(March, 2025)

Jimin is on the phone with her mother when Seulgi hears him talking to the older woman about her sleeping habit.

"She kicks in her sleep sometimes but I don't mind at all, eomeoni," he chuckles, "it's cute, actually. She's like a kitten."

So later that night, as the two of them are about to go to bed and Jimin is in the middle of arranging their pillows, Seulgi clears her throat, causing him to pause and tilts his head at her.

"Hm? What's wrong?"

Seulgi folds her legs underneath her thighs, back straight, and she slowly lifts her head to meet his gaze.

"Jimin-ah."

"Oh?"

"I'm..." She chews on her lower lip, hesitation colouring her eyes, before she clenches her fists and shakes her head inwardly. No, she has to do this. For Jimin's sake. "I'm going to be sleeping in the guest room tonight."

Jimin blinks.

And blinks.

And blinks.

Then his eyes widen at her declaration, and he starts to sputter. "H-Huh? Sleeping separately? T-tonight? B-but why—?"

Seulgi casts her gaze down, fiddling with her thumb. "You told eomma this afternoon that I kick in my sleep."

"O-Oh," Jimin swallows, panicking. "I-Is that why you want to sleep in a different room? Are you angry about that? Mian—I didn't really mean that, I mean – you only kick once, really, and I don't mind your cute kicks—"

Seulgi puffs her cheeks, sighing. "Not that. But you have to film a music video for your comeback tomorrow, right?" Seulgi then walks toward the door, bringing her pillow along with her. "I heard from your manager that it's going to take the whole day so I think at least tonight, you should have a proper sleep—"

But before Seulgi can even turn the doorknob around, Jimin strides across the room and swiftly pushes one hand against the door, forcing it to shut close, rendering it impossible to be opened. Seulgi freezes, and she peeks at him over her shoulder, swallowing nervously at the look in his eyes.

"Um...Jimin-ah."

"...What makes you think sleeping separately will make me sleep better, Seulgi-ya?" He whispers into her ear, and she feels a shiver unconsciously run down her spine at hearing his voice so close to her. 

Seulgi flushes, turning around to face him. "But it is true that I kick in my sleep. I want you to have a good night rest so that tomorrow you can go and shoot the scenes in optimum condition."

Jimin pouts. "I don't want to. I won't let you sleep in a different room for such a silly reason. Your kicks won't have any effect on my performance tomorrow."
