When Jisung woke up again, he was still lying in Hyunjin's big bed, the older still nestled in his arms. Jisung sighed softly, carefully extracting one arm from Hyunjin's hold. He glanced at his phone and noticed the time—he had slept for two hours. What caught his attention even more, though, were the countless messages from Felix.

Lixie😇: You had a livestream with Jinnie?
Lixie😇: How?? 
Lixie😇: And how did you manage to dom him?
Lixie😇: Especially making him slip into subspace??
Lixie😇: And why didn't you call me to join? (._.)

Sungie🐿️: It all just happened.* 
Sungie🐿️: Jeongin called in sick, and the staff didn't inform Hyunjin beforehand, so I was kinda the only one available Hyunjin agreed to stream with.
Sungie🐿️: And don't ask me how I managed to dom him. I've never done it before, and I had to take care of him without really knowing what to do.

Jisung sighed again, placing his phone back on the nightstand.

"I'm sorry." Hyunjin's soft voice startled Jisung. He hadn't noticed the older was awake and clearly had seen the messages exchanged with Felix.

"It's okay," Jisung replied calmly. "I was just a bit shocked when you didn't reply during the stream, but I managed to handle it."

Hyunjin sat up, guilt evident on his face. "The stream wasn't even planned, and I could've seriously messed up. You told me you'd never done something like this before, especially taking care of someone in subspace, yet I still let myself slip into it."

Jisung gently interrupted him. "Hyunjin, please stop. Yes, it was stressful at first, but nothing bad happened. You didn't demand much—just cuddles mostly. And once I figured out what you needed, it wasn't that hard. We both enjoyed it."

Hyunjin sighed deeply, falling back onto the bed. "I still feel bad, though. I promised we'd do something relaxing, and you ended up having to take care of me."

Jisung chuckled softly, lying back down. "It's not like it was a chore. Besides, you helped me along the way. You're not that demanding." He pulled Hyunjin back into his arms.

"Can we cuddle a bit longer? I'm still tired," Hyunjin murmured with pleading eyes.

Jisung smiled. "Of course."

The "short" cuddle turned into an entire day, with Hyunjin barely letting Jisung leave the bed, except for brief bathroom breaks and to collect the food they ordered. Jisung didn't mind, though. They watched movies and stayed wrapped up together, relaxing in each other's company.

Midway through their second movie, Jisung suddenly paused it. "Hyung, why didn't you want to film with one of the lower-ranked actors? They've got more experience than me..."

Before he could finish, Hyunjin slapped a hand over his mouth. "Because they're toxic, Jisung. I worked hard to get to the top, and if I chose one of them, it would've turned into a competition. I didn't want that. You, on the other hand, aren't in any rank, and..." Hyunjin hesitated. "I find you interesting. Felix seems to like you too, so I thought, why not give you a chance? And you proved yourself."

Jisung blinked, caught off guard. "Really?"

"Yeah." Hyunjin smiled, softer now. "Most people leave after a stream, especially if I accidentally slip into subspace. Even experienced partners. But you stayed. You took care of me, even when I got clingy. That makes you special to me, more than most."

Jisung was at a loss for words. "I... I didn't know it meant that much."

"You don't have to say anything. Just... know that I appreciate it. And I'd like us to be friends."
