CONNECTED BY FATE | Jaehyun BND

28 | Cuddles in the Hospital

The girl woke up with a horrible headache. She stood up and held her head.

She looked around, realizing that she was in the school's hospital. The bed where she was sitting on, suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was dark outside, even though the room was illuminated.

Yewon looked around the room and saw Jaehyun sleeping peacefully on the sofa a bit far  from her.

She then shivered. She mentally whined and stood up, she went over the windows – which were just behind the sofa with the sleepy boy,– and closed them. The girl looked for a blanked to cover the boy.

Some minutes later, she found two blankets and she quietly approached Jaehyun again and covered him.

He mumbled something and cuddled more with the blankets.

Yewon chuckled softly, founding the boy cute, and was going to lay back on the bed, but a hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

Yewon looked at her wrist and then at the boy, furrowing her eyebrows.

" He won't do what the characters do sometimes in the movies, right? Even if he's doing it unconsciously..." She thought.

– Don't leave me –. Jaehyun whispered, his voice soft.

His words were almost inaudible, but she still heard him.

Yewon sighed –. What is he saying?–. She whispered to herself.

She tried to yank her wrist out of his grip, but it tightened.

– Please, darling –. He pleaded–. I... i can't do anything to save you...

Yewon looked at him but she sat on the edge of the sofa, in front if him. He stopped cuddling with the blankets and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, nuzzling his head on her back.

Yewon's breath hitched. She didn't know what to do.

Her heartbeat fastened and a faint pink covered her cheeks.

Jaehyun's grip was firm yet loose. It was as if he didn't want to let go of her, as if he was scared of something.

He whispered something again, but she didn't hear him. As he was probably uncomfortable, she gently put his head on her lap and stroked his hair.

Not so long later, he whispered again and that's when she realized that the boy was having a nightmare, so she woke him up.

– Jae... wake up –. She mumbled, pinching softly his left cheek.

" Wait, Jae?" She thought, cringing at the nickname.

Jaehyun opened his eyes, making eye contact with her sweet and worried eyes.

He realized his position and blushed. He cleared his throat and stood up, still hugging her and with his head on her shoulder instead.

– Jaehyunnie, are you ok?–. Yewon asked.

He yawned and nodded his head. Despite his soft smile,  his tears and red eyes were saying something else.

– You're not –. She hugged him.

He tried to show her that he was ok, but he failed. So he cried, gripping her shirt as if his life depended on it.

Some minutes later, he calmed down and she looked at his face. He averted his eyes and she held his chin, msking him look at her.

– You had a nightmare, right?–. She softly said.

He nodded.

‐ Can you... tell me what was it about?

He left out a shaking breath.

– You... were suffering and i was there. I... i tried to help you but you couldn't hear me or see me. – He started –. I tried to move, but i was stick on the floor, the only thing i could do was to see you suffering and do nothing.

She sighed and patted his head. Understanding him.

– It's ok –. She said –. It wasn't real, or it was in the past. Don't worry about it too much.

He nodded, thankfully.

– I don't know what time is it now, but i'm sure it's late –. She stated–.  Let's sleep, mm?
– I don't want to lose you.
– You won't. Let's cuddle –. She smiled.

He nodded again and they stood up. She laid on the bed, leaving space for him.

– This is inapropiate for me to cuddle you –. He said, hesitating.

She rolled her eyes and grabbed his wrist, pulling him towards her.

He gasped as he fell next to her.

She wrapped her arms around his waist while he did the same with her shoulders, nuzzing his face on the crock of her neck.

She giggled –. You're going to get hurt like this.
He pouted –. I like your scent. You smell so sweet ~.
– Jae...

He sulked before changing his position a bit, now with his head on hers.

– Now? You'll leave me sleep?–. He asked, with a hint of amuseness.
– Yes. Good night.
– Night, darling –. He whispered the last.

She blushed at the nickname.

And in less than two minutes, they driffted to sleep.
