In the darkness of the room, I could hear Sehun tossing and turning in his bed every once in a while, followed by repeated soft whimpers. It worries me to see him like this. I've never seen him like this before and had no idea what was wrong or how to help him.
I slipped quietly out of my bed and tiptoed over to his side, crouching down and trying to adjust my eyes to the dark. Once I could finally see slightly, I leaned in close to check on him.
"Sehun?" I whispered. He turned towards me but didn't wake up, still slightly whimpering. I could just barely see him shaking and his face looked mildly pained. And then I thought back to when we were kids and had gone camping once.
~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt something strange touch me. I rubbed my eyes and then blinked a few times before I could finally see my best friend, Oh Sehun, laying in my sleeping bag with me.
"Oppa? What are you doing?" I asked.
"Sh," he cooed quietly. "I had a bad dream."
"Oh. You want to sleep with me?"
"Can I?"
"Of course you can! I'll protect you from the scary things!" I grinned. I got up and opened my sleeping bag all the way and lay it on the ground in our tent, then I took Sehun's and I did the same, laying it on top of mine so it was like a bed. Then I took both our pillows and put them next to each others before we both climb back in.
After snuggling up together, I took Sehun's hands in mine and put my forehead against his, looking right into his eyes. "Remember that it's all in your head. But even so, I'm right here on the outside to protect you from the scary things on the outside so you don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Gamsa, Jihyun," he smiled. "I'll always be here for you too. If you ever get scared or have problems, come to me first."
"I will if you do too," I nodded. After that, we both closed our eyes and while I was drifting off to sleep, I felt Sehun kiss my forehead.
"I'll be here forever. Please don't ever leave me," he whispered against my skin before putting his forehead against mine again. After that, I could only assume he was sleeping.
~~~~~~~~~~
We were in the fourth grade then. That was the same year that we exchanged dreams for our futures, when we both said we would marry each other and rule the universe with our music and good looks. It was cute and funny to think about. I'm not sure if Sehun remembers that though, but I laugh when I think about it.
He must be having nightmares again. I hope I can help him the same way I did then. I had always wondered what it was that had scared him so much then and now I'm wondering if it's the same thing or something new. Even so, I didn't even think about it when I shook him gently to wake him up.
"Jihyun?" he squinted and asked sleepily.
"Are you having nightmares again?" He didn't answer so I assumed he was. "You can sleep with me if you want. I mean, not sleep with me like, that way! But you know, sleep next to me?"
He attempted to chuckle but it came out lower than usual, making me blush. He got up and took my hand, leading me to my bed and I was thankful it was dark enough in the room to where he couldn't see the color of my face. Even so, my body temperature is slowly rising and my hands might start sweating soon because I'm so nervous.
You're practically committing suicide right now, Jihyun. You invited the impossibly amazing Oh Sehun to sleep in your bed and you're going to be in that bed too and you're going to be dead. Kal Jihyun, you pabo! You can't take back what you said now!
He waited for me to lay down before climbing under the blanket after me, settling next to me, pressed against me. Taking both my hands like I did for him when we were younger, he turned to face me and instinctively, I did the same. We pressed our foreheads together just like then too and not too soon after, I could tell he had fallen back to sleep.
Many deep breaths later, I had finally calmed down about him being this close to me and started drifting off to sleep too. But before that, I needed to say one thing that would ease my heart for a while, possibly.
"Sehun, saranghae," I felt that it was my turn to do this, so I kissed his forehead softly and then went back to resting my forehead on his. After I was sure that he didn't hear me and was deep in sleep, I finally relaxed again and slowly drifted to sleep too.

Hey there! I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure that I've talked to you guys before. If I haven't, I'm Tomoyo, nice to meet you. Anyways, I decided that because this is a EXO fanfiction and recently I've been watching a lot of misheard lyric videos, I would just randomly show you them too.
Also, there will be both M and K versions of each. I think a lot of the M versions are funnier and I actually found two different youtubers that have really funny ones. Once you see these, you won't be able to unhear a lot of them. I can't listen to Kyungsoo in Mama in a serious way. You'll see what I mean if you haven't seen these. If you have, you're still welcome to watch them again because they are funny. I wouldn't blame you.
*THESE ARE NOT THE REAL LYRICS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT WONDER.
