"Geez, I didn't know you're this.." she hesitated to pick the right word.

"Sassy? Yes, yes I am," he continued walking, leaving Y/N behind. "Be my friend and you'll know all sides of me."

"But aren't we already friends?" She caught up to him and walked alongside him, all while looking at his side profile.

"Friends won't just talk to you when passing up homework," he mentioned without looking at her. "They'd copy yours before passing it up," he added and turned to her with a side smile that showed his dimple.

[End of flashback]

You love how that night became one of the most important occurrence of your life. Dongju became more and more attached to you that at one stage, you can't just kick him out of your life even if you kick his ass.

You exited the gallery and put the phone on the side table, before continuing to groan and suffer at the period pain. It's not every month that you have to experience something like this, but when it visit, it won't go easily.

A cold watery object made contact with your cheek, making you jump at the sudden sensation. You peeked through your hair to find Dongju smiling apologetically towards you with papico ice creams in hands.

"For once, I don't want ice cream," you said weakly. "I want cuddles," the words came out of nowhere.

For as long as you're friends with Dongju, you've never been this clingy. When you realised your own mistake, you felt like digging a hole and stay there. Dongju was clearly flustered, because he seem to process those words in his head.

"Uhm.. I'll go put these in the refrigerator and come back real quick," he said quickly and you heard the door creak open and close.

"아 난 미치겠다 진짜! (I must be crazy!)" You whisper shouted while sitting up and ruffled your hair messily.

You heard Dongju's hasten steps echoing through the hallway before the door knob started to turn. You hurriedly laid down on your side, smoothing out your hair right before his shadow came into view.

"Do you want me to switch on the light or.." he hesitated to continue his words. The room was only illuminated with a night lamp, and it'd feel wrong to keep it like that.

"아니다, (never mind,) lets just cuddle," he changed his mind rather hurriedly, before you could say anything.

He climbed onto your bed behind you and swiftly slipped his arm through the space in between your neck and pillow. His other arm went around your waist, his palm on your stomach. You sucked in a breath at his action.

It was not like it's the first time he hugged you, but he had never back hugged you, not to mention being a bigger spoon on a bed. Trying to stabilise your heart rate, you decided to start a conversation.

"Why did you come here? What about the gathering?"

"Have fun when my bestie's suffering? Tempting, but no," he said without a hint of joke, but snorted when you slapped his hand.

He tighten his hold on you resulting your back to be flushed against his chest. Dongju regretted it, afraid you'd feel his fast heartbeat. However, you were busy worrying about yours to even feel his.

Thinking of ways to calm your heart, the unbearable pain came kicking in again, you didn't even notice it stopped for a while after seeing Dongju. You automatically let out a groan and clutched your lower abdomen.

"Does it still hurt? What can I do?" You knew that he was evidently panicking and worried just by his voice, it made you chuckle but that was cut by another groan.

"이 개새끼 씨, (this bij,)" he cursed under his breath in a confused and unbelievable tone. "Why are you even laughing while dying?!"

"어머 세상에 (Oh my goodness?)" You copied his tone. "개.새.끼.?" You turned your head only to be find Dongju's face at a close distance with the side of your face.

Flustered, you went back to your position and acted like nothing happened with pursed lips. You started to play with his fingers, trying to brush off any thoughts that could make you blush more than you already were.

"What do you want to do now? Cuddle to sleep?" Dongju asked out of nowhere, his voice sounded deeper.

"You're sleepy, aren't you?"

"The exams sucked all of my strength. It's a good thing that I had a reason to not go to the gathering," he said while yawning.

"Oh, so you're using me now?" You clicked your tongue.

"Hmm.." you could tell just by his response that he had drifted off to Dreamland.

"뭐야? 벌써 잤어? (What, he already slept?)" you sighed. After a few minutes, your own eyes felt droopy before following Dongju to Dreamland.

-x-x-x-x-x-

Dongju woke up to the sound of the door opening. He looked up from behind you to find your older sister at the door.

"아 동주야 미안. (I'm sorry Dongju.) I was just checking, go back to sleep," she whispered. Dongju smiled and nodded, before she closed the door.

Dongju almost couldn't feel his arm that you used as your pillow. He screamed in his head, flailing his other hand around but careful enough not to hit you. He finally got to remove it from under your neck.

"How the hell do the main character in dramas do this?!" He whisper shouted since he knows that you're a heavy sleeper.

He massaged his arm so that the blood circulation would go back to normal. Suddenly, you turned around and faced him, making him widened his eyes and held his breath. Confirming that you were not awake, he let out a relieved sigh.

His eyes went to your peaceful sleeping face, admiring your beauty. He smiled, remembering the fact that he fell in love with you at first sight back in highschool. He thought that it wasn't it, but the more time he spent with you, the more desired he became to call you his.

"Wait for me Y/N. One day, I'll gain enough courage to confess, so just wait for me," he muttered under his breath.

He was about to fell asleep again when your movement woke him up. You sat up abruptly, causing his heart to jump. The uneasy feeling arose in him as he thought that you heard him just now. He also sat up to caress your back.

"Wh-what is it, Y/N?" He cursed himself for stuttering.

"Oh, I'm sorry for waking you up. I just wanna change my sanitary pad," you sat at the edge of the bed and rubbed your face.

Dongju's hand flew to his chest to ease his aggressively beating heart. You waddled to take a pad from your drawer before making your way to the door. Dongju sensed that you stopped by the door, so he looked over.

"Dongju-ya," you turned your head to him. "Tell me beforehand that you're ready. I don't want to faint when you confess," you flashed a small smile with blushing cheeks before dashing out of the room.

Dongju blinked rapidly while processing your words. The heat went up to his cheeks, while he stared blankly at the wall across him.
