KIM DAHYUN

I'm falling...

I feel dead at the same time I'm not. It's like there's something wrong, very wrong. But I don't know what.

I'm alone. Just like-

MYOUI MINA

"Miguri~" Chaeng said, snaking his arms around me.

I'm leaning against the rails of the rooftop with him hugging me from behind. The others are still drinking while me, Yoongi oppa and Namjoon oppa are the only ones who're still sober.

"Yes?" I asked, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Let's get married."

I almost choked on my saliva before turning around and looking at him with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"You don't want to?" he asked, pouting.

"I think we're too young for that." I said, kissing his pout.

"I never said that it should be now." he said, chuckling and hugging me again.

"You're drunk, cub." I said, wrapping my arms around his waist and leaning my head on his shoulder.

"On you."

Cliché...

"I wanna sleep." he said, but didn't let go.

"Okay." I said, letting go and grabbing his hand before pulling him towards the door and walking carefully down the stairs heading into the dance studio, where the mattresses from last time are placed.

I guess he already ordered his staff to place them here.

"Minari~" he sang, grabbing my wrist after I laid him down.

"Chaengie~" I sang back, chuckling at our behavior.

"Staaayyy~" he whined, tugging me.

"What about the others?" I asked, sitting down beside his shoulder but not taking my wrist off.

"Let hyung handle them~" he whined like a five year old.

"Okay then. I'll stay until you fall asleep." I said, stroking his hair like how a mom would.

"Noooo~"

"What do you want me to do then?" I asked, removing my hand from his hold and cupping his cheek.

"Cuddle with me~"

What?

I looked at him dumbfounded and tried to process what he just said.

"Miguri~" he whined again.

Jeez...

"What?" I asked.

"Lay down~" he said, pulling the hem of my shirt, making me follow what he wants.

I laid down beside him and he proceeded to spoon me with my back facing him and his left arm draped under my neck as a pillow and his right arm wrapping around my waist as he snuggled his nose on my nape, sniffing me.

"Why are you smelling me?" I asked, smiling.

"You smell like jasmine~", he replied, tightening his hold on me.

"And you smell like how a drunkie would." I retorted, chuckling before turning around to face him.

We stared at each other for a few seconds before he kissed me on my forehead, then to my nose and lastly, on my lips. After that, he kissed my cheek and temple before pressing the tip of his nose on mine.

"I love you~"

Drunk people say sober thoughts, right?

"I love you too." I replied, kissing his forehead.

"Please don't leave me..." he suddenly choked out, making me look at his eyes to see tears pooling in.

"Why would I leave you?"

"Because I'm me... I'm not a good person. I have blood on my hands and I don't want to drag you down when I fall." he confessed, making me worried about what he really does.

"You won't drag me down, love... And if you do fall, I'll be there to pick you up." I said as I caressed his face and wiped the tears that escaped his eyes.

"You promise?" he asked, holding out his pinky finger.

"I promise, love." I said, wrapping my pinky finger with his.

After that, I shifted our position. So now, my right arm is his pillow with his head on the crook of my neck and his arm still on my waist with my left hand on his cheek.

An idea popped in my head and I began singing a song to help the both of us sleep.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

I could see his eyes trying to stay open and I then began caressing his cheek to stop him from fighting the sleepiness to take over.

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me close until our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home

He already fell asleep when I finished the song and was now cuddling me like a baby koala to its mother. I then kissed his temple before covering the both of us with the blanket, careful not to wake him up and then closed my eyes before falling asleep.

SON CHAEYOUNG

"Pipe your voices down. You'll wake them up!"

That's definitely Jeongyeon hyung.

"You pipe your voice down, Ostrich!"

"Shut up, Yoda!"

What's all the commotion about?

I decided to pretend that I'm still sleeping to hear out what they're talking about.

"Press the button, you idiot!" someone angrily whispered. If that's even a whisper.

"Shut up! I'm concentrating! This damn phone won't even cooperate!"

Ahh... Maybe they're playing a game?

I hugged whatever I was hugging and started to stretch my legs without opening my eyes. Whatever I'm hugging is really soft. At the same time hard. I don't even know how to explain it.

Click!

"Done! Now let's leave them alone."

I heard footsteps going away and the sound of the door opening and closing before all I could feel were silence.

What the?
