''Hyung?''

Donghyuck peeked outside his blanket, trying to adjust his eyes to the dimly lit room before flipping over to his right with a groan.

''Johnny hyung?''

He looked at the sight behind him, previous confusion turning into realisation upon processing a teary eyed Jungwoo vigorously shake Johnny awake, his entire exterior jittery due to the strength put up in not letting out sobs.

And from the bed next to his', Donghyuck could see clearly and Johnny stirred back to live, grunting in annoyance but nonetheless rolling over and pushing the comfortable duvet off him, before sitting up in bed and taking in his surroundings.

''H-hyung-''

Jungwoos voice broke, and the elder blinked for a second, before snapping his neck to meet Jungwoo's eyes in such a way that if the latter wasn't on the verge of a breakdown, Donghyuck would've laughed.

''Woo...?''

Johnny mumbled, dumbfoundedly pulling Jungwoo into a bone crushing hug, only tightening when all of the youngers walls of self love crashed down, bursting through him in the form of tears.

''Woo 'yung?''

The two were clearly startled at the sudden noise; as Johnny and the now devastatingly sobbing Jungwoo diverted their attention to the youngest in the room, watching him with blurry vision as he, too, fought off his blanket and crawled over the edge, hurrying to the eldests' bed.

''I'm-I'm sor-''

Donghyuck cut the elder by furrowing his eyebrows, lips forming a pout to distract his beloved hyung as he plopped down next to him, engulfing him in a hug and resting his head in the crook of his neck.

''None of those apologies.''

He inhaled in the scent of the elder, who gratefully rested his head on Donghyuck's shoulder and let the sobs past his lips.

''Shh, it's okay'', was the last thing the youngest heard before everything drowned beneath the elder's heart wrenching wails.

ildly comfortable silence enveloped the room into a comforting hug, nothing but the sound of soft whistling and hiccups being heard alongside the umpteenth sigh of Johnny as he proceeded to trace circles on Jungwoo's back.

''Mhm, it's okay to have nightmares, hyung.''

Donghyuck brought the elder closer into his chest, craddling him like his life depended on it, smiling ever so slightly when he slipped out of Johnny's comfort only to be embraced in his youngest bandmate/friend's.

Patting his back in a steady rythym, Johnny hummed a low tune of sorts into the

It had become a habit of some sort by now. Each and any member, from Doyoung to Mark, or even Jaehyun, would find comfort in Johnny and Donghyucks room after a long, tiring day; the elder doing taking up the job of engulfing them whole while Donghyuck stuck to singing them to sleep, or in Jungwoo's case, soft, low whistling in his ear.

It always did seem to calm them down; be it a nightmare or the sudden realization of the life they lived, going from one place to another like a robot, having to fake their personality the way fans and the company liked, barely getting sleep to impress them yet still being judged because whatever they do, it just isn't enough to please.

It really got to them. There were times when the two dorms had decided to have a sleepover at the 5th floor, because the 10th is absolutely undeserving of Taeyong and Doyoungs love, and Yuta would enter the dorm after extra practice, at the crack of dusk, a tiring smile gracing his features as Taeyong and Johnny paced around the room in anger.
