seventeen ;

it seemed like jae and i lost track of time, because by the time we were done outside, it was nearing eleven pm. we sneakily slipped back inside the dorm, waving to the other before disappearing into our separate rooms.

i hurriedly brushed my teeth and washed my face before jumping under my covers. i groaned, stretching lavishly under the cool comforter. unlocking my phone, i opened the conversation with jae and sent him a text.

i had fun outside with you. but, i wanted to ask you if you were still mad at me from a few days ago....

Ah, right. I was mad, in a way, but you're forgiven.

OH, that's great.

i decided not to ask why he was mad and just let it be.

Anyway, you should sleep now. It's late and we have another performance tomorrow.

you're right, but you too then. i sleep, you sleep.

Stubborn, I see. Alright then.
Goodnight, Riah.

goodnight, park jaehyungie.

Did you just call me 'Jaehyungie?'

oh fuck, i guess i was a little too tired and that caused my nickname for him to slip out.

um, yes?

I'll let it pass. BUT, only you can call me that, okay?

i giggled.

yessir.

Okay good. Now, goodnight, Riah. Sweetest dreams.

sweeter dreams, jae.

before i went to shut my phone off, i received a notification from instagram. i didn't click on it right away, but saw the beginnings of a goodnight message from jae. so then, i opened it, obviously.

Goodnight, Y/N. Sweet dreams. I hoped to talk to you soon, but anyway, I wanted to say sorry because I've been busy with promotions and all.

i get it, don't worry. that's why i haven't attempted to text you. i didn't want to disturb you.

i didn't mention that i was doing the same thing as he was. for evident reasons.

I didn't expect you to respond! But, we'll have to talk later. You should sleep. I was just heading to bed because I promised a friend I would sleep, but I was thinking about you.

aw, thank you. i missed you too, if you must know. i'll go to sleep too. goodnight, jaehyungie.

Jaehyungie?

fuck, fuck. wait, it's fine. i have no correlation to myself. i'll just play it off like i'm any other fangirl.

yeah. lmao, i've never called you that before?

No, you haven't.

well, it's my nickname for you.
anyway, goodnight, jae~

Goodnight, Y/N.
seen

that was close. i let myself breathe. if he found out, damn, i would've been fucked.

just before i thought the crazy night was over, i received another notification. this time, from twitter. i skimmed it, thinking it was another promotion dm, but another read and i saw jae's user.

Hey.

i thought i told you to never dm me again.

I know and I'm sorry. I just need someone to talk to, and you're the only one who knows most of it.
