Chapter Text
The piano melody could be heard from Jaehan's room, and the sweet sound made Yechan's sleepiness seep away. He just walked past Jaehan's room when he heard it and subconsciously knocked on the door. In the next second he came to his senses. What if his Hyung is asleep? Was the melody meant to be a lullaby? Before Yechan had time to run away, there was an answer from inside.
"Who is it? Just come in, the door is not locked."
Although a little hesitant, Yechan carefully turned the doorknob. He quickly glanced at the watch that was still on his right wrist. 02:15 AM. Pushing to open the door sufficiently, he poked his head into the room. There was only one desk lamp next to the computer that was turned on. The brightness from that little lamp and the computer screen illuminated the dark room. "Hyung."
Jaehan turned his chair to face the door. His face looked tired, but he smiled when he saw Yechan at his door. "Hey. You haven't slept yet? Or do you just want to say good night?" Before Yechan answered, Jaehan continued with English. "Good night, Yechan-ah. Sweet dreams."
Hearing Jaehan's adorable and soothing voice, Yechan smiled broadly. Instantly his tiredness disappeared and he wanted to be with Jaehan a little longer. "Can I go in?"
"Of course," Jaehan replied quickly, a little surprised by the question. He grabbed the pillow in the middle of his bed and threw it into the corner. After tidying up his blanket that he hadn't had time to fold, Jaehan tossed the mound of cloth to the corner with his pillow so that there was enough free space on his single person bed. "Come sit here."
Like a puppy lured by a snack, Yechan happily walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and then sat cross-legged on Jaehan's bed. He observed Jaehan who was putting an earphone on his right ear and refocusing on his computer screen. There are many gray lines and squares on the screen.
Jaehan's eyes were still glued to the screen when he realized Yechan was completely silent. He turned his head, finding Yechan just looking at him with a wide smile. Yechan's smile was contagious so Jaehan smiled too. "Do you have anything to say? Weren't you sleepy? You even fell asleep while filming."
"Ah, are you disturbed with me staying here?" asked Yechan sadly, his lips pursed slightly. His face turned gloomy. "Am I bothering you?"
Jaehan shook his head quickly and his hair went messy. "It's not like that. But aren't you tired of sitting here doing nothing? I just don't want you to be too tired and get sick. Today we will start filming at 11 o'clock. You'd better sleep–"
"Hyung."
Blinking incomprehensibly, Jaehan closed his mouth as he waited for Yechan to continue his words.
"Hyung must be tired too. Why don't you go to sleep?" Yechan reached out, delicately tidying up Jaehan's messy hair. Since the side of the bed was attached to Jaehan's desk, Yechan could easily use his long arm to reach Jaehan's head. After combing through the older’s hair, he massaged Jaehan's left shoulder gently. "Your neck is so stiff."
Jaehan closed his eyes, enjoyed Yechan's massage on his shoulder, and then smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but I have to finish this song today. Before the guide song was finished, I shouldn't sleep. This is just the first song guide."
"And you need to make three, right?" Yechan asked sympathetically, now massaging both Jaehan's shoulders with his hands. "How can I help you?"
Jaehan's hands held both of Yechan's wrists so that Yechan removed his grip from his shoulders. He looked at Yechan gently. "You can help me by sleeping in your room and filming without NG later."
Yechan folded his arms in front of his chest, looking thoughtful. "But these few days it's always Hyung who makes NGs. You even covered your face during the rehearsal."
"YA, that's because you suddenly brought your face closer to me before the director's command," Jaehan argued, chuckling. "It can't be called a NG. It's just a rehearsal."
"Oh, Hyung can't even sit on a chair without shaking your butt first," Yechan added, laughing while glancing at Jaehan. "Ho Kyun and Siye Nuna's expressions are very funny. That counts as a NG, right?"
"Well." Jaehan shrugged. "It seems that it is indeed a NG. Well. You won. Since you're here, do you want to try listening to the melody I've made?"
Yechan's eyes brightened instantly. He nodded excitedly, stretched out his hand, to which Jaehan answered by putting the earphones in his palm. Yechan put the earphones on his ears, sitting upright while looking at Jaehan with wide eyes full of anticipation. Jaehan pressed the space bar and the sweet melody began to play.
While looking at Yechan's smiley face, Jaehan rested his chin in his palm with his elbow on the desk. He smiled, watching Yechan's eyes gleam because of the light from the table lamp as the boy looked at him. For some reason, seeing Yechan here with him while composing the song made Jaehan feel calmer.
"Hyung." Yechan took off his earphones as he looked at Jaehan respectfully. "The melody is really good. Your hard work will pay off."
"Thanks," Jaehan replied shyly, receiving the earphones from Yechan's hand. He put the earphones on the table, then moved from his chair to sit on the bed next to Yechan. He had taken a shower and put on pajamas before sitting in front of the computer, so he could go to bed immediately after his work was done. But the reality is that he was already drowsy before finishing his work. "Yechan-ah, could you wake me up after 15 minutes?"
Yechan shuffled to his feet, then sat down in Jaehan's work chair while watching his hyung lay down on the bed. Jaehan lay flat on his stomach while hugging the pillow under his head. Yechan asked cautiously, "I can wake you up. While waiting can I play on your computer?"
With his eyes closed, Jaehan snickered. "So that's the real reason you came to my room?"
In order to find a good reason to answer that question, Yechan racked his brain. As a result, he couldn't say anything and just shut his mouth.
Jaehan opened his eyes for a moment, glanced at Yechan who seemed to be thinking hard, and then giggled. "You can use the computer," Jaehan said, closing his eyes again and pressing his cheek against the pillow. He lay down with his back to Yechan. "Don't forget to wake me up in 15 minutes."
Because there was direct light on his face, Jaehan was forced to open his eyes. He realized that the light was sunlight penetrating the window glass. He was already thinking what he should say to nag Yechan when he realized that Yechan was sleeping facing him with his arms around his waist.
Anyone who saw Yechan's peaceful face at this time, will gladly agree that no one should nag him. No one will even have the intention to wake him up either.
So Jaehan closely wraps his arms around Yechan while waiting for Sebin to bulldoze his way to this room to wake them up. The boy he was waiting for came into the room 10 minutes after that, with an amused look on his face.
"If there is a pajama party, you two should be inviting me!"
