Namjoon's POV
***
No that can't be true. I would never say anything like that about her. Even in my sleep. I'm sure of it.

"What did you say?"

Maybe I heard her wrong.

"Something like saringhae or saringay."

Oh man. I was hoping I had heard her wrong. But it's true. I told her that I loved her in my sleep. At least she doesn't understand Korean. At least I hope not.

"I don't know. I was probably just mumbling something else. My friends say that I do that a lot. Just mumble incoherent stuff."

I lied. I promised myself I would never do that after... Never mind.

"Okay..."

She doesn't seem to quite believe me. I need to distract her quickly.

"Hey. Let's play a board game."

"Alright. How about snakes and ladders?"

"Sure. But first let's bring some games and cards up to your room just in case the water rises up any more."

"Okay. Good idea. I'll choose 5 and you choose 5 to bring up."

10 minutes later we were playing crazy eights in Abigail's bedroom. She had already beat me 3 times and we were moving on to our 4th game. I'm going to beat her this time.

I shuffled the cards and then dealt them out. Yes! My hand was great. I had 3 eights, the queen of spades, 3 twos, and a jack. All good cards.

"Yes! Finally! I won! Hahaha. I beat you! Yeahhhhhh!"

"Yeah. Great job, I'm sure that's going to be a great legacy for you. Winning one little game of crazy eights because you ended up, by chance, with all useful cards."

"Oh, whatever, I still beat you. You're probably just upset about it."

"Mmhm. Sure, whatever makes you sleep at night...
Anyways. I think that I have some cookies and juice in a cupboard but it's up high. I'm going to need you to lift me up."

"Why don't I just get it?"

"Because it's too high up for even you to reach. It's going need both of our height put together."

"Okay then. Where is it?"

"Over here above the closet. Now cup your hands together and I'm going to put my hands on your shoulders and my foot in your hands and you have to lift me up. Can you handle that?"

"Of course I can. Now go."

She puts her foot in my hands and then rests her hands around my neck but then quickly slides them down to my shoulders so quickly that I almost wouldn't even have realized that she had done it if my skin wasn't still burning from where she had touched me.

As soon as I'm sure that she has her balance I hoist her up so that she can reach the cupboard that supposedly contains cookies and juice.

"Just a little more. I've almost got it."

I push her foot up enough so that she can get the box of cookies and the container of juice from the back of the cupboard.

But then her foot slips and then she loses her balance and we both tumble down to the floor. She lands on top of me and puts a hand on either side of my head to get up. But then she stops.

With her face just inches from my own.
