"There was a time I'd dip my feet

And it would roll off my skin

Now every time I get close to the edge

I'm scared of falling in"

Nam Soon woke up with a familiar scent filling up his nose and an unusual warmth surrounding him. He opened his eyes trying to figure out where he was, but this was the last place he'd ever expected to be - he was lying against Heung Soo's chest as his body was bending over his, only a few inches away. He had no idea how they got in this position - he didn't even remember when they fell asleep.

Heung Soo was still deep asleep and completely unaware of their position. He was sleeping so peacefully that Nam Soon just couldn't wake him up. He looked up at his calm face and it looked so warm ... so handsome.

This perfect man in whose arms he was sleeping - who was so close to him, this beautiful man sleeping beside him was the man that Nam Soon loved. He could try to deny it as much as he liked, but that was the truth - it was the undeniable truth that he loved Park Heung Soo.

He held his breath and slowly approached him. His face just a few inches away from Heung Soo's, who was still sleeping soundly. Nam Soon admired that face so close to him; his messy hair falling over his closed eyes, his smooth skin, and especially those pouty lips of his - those pinky and juicy lips that he wanted so badly to kiss. His heart was begging for it - for just a gentle and innocent kiss. To be able to feel how it would be like to kiss him just this once.

But instead, he leaned over Heung Soo's warm chest again, taking advantage of the proximity that they involuntarily got themselves in, and closed his eyes once more. If Heung Soo was still asleep, Nam Soon wouldn't be the first to move away.

Just this time he would close his eyes and stay like that - just this once, as if nothing else mattered.

"I wish that I was stronger

I'd separate the waves

Not just let the water

Take me away"

Heung Soo woke up with a heavy aching in his back because of the position in which he fell asleep. He moved his hands to the nape of his neck, but then he realized something was pressing against his chest.

It didn't take long to notice that it was Nam Soon, sleeping soundly over him. Before he could even notice that his heart skipped a beat for half a second, he hit the back of the boy's head with his right hand, making him wake up in surprise.

"Yah!" Nam Soon voiced out, touching the back of his head, near the place where he had been hit, and turned around to face Heung Soo.

"What are you doing?" Heung Soon muttered before Nam Soon had the time to complain.

"Don't know, why did you have to hit me?" Nam Soon hissed and tried to hide the way his cheeks flushed. But he didn't need to, since Heung Soo's attention was now on his cell phone that rested over the central table.

"Oh fuck," Heung Soo exclaimed, typing a number into his phone, not bothering to leave the room this time. Nam Soon watched silently as he tried to call three more times, but apparently there was no answer.
