FIFTH FLOOR .. lhc（✓）

DAY 32

sua woke with a jolt, instantly noticing the damp feeling on her cheeks. the girl sighed in frustration at her own mind.

ever since the incident a while back, sua would have occasional nightmares where the minji girl came back to finish the job. she didn't tell anyone because she didn't want to burden them with something that shouldn't have been on her mind.

still, sua was now alone in her apartment, and she couldn't stop the eerie chill spreading up and down her arms as she hugged herself.

you're so fucking childish, in sua, the girl mentally scolded.

there were times when her nightmares were really bad where she'd sneak into huiseon's room and let the elder cuddle her back to sleep. she was thankful that the girl never asked because sua never wanted to talk.

glancing to the side, sua read the bright red letters on her alarm clock. 2:07. her stomach and back ached, but the noirette was pretty sure it was just her nerves acting up.

sua pulled her arms from her knees and ran her hands over her face. she wondered how the boys were able to put up with people like that every day. it was astonishing. the little noirette made a mental note to ask yuta or doyoung how they dealt with sasaeng, since she heard those two especially had a reputation with the crazed fans.

thankfully she wasn't a very prideful girl, because sua didn't feel shame in asking for some help. no, she felt shame that the person she was inviting had visibly been more tired than usual and needed his sleep.

sua knew that nct were preparing for some big comeback and she knew how exhausting that sounded. she wished she never made donghyuck leave when he clearly knew she'd need him.

sua's shaking fingers ran crazily over the comforter as she searched through the dark for her phone. when her nails clicked against the glass of her screen, a wave of relief washed over her.

the bright light from the phone momentarily blinded her and sua looked away with squinted eyes. she released a sort of choked breath, now realizing how tight her chest felt. the girl shut her eyes, forcing herself not to panic and that it was in her head. she took a deep breath, hand flat to her chest and legs still curled up towards her body.

she searched through her contacts for his, finding it rather quickly with the new emoticon she put next to it.

she was sure the one word would sum it up to save the trouble and time of explaining.
