Sighs [K.TH]

Awhile

I collapsed on my bed and stared at the ceiling, something I do as a routine.

1:17 am

My digital clock read, as if reminding me of how insomniac I've gotten the past few months.

My mind trying to find its path to all dark thoughts, past, fears, as I struggled hard against it, trying to fall asleep.

Beep!

My phone buzzed out, making me lazily roll towards it out of curiosity.

A message. At this hour of time.

Hello, TaeTae.

It read.

And it took me half a second to recognize the person behind the screen, messaging me this.

I hastily opened my inbox, my tired , droopy eyes enlarging from happiness.

You: Hey! :)

I'll be honest and say, I really never thought she would actually message me, for I've given up any hope quite before and almost forgotten about this.

I stared at my bright screen waiting for her reply, even though my eyes stung for using phone at night.

(Y/N): I'm so sorry, for replying so late, I had to visit a relative and stay there, but plan changed. Sorry >.<

I chuckled.

You: it's okay! Don't worry. But I think you should sleep now. It's late.

(Y/N): I could say the same. Go to sleep, TaeTae.

You: I can't.

(Y/N): Neither can I, but if you don't sleep you will fall sick.

You: If you can't sleep either I'll give you company. Now don't argue with me on this.

This went on for a while as she tried resisting but in the end I won.

And then we talked and talked and talked, until my digital clock read 3:45 am.

I wasn't even sure what we were really talking about. It was almost nothing, but none of us would stop replying.

As if that nothing, is all we had to talk and were so attached to.

(Y/N): TaeTae...You should really go to sleep, it's really late, even past the devil's hour. Go to sleep before the devil abducts you.

I clasped a hand over my mouth, to prevent from laughing.

Why does she talk so weird and cute?

But now that she said it, a wave of exhaustion and tiredness hit me all at once, as if it was there all along but I had chose to ignore it.

You: Haha yes...I don't want to be abducted...I'll go to sleep now and so should you.

(Y/N): Okay TaeTae, I will go sleep now. Bye. Good night. Sleep well. Sorry to keep you awake. Really. ;(

You: Don't worry about it! I should be sorry. Good night. And stay safe from the devil.

(Y/N): I'll try to be safe. The devil must be strong...

You: Don't worry I'll protect you.

Only a second had passed after I had pressed the sent for that message, and immediately I felt a bit embarrassed at writing it so directly.

And she too must be a bit taken back, for she seemed to be taking time to reply.

(Y/N) is typing......

(Y/N): I don't need TaeTae, I have Iron man plushie with me, so don't bother for me...

You: Haha okay. I'll sleep now. Bye.

(Y/N): Bye, TaeTae :)

I switched my phone off and rolled back on bed, staring at the ceiling with a slightly lighter heart.

I sighed before I realised something.

My pillows were dry, my head was clear, my heart felt lighter, and my nose wasn't clogged, my cheeks didn't feel salty.

I realised that it had been awhile since I cried to sleep.

~Can things really be okay?~

_________

Okay, so I don't know about you but everytime I cry and tears stroll down my cheeks, my cheeks feel irritated and itchy, probably because of the salty tears, so that's what I meant up there.....

And an I just say that (Y/N) and TaeTae is suh a cute concept, I feel soft now ;(
