Repairing Our Relationship

North Korea POV

The sunlight that streamed through my window woke me up. I squinted because it was so bright, but also because I was still tired.

I started to stretch when I found I couldn't. Right, I had asked China to stay with me last night and he held me close to him by the waist.

I blushed and gently moved his hands and got out of bed. He was still sleeping as I stood up.

I felt uncomfortable in what I was wearing. I looked down and noticed that I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I had never taken them off.

I opened my closet and went to the pajama section of it. I picked out a loose light green shirt and loose aqua blue pants. I went into the bathroom and changed my clothes. I brushed my teeth and washed my face and then left the bathroom, yawning.

China was sitting on the edge of my bed when I came back. "Good morning." He smiled.

I yawned again. "Good morning..."

"Still tired?" China asked, getting up.

I nodded. "I'm never up this early on weekends."

China chuckled. "I actually get up way earlier than this."

China's phone went off. He checked it and groaned. "It's Taiwan."

He answered it. "Hello?"

Taiwan was yelling through the phone and I could hear him. Either that, or China put it on speaker. "Where the heck are you?!"

China flinched. "Uh, North Korea's house."

"Why didn't you come home last night?!"

"Why are you asking these questions? You've kicked me out of the dang house before."

"I knew where you were going at least! I was worried all night!"

China fell silent. He then scowled. "Worried? You, worried about me? Last I checked you didn't care for me."

I heard Taiwan sigh. His voice shook a little bit when he replied, "I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. Just...just call next time, okay? If you didn't pick up then I would've called the police."

"Alright, fine. 再见." (Bye)

"再见."

China tapped his phone and put it away. He sighed. "First he wants me out of the house and doesn't care where I go, now he's all 'where the heck were you I was so worried!' Make up your dang mind!"

"China..?"

China looked up at me. I was looking at him with a worried expression. "You alright?"

China nodded. "Yeah, just sibling stuff."

I managed a sad chuckle. "I remember when South and I were like that..."

"What?"

"Nothing."

China got up and followed me downstairs and into my kitchen. I opened the fridge. "You hungry?"

China nodded. "Actually, can we get some food from a new Chinese restaurant that opened up in my country? I've been wanting to try the food but I've never had the time."

I smiled and nodded. "Sure, I actually didn't want to cook anything anyways. Is it deliver because...."

China looked at my outfit and chuckled. I noticed a red tint on his face, but it was greater than last night.
