chaewon shivered as the cold breeze tickled her skin as she stepped out of the van, her arms instinctively wrapping around herself to try to keep warm as her jacket did nothing to keep the cold air at bay. squinting her eyes, she scanned the building in front of her before turning around to watch the rest of the members exit the vehicle.
"why is it so cold?" eunchae whined, scooting closer to sakura, who quickly wrapped the maknae in an embrace to keep the two of them warm.
"oh my god." yunjin breathed out, rubbing her own arms to combat the chill that was clinging to her skin. kazuha quickly followed the american, but when she saw sakura and eunchae, she squeezed herself into sakura's embrace.
chaewon frowned as she watched the still open door, her patience running thin when the last remaining member didn't appear as she expected, her members' constant complaining falling on deaf ears.
"y/n?" chaewon called out, a worried expression on her face, and was about to climb back inside when you finally came out.
when you collided with her, everyone screamed in terror as chaewon's foot slipped off the vehicle. the leader yelped and braced herself for the impact, but instead she felt an arm wrap around her waist and a quick tug. she let out another yelp as she clutched your hoodie, her eyes wide as she looked into your sleepy but worried eyes.
"i'm sorry, unnie. are you okay?" you queried, your voice slightly husky from sleeping on sakura's shoulder the entire trip.
warmth, which she had been missing, quickly filled her body as she tried to calm her racing heart against her ribcage, her grip on you tightening at the same time yours around her waist tightened due to her lack of response. chaewon heard the camera clicks and side-eyed the other members, who were all trying to keep their squeals in check as they took pictures and possibly even videos, then looked up at your barely open eyes, the cold definitely making you drowsier.
chaewon smiled softly, her eyes softening in adoration as she looked at you. "i'm okay, y/n/n. come on, let's go so we can get you to bed, yeah?"
you nodded sleepily and unwrapped your arm from around the form of your leader, causing the shorter girl to frown at the lack of warmth.
she wasn't sure where she got her sudden courage, whether it was because you were sleepy and she was sure you wouldn't notice, or because the cold was making her shiver and desperate for someone's warmth, specifically yours.
chaewon took your hand in hers, intertwining your fingers to feel your familiar warmth spread quickly through her body, and dragged you inside the hotel, giving the members a look that made them quickly hide their phones and push back the squeal that threatened to spill as they ran after the two of you.
you followed the shorter girl mindlessly, your eyelids dropping every now and then but forcing them up whenever you felt chaewon's hand gently squeeze yours. you waited quietly with the girls while your manager spoke to the receptionist, resting your forehead against the back of chaewon's head, causing the older one to drop her conversation with yunjin, who chuckled audibly due to the leader's whipped actions, but the american quickly turned around to join the others because of the hard glare she received.
"y/n." chaewon murmured as she reached behind her with her other free hand to pat your hip, drawing your attention.
you hummed in response. "unnie?"
chaewon chuckled. "you've been sleeping this whole time, y/n-ah. how are you still sleepy right now?"
"tired, unnie~" you whined quietly, tugging on her hand, causing chaewon's chest to swell with adoration.
the leader went quiet and let you lean against her, but her mind was racing with thoughts as she panicked because of you, while simultaneously yelling at her heart to slow down.
soon after, the manager arrived to hand over the keys. "partner up and go to your rooms. rest up, we have a long day tomorrow."
chaewon watched as the others partnered up, yunjin dragging kazuha to the elevator with her and sakura gently leading their maknae right behind them. the leader squeezed your hand, and you returned the action while humming.
"come on, we're roommates tonight." chaewon giggled, raising her hand in the air to show you the key, which jiggled lightly.
"well, that's unfortunate."
chaewon turned to face you, glaring up at you, and you simply grinned at her fuming face, the angry red color rising from her neck up to her face. as she watched the playful glint swim in your drowsy eyes, the other girl could tell you were only joking. besides, she knew that out of everyone in the group, you preferred rooming with her. that doesn't mean her anger issues won't surface.
"i'm just kidding, unnie." you laughed happily.
you had to drag the cute angry leader to the elevator because she didn't want to leave her spot just to stare at you. you were amused inside the elevator as chaewon stood facing you, arms crossed and brow furrowed deeply, her eyes seemingly burning holes into your forehead with how hard she was staring at you.
"yah, you teased her again, didn't you?" yunjin cackled from behind you as eunchae laughed at you.
you stifled a quiet laugh. "of course, i did."
you let out another amused chuckle as her brow twitched slightly, but you caught it because your eyes were on her face, trying to memorize her cute angry features in your head, eyes bouncing all over her face to scan every single small detail.
