I opened my eyes as I begun to wake up and yawned, sitting up with a stretch. I turned my head to look over at Chenle who was sound asleep in his bed. I slipped out of bed and walked over to Chenle, smiling fondly at the way his nose scrunched slightly in his sleep. I bent down and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead before chucking on a shirt and quietly leaving the room. I walked out to the loungeroom where everyone was sitting and talking to each other.

"Good morning Sungie," Jaemin said brightly as they all saw me.

"Where is Chenle," Haechan asked me with a small frown.

"He's still asleep," I replied.

"Oh, well we're going out to eat but it's probably best if we let Chenle sleep some more. After what happened yesterday, it'll be good for him to get as much sleep as possible. Plus it's our day off so getting some rest is a good thing before we go back to practicing tomorrow," Jeno said. That's a fair point, he definitely needs the sleep, which is why I didn't wake him up.

"Are you going to come? We're just gonna eat and then we can bring some stuff back for Chenle," Jaemin said. Last time I went, and that's when Chenle got the ideas of suicide, there is no way that I'm going to leave him alone today. I'm not taking that chance.

"Nah I'm good. I think I'm just gonna stay here and watch some TV and relax. I can't be bothered moving around much today," I said with a shrug.

"Fair enough. Do you want us to bring you back some food as well," Mark asked.

"Obviously. Do you seriously think I would ever say no to food," I asked with a pout. How dare they think I wouldn't want to eat. What do they want to do? Starve me? They all got ready and within 15 minutes, they were saying goodbye and walking out the door. Once the door closed, I stood up and walked back into my room. I stepped inside and paused, looking over at Chenle who was sleeping peacefully. I was looking at him for a few seconds before I started to feel nervous. The last time I stood here, watching Chenle like this, he was dead. He was dead and I didn't even realise it, I just thought he was sleeping peacefully. Before I could even think, I found myself walking over to Chenle's bedside and sweeping his hand in mine. I placed my index and middle finger against his wrist and felt the steady strum of his heartbeat. He is alive, he is still breathing and his heart is still beating. I slowly calmed down and took a deep breath. I placed his hand back down softly before brushed the hair on his forehead back. I gently traced my hand down his face, smiling at how relaxed and happy he seemed in his slip. He started to stir slightly so I quickly pulled back so as to not accidentally wake him up. I don't know how much longer he's going to be sleeping for so I'll probably go downstairs and watch something while I wait for him to wake up. I went to leave before hesitating and turning back around, walking over to my desk. I grabbed a pen and paper and begun to write.

Lele,

Everyone went out to eat but we didn't want to wake you so we let you get some more rest.

I didn't go because I didn't want you to feel left out when that was no ones intention so you can find me watching TV in the loungeroom if you want me

Jisung

I placed it on his bedside table before finally leaving the room and going down to the loungeroom. I turned on the TV and flicked Netflix on, choosing to watch a show called 'The Umbrella Academy'. It's actually a lot better than I expected, it's a good show. I watching it for an hour when I heard the sound of a door opening and closing. Chenle's finally awake. I didn't look away from the TV, just continued to watch the show as I heard Chenle's shuffling footsteps getting closer. A few minutes later, he plopped down next to me and slipped his head under my arm, cuddling up to my side. I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and held him gently as I watched Five and Diego argue once again. Chenle cuddled closer to me, turning to the side slightly so he could snuggle his face into the crook of my neck, his nose brushing against my skin slightly. He hummed happily and wrapped his arms around my waist, making me look down at him briefly to give him a small smile but he couldn't see as his head was buried in my neck. I looked back to the screen and just let Chenle stay relaxed in my arms. I like times like these when it's just us cuddling and relax, just enjoying each other's presence. I felt something else brush against my neck and I was confused at first but when I felt it press slightly harder, I realised he was giving me one of his little kisses that he likes to give. I tightened my hold on him as he pulled back slightly.

"Thank you Sungie. For staying to make sure I wasn't alone," he whispered softly.

"It's fine Lele. I love having you around, I'd always stay with you," I said truthfully.

"I love you Jisung," he said softly. Chenle is very tsundere and it's moment like these that I love the most, when he relaxes and shows his soft and endearing smile. I mean I love him no matter what but these are some of my favourite moments.

"I love you too Chenle, very much," I replied. I slipped my hand underneath his shirt and caressed his side softly, making him relax even more in my hold. I chuckled as Five made yet another funny remark, going quiet when Chenle placed another small kiss onto my neck. I don't know what it is about Chenle and his obsession with kissing my neck sometimes. I used to find it odd and he got scared that I thought he was being disgusting but after he told me it helps him relax and calm down, I decided it was fine. Plus it feels nice and helps me relax as well so there's no harm done. The other's don't really know about it though, cos they might take it the wrong way. I leant my head to the right slightly to give him better access as I continued to watch the movie.

"How do you get your skin so smooth," Chenle mumbled, making me giggle at the tickling sensation.

"I'm just naturally awesome," I said, making him chuckle as he pressed another small kiss to my neck, this time lower than before.

"What're you watching," he asked me, moving his head so he could look at the TV but keeping it tucked in my neck.

