You're so cute when you try to be angry." Changbin told me, to which I said "Fuck off" and continued trying to sleep. I heard all of them laugh and then they said goodnight to each other and I felt Chan slide down and cuddle me.

It was something so simple yet I had crazy butterflies over it. This man will be the death of me I swear.

He was so warm and felt so natural to have him pressed up against me. I could really stay like this forever, it felt so perfect to finally allow myself to have what I have always been to scared to have.

I felt him kiss the back of my head and then heard him slowly drift off to sleep, as my eyes also grew heavy in such comfort.

"Mum?" I cried out through watery eyes.

"This is my new boyfriend!" she bellowed with a smile, and my dad started to cry.

I sat upright in my bed, looked at my surroundings, realising it was just that stupid dream again. I haven't had it in a while, why would it suddenly come back now...

I looked at the time and it was 3:56am. I probably won't be able to get back to sleep again now. I looked down next to me and saw Chan peacefully sleeping, that's a sight I could get used to. I smiled and planted a light kiss on his forehead and made my way down to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

I sat down in the front room and began my never ending scroll on TikTok, waiting for it to be time for the rest of the boys to wake up.

Half an hour in, I heard some movement of someone coming down the stairs.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" I called out to the mystery person.

"Nah, I woke up and realised you were missing so I came to find you." a familiar voice responded to me in english.

I smiled at hearing my boyfriend's voice. That feels weird to think about him like this, but it also feels so comfortable. He came and placed himself beside me on the couch and put his arms around me.

"How come you're up?" he questioned me as I leaned into his warmth.

"I don't know, I couldn't sleep. Probably just my insomnia." I half lied. I didn't technically fully lie. I didn't want to tell him about my nightmare because I have a good feeling being in a proper relationship is what triggered it. I don't want to scare him away because of how broken I really am.

"I feel you." he smiled gently and planted a kiss on my head.

We laid together for a while and eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
