The warmth of your lips on his cheek surprised him, a soft gesture that somehow unravelled the hardened shell he'd always kept around himself. Your fingers, light and gentle as they traced the curve of his jawline, left him breathless in a way he hadn't felt in a long time. He could have brushed it off, pulled away with that same coldness he often used as a shield, but he found himself rooted, unable to deny how you softened him.

Your words came out soft, like a whispered promise: "I'm so sleepy, but I wanna stay awake with you for a bit." Your eyes began to flutter, heavy with the weight of sleep, and he watched you closely as if memorizing every flicker, every gentle rise and fall of your breath.

Sunghoon's hand reached up, almost instinctively, brushing a stray lock of hair away from your face. His fingers lingered, gently cupping your cheek, his thumb moving in slow, soothing circles. He watched as your eyes fluttered closed, only to open again, struggling to stay awake to be with him.

A faint, rare smile played at the corners of his mouth as he leaned in, his lips hovering close to your forehead. "Close your eyes, sweetheart," he murmured, his voice softer than usual, a slight hint of warmth breaking through. "I'll be here when you wake up."

But you didn't want to close your eyes, not yet. A sleepy smile tugged at your lips, and you shook your head, your fingers tracing lightly over his wrist, feeling the steady, reassuring pulse beneath your fingertips. "If I close my eyes, you'll disappear," you mumbled, half in a daze, half lost in the comfort of his touch.

Something softened in Sunghoon's gaze, a crack in the walls he'd always kept so carefully guarded. He sighed quietly, brushing his lips against your forehead in a gentle, lingering kiss. "I'm not going anywhere," he whispered, his tone almost a promise, a rare tenderness slipping into his voice. "Not now... and not ever."

The gentle warmth of his words lulled you, the tension slipping from your shoulders as your eyelids grew heavier. But before sleep could fully claim you, you reached up, your fingers trailing once more along his jawline, a touch so soft it nearly undid him.

"Goodnight, Sunghoon," you whispered, your voice trailing off as sleep took you.

He watched you, his gaze lingering on your peaceful expression. And as the cabin lights dimmed, he felt something stir within him—a quiet, vulnerable warmth he hadn't allowed himself to feel in so long. In the silence, he sat there, his hand resting gently over yours, guarding you as you slept, just as you had quietly guarded a piece of his heart.
