Changkyun stayed up all night, tossing and turning in his sleep. He couldn't sleep at all, his mind racing with thoughts. A part of him wanted to return to Nubility badly, and yet there was another part that urged him to persevere on. 


You've came this far, don't give up now. 


He must really be lacking sleep, for he began to see himself in a tinier, angelic version, seated on his shoulder, wearing a white robe with a golden halo on top of his head, talking to him.


But they treat you like dirt, you should just leave. Nubility will treat you so muchhh better.


A devil version of himself, as small as the angelic one, with red horns on both side of his head, appeared on the other side of his shoulder, trashing its pitchfork violently towards the angel as he spoke.


Yup, he must be going crazy.


Changkyun groaned from the noises of both the angelic him and the devilish him bickering on  who is right. Gaining a headache quickly, he sat up in his bed, causing the wooden frame to creak. 


He widened his eyes, alarmed, as the two tiny versions of himself disappear - thankfully. He looked around with his blood-shot eyes to check if he had woken up the hyungs. Thankfully, Wonho and Jooheon were still sound asleep.


Moving away from the bed to the living room as stealthily as possible, he made his way onto the couch and laid there, hoping the sofa would help bring him to dreamland. It wasn't long before another voice broke the silence.


"Changk-"


Changkyun sat up in shock, his forehead banging into the person. He gasped. "You startled me!" 


Shownu chuckled as he watched the younger massage his forehead. 


"Hyung, don't your forehead hurt?"


"Nope, I'm made of steel." He joked.


"Very funny. What are you doing here?" 


"Why? Can't I be here?" Changkyun realized his mistake and rushed to correct it. "I'm sorry! I mean-"


"No, I'm sorry." Changkyun glanced up. What? Did Shownu just apologize? What for?


Shownu cleared his throat. "Tea?" 


Changkyun nodded.


And that was how the members woke up in the morning to find the youngest and oldest of the group sleeping soundly at the kitchen table, with two cups of half finished tea on the table.
