Won't you crawl up in this bed with me, (oh)
Cozy up in these sheets, girl
Tell 'em whatever you please (yeah, yeah)
Look, ima keep this simple
If you could take this invitation
And just come over to mine
I'll let you decide
If you wanna, just say so
Stay through the night, just me and you
해뜰때까지만, baby
곁에 있어줘 yeah (oh)
I just wanna get close to you
All I wanna do is take you to my place
1:24 am
The light in your bathroom is far too bright, you’ve decided. You try to keep out the light from your eyes by keeping them half-closed while your hand lazily moves your toothbrush across your teeth. You should be fully asleep right now, but you woke up after dozing off while watching an episode of a new show you had been binge-watching. That was 15 minutes ago. You spent 10 minutes laying in your bed, fully clothed, trying to choose between just going to sleep or changing into your PJs and brushing your teeth.
“Self-care includes dental care and not sleeping in jeans,” Chanhee had told you when you first became friends.
So of course, you had changed into your pajamas (really just a big t-shirt and some shorts), tossed your bra onto your lounge chair, and trudged toward your bathroom to pee and now…you’re brushing your teeth. Or at least you’re trying to without falling asleep.
Your phone buzzing scares you so bad, it wakes you up. You turn in the direction of your room, where your phone is, and go find out who in the world would be calling you at…1:28 am.
You pick your phone up, toothbrush still in your mouth, and find your boyfriend’s name on your screen.
“Sunwoo?” His name comes out of your mouth muffled. Sunwoo softly laughs and greets you.
“Hey babe,” he mimics the way you said his name, and you roll your eyes, taking Sunwoo back to your bathroom. You remove your toothbrush and spit into the sink.
“Why are you calling me this late? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” You ask him.
“I could ask you the same thing,” Sunwoo says, and you look off to the side as if you’d been caught doing something you weren’t supposed to.
“I was actually just…about to go to bed. I was brushing my teeth,” You inform him.
“Oh really? Well, I have a proposal for you.”
You narrow your eyes, even though Sunwoo can’t see you.
“What kind of proposal are we talking about?”
“Come over to my place and stay the night with me.”
You freeze in place, trying to process his suggestion. You’d never spent the night with a significant other before. This would be your first time doing so, not to mention, your first time spending the night with Sunwoo. Your heart rate starts climbing steadily in your chest, but you remain calm on the outside.
“It’s 1:30 in the morning Sunwoo, I’m not driving to your place,” you say softly, yet firmly.
“You don’t have to drive, babe—”
“Well if you think I’m going to walk there, you’re out of your mind,” you put your hand on your hip.
“Baby…I’m outside your place in my car,” Sunwoo laughs. There’s a few beats of silence on your end, and then Sunwoo looks up and sees you peering at him through your blinds. He waves before you speak again.
“I’ll be down in 5 minutes.”
Sunwoo’s hearty laugh resonates through your phone speakers and you can’t help but smile at the sound while you grab a sweater and some of your basic belongings.
“I knew you wouldn’t be able to say no,” he says.
“Shut up before I change my mind,” you joke.
“I’ll see you soon,” Sunwoo tells you before hanging up.
Sunwoo sets his phone in the cup holder of his car while he waits for you, excited that you agreed to stay at his place that night. He doesn’t have specific intentions, he just wants to hold you and spend uninterrupted time with you.
You tap on his window to get his attention and to have him unlock his car for you. Sunwoo’s car is reflective of his persona, and you admit it’s a bit of a cliche for someone like him. He has a clean, sleek sports car that nearly blends in with the asphalt of the street. You’d never really cared much about cars themselves, you just liked watching your boyfriend drive. Something about Sunwoo driving was just attractive, and so you never said no if he offered to drive you anywhere.
When you slide into the passenger seat, Sunwoo is already facing you, lips puckered and eyes closed, ready for a kiss. You snort, leaning over and kissing his cheek instead.
“Baby,” he pouts when you pull away from him.
