*smack*

Woonhak yelped in pain when he felt the firm slap on the back of his head only to see Riwoo staring at him judgmentally, "Hyung, that hurt!" He sulked, rubbing the back of his head. Riwoo scoffed, "You're not going to even let them have their privacy? Don't listen in and just go sit down." He nagged, walking over to where Jaehyun and Sungho were seated.

Woonhak looked back at the wall which he'd been pressed against a few seconds ago, attempting to listen in on Taesan's and Leehan's conversation after the rest of the group had left. His eyes dropped and disappointment overcoming him, "Ah.. fine," he said as he dragged his feet behind himself, yawning as he followed Riwoo to the couch.

Sungho turned over to look at Jaehyun who was seated next to him, their shoulders almost touching even though the sofa had much more space to spare. Sungho didn't question it though, he knew that Jaehyun simply needed to be close to somebody for comfort, even if he wasn't hugging or clinging onto them, simply being near a trusted person always made Jaehyun more comfortable.

Riwoo and Woonhak sat down, Riwoo plopping himself down next to Sungho and Woonhak next to Jaehyun. The moment the youngest sat himself down comfortably, Jaehyun's head tipped over to Woonhak's shoulder and found it's place there, his furrowed eyebrows slightly relaxing and his stressed eyes closing. He didn't feel fully free of his worries but just resting on Woonhak's shoulder seemed to help release a little of the worries plaguing him.

Sungho kept his eyes trained on Jaehyun, feeling worried for the leader of their group. Seeing Jaehyun legitimately stressed brought an air of worry to the group as Jaehyun rarely ever got actually mad or stressed. They preferred him jumpy, loud and cheerful anyways. Even less emotional members like Taesan and Sungho, no one likes a sour atmosphere.

Sungho reached up for Jaehyun's shoulder and placed a firm but gentle grip on it, earning Jaehyun attention as the latter cracked opened his eyes and peered over at Sungho. Sungho's gaze was filled with concern but a warmth that spelled support, "Are you okay?" Sungho asked, gently massaging Jaehyun's shoulder. Jaehyun felt his stress reduce, overtaken with the happy thought of his members looking out for him. He gave Sungho a smile and nodded, showing his acknowledgement and appreciation, "I'm okay, thanks Sungho." He reached up for Sungho's hand with his own and pulled it away from his shoulder, only to intertwine their hands in a comfortable hold. Sungho simply smiled back, glancing down at their tangled hands, he gently rubbed his thumb on the back of Jaehyun's palm, lazily filling the empty span of skin with sensation.

"Oh, he's asleep." Riwoo suddenly peeked up, looking over Sungho's and Jaehyun's shoulder, his eyes fixated on Woonhak who was sleeping soundly with his neck bent back in an uncomfortable looking arch over the sofa's back rest. Jaehyun lifted his head off Woonhak's shoulder and sat himself straight. "Put him on your lap, his neck is going to hurt if he sleeps like that," Riwoo states, arching his own neck to watch as Sungho grabs Woonhak's head while Jaehyun gently holds Woonhak's shoulder, both of them laying the youngest down across both their laps.

Woonhak, being a big growing kid, takes up all of Jaehyun's lap and half of Sungho's as he sleeps innocently, overtaken by the late hours and prior energy-depleting emotional rollercoaster.

Jaehyun's rolls his head over to look at Sungho and Riwoo before he himself yawns. Sungho doesn't say much but simply cradles the side of Jaehyun's head and pulls Jaehyun's head down to rest on his shoulder. The smaller male doesn't protest, instead, he lets out a small chuckle after making himself comfortable on Sungho's shoulder, "Your shoulders are really broad, it's like they're made for people to lay on." He jokes. Sungho simply scoffs, a smile rising to his face as he pats Jaehyun's head, "Just go to sleep," he says. Lastly, after a moment of silence, Sungho turns to Riwoo who was staring down at his phone screen with tired eyes. Sungho glanced back at the other two before he decides that he also feels sleepy.

"Riwoo," Sungho calls out in a hushed and soft tone. Riwoo looks up, eyes inquisitive but obviously not very well-focused due to their tiredness. Sungho nudges down with his chin towards his shoulder, his own eyes now heavy-lidded and sleepy, even more so now that he was surrounded by warm and cozy bodies, their sleepiness was affecting him too. "Lay on my shoulder, these two are asleep so we should get some rest too. It's pretty late." He says. Riwoo looks at him for a moment before letting out a small hum, adjusting himself on the sofa before laying his head on Sungho's other shoulder, eyes closed and his body leaning to Sungho's direction.

After the other three start letting out soft snores, Sungho can no longer keep himself awake. His hand that was still being held by Jaehyun's squirms a little to get itself comfortable before he lets his eyelids drop, head leaning against the top of Riwoo's as he slowly drifts off to sleep.

If anyone was to walk into the lounge right now, they would see a pile of 4/6 boynextdoor members laying on top of each other, sleeping with cozy, angelically comfortable looks on their faces, all in a concentrated pile. It looked like a picture of a pile of puppies and a singular kitten in a nap pile. Adorable.

(A/N : If you use AO3 and read this story there ( I upload on both wattpad and ao3) , you might've noticed some differences/ inconsistencies between versions. This I because I do a different separate read through before I upload on AO3 so if you're wondering which one is canon, the AO3 version is (I also fuck up details for the A03 version sometimes but I fix them as soon as I see them).

If you're interested, I have uploaded another story called ' The Park Sungho Loop', it also has romance in it. I haven't gotten around to uploading it on wattpad because I have to make sure the details are correct first so if you use Ao3 and want to read more of my work, I would definitely appreciate you checking it out there!)
