Hyunjin POV

I look at Jisung, who was already drifting off to sleep. His hand loosely held mine, our fingers intertwined and his eyes were closed. His eyes open and he looks at me.

"Hmm?"

"I didn't say anything. I'm just looking at you." I kiss his lips.

He nods and presses his face to my chest. I hug him tight and run my hands up and down his body, feeling his warmth. He wore a pair of boxers and one of my shirts so it was big on him. It fell off of one shoulder to expose soft skin and sharp collarbones, and went down to his mid thigh to show off his long, thin legs.

I play with his hair with one hand while the other keeps around his waist. He lets out a small snore, making me smile. I close my eyes and sigh.

I nuzzle his hair and kiss his head. "Goodnight." I mumble.

He nods slightly. I peck the back of his neck, running my thumb across his hand as his head now rested on my bicep. My leg was over his legs, covering his body with warmth and love.

The way he fit with me was like puzzle pieces, his body molding perfectly on mine. His back pressed against my chest and gave me his warmth.

My eyes unfortunately close and I'm taken by sleep.

~~

"Daddy, wake up." I hear, small hands tugging on my hand.

I hum in response, not wanting to look. The pulling on my hand doesn't stop. I squint my eyes open and find Bora with my pinkie and pointer finger in her hands. I sigh and sit up.

"What's the matter?" I whisper, seeing Jisung was still asleep.

"Can I sleep in your bed?"

"Why can't you sleep in your bed?"

"I got scared."

I sigh again. I scoot to make room between me and Jisung. She slips into bed by me. I make sure she's comfortable and tucked in before laying next to her and kissing her forehead.

She closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep. I wait for her to fall asleep before slipping out of bed. I sneak out of my dimly lit room and walk towards her bedroom. It was silent in the house.

I open her bedroom door and turn on the light, wind blowing in my face and a child standing in the middle of the room. He had tears of blood flowing down his round face, and he was covered in cuts and bruises and one of his arms was mangled. He looks at me with dead eyes.

"Replacing me, Daddy?" He spoke in a low, sad, raspy tone.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to take her."

~~

I snap awake. I breathe heavily, sweat beading on my body. My mouth was dry.

I get out of bed and go to Bora's bedroom. The house was still quiet. My chest heaves and my stomach churns. I open her door slowly to reveal her sleeping peacefully. No one in the middle of her room.

I breathe out a sigh of relief. I feel arms wrap around my waist. I jump and refrain from screaming. I look down to find two hands on my body, soft and small. They were warm. I turn around finding Jisung was sleepily holding me.

"Whatcha doing?" He asks quietly.

"Just worried about Bora. It's fine." I say while closing her door.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." He giggles.

I gulp and shrug. "I had a bad dream." I mumble.

"Did you? Do you wanna talk about it?" He offers.

I nod. "Yes, please." I mumble.

He holds my hand and brings me to the kitchen where he'd made a sandwich for himself. He kisses my lips and sits on the counter so he can be almost as tall as me.

"What was your dream about?" He tilts his head.

I look in the fridge for something, finding cookie dough. "Bora and.. and Ansaek." I mumble.

"Tell me what happened, Babe."

I bite my lip. "Can we cuddle when I tell you?"
