━━ it was 4:00 in the morning and her boyfriend still wasn't back. micha didn't want to be a clingy girlfriend, but jiseok had promised to be back by 12:00.

the girl had fallen asleep, expecting to the feel the other next to her. but, when she woke up, there was no sign of him coming back.

micha had called twice and sent a couple messages, all with no response.

suddenly, however, the door to her bedroom opened to reveal moon jiseok, looking disheveled and beyond exhausted.

micha immediately sat up, swinging her legs to the edge of the bed. "jiseok."

"sorry, star." jiseok apologized, walking towards the girl slowly. "i-i was at the studio."

micha resisted the urge to roll her eyes. she wasn't surprised. whenever it's comeback time, jiseok was most likely slaving away in the studio or practice room.

"seok-ah, i was worried." micha said quietly, running her hands up and down the boy's arms. "you could've texted me, or-or called. you said you'd be back at twelve. it is half past four now."

"i know, i'm sorry." jiseok apologized again.

there's a lot micha wants to say. how he's not the only producer in the group, that there's kiyoko and sebastian. how he needs to learn to take a god damn break for once. "come on, let's get you freshened up." she says instead.

those are things she can say later. they're probably the last things jiseok wants to hear right now anyway.

micha stood up and walked over to her closet, to the section she assigned to her boyfriend and only her boyfriend. micha pulled out a everything he needed.

"here you go, seokie." micha said, forcing a small smile.

jiseok nodded in thanks, walking out the bedroom and to the bathroom.

once her door closed, micha flopped down on her bed with a loud groan.

"shut up!" sebastian's voice was muffled through the wall.

"sorry!" micha said. damn these thin walls. she thought.

after a couple minutes, jiseok walked back into the room, causing the girl to sit back up.

jiseok was dressed in the pajama bottoms she gave him, water dripping down his bare torso from his hair.

(jiseok could never sleep with a shirt on, only if they were filming then he would.)

"come here." micha chuckled, making grabby hands towards him.

jiseok walked towards her, handing micha the towel that was previously swung over his shoulder.

the two switched positions, so now jiseok was the one sitting and micha the one standing. micha brought the towel to his head and started drying it.

"you've always been bad at drying your hair." micha commented. "how hard could it be?"

"i personally prefer just letting it dry out." jiseok replied.

"you're going to get sick that way love." stella chided softly. "you wouldn't want that would you? it'll take you away from your work."

jiseok sighed, looking down. micha stopped her motions, looking at the boy before her.

"you can't keep doing this, jiseok." micha said. "you need to learn when to take a break."

"i'm trying, star." jiseok said. "i'm trying so hard, but i just can't and i don't know why."

micha leaned back to swing the towel over the back of her desk chair, and then pulled herself onto jiseok' slap. "seok-ah. i know it can be hard to take a break, but your this isn't healthy for you. i was really worried. i thought something happened to you. you said you were coming home at 12. it more than four hours later." micha said, tracing the snake tattoo on his collarbone.

jiseok simply squeezed her waist to show he was listening. other than that, the older remained quiet.

micha understood that jiseok struggled with talking about his feelings. micha probably shouldn't have spilled this all on him at almost five in the morning.

"i'm sorry, seok." micha murmured.

"no, im sorry." jiseok said, holding micha closer to him. "i was being a dick, and i should've told you. and i know you keep telling me to stop and i still do, which isn't fair to you."

micha kept tracing his tattoo, weighing out her choices. should micha draw this out or should micha wait until it's a reasonable hour, and not almost five in the morning?

micha chose the second option.

"let's go to sleep." micha said. "we'll properly talk about this later, okay?"

"okay." jiseok nodded.

micha climbed off his lap, and went over to her side of the bed (the one closest to the wall). she took jiseok by the arm and guided him down next to her. micha brought him down to lay on her chest and she pulled the blanket over both of them.

micha started combing his hair with her fingers, trying to soothe the boy into sleep.

"good night, moony."

"g'night star."
