Alone (Michaeng)

Chapter 5: Closer

Chaeyoung's POV

Yes, we did say goodnight to each other. But still I can't get that out of my head. It's not like it's the first time that I kissed her... It's just that, uhm... earlier's kiss is kind of passionate I guess? She's just a good kisser in short. I almost got petrified by it, thankfully I didn't. I looked at my phone and it says that it's already 1:30. Damn, I'm sure I won't be able to wake tomorrow early. I decided to listen to music (Alone which I covered) and plugged my earphones to my ears.

"What are you listening to?" A voice came from the other bed. She's also awake. I thought she was already asleep since I saw her lying beautifully while hugging her penguin stuff toy.

"Am I talking to no one? I know you're also awake." She said, a bit annoyed.

"Sorry, It's a song I covered. I don't know if you know it but the title is Alone." Replying her.

"Would you mind me listening to it?" She asked. I nodded.

She listened to it, like 3 times repeatedly. I think she was judging it. 'What do I do? For sure my voice is so messed up and bad to listen to.' I said to myself while losing a lot of confidence.

"Are you sure this is your voice?" I smirked. Well I wasn't expecting that kind of responce.

"Yes. Are you doubting me?"

"No, it's just too beautiful to be YOUR voice." She said emphasizing the word 'your'. Then whose is it if it isn't mine?... I just glared back at her.

"Then would you mind if you sing it for me?" This time I couldn't reply. I know I listen to this song but the last time I sang it was the day when me and my ex broke up so... I hesitated but later then I nodded. I cleared my throat and fixed my hair and started breathing thoroughly.

Singing this brought a lot of memories, but it contains memories that make me cry.

"Daebak, I didn't know you could sing like that. Your voice is angelic." She complimented me, and now my face is red all of a sudden.

"T-thanks." Again few minutes have passed, None of us were talking but still I can't fall asleep.

"Uhm..." She said, without continuing her sentence.

"What?"

"Nevermind." Turning her face away from me.

"What is it really?" It makes me curious if she have a question, request or something like that.

"Can I sleep next to you? I mean like in your bed with you?" I didn't respond to her request, how am I even going to respond to that? Earlier this day we just kissed, well it wasn't her fault though, but now she likes to sleep next to me? 'Girl, How can you be not awkward at this situation?' asking her mentally.

"See, I told you. I'll just sleep here." She said while hugging her penguin tighter. That's not what I meant.

"You can." I patted my pillow inviting her to come beside me and leaving some space for her.

"Did you just say that I can?" Staring at me confusingly.

"Then what did you hear?" As soon as I said that, she then carried her stuff toy and headed towards me.
