Hyunjin POV

"Babe, wake up." Jisung shakes my arm.

"No..." I pout while squinting at him.

"Come on. I made you some food." He kisses my cheek.

I sigh, stretch, clutch my aching stomach, and nod. "Fine. But you're not topping any time soon." I rub my eyes.

"Oops." He says teasingly.

"I'll do what you did when I'm not sore."

"I did to you what I can handle when you top me. That's not even the most. So, good luck with that."

"Fuck you." I manage to sit up.

"Did you like being the little spoon for once?" He teases.

"Shut up." I roll my eyes. "But, yeah, I like being little spoon sometimes."

"Good. That was your sometimes."

I pout. He helps me up and walks with me to the kitchen. I sit uncomfortably on a stool as he serves me a plate of food. Bora was already there, halfway done with her food.

"Hey, Darling." I smile sleepily.

"Hi, Daddy. Your hair looks funny."

"Yeah, I had a long night. Baba didn't let me sleep."

"Oh, come on. I barely kept you up past two in the morning."

"That's too late for me!" I whine. "I go to sleep at twelve. Unlike you, I need my sleep."

"Sleep is for the weak. And kids." He kisses Bora's forehead before sitting across from me and giving me a cup of coffee. "This guy sleeps at least six hours every night." He says to Bora.

She giggles. "What about you, Baba?"

"Usually, I sleep two hours a night. I just don't need to sleep."

"Yeah, he's weird like that. He'll fall asleep with me sometimes, but he always wakes up and watches movies on his phone."

"Yeah, that's how I find out what movie we can watch together. So far, I have three more lined up." He says to me.

"Are they gay?" I sip my coffee.

He nods. "Yep. They're all three very gay."

"What does gay mean?" Bora asks me.

"Gay is like me and Baba. When two boys kiss, or when two girls kiss, or when two non-binary people kiss or something like that."

"What's it called when a boy and a girl kiss?"

"That's straight."

"Straight like a line?" She asks.

I nod. "Yeah, like a line. Anyways, what are the plans this weekend?" I ask Jisung.

"I'm unemployed. I have no plans."

(A/n: I've literally never related to a piece of dialogue more in my whole life)

"Uh-huh. I was thinking we could go to the mall." I finish up eating my food.

"That would be fun." Jisung agrees. "What do you think?" He asks Bora.

"What's a mall?"

"You have a lot to learn." I sigh. "I'm glad we got you out of that system."

She blinks her adorable big eyes at me. "What's a mall?"

•••

"Please, Jisung, let me be the little spoon one more night."

"No, I was big spoon last night. I wanna be little spoon." He denies, yet again.

"Why not just one more night?" I whine.

He shakes his head. "Nope. I'm gonna sleep. Spoon me or not, but I'm not gonna be big spoon tonight." He shrugs.

He crawls into bed and faces away from me. I pout and face away from him in bed to be petty. I close my eyes to fall asleep, but I couldn't.

The thought of not cuddling at night haunts me. It claws at my mind. I can't sleep without cuddles. I need his warmth.

"Hyunjin?" He whispers.

I don't answer. I'm being petty. I have to make him think I can do this. He rolls over and kisses my cheek. His arms wrap around me and kisses the back of my neck.

"I love you, Babe. Sleep well." He says softly.

"I love you more..." I mumble.

"You're awake?"

I shake my head. He smiles and leaves more kisses along my neck before we fall asleep.
