tossing around, you shift to the right side of your bed. you had been awake from your sleep half and hour ago— you think.
you didn't exactly keep in track of time. you had woken up from your sleep in the middle of the night because of the grumbling from your stomach.
just as if your tummy could hear your thoughts, it made the grumbling sound once again. sighing you finally sat up, looking for your phone on the nightstand.
you were hungry since you didn't eat dinner before you slept earlier. well, you were too tired from finishing your assignments and cramming up for the test next week.
getting out of the bed, you placed your phone back at the stand and walked over to your dresser. you untie your messy ponytail, letting your hair fall into your shoulders, the longer ones fall onto your back.
feeling the relief from how your hair had been pulled into from earlier you groan lightly, your head feeling less painful.
you really needed a hair wash this week, it was starting to get greasy.
you then quietly exit the bedroom, being careful not to wake up the rest of your roommates. seeing how it was in the middle of the night, you relaxed yourself walking into the kitchen, remembering how all of them were heavy sleepers.
or that's what you thought.
you turn on the kitchen light which radiated only the kitchen area and a little into the corridor and a little towards jake's room.
the living room was slightly dim from the kitchen. it gives you the right vibes for ramen at midnight.
LANY would be perfect to set the mood, you thought to yourself as you head back into your room to get your phone to play spotify while you made yourself food.
only on low volume of course.
after grabbing your phone, you carefully closed your room door and made your way into the kitchen again. clicking on the app, you scrolled over to your playlist and played 13 by LANY and put Lauv and Gentle Bones on queue.
placing the song at low volume, loud enough for you to listen still mindful at not waking up the boys despite being heavy sleepers.
you grab a pot from the dishrack and fill it up with water at the sink before placing it on the stove. taking a pack of heesung’s and the others shared collection of instant ramen (mostly still heesung's though), you rip it open.
taking the uncooked bar or noodles you put it into the boiling water, putting the heat at low fire since you hadn't prepared a few other items.
you place the seasoning packet aside before heading to the fridge to get cloves of garlic, fishcakes and spring onion. after washing it, you chop the items and put it into the pot and then add the seasoning.
"something isn't enough," you whisper to yourself, heading to the fridge again. opening it, your eyes scatter at the items stopping at the specific item that you needed.
"kimchi!" smiling to yourself, you grab the container and head back to the stove. adding a spoonful of kimchi into the pot, you stir a few times.
being too invested in the smell of food, you didn't notice the taller awake(half awake? he's been awake for a while) male walking into the kitchen.
you felt a grip on your waist, your heart stops for a moment before you realise it's just your roommate. not sure which though, so you tilted your head upwards to take a glimpse.
"can you make some for me too," sunghoon says, his voice still slightly groggy and wrapping his arms around you waist.
"fuck hoon, you scared me," you say in a low tone, placing the spoon down, and putting your hand on your chest, feeling the sensation of your heart beating rapidly but slowing down to its normal pace.
"sorry about that," he chuckles, making a slight vibration being felt on you too.
you turn around to be met with sunghoon's toned abs, catching you off guard. you immediately look upwards, feeling flustered as the blood rushes up to your face.
it's not that this sight is new for you. you've seen the boys walking around the unit multiple times shirtless, but it never fails to make you flustered each time.
especially sunghoon, you didn't know why though.
he's been working out a lot though since his abs have gotten more defined from the last time you saw him shirtless.
undeniably you can say that sunghoon is— very much attractive and hot. so were the other guys too but sunghoon was more appealing to you once again.
"what are you thinking about?" he asks, staring down at you.
this was a breathtaking view you have to admit. his hair draped down his face, above this eyes but most were still covering it though. his broad shoulders managed to make you feel small in his trap.
"huh- nothing," you say, bringing your hand up to rub the back of your neck awkwardly.
"if you say so," he says, patting your head and then taking his hands off you and heading over to the table to take a seat at.
even his back is so fine.
"y/n you might droll, stop staring too long" sunghoon says making you break out of your little staring session at sunghoon's body.
"what? i wasn't staring geez" you say, turning away back to the pot where the ramen was almost cooked. closing your eyes, you scream in your head while staring at him until he noticed.
as if the embarrassment you were feeling wasn't enough, sunghoon kept on teasing you until the ramen was cooked.
"since you won't shut up, just share this with me i'm too lazy to cook you another one" you say, placing the bowl in front of your shirtless roommate.
"okay sweetheart, whatever you say" he says, making you kick his feet under the table, earning glares from him.
you hand him a pair of chopsticks and spoon, grabbing you own ones as well.
"anyway, why are you awake?" you ask him before taking a slurp from the ramen, slightly groaning from the delicious taste.
sunghoon looks over at you, taking a slurp of the ramen as well, "i wsjnt slddpy" he answers but you could barely understand from how muffled it was.
"swallow it first hoon" you say, giggling at how his cheeks were puffed up with the food. he looked so adorable.
"I wasn't sleepy," he says, after swallowing the food.
"you barely eat after midnight though, did you not eat dinner?" you ask him, sipping the soup of the ramen.
"huh? everyone had dinner though" you ask, sunghoon leans back on the chair.
"yeah but i didn't eat" you raise your eyebrow at sunghoon, proceeding to question him why.
"did you have no appetite? why didn't you eat?" you ask, putting the noodles into the spoon and eating it.
"nope, i didn't eat because you didn't eat. i figured you would get hungry in the middle of the night since you didn’t have dinner— i stayed awake just so i could keep your company while you eat," you immediately choke on your noodles by his answer. sunghoon sits up straight, handing you the mug with water.
