You and your boyfriend, Tae, both unfortunately suffered with insomnia. You became close after you guys repeatedly slept in the same spot during school hours in the summer, trying to catch up on the hours you missed during the night. It only grew harder to sleep as winter came around.

The pills didn’t work for either of you as it was some underlying problem, so alcohol was the next best thing. Another sleepless night passed during the cool time of november, Tae was staring at you with his face pressed up the cool, glass bottle as you were sprawled out on top of the sheets, your legs lying on top of his stomach. The two of you in the most random positions yet maintaining contact. You figured it would be better to spend the boring nights with someone by your side. As you glanced up at the window, the moon illuminating the room and producing a bluish glow, tae spoke up. “Any more?” he offered shaking the bottle slightly. You moved the bottle to the side after one final swig, tae placed his hand on your calf, rubbing his thumb gently over it. The two of you lay in silence, staring up at either the window or ceiling, your eyes stinging from the lack of sleep.
