"i guess you did change."

i muttered under my breath, for some reason i felt a weird force holding my head back from looking at him. my teeth sunk in the inner part of my cheek, and i pursed my lips. i felt him staring at me, but i didn't really care.

my ears picked a small chuckle from where jaemin was sitting. i then noticed a hand softly chin, it made me face him.

i felt my face flush over an ocean of red, "where did all your confidence go jeno?" he purred softly.

i was about to get mad and slap his hand away, but that was when i noticed the silver metal wrapped around his finger. my eyes widened.

it was the ring i got him for his birthday.

something tugged on my heart, a tinge of sweet happiness prevailed as a flood of memories came swarming back to me the day i bought it. but i also felt guilty at the same time, i didn't know what to feel.

he stared at me with such a piercing stare, i felt so small compared to him. he scooted closer, and he got close to my face again. my throat felt dry, and i didn't know what to say.

jaemin noticed my discomfort and sighed deeply, he let go and stood up.

"go back to sleep. i'll wake you up once it is the end of the day."

i decided it would be best to not say anything, i just quietly listened to his command and slipped back under the covers. warmth surrounding every inch of my body, "good night." i heard him say to me before he maneuvered his way around the curtain.

my mind still couldn't get around the fact that he is still wearing that ring after so long. no, maybe he just wore it because it looked good with his outfit today.

the grip of the cover became tighter, "ugh." i groaned as i tossed and turned in between the white sheet above me.

my eyelids feel heavy, and i slowly drifted off to a world of pitch black.

as soon as i stepped out, i heard faint snoring coming inside the closed off area. i smiled softly, "you fall asleep way too fast."

i quietly tiptoed my way to the couch near the window, and once i sat down on it a sigh came out of my mouth. i reached for my phone, and checked the time.

we still had a lot of time to pass, and i didn't want to sleep for the entire time. normally i would enjoy taking naps, but knowing that jeno is inside injured worries me. i didn't want to be asleep if he called out to me, or if he is in pain.

i released my grip from my phone.

the phone slightly bounced and skidded on the couch, i looked at my hand and stared at my ring.