“What?” you ask.
“I want a kiss,” he pouts harder and you smirk.
“I gave you one,” you point out.
“No, I want a real one,” he says.
“I’ll give you one when we get to your place, otherwise we’re never going to leave my complex,” you explain. Sunwoo blinks before he quickly turns on his car and speeds off toward his place (which is really just a big house where he and all his friends stayed).
“OKAY PLEASE FOLLOW THE TRAFFIC LAWS!” you shout over the roar of his engine, and he smiles widely.
“MAYBE IF YOU’D KISSED ME!” he shouts back.
“SUNWOO STOP THE CAR!” you yell. Sunwoo does as you say, putting the car in park at a stop sign. There was no one else on the road, so he wasn’t worried about holding up traffic.
Sunwoo turns to you and you practically launch yourself at him, pressing your lips to his. Sunwoo smirks into the kiss, loving how quickly you gave into him. When you pull away, you catch his smug expression.
“See, that wasn’t so hard now was it?” he sits back and puts his hand back on the steering wheel in a way that has your mind wandering places.
“Just get us back to your place in one piece, please,” you lightly smack his arm and cross yours.
“Alright, as you say, your majesty,” he says and puts his car in drive. The rest of the drive home is quiet, you finally calming down and remembering how tired you are.
Sunwoo pulls into his spot in the driveway of the TBZ house just as you’re ready to pass out.
“We’re here, babe,” he whispers while unbuckling his seatbelt. You groggily unbuckle your own seatbelt and stumble out of his car, completely forgetting your bag. Sunwoo grabs it for you, then gets out. He watches as you shuffle around the front of his car and over to him.
Sunwoo leads you inside as quietly as he can. Everyone in the house is already asleep to his knowledge. It’s possible that Eric is still awake, but he doesn’t wanna risk it. He especially doesn’t want to wake up Kevin, since he knows that he’d get a lot of shit from him the next day if he did.
Sunwoo somehow manages to take you up the stairs carefully. When you both get to his bedroom, he turns on the bedside lamp, and you are met with the familiar sight of his queen-sized bed. You glance at Sunwoo as he sets down your bag and closes his door.
The light of the bedside lamp illuminates his face in a way that just sends your heart into a frenzy. His tousled black locks fall over his eyes that look at you with such love and admiration and you feel the need to pinch yourself to confirm that it’s not a dream.
“I’m really glad you’re here,” Sunwoo whispers, sitting down on the bed in front of you. You give him a soft smile and play with his hair.
“I’m glad I’m here too,” you tell him.
“Okay, now curl up in this bed with me, baby, it’s late,” Sunwoo gestures to the bed with his head.
“Oh, so you don’t have any ulterior motives?” You tease him.
“No, I just want cuddles, I swear,” he whispers as you walk over to your side of the bed. You slip underneath his covers and duvet, enjoying how you can smell his body wash from the cloth. Sunwoo joins you under his covers, scooting close to you while you scoot closer to him. The two of you face each other, saying nothing but making complete eye contact with each other.
“I lied. I might want another kiss,” Sunwoo says just above a whisper.
“Hm,” you hum in amusement, “I already gave you one.”
“But I want more.”
“That’s a little greedy don’t you think?” You raise an eyebrow.
“Well…can you blame me?” Sunwoo asks. You softly giggle before reaching up to cup his face in your hands.
“Fine. But only if you give me one first,” you tell him, and without missing a beat, Sunwoo leans down and captures your lips with his. You sigh into the kiss while reciprocating, and the next thing you know, you and Sunwoo are making out beneath his covers. It’s not frantic and fast-paced. No; it’s slow, lazy, but still passionate. It’s full of love, affection, and yearning. You couldn’t complain.
After you both pull away, you hide your face in Sunwoo’s shoulder, snuggled up to him. He chuckles softly but wraps an arm around you to keep you close. Sleep finally begins to take over his body, as it does yours.
“Goodnight, baby.”
