the four of them got into yunho's car as they agreed to pick up someone on the way.

"alright, so where to?" the blonde asked, already starting the vehicle.

"san's!" wooyoung excitedly says.

"have you even asked him?" jihae snickered, buckling up her seatbelt.

"it'll be a surprise, and his mom loves me!" the silver haired grinned. "i'll also call yeosang and jongho to see if they're down."

he scrolled through his contacts and put the call in speaker mode.

"what do you want?" a blunt, bored voice answered.

"glad you're doing well, yeo." wooyoung rolled his eyes at the greeting while the others snorted. "anyway, wanna have a sleep over? we're all coming."

the boy on the other line paused for a second or two. "who's coming exactly?"

"jihae, yunho-"

"can yeona come?" yeosang almost immediately asked.

and just as those words left the speaker, the car abruptly stopped, causing the other three to complain.

"what the hell, yunho?" jihae scrunched her face.

"where was san's house again?" the driver questioned, ears growing a shade of red.

"turn left." the female sophomore directed.

"you guys good?"

"perfect." wooyoung answered the brunette while glaring at his tall best friend. "of course, yeona can come. you know where my apartment is, right?"

"don't be such a pussy-" yeosang's voice became fainter as if pulling the phone away from his mouth. "yeah, yeah, we'll be there."

"see you!" and he ended the call.

"hope you don't mind, i texted seonghwa so he's coming with hongjoong." jihae informed the group.

"the more, the merrier." beamed the culinary major. "next person, jongho."

he dialed the freshman's number only to be greeted with a voicemail. "looks like he's busy."

wooyoung proceeded to dial somebody else's number. "mingi! wanna come to my place? we're having a sleepover."

this time, he didn't put the phone in speaker mode like the previous call, so the rest couldn't hear the conversation. that made the yunho really anxious.

yes, he's been sharing a few words with the redhead but it was nothing like how they were before. how he wishes they could be close buds again.

"great! my place, now." the culinary major instructed and hung up.

"is that san's place?" the blonde pointed at a well-lit house.

wooyoung nodded excitedly and opened the car door. "i'll ask his mom first. wait here." he proceeded to jog to the house.

after a couple of minutes, the three saw the couple going out of the house with a woman by the door waving goodbye to them and wooyoung overly excited waving back at her.

once the pair got in the vehicle, san began hitting his boyfriend while muttering "i can't believe you did that."

the silver haired only kissed his cheek and mumbled an "i love you.", resulting the other to pout.

"yunho, i wanna see my boyfriend, too. step on it." jihae announced teasingly.

soyeon, then, joined in. "yeah, yunho." she lets out a giggle.

"hey, i wanna see them, too." the tallest huffed.

"also, san. is jongho busy? he's not picking up." the psychology major questioned the newly arrived boy.

"oh, i think he's with minjee?" the guy with red streaks on his hair answered unsurely. "that's usually the case when we get ignored."

soon, yunho parked in front of the building where wooyoung's apartment was.

they also spotted a familiar car, owned by a familiar junior. seonghwa stepped out from the driver's door and hongjoong on the other side.

jihae happily got out of the car, faster than the others, to greet her lover. "hi!"

the cinematography major locked his car, then kissed the girl on top of her head. "hey."

"you don't have work tonight?"

seonghwa shook his head. "i took a leave. thought i deserve a break for acing the finals." he said with pride, making the girl feel proud as well.

hongjoong jogged over to soyeon, a bit confused as to why jihae was there. "i thought your sister couldn't come." he whispered, giving her a peck.

"jihae was the one who invited seonghwa. how'd you not know?" soyeon replied, laughing a bit.

the blue haired junior winced as realization hits him. "he just said he was invited to a sleepover, so i thought wooyoung-" he inhaled deeply. "atleast i get to see you."

another car pulled up behind seonghwa's.

"are we late?" a deep voice was heard, causing them to smile.

he was with the kang cousins who both looked like they were done with each other.

"not at all!"

yunho expected to be ignored but was shocked when he saw yeona walking up to him with a frown. "can you please hit yeosang? just once." she requested.

