One Wish

CHAPTER 20

  The play really was pretty good. The actors did a really good job with expressing emotions. Even Saeran was interested, which was rare. For the whole play, Seven was holding onto me and peeking from my shoulder. It's so.. so... Gahh, if you want to cuddle with me then do it when we're alone, gosh. ... Why did I just think of that? Seven is so quirky, but I like that about him for some reason.

After the play was over, we all discussed it. It's my favorite part about movies and plays. It's so fun to talk and hear others' opinions about it and how they saw everything. Since there were alot of us we talked for quite a while. That while soon turned into an hour, but nobody got bored of it. "Well, what shall we watch next? It's so early, that we can watch a few more." Jaehee then perks up. "Well, I have the three sequels of it." We all stared at her in awe. "They made so many sequels of it and you have all of them?" "Well of course. I'm a true fan." Jaehee looks pretty proud as she adjusts her glasses.

And so we repeat the process - we put in a movie, talk about it and put in a next one. Everybody looks pretty sleepy so in the end we all start a game, that the last person to stay awake can give somebody a task they must do tomorrow. Well, I'm well trained in staying up late so I'm pretty confident I will win. We start watching everything that others brought with them and the game begins.

First to fall asleep is surprisingly Saeran. Apparently, because of his sleeping problems he has a very tight sleeping schedule, that he is now used to. Next was Jumin. I'm guessing he just sleeps properly. After Jaehee's musical marathon has ended, she and Zen also fell asleep. Eventually Yoosung is also out of the game and is sleeping peacefully.

So that makes it me and Seven. After the movie ended we noticed that everybody had fallen asleep. "Well, it's just the two of us now, huh?" he says quietly. "Yeah.. I'm going to beat you though!" "Oh, you don't know what my sleeping schedule is like." "What is it like?" He chuckles. "There isn't one." "You have such a bad lifestyle, you know? Can't you at least sleep properly? Your brother knows when to go to sleep. Can't you go at the same time as him?" "But I can't sleep..." he pouts. "And why is that?" Seven thinks for a second and then says "I keep thinking about you~" and he winks at me. "Ahh, Seven~, that's so creepy you know." "How is this creepy? Shouldn't you be flattered?" I look up to see his face and I can see through the dark, that he's blushing. "Hehe. You're blushing." "Well it is the truth," and he smirks at me. My face heats up as well.

"A-anyway, it's pretty cold so can I please go and take my blanket from upstairs?" He let's go of me and I can finally move. "You're gonna sleep here?" "You don't want me to?" "I'm all in for cuddling with you," and he gives me a pervy smile. "Don't say it like that...! I'll be back." I then run upstairs to my room. What am I thinking? What is he thinking? I won't.. cuddle with him... it's weird. My face heats up again. Ughh... Why, Seven, why? I grab my blanket and run back downstairs. Without thinking, I run to Seven and sit back on his lap, even though I had the chance to sit anywhere else. Of course I realise that after I've already sat down and put a blanket on me. Seven just chuckles and puts his arms around my body again. I wasn't expecting that so I yelp quietly.

"This looks so wrong. You're basically my best friend but we're cuddling like a couple." He chuckles and then whispers into my ear. "Well, let's pretend to be a couple for tonight." I'm silent for a second. I mean, it's nice to sit like this, but... He's a boy and I'm a girl. At some point, something bad might happen, and for him that "might" means "will". "You haven't won the bet yet, so I don't have to do anything." "Hmm... Well...," his voice is very calm now, almost seductive, "then I have to make you go to sleep." He then takes one of his hands to my face and closes my eyes with it. How did he know that my eyes were there? Then he strokes my hair and puts his face in it. What's wrong with him all of a sudden? The only thing missing now would be him kissing my shoulder and then we would be like a real couple. But he's my friend...

Ahh, whatever. It's pretty nice to sleep on him like that. He's embrace is really warm and calming. I turn my head to the side so it's more comfortable. His heart is beating so fast. It's a bit alarming, but not that much. He did a really good job at putting me to sleep, because after a few minutes I'm sleeping like a baby. A little before I fell asleep I heard him murmuring something, but I didn't hear what.

Finally she fell asleep. She's so beautiful when she's sleeping. I look at her and unintentionally start muttering. "You're so beautiful, MC. I love you so much. Life feels so wrong and twisted, but when I'm with you I feel like everything I feel and see is real. When I feel your warmth I feel like I'm in heaven. I don't want this moment to go away." I hug her tightly. "Everything about you is perfect. Your personality, your looks, your heart. I love everything about you." I start to stroke her head. Her hair is so soft and smooth. I smell it - it smells like peaches. Can this get any better? "There are so many things I want to do with you, but as you said - I'm your best friend. I'm so selfish to even think about us being something more than that." I put my head against her's. "I want to stay like this forever. If I could have one thing in this world, I would want you to love me as much as I love you." With this thought in mind, I fell into a peaceful sleep, where I didn't have any nightmares.
