we settled in our guest room and let wonshik stay there until he wakes up–– while we were just watching some boring movies in the living room. 

"aren't you leaving?" hangyeom asked eunbi, who was continuously fiddling with her fingers.

"actually i've been waiting for you to ask that. i didn't want to be rude and go, leaving my boyfriend here. my mom is going to kill me so can you please take care of my boyfriend?" she said non-stop and smiled, prolly nervous because of her mom.

"why didn't you say it earlier, i would've let you, hangyeom is here to take care of you boyfriend." i looked at him who was already glaring at me. i just chuckled at him.

"well i'll just leave you two couple."

"urgh how many times do we have to tell everybody that we're not a couple!" i unintentionally squealed that made eunbi widen her eyes.

"you're.. not?" she asked, being cautious.

"she just said it?" hangyeom said in a sarcastic way and rolled his eyes, darting it again to the tv while sipping his drink.

"wonshik said that you are though?" 

"don't mind him, he's just a retard." hangyeom replied again, not even bothering to look at eunbi who's now speechless.

"you're actually saying that infront of his girlfriend," she mumbled, "i'll go now, take care of wonshik!" she said as she ran to the door and left.

"she's such a nosy person." he said as i laid my back on the soft couch. he then slung his arm on the couch where my head is, and i laid my head on it.

hangyeom suddenly received a phone call.

"what?!", he suddenly shouted, making me jump from my seat. "you're crazy, mom." he chuckled lightly which revealed his wide smile. "alright, im just here at hyerin's. i'll go there right now." he then hung up the call.

"what happened? and you're leaving me with wonshik? hell no!" i asked but he just ruffled my hair.

"we have no choice, babe." he jokingly said and i slapped his arm. "my mom nearly burned down the house and i have to be her knight in shining armor." 

"you're a bitch, atleast let him wake up first and get him to go with you?" 

"its late, hyerin, let him stay here."

"you know my mom! she'll be home in an hour!"

"then explain!"

i whined for a good minute, but it wasn't enough to make him stay.

"i'll go now! take care of him! love you!" he then gave his famous smiles and left the house, left me standing here, dumbfounded.

i, then got my way to the guest room where wonshik was, to see him beading cold sweats around his face. i ran to him, worried and checked his temperature.

"you're fucking sick!" i winced at the hotness of his forehead and neck, and got cold water and a towel.

as i came back, i saw him twisting and turning in the bed, 

nightmares.

i always had those, and what makes me calm was warmness. i tried holding his hand and reassuring it, rubbing circles on it.

"its okay, im here." i said as i stared at him.

little by little, his twisting and turning lessened. i then wiped his sweats and turned to leave.

but as i turned, i was greeted by a smirking mom, leaning on the door frame.

"why is he here again?" she said with a bit of sass in her voice, making me roll my eyes.

"he ran to a pole and i happened to be there also, with the nearest house. he is now sick and i need your magic hands." i said as she scoffed. 

"of course, you'll learn from me until you're married with him."

"mom!"

"what?" she said as she turned to look at me, going to our direction.

"he already has.. a girlfriend." i said the lsat part quietly, but still audible.

"awh, child, its okay, you still have hangyeom, i vote for them both." she jokingly said and i just slightly slapped her arm.

"im going to sleep now, you should also rest and leave him there."

"you're not waking him up?"

"its late mom, you think its still safe for him to walk to his house, more even, drive to his house?"

"you have a point there."

"i always say the one that makes sense." i said and laughed while looking at them.

"atleast sleep with him so that you can take care of him!"

"mom! stop it!" 

"im seriously telling the truth! stay with him so that you can take care of him." 

"shouldn't you be saying the opposite?"

"is there something to be aware of you two?" she smirked once again.

"no! urgh mom, okay, you win." i rolled my eyes at her and got another mattress to be settled at the side of the bed.

"goodnight, child. love you lots! don't even think about doing to something to the poor kid!" she once again, jokingly laughed it off.

i groaned as i closed my eyes, drifting to sleep.
