(Y/n) continued to sob in her hands, hugging herself closely with one arm, whilst Saeyoung didn't know what to do; sitting against the door in his bathroom on the floor, feeling extreme guilt and self hatred. 'What the hell am I supposed to do?' He thought to himself, fighting back rage.

After a short while of contemplating, Saeyoung finally just got up and went back into that room. He made no eye contact with her whatsoever, and just sat down to continue his work. Even though on the outside it seemed like he was unaffected by the previous events, on the inside, he was still very confused about the entire thing.

Saeyoung could see over his computer and see her tears and dispirited expression, but couldn't do anything but scrunch up his face and feel even more guilty. 'Argh, what do I do?' He thought to himself. He just continued his work, praying to himself that, eventually, the awkwardness would die off.

His prayers were answered, and eventually, (y/n) seemed to calm down and just.. sit there in silence.

Saeyoung was glad that (y/n) had calmed down, well.. he thought he would be glad, but somehow this was worse. It strangely reminded him of his own pain whilst growing up, and hated seeing anything remotely similar in someone else.

He sighed to himself and got out of his chair to sit next to her and sit in silence as well. She was silent and fiddled in her bag, grabbing her laptop and getting to write something on it. He looked curiously at her laptop asking "watcha doing?" He asked, trying his best to sound casual.  She looked at him and answered, "I'm.. trying to get the game server online" "Ah.." he replied and looked at the screen as she opened it.  It was filled with game codes. She was typing down something and a notification popped up on Saeyoung's computer.

He went over to check the notification, and his gaming station was back online! He sat back next to her and looked at her with surprise. "Oh my Honey Buddha Chips.. how did you do that? I wasn't even able to do that.. thank you so much!!" He was so happy, that in that moment, he forgot about the awkwardness and hugged her tightly.

(Y/n) flinched and patted his back. "I.. managed to save the disc that the codes stood on, and they gave me access to the launchers and made me able to put it online with my login." Saeyoung released her from his arms and looked at her with sparkling eyes "ya know, I'm really glad you're my assistant now; we'd make a pretty good team!" For the first time in quite a while, she let out a small smile "really?" "Totally! Here, let me show you what I've been working on!" He leads her to his computer and shows her his work. They're both really interested in this, so as they're discussing it, they have both forgotten about the awkwardness of earlier.

After a small bit of talking, she had started to smile more. "Actually, do you play LOLOL or has a friend that plays it?" "Yeah, my friend Yoosung, who's username is 'Superman Yoosung', plays LOLOL religiously haha, I only play when I'm super bored tho, cause the game is super easy, why?" "I have two new characters that need to be tested; I designed them." She smiled proudly. "Ohh!! That's so cool! Can I see?" (Y/n) opened her laptop and showed two characters; a glitchy, speedy character that wielded portals and was equipped with a large hammer, and a skinny yet strong character equipped with a large sword.

Saeyoung took a great liking to these characters, and knew Yoosung would as well. "That's epic! Yoosung will love these characters!!" "Would you and Yoosung.. want to try them out?" "Definitely!! I'l call him now!"

A few months have gone by, and it's felt like a few years because of how well Saeyoung and (y/n)'s gotten to know each other. They managed to finished the game with a bit of Yoosung's help and published it just now.

"Wow! We finally did it! Well done (y/n), these have been the best past months ever!" Saeyoung exclaims with a cheeky smile and hugging her. (Y/n) hugged him close to herself and replied "I loved these months". She smiled back as well.

Saeyoung had really developed feelings for (y/n) over those months, and really wanted to kiss her right now, but remembered about what happened last time, and would rather die before making things that awkward again.

(Y/n) held onto Saeyoung and laid her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for everything." Saeyoung blushed a bit but put one of his hands on the back of her hand and said "no, thank you." (Y/n) joked around saying "Why thank me" and made Saeyoung laugh, though, he couldn't help but think of all the ways of how he could 'thank' her, but pushed them out of his mind.

(Y/n) broke the hug and said "It's getting late, I'm gonna try and get some sleep." Saeyoung replied "Ok, go ahead!" He was kinda upset that he couldn't hold her for longer, but was also kinda glad because he felt that if he did, he wouldn't be able to control himself. "I'll go to bed too!" (Y/n) was able to pick up on Saeyoung's 'weird' reactions recently, and decided to play around with it a bit, and said to him "Would you want to join me?" Saeyoung was caught completely off guard "Wha-what!?" He was blushing madly and semi-hard; he had to keep his hands in front of his nose to keep back a slight nose bleed. (Y/n) just smiled and started walking, and Saeyoung couldn't think of anything else to do but to just follow her in disbelief.

(Y/n) went to get into her pjs in the bathroom before laying down, and Saeyoung put his glasses on her bedside table before slowly getting in bed whilst blushing. (Y/n) didn't seem to have a care in the world and just dozed off whilst snuggling close to Saeyoung and smiling. He just watched her sleeping so close to him, with a huge blush on his face. He whispers to himself "God.. I hope she doesn't feel how fast my heart is racing right now.." To Saeyoung's relief, (y/n) didn't seem to notice anything. Eventually, he dozed off as well, with the scent of her washed hair; her head resting on his chest.
