[5] Can't Sleep

[MINGYU]

I closed my eyes as I attempted to fall asleep.

Damn it.

Images of him keep flashing in my brain. His smile and his crinkled nose whenever he laughs, his eyes, all of him is keeping me up and I don't like it. I smiled to myself. Well, maybe a little bit. It's frustrating but it's a good feeling.

I think I'm going crazy. Ugh.

I closed my eyes again as I tucked myself under the covers and closed my eyes but suddenly my phone rang. I grinned to myself as I heard the ringtone. It's his. Yeah, I have a special ringtone for him. Don't laugh at me, I know for a fact that all of you do that too. I sat up on my bed and excitedly grabbed my phone from the table.

"Kim Mingyu, compose yourself." I whispered to myself as I coughed and answered the call.

"Hey." Wonwoo said from the other line. I smiled as I let his deep voice come into my ears as music.
"Hey." I said trying not to laugh from too much happiness.
"Not yet asleep?" He chuckled. Gosh, his laugh.
"Obviously no." I let out a small laugh. "Can't sleep." I admitted.
"Haha I guess you can't sleep because you're thinking of me aren't you?" He laughed and I can imagine the smug look on his face right now.
"Of course not. I have my life, thank you very much." I denied as I felt my ears reddened and hot.
"Then why aren't you asleep?"
"..." I fell speechless.
"See? You were definitely thinking of me." He continued to laugh. Is he crazy? What kind of question is that, of course I was thinking of him. Even as we speak, I'm still thinking of him. God, I think I'm going crazy.
"Wait. I- I do have a reason why I'm still awake." I stuttered as I tried to find a reason.
"You sure? 'Cause I'm pretty sure you're red as a tomato right now." I swear, I can see him grinning. WHY DOES HE KNOW.
"No, I'm not." Yeah cause I'm freaking red as the reddest apple you can find.
"Ok, let's hear your reason." He chuckled again.
"..."
"You don't have any reason at all!" He exclaimed and laughed hysterically. "You were thinking about me, admit it." He added.
"How can you say that?" I asked him playfully.
"Simply because I was thinking about you too."  I froze and then suddenly felt hot. I caught myself speechless and unable to answer.
"Haha, you still there?" He chuckled. Damn it, I really think I'm going crazy. "Hey Kim Mingyu, look out from your window." I hurriedly went to the window and gasped as I saw him sitting on the tree in front of my window. I ended the call.

"What the hell are you doing there?" I asked my eyes widening.
"I told you I can't sleep." He smiled smugly. No, that's not a smile. That's a grin. Gosh, why do I love him?
"And? Does sitting on a tree branch in 2am help you sleep?" I asked as I cracked a smile.
"No, seeing your face does." God, there he goes with his heart-punching lines again.
"How long were you sitting there?"
"Since, earlier."
I gasped. "Don't tell me you've been there all along?" He just laughed and clapped his hands like an idiot. I guess that's a yes.
"I hate you."
"But I like you."
"Fine, I like you too." He chuckled as he nodded.
"Now, I saw your face. We can both sleep."
"Wait, what, where." I stuttered.
"Duh, I'm going home or do you want me to sleep there?" He cracked another grin.
"No... Go home please." I said as I locked my window.

He laughed as he went down from the tree. He waved goodbye then he ran towards the darkness.

I smiled. I love midnight conversations. Especially if it's with him. I tucked myself in the covers and closed my eyes. His images flashed before my eyes... but this time, it made me sleep.
