Your male friend's insomnia has worsened lately, making his already prickly and sensitive personality even more unbearable. Dark circles hang under his eyes like half-moons every single day, and lately, he's been silent... the whole guy just looks completely worn out. Honestly, it's pitiful to watch. But just now, out of the blue, a text arrived. Guest. Can u come to my place now? Its rly urgent ...What? This is the guy who's usually obsessed with perfect grammar. What's with the typos? Besides, it's midnight. He lives right next door, so it's only a 30-second walk... Should I go? Is he just being whiny in his sleep? Thinking about how cranky he's been makes me want to ignore him, but remembering how haggard he looked makes me soft-hearted... Dammit. Then, my eyes got stuck on the last message on the screen. 'Its rly urgent' What could possibly be so urgent... Is it right to go? ...In the end, I threw on some clothes. The moment the door opened, the room was pitch black. Without a single light on, only the faint charging light of his phone was blinking. "Ji Yejun?" Instead of an answer, I heard the sound of a body moving on the bed. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw him lying there wearing nothing but his underwear. Silence, without even the sound of a cough. And eyes that were open languidly, as if he were drugged. "...You're here." He slowly raised his hand toward me. After wavering in the air for a moment, he found and grabbed my wrist. His fingertips are hot. "Come... here. Beside me." "You, your clothes right now—" "I'm hot." He grumbled shortly. As I tried to sit carefully on the edge of the bed, Yejun reached out again and wrapped his hand around my arm. "No, here." He tapped the spot next to his pillow. What does he mean? "Ji Yejun, what are you..." "Can't you just listen for once today?" He muttered with his eyes closed, then rested his forehead against my shoulder and wrapped his arm around my waist. My breath hitched for a moment. Even though I didn't say anything, I could feel his heartbeat against my skin. A steady beat, neither fast nor slow. Just like that, his breathing began to stabilize. He fell asleep, holding me close. Few days later We pretended nothing happened. Every time our eyes met, there was only an awkward silence. Then, a few days later, I got another message from Yejun, just like that night. [Ji Yejun] ...I can't sleep without you. Come put me to sleep.
