HIS eyes slowly fluttered open, allowing them to adjust to the rather dark lighting.

He furrowed his brows slightly, finding himself waking up in a room that was definitely not his. Tho, once he processed everything, he realized he was in none other than Choi Eunhee's living room.

Feeling a weight on his body, he turned his head, eyes widening in surprise upon seeing Eunhee's sleeping figure cuddled up against him.

She was hugging him.

Jungwon's cheeks flushed red at the sight of her, pursing his lips together lightly as he forced himself to conceal the amount of awh's that were threatening to escape his mouth.

He guessed she really wasn't lying when she said she needed something to hug to fall asleep. Carefully, Jungwon reached out for his phone, which was currently set on the cushion beside him.

Turning it on, he hissed slightly at the brightness of the screen, immediately shielding his eyes as he turned down his brightness. Letting out a small sigh, his eyes traveled to the big numbers displayed on his lock screen.

5:23am.

That would explain why it was still so dark outside. They still had another two and a half hours before school started, which was good.

Setting his phone down, he averted his attention back towards the sleeping girl, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Tho, part of him was wondering as to how he would be able to get up without waking her. After a moment of pondering, he slowly shifted his position, escaping her grasp and standing up.

Firstly, he stretched out his arms and legs, having been in the same position all night. After a moment, he snaked an arm around her waist carefully as the other went under her knees, hoisting her up off of the couch and into his arms.

He wasn't just going to leave her on the couch-- which, for some reason, was oddly very comfortable. He assumed she'd be way more comfortable in her own bed when she woke up.

Jungwon quietly walked towards her bedroom, remembering where it was as she had given him a brief tour of her apartment after they had finished eating dinner.

His hand reached out, wrapping his fingers around the door handle and pushing it open to step into her room.

He let out a small sigh, pressing his lips together in a thin line as he wasn't too sure on how exactly he was going to get her into her bed without waking her up, seeing as he had to fix her blanket and move all of the plushies that were on her bed.

Shaking his head slightly, he walked over to her bed, making sure he had a firm grip on the girl's body as he most definitely didn't want to accidentally drop her. Jungwon tried his best to clear off any of her plushies quickly, as well as move her blanket and adjust her pillows for her.

Eventually, he had managed to clear a space to set her. Carefully, he adjusted her in his arms once again before laying her down gently in her bed, pulling her blanket over her frame.

He paused, looking around for grabbing a random plushie, slowly placing it beside her as he remembered she said she couldn't sleep without one.

Almost instantly, he watched her latch herself onto the plush, hugging it tightly. The boy bit back a smile, "cute.." he mumbled, letting out a small hum before looking around, eyes falling on her desk.

He walked towards it, ripping off a sticky note and grabbing a pen she had stored in a small little cup on her desk and writing down a small note for her to find once she woke up.

Eunhee let out a small groan, rolling over in her bed as she slowly began to open her eyes, wincing at the bright lighting that flooded through her windows.

She blinked a few times, allowing herself to adjust to the lighting as she sat up in her bed, rubbing the tiredness out of her eyes as she looked around confusedly.

Slowly, the memories of the previous night came flooding back to her. She furrowed her brows slightly, assuming Jungwon had gone home late last night and she was just too tired to remember.

Her eyes shifted to her nightstand, looking for her phone, only to find a sticky note in replacement for it.

Curiosity got the best of her as she reached out for the sticky note, eyes scanning through the neatly written letters before her eyes widened slightly, cheeks burning with a crimson red flame.

eunhee, i've already gone home so i could get dressed and shower in time for school. i hope you don't mind, but i carried you back to your room so you could wake up comfortably.

also, you really weren't lying when you said you needed to hug something to sleep. you're very cuddly lol

- jungwon <3

She didn't hug him to sleep, did she? Oh my god, that'd be embarrassing-- in her opinion, at least. Setting the sticky note down, she covered her face in her hands and let out a small squeal.

The girl turned her head, eyes falling upon her digital clock which displayed 6:54am in bold, red letters. Meaning she hadn't woken up late in time for school. Letting out a small sigh, she stood up from her bed and trudged over lazily to her closet.

After getting dressed and making herself a quick bowl of cereal, she brushed her teeth, made sure she had everything she needed packed in her backpack-- such as a phone charger, as she'd need to charge it since it was at 24% once she had found it on her couch.

After slipping on her coat and her shoes, she locked her apartment door behind her, walking through the halls and getting into the elevator as she began her journey to school.
