incoming call from: chewy

"This kid." I answer her call. "Yes?" I hear her on the other side of the phone. "Unnie can you come home soon?" I sigh. "Tzuyu I already told you-" "I know. But you've been working all night. I know you're tired." I can't lie that I'm not. I've been up since five a.m. working on perfecting my vocals for the upcoming comeback and perfecting the routine for the MV. "Look, I'll be home soon, I just really need to-" "No. I don't care if you're our leader. You overwork yourself every chance you get and you need to rest unnie. I hate it when you come home and get two hours of sleep and do the same thing all over again. It's bad for you."

I hear a sniffle on the other end of the line. Shit. "Hey, don't cry Tzu, I'll head home now, okay? Just hang out until I get there." Another sniffle, and then a tired voice thick with tears; "Okay. Just please be home s-soon." "I will. Don't worry. I'm gonna hang up now, okay?"

"Okay. See you." And the line goes dead. I sigh. I pack up my things and ignore the ache in my muscles, quickly traveling to the car. I get in and let a manager know I'm on my way back to the dorm by myself. While I'm on my way back it starts to sprinkle. Which turns into an absolute downpour, complete with thunder. Shit. This isn't good. I speed up as much as I can while still being safe to get back as soon as possible.

I park the car and run to the door of the dorm, keys in hand. Once I'm inside I immediately shed my wet jacket and make my way towards the maknae room. On my way there, I spot a bundle of shaking blankets on the couch. There she is. I make my way over. "Tzu? You alright?" She jumps slightly before peeking over the edge of one of the blankets. "Unnie. You're h-home." She musters up a small smile before there's another loud crash of thunder. She jumps again and lets out a squeak, disappearing under the blankets once again. At least we have a day off tomorrow.

I sit next to her. "I'm gonna go change and then I'll be right back, okay?" I hear a sound of acknowledgment and make my way to my room to change. When I get back I'm met with the same bundle of blankets. I make my way over and lift the blanket some. "May I join you?" I barely get to finish my question before I'm pulled under by Tzuyu. "Hey, it's okay. I'm here." I hold her and we end up laying down on the couch, her head on my chest with my arms around her shoulders.

I wrap the blankets tighter around her and try not to think about the contact I'm having with the younger member. "T-thank you." Anything for you. "Of course Tzu, anything for my members." I hold her tighter and whisper in her ear. "Try to get some sleep, okay? We have off tomorrow so you can sleep in all you want." I feel her nod and snuggle closer to me. I hope she can't feel my heartbeat. It's racing.
