secret consideration (park sunghoon)

I lie in bed next to my boyfriend who was sound asleep and has been as such for the past hour. I've done everything in my ability (that i could do without getting out of bed) to try and fall asleep. I've said the alphabet over and over, I've tried counting sheep, I've tried breathing methods, nothing was working.

I didn't know why I couldn't sleep. In fact, I was pretty tired but I just couldn't bring myself to actually sleep. I looked over at Sunghoon who was fast asleep, one arm under his head and the other under and around my torso. I felt bad but I just needed to move, I felt so tense.. I've done my best not to move a muscle this whole time as not to disturb my boyfriend with my tossing and turning but I've finally had enough.

Sleepytime tea. I could try and drink some sleepytime tea and see if that helps. I tried my best to slowly and quietly get out of bed before leaving the room and going to the kitchen to go make the tea.

I grabbed a mug, filled it with water, and put it in the microwave for two minutes to heat up as I looked through the different teas that I've accumulated. Finally, I found the sleepytime tea. I grabbed a tea bag, put it to the side, and went to put the rest of the teas back in the cabinet.

As I was putting the teas back in the cabinet, the microwave started beeping. Shit. I got startled and ended up dropping the container that held all of the tea bags. God, why couldn't things just go right for once? I put my face in the palms of my hands and sigh. I then bend down and start picking up the tea bags and putting them back in the container.

"You okay, babe?" Sunghoon said in a sleep-filled voice, causing me to look up at he, who stood in front of me, his hair disheveled, and a slightly concerned look on his face.

"I.. yeah, I'm sorry for waking you." I tell him as he crouches down and helps me with picking up the tea bags.

"It's okay. Why are you up anyways?" Sunghoon asks as he picks up the container that now held all of the tea bags and puts it away.

I get up from the floor and lean against the counter, "I couldn't sleep. I.. I figured I'd just make some tea to try and help me fall asleep but, of course, I had to make a bunch of noise."

Sunghoon just nods, "You know you could've woke me up, right?"

I shake my head, "No... I didn't want to do that to you. You have work tomorrow and.." I'm cut off.

"So? I don't want you up all alone. You could've woke me up." Sunghoon tells me.

"I'm sorry." I say and he just shakes his head.

"Don't say that. Just.. just come on, let's make your tea." My boyfriend tells me.

I nod as I take the mug out of the microwave and put it on the counter, putting the tea bag in the hot water. Sunghoon comes over to me and hands me a spoon, resting his hand on the small of my back. I press the tea bag against the edge of the mug, squishing it so that it would soak in a bit easier. I do that a few times, mixing up the tea, before finally taking a sip.

"Is it good?" Sunghoon softly asks and I just nod in response as I put the mug down on the counter again. "Good." He says as he takes the mug from the counter. "Let's go to our room." He then tells me as he leads me out of the kitchen, shutting the light off, and bringing me to our room.

He leads me to my bed, putting the mug of tea on my nightstand as he tucks me in. He then goes to his side of the bed, gets under the covers and gets comfortable. His one arm squeezes underneath me, wrapping around my torso, while his other arm goes under his arm, as usual. He sleepily watches as I sip from the mug, drinking the warm tea.

Once I finish the tea, I put the mug back on my nightstand and lay down, facing my boyfriend who is still awake, just watching, making sure I was okay.

"Next time, promise me you'll wake me up, even if I have work, it doesn't matter." Sunghoon tells me.

"I will, I promise." I say.

He smiles a little, "Good girl." He says as he pecks my forehead. "You feeling sleepy?" Sunghoon then asks. I sleepily nod, the sleepytime tea really doing its job. He doesn't say anything he just pulls me a little closer. I shut my eyes and minutes later, I'm asleep.

Little did I know, Sunghoon had made sure to stay awake until I'd fallen asleep. He wanted to be there for me, just in case if I couldn't fall asleep. He liked doing stuff like that, being there for me even when I didn't realize he was. He didn't need the validation of knowing that I knew he was there for me, and me thanking me for doing so. He liked knowing I was cared for me and he liked being the one to take care of me.
