"I will always be there." ㅣ Kim Woosung - ON HOLD

12 : "3 AM."

[WEDNESDAY
11 PM]

The day was almost over as you finished brushing your teeth and headed to bed, you had a long day at work and you just wanted to sleep so you slipped under the covers as fast as possible and made yourself comfortable.
You've been texting Woosung every night before going to sleep because you don't wanted him to be to hard on himself and take as much rest as possible, you took your phone in your hands and started to type.

To : Sam ❤️
I'm going to sleep, I hope you're not gonna stay up to late, take care of yourself and don't forget : I believe in you.
I love you.

You put your phone on your nightstand, knowing he won't probably answer within the two next hours and turned on your side, smiling as the - still - weird feeling of saying "I love you".
I has been two months since the first time you said those three words to each others but, even if you were only saying them again when it was appropriate and when you felt like it, it was still making your heart pound in your chest.
As good thoughts filled your mind, you drifted to sleep.

[3 AM]

You were deep in your sleep, dreaming about all type of great things when you heard noises.
You checked the hour, "3 AM" you sight, you thought you just had a bad dream but you heard noises again. You were scared, you stayed in your bed and tried to find where the sound was coming from...
"The front door" you whispered to yourself.
You grabbed your phone and dialed Woosung's number.
He picked up :

"Sammy? Someone's knocking at my door but it's like 3 AM and I do-
- That's me, he said with a steady voice, open the door my legs feel like jelly.
- Oh but wait- why are you-
- Just open the door already please." his voice sounded tired as he hung up.

You got up from your bed pulling on a cardigan on your way since it was pretty chill at this hour and you made your way to the door.

" Hi, what are you doing here?" you asked with concern in your voice when you saw Woosung's tired face,
"Can I come in?
- Yeah sure..." you followed him to your living room after closing the door, he sat on the couch, saying nothing and just stared at the floor.

"Hey... Are you okay?" you said sitting next to him, placing your hand in his.
He looked at you with tired eyes but the brightest smile plastered on his face.
"I am. But I'm tired and I can't sleep. And since I couldn't sleep I thought that being with you could've help.
- You did well. You're always welcomed here, my home is your home, no matter the day or hour. I will always be there.
- Thank you so much Y/N." he kissed you and grabbed your hand when you tried to get up :
"Let's sleep here. That's what we always do, right?
- Yeah, let's sleep here."
You sat back on the couch, Woosung holding you close to him, both feeling comfortable enough to sleep and before you both dived to sleep you exchanged these words :
"I love you Woosung."
It was silent for a moment but he answered afterwards :
"I love you too Y/N. I love you so much."

[3:47 AM]

You woke up in the middle of the night because you were thirsty so you carefully got up and tried not to wake up your sleeping boyfriend before heading toward the kitchen.
You poured yourself a glass of water before going back to the living room and laying on the couch next to Woosung after putting a mattress at the end of your couch so you could lay down properly. (A/N : Like a convertible sofa, my explanation really sucks I'm sorry)
The noise you made woke him up as he asked :
"Y/N? What are you doing?
- Just putting a mattress so we can lay our legs down.
- Hmm." he said as he turned his back to you.
It was silent.
You pulled back to cover on yourself and closed your eyes.

[4:13 AM]

You were finally starting to fall asleep again but your sleep was just about to get disturbed.

"I love you, said Woosung
- And I love you too."
You felt like something was wrong so you questioned him :
"Is something wrong?
- No, why?
- I don't know you just said that out of the blue.
- Can't I say to my girlfriend that I love her?
- Of course you can! But I don't know... I just felt like something was wrong..
- I'm good." was all he said but he wasn't convincing you.
You didn't want to argue with him, so you took time to think about what you could say. You were laying on your back, looking at the ceiling while Woosung's had his back turned to you. And after a short time, you spoke :
" You know, if you don't feel good, it's okay. I understand. Everyone can feel down every now and then but I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm here for you. I'm not going to force you to tell me what is wrong. No, I don't want to do this. I'll be waiting for you to talk to me. If you want to talk about it, I'll listen to you, but if you don't want to talk about it, I'll respect your choice. Know that no matter what, I'll always be there. Sammy, it's okay not to be okay."
Woosung turned around to see you, you titled your head to take a look at his face, he looked sad but relieved, he seemed more peaceful now.
He pulled you into his embrace and said :
"Thank you so much Y/N.
- It's nothing Sammy. Now take some rest.."
You cuddled until both of you fell asleep, feeling peaceful in each other's arms.
