[Jeno]

"Where's Jiho?" I ask Renjun, who was playing with his phone. It's the fourth day of the club week and NCT is busy for the final performance tomorrow. Fortunately for Jiho, she doesn't have to be in the performance. She is also busy with managing the booths with Jungwoo and Youngho, who are also busy because of being in NCT, so now because of the lunch break, I want to see her for a while.

I still remember how he ruffled my hair last week while we were rehearsing, boy my heart went haywire. Maybe it's because no girl did that to me before. 

"Jiho? I think she's at the rooftop, she texted me that she was there 3 hours ago, so maybe she's still there." I nod before going to the rooftop.

When I got there, I saw Jiho sleeping on the bench. Here in SMA, you can actually spend your time at the rooftop because they have benches and tables here, the corners have tall fences but it's glass so students can see the city's skyline.

She looks so peaceful while sleeping in that small bench, it made me stare at her for a while, how can she sleep here when somebody can just steal her stuff away? I grabbed the nearest chair from the table and sat beside the bench, looking at Jiho while she calmly breathes. "You're such a deep sleeper, Kim Jiho."

Her hair slightly moving because of the wind, I smiled, "Maybe you wouldn't notice if someone kidnapped you. But of course, we wouldn't let that happen."

Then my eyes went to her lips, making me gulp. No Jeno, control yourself. Besides, she's your friend.

Right..?

[Jiho]

I woke up feeling that someone is whispering in my ear, Haechan was in front of my face, smiling, "Dude, it's 4:00 pm and you're still sleeping?" he said. I sat up and stretched my body, yawning in the process. "How long did I sleep?"

"You're here for.." Renjun looked at his watch then at me, "5 hours." I slept for 5 hours yet my body still feel tired, I yawned again before standing up. "You guys could've just woken me up, I feel bad for making you wait."

"It's okay, besides you look cute when you're out cold." Haechan tease making me roll my eyes at him. "Let's go then, where are the others?"

"Downstairs, playing something on their phones." Jaemin answered, Haechan then grabbed my arm and pulled me downstairs. "Hey, what were you doing with Jeno upstairs? He was late during our rehearsals."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Jeno? He was there?"

"Yep, Mr. Lee scolded him a little for staying there for an hour." "An hour?!"

He nodded, "You didn't know?"

I became confused, why was he there? He's busy right? I got guilty when Haechan mentioned that he was scolded. "I was sleeping, remember?"

"Weird, could it be?" He whispered, "What?"

"N-Nothing, let's just go. They're waiting for you."