"oh my god, y/n are you okay?" he asks, heading over to your side, giving you back taps, lightly.
"yeah" you managed to croak out, coughing as you find yourself to calm down in a while.
you hadn't noticed how close he was to your face, making you erupt in coughs again but this time less serious of course. feeling your face heat up, you cover your mouth with the back of you hand, looking away.
"god sunghoon—" you say before drinking the water again. sunghoon takes a seat beside you, his hand still on your back, rubbing it slowly.
the situation soon became calm, the music from your phone playing faint in the background.
“can you finish it y/n?” sunghoon asks as he eyes the half finished ramen bowl and then at you. you look back at him and nod slowly, taking away your hand to pick up the chopsticks you dropped on the table from earlier.
sunghoon takes his hand off your back and folds his arms, leaning back and watches you eat.
for some reason, this was making you nervous. your stomach making flips at sunghoon’s actions. the tension was quite thick in the atmosphere, but you remained focused only on the ramen, not wanting to get any more flustered by sunghoon.
sunghoon on the other hand, was enjoying it. smirk plastered on his face as he watched you. you look good in his eyes despite just waking up from sleep in the middle of the night.
impressive, you always looked good in everything you wore. from wearing your favourite dresses to college parties, to wearing a simple spaghetti top and sweatpants. even now, in an oversized shirt that stopped right above your thighs, your hair let down slightly messy was the cherry on the top.
you looked amazing in it.
“stop staring at me sunghoon,” you feeling this gaze on you, still not looking at the male though.
“you should stop being pretty then,” not believing how those words just casually rolled off his tongue you finally glared at him.
“are you flirting with me?” you ask,
“are you flustered?” sunghoon asks back, leaning in to you leaving a little space between you both like before. unable to answer as if your words were stuck in your throat, you stare at him. sunghoon looks you, his eyes diverting to your lips then back to your eyes.
your heart starts beating again as you gulp from the nervousness.
what is this? do you like him?
it's as if the universe knew how to make the tension thicker, you phone starts playing love me like that by sam kim.
‘fuck, it’s from nevetheless’ you gasp inside your head, feeling even more flustered considering how you were facing almost what the female mainlead was facing in the drama in a particular scene. almost not quite the same though.
nevertheless (ironic haha) your sides moved to your phone which was behind sunghoon. sunghoon wasn’t too oblivious though, he figured out what you were thinking. you reached behind him but too late, sunghoon was already holding your hand from grabbing your phone.
“the song is nice, let it be” he says, taking his hand off yours. sunghoon then takes the chopsticks and grabs a fishcake. you thought he was going to eat it, instead you bring it to your mouth.
“open,” he says, you obey without questioning why. you began chewing on the food, while managing to keep your gaze on him. what does he want? why is he acting like this suddenly?
“eat up,” he says, handing you the chopsticks back and breaking the tension by going back to the seat. sighing silently, you turn back to finishing the ramen as the song plays in the background.
after eating, you got up to put the bowl away.
“I’ll do it,” sunghoon says, taking the bowl and mug into his hands. having no choice, you let him do the chore either way. sunghoon makes his way to the sink and starts washing. you sit back down, looking at sunghoon since you weren’t sure what to do while you waited for him.
your phone buzzes catching your attention. clicking on the notification, you realised it was your group chat that was active.
maybe they all pulled an all nighter.
seyoung<3 : 'im finally done with finishing my work! im so tired i dont think i’ll be able to attend the morning classes later
mina<3 : me too seyoung~ im so tired my eyes cannot stay open any longer
seyoung<3 : y/n can you cover for us :(
mina<3 : yeah y/n can you please~~~
chuckling at your friends' state you type in a response. your chuckle doesn’t go unnoticed by sunghoon. he looks back to see you tapping away on your phone with a smile on.
who were you texting at this hour? he thought as he placed the final dish onto the dishrack. turning off the tap, he heads back to as he wipes his hands on the towel. you turn off your phone, grabbing it and got up as sunghoon approached you.
“do you want to watch a movie with me?” he asks, catching you off the guard.
“what? I have classes in the morning”
your eyes widened in shock as you stared at sunghoon, taken back by his statement.
“i didn’t mean it in that way, if you want to i'm still down for it” he mutters the last part but it doesn’t go unnoticed by you.
“just lay with me, i don't wanna sleep alone” he sighs. unsure whether to turn him down or what you looked at him. well, it’s not like you haven’t cuddled before or what— this was nothing new either way.
“fine,” you say earning a smile from the taller one. sunghoon turns off the light and trails after you into his room. you set down your phone on his night stand and climbed onto his bed. sunghoon joins you as he shuts the door.
wrapping his hands around you, you leaned into his chest humming at the warmth his body was radiating.
“hoon?” you call him, he responds with a hum.
do you like me? you were so close to asking him that, but you were afraid of the aftermath if that wasn’t the case. this was something normal that you’ve been doing with the rest of your roommates as well. except for the flirting part. you guys were close enough either way.
but sunghoon’s action seemed to be a little more questionable to you though— why does he act like you these days? not wanting to stay awake and think about these thoughts you sigh.
“goodnight” you say, and close your eyes before letting your sleep take over.
“i like you too,” sunghoon mutters too, a while after he’s sure you’ve already in your little dreamland.
It went on like this ever since then, the both of you making small moves but afraid to confess due to being afraid of the worst—
