Warning: un-betaed

There's only one thing, or person, that keeps me awake at nights when everyone else is already sleeping. He keeps coming into my mind every time I roll onto my other side, trying to sleep. But still I always find myself thinking about him.

If he had a bad day, I can't help wondering what caused it. And what could have I done to make him feel better, to make him smile again. To smile that bright smile and laugh his laugh that no one can resist.

When he's smiling, I smile too. When he's laughing, I laugh too. When he's quiet and sleepy or down I feel the same way too. I don't want to see him like that. I want to see him happy.

We have known each other for a while now. We've been pretty good friends. I've been having this crush on him every since I saw him for the first time. But it has only gotten stronger now, after he asked me out for a walk with him a few days ago.

We just walked around and talked. Actually he talked and I laughed. I feel so… free when I'm with him. I don't have to be anyone else than myself. I hope it's a good thing that I don't have to be in the shell I usually am. I hope he likes the way I am.

I sometimes catch him looking in my direction. I'm not sure if he's looking at me but at least in my direction. It makes me feel like I had butterflies in my stomach but at the same time I'd like to know if he's really looking at me and what's going in his mind. Or is he looking at my friend that I usually hang out with?

There are some things I can't explain, not to myself nor anyone else. He's been asking me things that I might not even know. He could always ask them from my friend or his own friends that are much better at things than me but still he often asks me. And he usually has pastilles that people 'rob' from him but I've never dared to do so. I haven't even asked for them. And then, when we were on a walk, he offered me some. And not only once.

The other thing that I can't explain is, for instance, that he won't really come close to me. Sure we walked side by side when we were on a walk but there was always a little bit too big distance between us, in my opinion.

Every night I find myself thinking about these things when others are asleep. I keep on rolling in my bed and trying to sleep, only seeing him in my mind. I hope there would be something I could do but I don't have the courage. I hope he would do something first.

The door of my room opens silently. It's totally dark in the apartment but even in the dark I recognize the familiar figure, that I've been dreaming of, at the doorway. The person that is the reason why I feel so tired all the time but still happy every time I can be in the same space with him. So close to him but still so far away.

"Donghae-ah, I can't sleep." He whispers and walks closer to my bed. I'm out of breath and totally speechless. "Can I sleep next to you?" He asks.

I can only move closer to the wall and lift the blanket, making some space for him. I'm sure he smiles but because of the darkness I can't see it.

Now that I have him here, next to me, close to me, I can sleep. He places his hand over my waist and pulls himself closer to me. I can feel the warmth of his body and it makes my heart flutter.

"Good night, Donghae-ah." He mumbles, half asleep already.
