Baekhyun couldn't sleep. He'd been tossing and turning for about an hour now. He just couldn't seem to force his body to relax; his mind to calm down.

Who was he kidding?

The real reason he couldn't sleep was because Yixing wasn't here with him.

Sighing, Baekhyun rolled over onto his stomach and smothered his face into his pillow. This was bad. Both Yixing and him were becoming too dependent on each other. It had come to a point where one couldn't even sleep peacefully without the other.

Ah who cared? Honestly, Baekhyun didn't give a fuck. So what? Let them depend on each other. On good days, Yixing's touch, his words, his smile were a source of constant encouragement. On bad days, they were the only thing that kept him going.

Sighing again, Baekhyun turned and reached for his phone on the nightstand. Unlocking it, he texted Yixing:

Baek

Hyung where r u???

Five minutes later, Yixing replied. Baekhyun quickly grabbed his phone to check his response as soon as he heard the notification. He'd be lying if he said he hadn't been waiting eagerly for a reply.

Yixing

At the practice rooms. Why?

Baekhyun sighed at his screen. Yixing was out practicing when he should've been sleeping. Again.

Baek

When u gonna be finished?

Yixing

Umm... not for at least an hour and a half.

Baekhyun sighed again.

Baek

K I'm coming over then

Yixing

No no. You don't need to come! Baek you should sleep...

Baekhyun ignored Yixing's protests. Shutting off his phone, he rolled out of bed. After throwing on a pair of pants and a t-shirt he grabbed his keys and left the bedroom.

On his way to the door leading out of the apartment, he ran into Kyungsoo in the living room. The younger boy was bending over Chanyeol whose long body was stretched out on the couch. Baekhyun smiled at Kyungsoo's attempts to shake Chanyeol awake, to no avail.

At the sound of Baekhyun's footsteps, Kyungsoo turned and caught his eye.

The younger boy sighed, "He just fell asleep here."

Baekhyun chuckled, "I'm sure you can wake him up if you try enough. If not, you can just cuddle up with him on the couch to keep him warm." He winked at Kyungsoo for emphasis.

Kyungsoo just rolled his eyes and sighed in exasperation. He changed the subject. "So where are you going at this hour, hyung?" he asked in a cheeky voice.

Baekhyun bit his lip. That little bastard.

"Well―uh... the practice rooms."

"You would never go to practice this late at night hyung," Kyungsoo scoffed. " Not by yourself. "
