It had been a roller-coaster of a week for the two of them, that sleeping with each other had become a luxury; a getaway of some sort, where there’s only the two of them in her room, and no one else. Seungah found peace in his presence, and she relished every moment she had with him in private. With him, there were no sleepless nights full of tossing and turning, until that one time, when he came home to her, tired, cranky and exhausted. He had been hurt during rehearsals, and she had attended to him like she always does, just ignoring his irate state. That night, when they went to bed, tension was high, as she held to every bit of patience she had.It wasn’t that she was a push-over to him, no; she simply knew better than to bite back when he was in pain and/or in obvious irritation. With minimal interactions, they both went to sleep, their backs facing each other instead of cuddling one another, like every night that they spend together.In her slumber, stress manifested itself in the form of a bad dream—he had come home and they had fought, for he had finally pushed her over the edge. Words were thrown all over the place; they were literally holding back from actually hitting one another, resorting to just stomping, or balling up their hands into fists that their knuckles have turned white. She had screamed at him and he shouted back; and everything ended when she finally asked him to leave, which he did. He packed up his things and left her just like that.It was uncommon for Seungah to have dreams, even more so nightmares. She often slept peacefully, regardless of what was going on through her life. It was the first time in a very long time (if not in her life) that she had actually jolted awake, Jaebum’s face quickly coming into vision as he hovered over her, worry written all over her face. “Noona!” He exclaimed, letting out a sigh of relief when she’d finally woken up from her dream. “Jesus Christ, I thought you’d never wake up… you were whimpering in your sleep! Not to mention, you kept tossing and turning, and you were murmuring my name and…” His voice trailed off as her attention zeroed in on the fact that he was there. He hadn’t left.Whatever tension between them was gone as he was back to his usual, caring self. With her gaze fixed on his face, she felt something tug at her heart, and her brows furrowed, scowling as her eyes brimmed with tears. His eyes widened, and the next thing she knew, she had already thrown herself at him, arms wrapped around his neck as she sobbed, muttering apologies repeatedly. “…aigoo, Semi.” He sighed. With the way that his hand gently caressed her back, and how he whispered assurances into her ear, she knew that everything was alright—that it was just stress; that no one was going to fight, and that he was not going to leave her that night. And to her, that was all that really mattered. They were fine.
