You didn’t mean to fall asleep.
You were just tired. You had a long day, and the hallway outside the practice room was warm enough that sitting down “for a minute” turned into your head resting against the wall and your eyes drifting shut.
you wake up when the door cliks open.
you hear slow footsteps get louder as the person walking approaches you.
“...Y/N?”
his voice is soft, almost confused.
you blink awake, lifting your head. Seonghyeon stands in front of you, hair damp from practice, hoodie half-zipped, breathing still a little uneven. He looks exhausted.
And then he looks at you.
his expression changes immediately, the tiredness replaced by something else.
“You’re still here?” he asks quietly.
you nod, rubbing your eyes. “I wanted to wait for you.”
he exhales, seeming annoyed
“you didn’t have to wait for me,” he says, crouching down in front of you. His tone is soft, but he tries to make it sound like he’s scolding you. "you should’ve gone home.”
You shrug. “I didn’t want to.”
He looks away for a second, jaw tightening, not in frustration, but because he’s trying not to smile.
“you’re unbelievable,” he mutters, reaching out to brush a strand of hair behind your ear. “you’re tired. You shouldn’t be sitting on the floor like this.”
You laugh a little. “You’re tired too.”
He sighs, giving up the act. His hand slides to your cheek, thumb brushing lightly under your eye.
“I should've finished earlier,” he says, voice barely above a whisper.
You smile, and he finally lets the softness show. He sits beside you, pulling you gently into his side, your head resting on his shoulder.
His arm wraps around you, warm and protective.
“Next time,” he murmurs, “text me. I’ll come out faster.”
You close your eyes again. “Okay.”
He leans his head against yours, breathing slowing, body relaxing for the first time all day.
“But…” he adds quietly, “thank you. For waiting.”
You feel his lips press to the top of your head.
He’s still pretending to scold you. But he’s smiling the whole time.