"The Umbrella Academy. Do you wanna watch," I asked him.

"No, I'm good here," he said, placing a small kiss on my collarbone. I frowned and looked down as he peered up at me.

"You're extra, I dunno how to put it. Extra touchy today," I said with a small frown as I brushed his hair softly. Either he's upset or he's just tired and clingy. Hopefully it's the latter.

"Sorry, is it uncomfortable," he asked quickly. He went to sit up but I chuckled and resting my head on his to stop him from moving.

"I'm not uncomfortable Chenle. I just want to make sure you're ok," I told him.

"Oh, well I'm fine. You're just really warm and it's soothing," he shrugged.

"It's ok, I was just wondering," I said, squeezing his hips softly.

"Am I fine to keep going or do you want me to go," he asked me.

"Stay, you're fine," I nodded. He went back to snuggling up against my neck, just resting there and every once in a while, pressing a small kiss to my skin as I just held him gently. After a while he went slack in my against my side and his soft even breaths brushed against my skin. I was confused at first but then I realised he had somehow managed to fall asleep yet again. I chuckled warmly and pulled him fully onto my lap so he was laying sideways, leaning against my chest, his head still tucked into my neck. Once he was in a comfortable position, I continued to watch the show on the TV. It wasn't until an hour later when the other's finally got home. The door opened and they walked inside, pausing when they saw the two of us before they looked between each other. I raised an eyebrow in confusion at how they were acting. They were acting weird.

"Is there something going on between you two," Mark asked softly.

"What do you mean? Like are we fighting or something," I asked in confusion.

"No, like are you guys, together or something," he clarified. My mouth dropped open in shock and I went bright red. See this is what I wanted to avoid.

"No, we are definitely not together. Why in the world would you think that," I asked shaking my head.

"You guys almost always end up sleeping next to each other, despite there being a bed only a few meters away from you guys," Haechan said.

"So? You and Mark sleep next to each other sometimes," I shrugged.

"Occasionally, not consistently. Your guys do it 2 out of 3 times at least," Haechan said.

"Well it's comfortable and warm. Plus it stops me from having nightmares," I said with a small frown.

"You guys are always cuddling each other which isn't bad but you seem closer than everyone else," Jaemin said.

"Well not always but yeah we do cuddle. But lot's of people cuddle, that's not anything new," I pointed out.

"You're protective of each other, extremely protective of each other. If someone insults Chenle, you're there in mere seconds protecting him. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but you always seem like you want to protect him," Jeno said. I don't get why this has suddenly turned into 20 questions but oh well.

"I do want to protect him. Chenle may be older than me but he's too nice, too naïve sometimes so obviously I protect him," I said with a frown.

"Fair enough," Jeno shrugged.

"You guys hold hands a lot as we-."

"Is this like 20 questions or something? Everything you guys are saying is stuff that everyone does, we're just more open with it because we don't care," I said rolling my eyes.

"Don't think we don't notice those little kisses you guys give each other. After practice in the back of the van, when we're watching a scary movie, stuff like that," Renjun said raising an eyebrow up at me. If Chenle wasn't sleeping in my arms, I'd find the closest thing to me and throw it at all of them.

"For starters, it's usually Chenle and the only reason we do that is because it's calms him down, and it calms me down. If one of us is nervous, just being near each other helps to keep us calm. Ok, nothing is happening between up, he's my best friend," I said firmly.

"Ok," Jeno nodded before he walked off, the other's following.

"Wake him up so the two of you can eat," Mark told me before he left, following the other's. I moved Chenle around a bit and gently rubbed his cheek to wake him up. His eyes slowly blink open and he gave me a small smile before yawning and hugging me softly.

"Wakey, wakey Lele. I'm hungry and they've brought back food," I said.

"I can't be bothered, I'm too comfortable," he pouted. I don't get what's with him today but I'm not complaining.

"I'm hungry," I frowned.

"Then carry me," he shrugged. I rolled my eyes but did as he asked, scooping him up as I stood and carrying him to the dining room. Renjun was there already, fixing up our plates. He stopped and looked us up and down before scoffing and saying something in Chinese that I couldn't understand. Chenle could though, given how he turned his head and replied, making Renjun roll his eyes and walks away.

"What was that about," I asked Chenle.

"I dunno to be honest," he said. I placed him down on his chair, going to move over to the other side of the table but he grabbed my arm and whined with pout.

"What is going on with you Chenle? I've never seen you this clingy before," I said.

"I'm happy, you make me happy. We've both been having a bad week but we're there for each other. This is me saying thank you, plus I feel warm and relax so who cares," he said. I sat down and grabbed my food, trying to hide the smile that slipped onto my face at his words. It was sweet, sickly sweet but I'll let it pass. He grabbed his bowl and begun to eat, both of us just staying silent as we ate.

"Can we annoy our Hyungs today," Chenle asked suddenly. I choked on my food in shock, coughing as he hit my back roughly.

"Weird question but obviously. Who're we going annoy first," I asked, raising and eyebrow.

"Renjunnie," he said slowly as he looked at me. We both grinned evilly before we quickly began shovelling our food into our mouths, eager to get to work.