"i think i might lose an arm." the blonde chuckled.

after exchanging greetings, the group of ten made their way to wooyoung's apartment, a bit surprised when it didn't feel crowded.

"okay, so whatcha guys want to do?" the owner of the apartment asked as he took his boyfriend's jacket.

"sleep?" yeosang boredly says, earning a huff from wooyoung.

"oh, come on. it's still- like, what? seven?"

the brunette shrugged as if bot seeing his point. "a perfect time to doze off if you ask me."

"how about we just decide where we'll sleep, then we'll think of some fun things to do later. hm?" hongjoong suggested to avoid both sassy mouths to start arguing.  it seemed to work.

"so, girls and boys?" soyeon questions.

the apartment had two bedrooms —wooyoung's large room, and a guest room that contained a bunk bed and an extra mattress (he got it from his relatives who couldn't think of a moving out gift and ended up buying him, not one but four beds).

talk about lucky. the boys can sleep in the guest room while-

"uh, no." yeosang spoke up. "i don't want to watch wooyoung and san flirt." he scrunched his face. "and there are, like, seven of us."

well, that was more or less an excuse. the reason he invited yeona was to set her up with yunho, so there's no way that's not happening.

second, sleeping in the guest room means he'll might be sleeping on the floor or couch and that's a no-no for him.

"well, should we choose partners?" wooyoung's eyes lights up at the idea. before anyone can say anything he continues, "i obviously pick my one and only love." he declares, putting an arm around san who could only try his best not to blush.

"we all know where this is going." yeosang mumbles. it's more likely the ones dating will be partners, and he wants to be a good companion and spare his strawberry haired friend the chances of laying in bed with his previous crush. "come here, mingi. you're sleeping with me."

the red head cringes. "that sounds so wrong."

the education major could see his cousin's eyes widening, and he only replied with smirk and good luck.

jihae scoots closer to seonghwa, linking their arms together. "so, us?" she whispered.

the ravenette stops a grin from forming on his face. "you're not pairing up with soyeon?"

"i mean, she's a bit preoccupied." she tilted her head towards her sister who was busy giggling with her fellow fashion student.

this made seonghwa beam and gave his girlfriend and tight side hug. "alright."

"i have a mattress and a bunk bed in the guest room. that leaves one pair to sleep on the couch." wooyoung announced after seeing the couples (except for yeosang and mingi).

mingi cocked an eyebrow. "how about your ro-"

"exclusive for me and my prince." the grey haired answered with a smug tone.

this made yeosang roll his eyes and sigh. "well, mingi has back problems so he needs a bed."

"awe, yeo." the taller faked a touched tone.

"yeona has insomnia." yunho clears his throat to gain attention from the group.

just then, seonghwa glanced down at his partner. it was like they made an agreement with their eyes.

"we'll take the couch!" jihae claimed.

°

after all the fun they had, games they played, snacks they ate and movies they watched, it was finally time for everyone to go to bed.

they all went to the places they were assigned to sleep, saying their goodnights to the others.

you could sense the happiness, exhaustion, and maybe nervousness as each pair lays down (aside from woosan who were constantly tickling each other on the way to the room).

"after you, ji." seonghwa gestured to the couch.

it was surprisingly big enough for the both of them, or it might be because they were thinking of cuddling to make more space but, same thing.

"finally sleeping beside me, huh, park?" the girl grinned.

"it's not like i have a choice."

"so, you're only doing this because you were forced to?" she teasingly provoked.

instead of a response, jihae was pushed on the couch. "ow."

the junior crawled beside her, also laying on his back. "here." he offered his arm as a pillow for her head.

the girl wrapped arm around his torso and tangling their feet together. she gave a peck on his neck, making him giggle wholesomely.

"i wonder what it's like if you fall a sleep in my arms every night." seonghwa softly mums, slightly caressing her.

jihae hummed at the statement. "they'll go numb and you won't be able to feel your arms anymore."

"no to cheesiness it is." the boy placed one last kiss on her head for the day, only to give many more tomorrow and the next day after that.
