junhui grumbled as he looked over to his nightstand. his clock read 2:38 am. he picked up his phone and checked the caller id.

it was his boyfriend, minghao. they werent able to live together yet, but are planning to very soon.

junhui turned on the lamp on his nightstand and hit the answer button on his phone.

"hello?" junhui said in a slightly rough voice from being asleep. junhui didnt hear an answer from the other line. he just heard small sniffles. the screen was black. junhui immediately sat up on his bed, panicking slightly.

"b-baba.." minghao choked out in between the sobs. junhuis heart dropped. he knew minghao would only call him this if the younger was regressed into little space.

"minghao baby, whats wrong?" junhui said, softening his voice and tone. minghao didnt answer and only a choked sob came from the other, along with a mumble or two.

"use your words, hun. take your time." junhui said, trying to calm the other down. after a few moments of silence, minghao spoke up.

"n-nightmare.." he said in a weak and broken voice.

"oh no, baby. hey listen to me. focus on my voice and my voice only. its not real. it was just a nightmare. everything is okay, angel. im here, okay? turn your lamp on so i can see you, okay? deep breaths, baby. in and out. can you do that for me." junhui said as his heart shattered from the others confession. minghao did what junhui told him. he turned his lamp on as he was clutching a bunny stuffie that his caregiver got him. his eyes were red and puffy. he began taking deep breaths for a few minutes, until his sobs and broken words reduced to small sniffles.

"do you wanna tell me what happened now, sweetheart? what happened in your dream." junhui spoke through the phone, looking at his baby.

"b-b-baba left h-haohao.. haohao was all alone 'nd scared.. baba moved away 'nd haohao was left behind.. n-no one to take care of haohao.." minghao began to talk out slowly.

"oh no, baby. sweetheart, none of that will never ever ever happen. i love you so much and i would never even think about leaving you. you are my life, my world, my baby. you mean everything to me. again, i love you so much my precious angel. im sorry you had to experience that baby, im so very sorry. please never think that will ever happen." junhui rambled out. his heart really hurt to hear minghao say all of that. after junhui comforted minghao and whispered sweet nothings to minghao, the younger was slowly drifting back to sleep.

"c-can baba s-sing to haohao..?" minghao mumbled out, getting sleepier.

"of course."

the words fell out of his mouth. the sweet melody drifted in the air and through the phone.

'your hair is as quiet as the dark night.'

'making me think of you from night till dawn.'

'my long is hard to unravel, a riddle that can't be solved.'

'youre just like a ray of sunshine in the spring rain that shines onto my heart.'

'letting that flower bloom quietly.'

junhuis soft, honey-like voice continued to sing.

'if i walk closer to you little by little'

'please don't run away, let me sing softly like this.'

'if you listen to this song word by word, line by line.'

'can you sit by my side?'

as junhui continued to sing to the last line, minghao slowly drifted more and more to sleep.

junhui smiled as he saw his boyfriend peacefully back asleep.

before he hung up, he whispered something to minghao.

"good night and sweet dreams to my precious angel. please remember that no matter what,"

"i will always be by your side."
