”you're here.” he whispered aloud to himself, smiling tenderly as he ran his fingers over your cheek, trying to touch as gently as possible so as not to wake you up. In the dream, you looked even sweeter, so calm and relaxed, as if you still had all the time in the world ahead of you, even though you did.

you didn't run away, you stayed with him after last night, a spontaneous night wrapped in whispers, the warmth of your bodies, promises, intertwined fingers and countless of his kisses on your skin. he didn't know what you'd be thinking when you woke up, how you'd feel about what had happened when the memories came back to you, but for now, he was just enjoying the moment with you, silently fantasizing about having this as his every morning.

all he wanted was stability. everything that had happened between you was supposed to be the beginning, the new chapter of your future together. he could already feel his cheeks warming at the thought of it, until he couldn't get enough of the fact that you were sleeping peacefully next to him like that. he couldn't have dreamed of more.

”I hope you have the sweetest dreams.”emphasizing his words, he adjusted the blanket you were sleeping under. Dong-ju just couldn't resist leaning in closer, kissing you gently on the cheek, too proud of having the right to do so. In response, you frowned slightly, and your closed eyelids fluttered as he held his breath, resting his head on the pillow and averting his gaze, fearing that his restless lips would wake you.
