*Truth?*

Nine finished telling the story. At this point we were sitting on the bed and he was crying and hugging me. ' We are friends, and friends hug eachother, right? ' I thought to myself and said "Nine, everything will be okay. You should sleep now"

Nine calmed down a bit pulling away from the hug "You should sleep too. Our classes start early tomorrow..." I could see that Nine was still sad so I stayed in the bed with him, for him not to feel alone. Soon after, we both fell asleep.

Nine POV

I was feeling better, a lot better because Joong was near me. He didn't go back to sleep on the couch and decided to stay with me. I always feel safe and calm with him, he has this charm to him...

Joong POV

I woke up before the alarm went off. I still haven't opened my eyes but could feel that something was laying on me. I freaked out at first but when I opened my eyes I could see that Nine had wrapped his arms around me and put his leg on me.

' He looks very cute while sleeping ' I thought to myself, I couldn't move because I didn't want to wake Nine up as he was still sleeping like a baby.

I could feel my heart beating faster than usual ' Is this what you are supposed to feel towards a friend? ' I have never had friends before so I couldn't understand.

The story that he told me yesterday, I wanted to help. And luckily I knew how, but I think it would be better if I tell him about my family first. Maybe we can even talk with his parents later... I was still very sleepy and closed my eyes again.

Nine POV

I was woken up by the feeling of something moving under me. I tried to think of what it might be... I quickly sat up after realising that it was probably Joong. ' It seems like he is still asleep ' I thought.

' He would kill me if he found out that I slept on him. I am his first friend in ages and I do this? He needs real friends and that's what I will be ' I said to myself, low key sad.

I saw Joong opening his eyes and looking at me "Uh... Good Morning Joong, I guess" I said to him clearly nervous because of what happened "Our classes start soon, we might need to go" still nervous I got out of his bed as fast as I could.

"Nine, stop panicking. I will go take a shower, you can go shower after me" The man said reassuringly, got out of his bed and went to the bathroom.

I was looking at the pictures that were hanging on the wall near his bookshelf, people on them looked so familiar, it was probably Joong's family.

While I was doing that, Joong came out of the bathroom "Are you looking at my pictures?" He asked. He scared me, so when he spoke I jumped a little. Turning to him, I saw that he had a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body and a smirk on his face

I looked at him again, still a bit shocked. He was rubbing the back of his head with a towel to dry his hair, water drops flowing down his chest onto his abs.

He went to the closet to give me some clean clothes to wear because I didn't have anything with me and a towel. "Here, you can go shower. I will wait here." He told me, the whole time I was looking at him "Uhm, thanks" I grabbed the clothes and quickly went to shower.

Joong POV

I dressed and started to wait for Nine. I decided that now would be a good time to tell him about my family and try to help him.

I saw Nine walking out of the bathroom and not going to lie, he looked freaking cute. He was smiling and wearing a lilac hoodie and white jeans that I gave him.

"Nine, I want to tell you something" His face turned serious and he walked towards me and sat next to me on the bed. "Yeah? Is something wrong?" He asked concerned

"Not really, but I think I know how to help you with Joss..." I said to him "I might need to talk to my parents about it. That's why I need you to know who my family is..."

"You probably saw the painting in the hallway yesterday..." Nine nodded "Well, I'm not Joong Saelim, like everyone thinks I am" Nine looked interested

"Well I am, but it isn't my full name..." Nine took a breath "So what is your full name...?"He asked concerned, I looked him in the eyes and said "Joong Archen Saelim Aydin"

"Ok, I have definitely heard of the name... But I can't remember exactly..." He asked nervous "Have you heard of Arthit Aydin?"

Nine's eyes widened in shock...

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing
And no, it isn't Arthit from SOTUS, I just googled most common Thai names and Arthit was one of them...
