I fasten one earring, leaning closer to the mirror to clip on the other, when I hear the front door creak open. Glancing into the mirror just in time, I see Soobin's tired figure trudge into the room, his hair adorably tousled.
Without a word, he flops down on the bed, his face buried in the pillow.
Softly chuckling I finish putting on the other earring, "Tired?"
I hear a low sleepy "Mmhhhh" in agreement, his voice muffled by the pillow.
Turning back to the mirror, I catch his sleepy gaze reflected back at me, and after a moment, he lifts his head. "You going somewhere?"
"yeah to the mall" I answer, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear as I straighten out my outfit.

"*yawnnnnn* Alone?" he asks rubbing his eyes as he sits up.
"Hana's got plans with Seojun so....yeah" I reach for my necklace, ready to clasp it around my neck when I feel his gaze on me.
"Can I come?" Soobin suddenly straightens, his sleepy expression replaced by a spark of enthusiasm.
I can't help but laugh, raising an eyebrow at him. "Weren't you just about to pass out?"
"Not anymoreee" he says with a grin. "I'm wide awake now."
I shake my head, amused. "Alright, sure, but let me just—" I fumble with the clasp on my necklace, struggling to get it just right.
Noticing my frustration, Soobin stands up walking closer, his warm hands reaching out.
"Need help?" he asks, voice soft.
I pause, glancing at him through the mirror. "Yes, please."
His fingers brush gently over mine as he takes the necklace, and his warm breath brushes against the back of my neck as he fastens it with such care, his fingers lingering for a second longer than necessary.
I look at him in the mirror, catching his soft expression as he focuses. My heart beats a little faster, and I finally muster a teasing, "You sure you're not tired? You look like you could fall asleep any second."
He chuckles softly, his eyes meeting mine in the reflection, warm and impossibly gentle. "Don't worry" he says, a quiet smile spreading across his lips. "You've woken me up." He pauses, his voice turning tender as his fingers trail lightly over my shoulder.
