[  Mark's POV  ]

The wait for the bus didn't consume a lot of time. Donghyuck and I sat at the back part, since the bus wasn't jam packed anyway.

The whole bus ride was full of silence, but don't get me wrong, it was the comfortable type of silence. Donghyuck stared outside, his eyes half-opened and his lips parted. The bus was kinda bumpy since there were lots of humps, and eventually, Donghyuck was rocking his head back and forth, completely asleep through the ride.

"Aish," I let out a small smile at the view of him as I let him lean onto my shoulder. Donghyuck then nuzzled the crook of my neck as he hummed into his sleep. I could feel his voice vibrating through my skin, and to be honest, it was ticklish.

Donghyuck was so near to me that his scent suddenly ran through my nose. And I kid you not, he smelled really reaally good. Donghyuck smelled like vanilla, like cocoa sherea butter, and have I told you that I really loved that scent?

Unconsciously, my eyes found their way through his sleeping face. He looked so serene asleep, like he won't be able to pull pranks to you or give sassy comebacks. He looked like an angel asleep that one could never even think that this boy could be a little devil.

He has long eyelashes. He has a lot of tiny moles, too, making his face the night sky filled with constellations. His lips were plump and rosy as they were pressed in a thin line.

Donghyuck really looks beautiful, so handsome yet so fragile.

I was feeling a little bit sleepy too, but I chose to stay awake so I could check whether we've reached our destination already. I've to look out. Donghyuck did a lot of effort in trying to lighten the burdens off my chest, this is the least I could do for him.

Funny how we literally just met today-- well, that's for me. As for him, I don't know much, but I guess he already knew me even before.

And I definitely thank the heavens for having the chance to be with him today.

Minutes passed when I suddenly remembered that I don't know his address yet. He rode the same bus as me on the way home, but what if we have different destinations?

I thought of waking him up to ask him, but I don't think I could do it yet since he looks so peaceful asleep. He must be so exhausted.

Finally, we've reached our destination. I shook Donghyuck's shoulders, trying to wake him up from his deep slumber, but I never knew that this boy is such a heavy sleeper. I heaved a sigh and decided to piggyback ride him because he's not really waking up.

Just as we were about to get off, the bus driver gave me a knowing smile, "Bring your boyfriend home safe, alright?"

"W-what, he's not my boyfriend!" I spat back at him, which he returned with a heartily laugh. We then got off the bus as it roared away.

The bus stop and the streets were a bit deserted. Guess I have to carry Sleeping Beauty in my shoulders, then.

Shoot. I still don't know his address.

It left me with no choice but to really wake him up. I shook him, tried to talk directly in his ear, but to no avail. I almost lost hope, and slapped his face real hard.
