Kim Dokja stared at the dark screen in front of him. Currently, he was having a mini mental breakdown because his phone had died while he was in the middle of reading a novel.
Kim Dokja sat up, looking at the table across his room. After only a moment of contemplation, he placed his bare feet on the cold floor and quickly took his tablet before returning to the warmth of his bed. Leaving his phone charged on the bedside table, Kim Dokja opened the tablet and searched up the novel and went back to reading.
Kim Dokja was immersed in the novel, maybe too much since he didn't notice the figure that had opened his bedroom door and currently stood in front of him.
Kim Dokja rubbed his eyes, his vision getting hazy with sleep, but continued reading despite his entire body begging him not to. Unexpectedly, his vision suddenly turned dark, losing the light from the tablet.
Glancing up, his eyes struggled to adjust to the lack of light before he saw the outline of the person that took the tablet. His body shot up into a sitting position once his brain registered the familiar shadow.
"Yoo Joonghyuk?" Kim Dokja said, voice raspy after not using it for so long. "What are you doing?"
"I should be the one to ask you that," Kim Dokja couldn't see his face but he knew Yoo Joonghyuk adorned his signature frown. "Why are you awake?"
"I was reading, obviously," Kim Dokja rolled his eyes, hands stretching out to take his table back and frowning when You Joonghyuk stretched his arms out of Kim Dokja's reach. "Give it back."
"No. It's 3 in the morning. Go to sleep." Yoo Joonghyuk took big steps and went to put the tablet back on the table before coming back to stand in front of Kim Dokja. "You have class tomorrow."
"I was just going to finish another chapter." Kim Dokja grumbled.
"Finish it tomorrow," Yoo Joonghyuk reached out and smoothened Kim Dokja's hair. "Go to sleep."
Kim Dokja yawned, his sleepiness catching up once the initial confusion was gone. "I wasn't bothering you, it's none of your business."
Despite saying that, Kim Dokja moved to the other side of the bed, motioning for Yoo Joonghyuk to join him in the bed and the other did nothing but oblige.
Kim Dokja rested his head on the other's shoulder, closing his eyes and enjoying the familiarity of being in Yoo Joonghyuk's arms.
Two years ago, Kim Dokja wouldn't have even imagined that this scenario would ever happen, much more that it would happen more than once.
Kim Dokja knew he would have given everything up for Yoo Joonghyuk the moment he saw the brooding figure in the garden of his campus.
A year and many coincidentally(and some strategically planned) meetings later, Kim Dokja had ended up confessing to the younger man. Kim Dokja did it just to get it off his chest, so of course he didn't think that Yoo Joonghyuk had also felt the same way for him.
Earlier that year, when they had recently started their new year in university, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk had coincidentally been placed in the same dorm room. They'd gotten closer, of course, but they didn't really get along well, so of course Kim Dokja was surprised when Yoo Joonghyuk admitted that he'd felt the same way for Kim Dokja as Kim Dokja felt for him.
A year had passed and they were still in a happy and mutual relationship. However,despite being dormmates, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk still slept in separate rooms and beds. Of course, certain situations had ended with them sleeping together. One such as this.
Yoo Joonghyuk subconsciously fiddle with Kim Dokja's fingers as the other wordlessly leaned against his shoulder.
"Sleep properly," Yoo Joonghyuk suddenly said after a few moments of silence. "You'll hurt your neck like this."
"Mm," Kim Dokja simply hummed, sliding his body down to lie in the bed. Yoo Joonghyuk wordlessly followed him.
Yoo Joonghyuk turned his head to look at his boyfriend, eyes filled with endearment. If Kim Dokja had opened his eyes, he would have felt as though he was carrying the world with how Yoo Joonghyuk looked at him.
After a few minutes of silence, Kim Dokja's breath evened out as he had fallen asleep. Yoo Joonghyuk smiled and let himself fall into the kingdom of dreams too.
The next morning, Kim Dokja opened his eyes, blinking away the blurriness. He expected to see the same white ceiling, but was instead greeted by the familiar face of his beloved partner.
Yoo Joonghyuk, who had woken up a few minutes ago, quietly greeted the boy in his arms, his voice sounding deeper than usual due to sleep..
"Good morning, dearest."
"Mm," Kim Dokja hummed and stretched his limbs before pressing a kiss to the other man's lips. "Good morning."
Kim Dokja had a thought in his mind, one that Yoo Joonghyuk wouldn't approve of; 'if I can wake up like this, should I sleep late more often?'
Perhaps Kim Dokja should just ask his boyfriend to move into his room instead.
