Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

“Hyung, I can’t sleep.” You pouted, and I felt the bed dip beside me, as I openly welcomed you under my covers. I flash you one of my signature smiles, and you cuddled under the covers. I tried to make it seem like I was at ease; but my heart wasn’t. It fluttered around, and I tried to go back to sleep, but somehow I just couldn’t. I felt like I had to keep watch over you, to protect you while you slept. My eyes rested warily outside the window, as I stared at the twinkling stars outside. I wondered if you ever thought about me, if you ever dream about me, if there was ever a chance that you would see me the way I see you. But I knew it was hopeless. I clutched the edge of my blanket in anxiety, and eventually, sleep found me.

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

A smile found its way on my lips, and I haven’t found myself truly this happy since that day I met you. No wonder, because the scene was replaying itself right in front of me. You smiled in my direction and shyly introduced yourself, feeling a feeling of achievement in yourself as you presented yourself to the leader. I, in turn, smiled back, and ruffled your hair. Back then, you didn’t know how much effort I had to put in that simple hair ruffling action. My stomach was full of fleeting butterflies, it felt like I was going to implode. What I didn’t know, was that in actuality, my hands had found their way around your waist, pulling you even closer to me. I awoke the next day with that realization, and a blush crept up my face. I was glad that you were still sleeping, and slowly, I unwrapped my arms around you.

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

“Hyung, I like some person…”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. He’s nice, sweet, caring. B-but, I don’t know if he would ever like me this way…”

He? “I’m sure he will. What’s not to like?” I flashed you a reassuring smile, and patted your head.

“You really think so, hyung?!” You asked eagerly, looking into my eyes.

A part of me wanted to say no. I wanted to keep hoping that I would always be the only one looking out for you. But a bigger part of me knew that your happiness was more important than mine. I’ve gone through all this pain from just watching you, cursing myself for how I can’t say those three magic words. I would survive. “I know so.” I flashed you a halfhearted smile, before I excused myself.

The pain overwhelmed me, even more than it ever had before. It was too much; it was suffocating. I let it all out in a desperate sob by myself, in that dark corner I knew no one will ever find me in.

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you

You kept plaguing me with a million questions, you kept flooding me with your insecurities about this one sided love of yours. Had you ever stopped to think about how I felt? Had you ever considered that maybe I felt something for you? But I kept my selfish thoughts in, and silently listened to you, nodding my head as you babbled along. I didn’t care that my heart was breaking. All I wanted was for you to be happy.

“Hyung…why don’t you just tell him?”

“Tell who what?” I looked at Minho, puzzled.

“Tell Taemin that you like him.” He said bluntly.

I almost choked on my orange juice, and I took a while to recover myself. “Y-you know?”

Minho nodded, but said nothing more. “You really have nothing to lose. You’re already hurt, right? And bottling up your feelings for Taemin like that can’t be healthy. Besides, think of it as a little get back to try and make him feel bad.” Minho smirked.

“I-I don’t want to make him feel bad…”

“I was kidding, hyung. But really, do tell him.”

He left, leaving me by myself, confused with all these new thoughts in my head. Confess to Taemin? The thought hadn’t even slipped in my head before Minho mentioned it. What was the point, anyways? It wasn’t like it was going to change anything. But it’s worth a try… Perhaps if I told him, this seemingly large burden on my chest would disappear. All I needed now was enough courage to tell you. It wasn’t easy for someone who’s never said it before.

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

A few days passed by, and I had been so afraid of sleeping. I was afraid that I would dream of you again. But even if I didn’t dream of you at night, you constantly appeared in my daydreams. I was like the walking dead. My eyes were bloodshot from my lack of sleep, and I walked around slowly, and barely talked to anyone. Everyone tried to console me, but I refused to tell anyone what was wrong. They didn’t need to know. No one needed to know. I knew I would get over all of this soon enough.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Another sleepless night haunted me, and I sat on one of the stools by the kitchen counter, staring at that clock, waiting for time to tick by slowly. I heard someone walk up behind me, but I didn’t even bother to look anymore.
“H-hyung. Why are you like this? Please tell me what’s wrong…” You were the one standing there, crying. I couldn’t believe that you would actually shed tears for me. I was touched that you cared for me. But the sight of you crying because of me didn’t make me feel any better.

“It’s nothing. Please don’t cry.” I stood up, wiping your tears away. “Please don’t cry.” I frowned, and I almost felt like crying myself, if only I wasn’t dried up already.

“Hyung, remember that person I told you that I liked? I told him “Hyung, I love you.”” He smiled at me through his tears.

I was trying to control the wild thumping of my heart. With all the damage it had already taken, I was surprised to see that it could still do that. I curled up my fists in anger, and the pain just built up even more inside of me. “Oh, really? When did you tell him?”

“Just now.”

I looked up at him with disbelief in my eyes, but his look was so sincere, and so pure, that I couldn’t help but believe him. “T-taemin, I-“

“Hyung, I’m sorry. I should have told you in the first place. And I don’t care if you won’t accept my feelings. I completely understand. I-“

But I cut him off, as I tiptoed a bit and landed my lips upon his. I wrapped my arms around his neck to try and keep myself up, and tears started spilling from my eyes. Tears of happiness. I pulled away from him and looked him in the eye, and I felt happier than the first time I met him, or that time where I dreamt of you endlessly. There were no words to describe exactly how happy I was at that moment, so we both just basked in the joyous silence. Even without words, our mere smiles, and the looks we gave each other was enough to convey our feelings.

“Hyung, do you want to go back to the bedroom and sleep? You need some sleep hyung, sleep!”

I nodded eagerly as I let you pull my hand towards the bedroom. Never let me go, Taemin. Never let go…

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...

Once again, we were under my covers, snuggled comfortably against each other. But all my insecurities had faded away. I laced my hand in yours and smiled, as you buried your head in my chest. I kissed your forehead as you yawned, and slowly closed your eyelids.
With a smile, I let my eyelids slide down too, and dreamt once more.

Let’s dream together, Taemin. Forever.
