me:
are you awake?
sent 1:27 a.m.

why am i up this late? shocker. i'm too scared to go to sleep.

i don't know what i'll see once i close my eyes.

so, i texted jaemin, hoping with everything in me he was still awake.

nana:
is everything okay?

me:
yeah i just can't sleep :/

me:
what are you doing up?

nana:
homework

nana:
do you want me to call you? you can talk to me until you fall asleep

nana:
or do you want me to ask jeno to call and sing you to sleep? lmao

me:
shut up :(

jaemin was the only one who knew about it — my small crush on jeno. whenever he had the chance, he'd find a way to make fun of me for it.

it's not like it's a big deal, it's only a small crush.

but whenever lee jeno smiles i swear my heart stops beating — jaemin knew this better than anyone else.

me:
i'd love it if you called me, though

me:
if you don't mind

nana:
of course i don't!

incoming call from jaemin
[ accept ] [ decline ]

"hey."

"i can't believe you chose me over jeno. it's crazy."

"oh my god, shut up."

even though he can't see me, i was still slightly embarrassed at the fact that my cheeks became hot so quickly at the mention of his name.

i could hear jaemin laugh on the other end of the line, and i let out a laugh, too.

he proceeded to make random conversation with me, which i greatly appreciated, because eventually i was already dozing off. he completely distracted me from my fears.

my eyes became heavy, and i was too tired to even speak properly.

"what'd you say?" he asked, unable to understand my tired slur.

i tried to repeat myself, but stopped once i opened my mouth. i fell asleep.

"y/n?"

"hello?"

he chuckled before realizing you had fallen asleep. "goodnight, y/n."
