You jolted up from your bed. Heart beating fast, heavy breaths escaped your lips. You searched for your phone, grabbing it as fast as you can. You stared at the time, and searched for a contact. Your hands trembling as you pressed the number.

You waited, hoping that he'll wake up. As much as you hate to wake people up in the middle of the night, you need him so bad right now.

"hello?" Bestfriend!Taeyong's husky voice ringed through your phone.

"T-Taeyong, can you come to my apartment, I-I-"

You immediately hear shuffling on your phone. Then loud and fast foot steps was heard, signalling that Taeyong was running around the house.

"You stay right there okay? I'll be there in 5" He said, as his voice was unstable from his running.

"I'm so sorry for waking you up, Tae."

"Nonsense, I slept all day yesterday, I wasn't that tired too."

"Thank you so much for doing this," you said, voice trembling.

"It's my pleasure, Y/N. I'm gonna hang up so I can focus on driving okay?"

"Okay. Be careful."

"I will! See you soon!"

You curled up in your bed after he hung up. Your breath was now steady, knowing that your bestfriend will arrive soon.

A few minutes later, you hear the door on your apartment open. You sat up from your bed.

"Y/N?" Taeyong's voice rang,

"I'm in my room!" you yelled back.
The footsteps get louder and finally your bedroom door opened, revealing a worried Taeyong, a bag in his hand. He closed the door behind him and put his bag slowly on the floor.

You then opened both of your arms, wiggling them, gesturing for Taeyong to hug you. He plopped down on your bed and crawled towards you. He sat right in front of you and embraced you in a warm hug. Your face quickly found the crook of his neck, you sighed as the smell of strawberry bubble gum made its way to your nose.

"Nightmare?" He simply asked, you nod your head, still hugging him.

"What was it about this time?" he asked again, this time rubbing small circles on your back while the other hand stroked your hair.

"It's embarassing," You whined, nuzzling deeper into his neck.

"come on, I came all this way at this hour not to hear that sort of answer from you." Taeyong chuckled.

He pushed you away from his neck, cupping your cheeks with his gentle hands, staring at you with those big puppy eyes.

"Tell me," he whispered.

You looked down, fiddling with your fingers, taking a deep breath.

"Ghosts." you mumbled shyly.

He immediately softens after hearing your answer. He then hugged you again, this time almost crushing you to pieces.

"Aww, wanna watch something? I brought my laptop with me." He said, crawling to the edge of the bed to get his laptop out from his bag. He then went to sit beside you. Getting under the covers.

"We could watch your favourite movie?" He offered, opening his laptop.

"Can we just... Listen to music and cuddle?" you asked, Taeyong snapped his head towards you, comepletely shocked. He stared at your shy figure, sighing as he saw how nervous you are. His gaze softens and he nodded.

He turned on a playlist that was named 'Soft Hours for Y/N'. He puts the laptop on the nightstand, and shuffled underneath the bed and threw his hands around your waist, your back facing his. He gave a few strokes on your arms and a few light tap, helping you to sleep.

After a few minutes, Taeyong's eyes started to feel droopy, but before they could close, you shuffled underneath the covers, backing up as you close the gap between your back and his chest.

"I love you, Taeyong." you whispered.

His eyes was now as wide as saucers. It wouldn't be a surprise if Taeyong's cheeks were as red as a tomato right now. Thank god you couldn't see him right now.

His smile widens, trying to maintain a giggle that's threatening to escaping his lips. He knew that you must be talking in your sleep, it happens quite often, but he didn't expect you to say those four words. Nonetheless he nuzzled his face to your neck,  sighing with content and cuddled you tighter.

"I love you too." he said, finally drifting off to sleep.

Although he wished that someday he'll have the guts to confess his feelings towards you properly.
