Pov Ricky

He left his bowl on the table, and grabbed Jiwoong by his hand. They went to the living room, and Ricky opened the TV.

It was for about 2 hours that they were watching a series, and they completely lost sense of time.

Jiwoong was so tired. He had stayed awake, to take care of Ricky while he was asleep. So he just fell asleep while they were watching one of the last episodes.

He unconsciously rested his head on Ricky's shoulder, and his lips were gently touching his neck.

Ricky shivered, and looked at Jiwoong, raising his eyebrow. But once he saw him sleeping, his heart melted.

He was even trying not to breathe too loud, not wanting to wake him up before tomorrow morning.

But it was then that Matthew had to call Ricky, and Jiwoong woke up looking kinda drunk.

"Did I sleep?"

"Yeah, and my phone woke you up. Sorry. Go to my bed to sleep, and close the door so you can sleep better."

Jiwoong nodded, and tiredly stood up. As he qent into the room and closed the door, Ricky picked up the phone.

"What's up, Matt?"

"I'm sorry for not following you..."

"Are you crying?!"

"I just feel bad. Really bad. I'm such a terrible friend."

It was the first time something like that was happening, and Ricky panicked, not knowing what to do.

"You are the best friend someone could ever have. Do you want me to come over?"

"Gunwook's here, but I've locked myself in the bathroom, so he doesn't know anything. But I'll be fine, I promise. Do you feel any better?"

"I'm good, don't worry about me. Are you sure you don't want me there?"

Ricky was worried, but Matthew kept telling him not to go. And he didn't want to make him feel bad, so he stopped.

"If anything happens you immediately call me, yeah?"

"I promise."

Ricky sighed, and hung up. He laid back, closed his eyes, and regardless of falling asleep at noon, he fell asleep again.

Until midnight, when he heard someone crying quietly. He immediately got up, and went to his room.

Jiwoong was crying in his sleep. What kind of a nightmare was he having to cry so much, non-stop?

He quickly laid next to him, holding his hands tightly. Jiwoong's face was wet because of the tears.

He cried last night, too. And Ricky had to stop that as quickly as he could. Jiwoong was breathing heavily, and he was shaking.

"Hyung, wake up. It's just a nightmare. Calm down, you're safe."

Ricky said with a soft, and sweet voice, hugging the elder's upper body like he was a pillow.

It was like Jiwoong was awake. He stopped crying, and he wasn't shaking as much as he was shaking before.

He spent a lot of time looking at him, until he was completely fine. He didn't even look sad.

Right then, Ricky looked at the elder's lips, and sighed. Maybe kissing him wasn't that bad if no one knew about it.

"Oh, the things you make me do."

He whispered, and leaned in. He placed his lips on Jiwoong's, and felt really good. Better than the first time.

He stood up quickly, in case Jiwoong woke up while he was kissing him, and left. But his mind was still in there.

That was definitely not straight, but he also didn't want to call himself a bisexual boy. It didn't sound good.

What if he didn't like girls at all? He had never thought about it. Well, it sounded really logical.

But he was scared to officially say he liked boys. He didn't even know if it was the truth. Tho it was obvious.

He had to know that for sure. But he didn't want to tell Jiwoong. Although Jiwoong clearly liked him, he couldn't say it.

And no one could know about it. He chose to ignore it for that time, and he fell asleep again.

He saw a weird dream. Matthew actually had a girlfriend and Jiwoong was just like Ricky. He hated gays.

And Ricky had a huge crush on him. But Jiwoong hated him so much, that they got into a fight. And Jiwoong almost... Killed him.

Ricky woke up, all sweaty, and scared. He ran to his room, to check if Jiwoong was in there, but he wasn't.

"Hey."

Someone said from behind him, and his breath almost stopped. He turned around and squealed as he saw Jiwoong looking at him.

"Calm down, it's me."

"You don't hate me, do you? You won't hurt me."

"Are you okay? Why would I ever do that? I just went to the bathroom. You're sweaty."

Ricky looked at Jiwoong in the eyes, grabbed his hoodie, and held it tightly, with shaky hands.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

The younger nodded, holding Jiwoong's hoodie even tighter. He looked so tiny and cute in Jiwoong's arms.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, little one."

The elder said, and gave Ricky a soft pat on his head, as he smiled, making the young boy smile too.

"Come on, let's go to sleep."

"Together?"

"I promise I won't touch you. Not even accidentally."

They went to Ricky's room, and laid on his bed, which fortunately was really big and they had enough space.

"Sleep well. If you have a nightmare again, just wake me up."

"Yes, hyung. Goodnight."

The night went by, peacefully. When Ricky woke up, Jiwoong had already left. He was nowhere in the house to be seen.

Ricky just got ready for school, and quickly left, not wanting to be late. And probably Jiwoong didn't want to be late either, because he was already there.

The younger sighed relieved, and turned around to go to the place where Matthew was.

"Morning!"

Matthew happily said, making Ricky even happier because that meant he wasn't overthinking anymore.

"Morningggg."

"You look really happy."

"Probably because I am. Long story. Let's just go, hm?"
