Sleeping Habits [MinChan] (Completed)

Chapter 6

When his alarm rang in the late morning, Chan just wanted to throw his phone and go back to sleep right away. Why was he always going to bed so late at night in the morning when he knew it would be so hard to wake up in the morning?

A good part of it was caused by his late night work-session, but when he didn't wake up during the night nor looked at the sleeping Minho in the bed beside him, he still spent a lot of time thinking as well. Some fans kept joking he was an intellectual, he knew he wasn't but he clearly had a hard time to not over-think – which was probably the worst thing ever when you need to sleep.

He checked the time and groaned. They had a radio show and he couldn't stay much longer in bed, one of the members or the manager would surely come to kick him out of bed soon. Like a zombie, he stepped out the blanket and sat on the bed.

He couldn't stop himself and his eyes stopped on Minho's empty bed. Minho was always one of the first to go to sleep and wake up unless he had special training to do. Today was no exception and Chan still kept in mind the image of the dancer balled-up in his bed, looking more peaceful than ever. It was a rather normal way to sleep, too normal for Minho and the leader wondered if he dreamt at all. Pulling the question away, he dragged his feet to the bathroom, meeting Jisung and Seungmin on the way.

"You look like a panda Hyung. You shouldn't tone down a bit your late night activities," Hyunjin half-joked and Chan sent him an unimpressed look.

"Hyunjinnie isn't wrong, your face is terrible. Noona won't be happy, she'll need to use all her make up on you," Seungmin agreed.

"It's a radio show, it'll be fine," Chan frowned.

"It is, but it's still filmed and with your look right now, it calls for a lot of work to make you look 'fine', even from afar," he added straightforward as usual.

Hyunjin laughed harder and Chan grumbled, his hand messing up his already chaotic hair. He quickly entered the bathroom to hide from the chaotic duo and closed the door loudly behind him.

Soon after, Minho met the two laughing boys. A bit tired and sweaty after his self-imposed morning rehearsal, he obediently followed them downstairs when they informed him the bathroom was already used. He slowly emerged while Jisung and Felix were already busy talking about the performance, clothes on and hair done.

Jisung smiled when he saw Minho and caught him in a back-hug. Minho didn't even react and the younger pat his cheeks to call his attention. "How was your rehearsal Hyung?"

"Pretty good," he replied tiredly.

"Slept well?"

"Very well, why do you ask?"

"Looks like you're dozing off on me," Jisung chuckled, slightly shaking the older's body awake. "Chan looks just as awful today, so I just wondered... though I'm not sure I really want to know what happens in your room..." he teased. Minho didn't notice the teasing tone and not-so-innocent hint from Jisung.

He frowned, visibly worried. "There's something wrong with Chan lately. Last week he looked better, but once again, he doesn't look too well."

"You're right," Jisung nodded pensively. "You worry a lot about him lately."

"He's avoiding me... I know there's something wrong." The lead dancer sighed loudly and looked down, "It wasn't that much of a good idea to change room after all."

"What? Of course, it was a fantastic idea!" Jisung exclaimed. "It was mine," he added proudly.

"Come on~ I'm being serious here!"

"So I am," he stated amused, his smile quickly falling when he met the killer glare his friend sent him.

"I have to talk to him. I have to know why he's like that. I can change if he needs to again if he needs it, but I want him to talk to me."
