Alex's pov

I continue to run my fingers through his hair and start to notice him drift off to sleep. Thank god! He needs to sleep. I've been doing research, I know weird, and I found out that's why he keeps getting migraines so much. He's stressing himself out and he's not getting enough sleep.

After awhile when I know he's heavily asleep I stop playing with his hair and just look at him. Noticing all the things I haven't before. Like how he has a tiny mole under his bottom lip. He's told me about how he got his scar before, but it's more noticeable with him laying in my lap.

Trying not to be creepy I don't look for long, but long enough to know I wouldn't mind waking up and looking at this face every morning.

I get on my phone and let him nap for a bit longer. I don't have to go back home until 7:30 and it's only 4:30 right now. As I'm scrolling through my Instagram feed I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

I look up and notice it's Hoseok. He smiles and waves at me and I return the gesture. He slumps down in the love seat beside the couch and looks at the sleeping Jungkook then back to me.

"Is this a new technique of studying?" He asks with a laugh and I laugh with him.

His laugh is contagious.

"Uh not really, he wasn't focusing and kept yawning like every second so I'm letting him take a quick nap." I explain and he nods smiling.

"That was very nice of you, I'm glad kookie has a friend like you." He says happily and I smile.

Right just a friend.

I've never hated being called "just a friend" more than I have right now.

But he's telling the truth. We are just friends. We've only been on one date and that's it. Yeah we've gotten closer after that said date, but it still sucks being called "friend".

"Yeah he's already stressed the way it is and I know he'll only stress himself out more. So he deserves this right now." I say and glance down at him. Not noticing the small smile that made its way onto my face.

"Okay now that's cute." He says suddenly and I look up. He's smiling wide at me and I can feel the blush rising on my face.

"You really like him don't you?" He asks quietly. I think that's the quietest I've ever heard him. I laugh awkwardly and he notices as his eyes go wide.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I can see it in the way you look at him. I'm sorry if he's to oblivious to that." He says.

Before I could say anything else I hear more footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Horse stop bothering the poor girl." Yoongi says with a sigh and Hoseok looks at him with the deadliest, but funniest glare I've ever seen.

"Okay listen here you turtle face looking grandpa walking-" he gets cut off by Jin.

"Boys enough! Kookie is sleeping."

"Not anymore."

I look down at my lap and come face to face with Jungkook. He smiles at me and sits up moving back to the place he was sitting before.

"Look what you did!" Hoseok yells to Yoongi and Yoongi gives him a look.

"Really? You really want to put the blame on me?" He asks raising a eyebrow challenging and Hoseok quickly shakes his head. Mumbling a "never mind" while slumping down in his seat.

"Dumb and dumber knock it off and come help me fix dinner." Jin says and walks into the kitchen.

Yoongi and Hoseok groan, but follow his orders and follow him in their.

"Did you sleep well?" I ask turning to Jungkook whose already with a book in his face.

"Yeah, thanks I didn't realize how much I needed sleep." He says and laughs a little.

"You kept yawning and I know you weren't paying attention, so the nap was definitely needed." I say and he smiles at me before going back to his book.

"I don't know how you did it, but I was out real quick." He closes his book and looks at me curiously.

I shrug not knowing what to say or tell him and he leans back, still looking at me. I smile awkwardly and he laughs.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing." He says with a smile.

I expect him to look away and continue with his studying, but he doesn't. What is up with him?

"Alex can I tell you something?" He asks and suddenly I'm nervous.

"Of course, is everything okay?" I ask and he sighs sitting straight up.

"I like....someone and I don't know how to tell her. Could you help me out?" He asks and thank god no one can hear my heart because they would've heard it break.

Of course he likes someone. How could he not? I'm probably the biggest idiot right now. How could I think it'd be me?

I mean after all we are just friends.
