0.9 ;; thinking

that night yuta lay in bed, ignoring the loud snores escaping his roommate, johnny. he sighed, rolling over onto his side as he stared at the plain white wall, wondering what it was sicheng wanted to tell him.

after sicheng had that panic attack he hadn't said a word to him, resulting in taeyong telling him to just go back to his own dorm room. that was hours ago, it was now 1am and he had been in bed the whole time, just thinking.

he felt guilty. mostly because he had not been able to help sicheng but also, he couldn't help but think it was him that caused it. he was the only one there with sicheng and he knew the chinese boy did have something to tell him, so that must have been what he was thinking about to cause such a big reaction, it was the only thing yuta could think was the reason for it.

he let out a big huff before standing up and looking around the dark room before walking into the small bathroom and turning the shower on, hoping to distract himself from his thoughts.

after washing up yuta pulled on a random hoodie and sweatpants, grabbing his phone and plugging his earphones in. he placed them in his ears as he left his room, quietly locking the door behind him before wandering around. he wasn't sure where he was going, just somewhere, anywhere.

after a while he found himself outside of the dorm building, looking up at the sky, painting pictures with the stars as he walked in circles around the building. after maybe 4 laps yuta began to feel cold, pushing his hands into his pockets as he began heading back to the entrance. once near the door, he recognised a figure standing next to it.

"hyung" yuta said, approaching the male with a smile.

"yuta~" baekhyun said, stepping forward and wrapping his arms around his favourite nct member (but don't tell the others that) "what are you doing out this late?" he asked letting go of him.

"i don't really know.. just getting fresh air i guess, i have a lot on my mind" yuta replied, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"what's up?" baekhyun asked with a concerned look on his face.

"i just.. i don't know" yuta trailed off, looking down at the ground. after a moment of silence he spoke up again. "how did you know you liked chanyeol hyung?"

baekhyun smiled softly as he ruffled the youngers brown hair.

"you just.. do i guess. it's kind of like, just thinking of him made me smile, and being around him my heart would speed up and i'd get butterflies and just want to cuddle him and make him happy. but it was confusing, especially at first, because i didn't know what those feelings were" he explained, a smile gracing his lips the whole time.

yuta nodded in understanding, letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding before being interrupted from his thoughts by a familiar deep voice.

"baek!" the voice whisper shouted, running to the boy he called, wrapping his arms around him. that's when he noticed yuta stood in front of them.

"hi chanyeol hyung" yuta said, laughing quietly as the tall boys eyes widened in surprise before basically shoving baekhyun away from him.

"it's okay, me and yuta are pretty close, he already knows" baekhyun said, throwing his arm over yuta's shoulders with a smile.

"ah.." was all chanyeol replied, now finding his shoes to be the most interesting things in the world as his ears tinted red.

yuta smiled before turning to baekhyun and wrapping his arms around him slightly before pulling away.

"thanks for talking to me hyung but i'm getting cold so i'm going to head back now, i'll see you.. whenever i see you next" he said smiling, before bidding goodbye to the two, and walking back towards the entrance.

"i swear your japanese ass better text me why you asked that" he hears baekhyun shout from behind him. he let out a laugh, turning around and sending him the okay sign before opening the door and getting back into the warmth.

he walked back up to his room, unlocking the door and placing his phone back on charge quietly seeing as johnny was still sleeping before getting back into bed and falling straight asleep.