"don't be too hard on her, y/n-ah." sakura said lightly, catching kazuha's teasing look, which chaewon scrunched her nose at.
because your assigned shared room with chaewon was on the other side of the hall, you stepped out of the elevator and parted ways with the other members. you led the way quietly, feeling your leader's glare on your back, which you ignored for the time being as you reached the room. you opened the door for your leader, and you noticed her eyes soften briefly as she walked past you before her glare returned full force.
you followed her inside, laughing, and placed your belongings next to chaewon's bag. you were quick to return to the bed, which was the only one in the room that you had overlooked. chaewon, nervous, stared at the bed you haphazardly sat on. it was large enough to accommodate both of you, but not so large that your skin would come into contact with each other later on.
"y/n?" chaewon's voice shook lightly as she called out your name, swallowing the lump in her throat as she realized she sounded a little too nervous.
"hm?"
"there's only one bed."
you struggled to open your eyes as you sat up and looked around the room. chaewon stood there watching you, one hand on her other arm, rubbing her skin nervously. you looked at her and noticed her nervously shuffling around, but you ignored it and shrugged.
"we'll share the bed." you shrugged nonchalantly, and chaewon's ears turned red with embarrassment, mentally cursing you out for being so casual about the subject.
the short-haired girl pointed to the couch. "i'll sleep on the couch."
you raised a brow, ignoring the ache in your chest. you had no problem sleeping in the same bed as her and assumed chaewon was fine with sleeping next to you on a bed, but it appears you were mistaken. your brow furrowed in disappointment and sadness as you watched your leader walk to the couch, your lips ajar.
"ah, do you not want to sleep next to me?"
chaewon's neck snapped as she turned her head to look at you, panic setting in as she saw your pinched expression. she went to explain, panickily waving her hands in the air, but you were already on your feet.
"i'll take the couch, unnie." you said weakly, suddenly more tired than before.
"no. yah, yah. yah, y/n-ah."
chaewon followed you as you made your way to the couch, panicking. her panicked incomprehensible explanation, however, fell on deaf ears as you quickly sat down on the couch, unwilling to hear whatever your leader had to say.
"yah, stop." as you turned away from her, chaewon whined lightly and her shoulders sagged in defeat.
as the silence stretched for a few more minutes, you assumed chaewon had left to fix her things or settle down on the bed. during those silent minutes, you were slowly drifting away from consciousness when you felt a weight on top of you and jerked slightly away in shock as a body squeezed in your crossed arms.
"chaewon unnie? what are you doing?" you asked, brows furrowed in confusion.
chaewon shifted around, cursing, and quietly apologized when you hissed in pain from her accidentally crushing your arm beneath her. you leaned back to look at her irritated expression, a familiar pink tint spreading across your cheeks as she reached around your neck and rested her arms on your shoulders.
"i'm going to sleep with you." chaewon grumbled, her gaze flitting down to your lips before returning it to your confused sleepy eyes, clearing her throat in embarrassment.
"the bed is bigger—"
when her eyes became harder, your eyes widened, and the frown that formed on her brow seemed to be permanent due to how hard she was glaring. chaewon never liked making eye contact with you because it made her feel giddy, but she was guilty of making you sad, so she was going to prove something to you.
"i'm. sleeping. with. you." chaewon stated, emphasizing each word to get you to shut up, which you did.
it was your turn to avoid her gaze this time, and you chose to pull her closer to you so you could hide your red face in her short hair. Your heart was racing so fast that you were afraid chaewon would hear it, but chaewon was preoccupied with her own heart racing nonstop for you because of the way you held her so securely and tightly in your arms.
chaewon's fingers played with your hair to distract herself, which you soon found comfort in as she combed your hair with her fingers, sometimes gently scratching your scalp to coax you to sleep. chaewon noticed how your grip on her loosened as you drifted off to sleep, and when it finally did, she drew back to stare at you.
your features were peaceful and content as you slept silently in her embrace, and she reached for your face, fingers gently tracing your soft skin and smiling as she felt the familiar warmth within her again. she sighed and rested her brow against yours, staring at your ajar lips as her fingertips caressed your jaw, tempted to fill the space in between like a puzzle.
chaewon always felt it, the warmth across her chest and the butterflies in her stomach, whenever you were close, when she was with you, when you touched her or did something for her, and just because of you in general.
however, chaewon couldn't do anything about it. she did not act on her emotions. she has been dropping hints ever since she discovered her feelings for you, which she initially thought she would find difficult to accept. but because it was you, who she harbored feelings for, she was quick to accept it.
she remained silent and never expressed her feelings for you aloud. although the other members were aware of it because she was so obvious, everyone, including the staff, was surprised you hadn't picked up on her painfully obvious admiration yet.
chaewon sighed softly and looked at you, her eyes filled with pain. "i like you, you know? my god. i like you so much and you don't even know."
as she finally let go of the words she had been hoping to tell you, the heavy weight on her chest was lifted. unfortunately, it has to be like this while you sleep, but it was somewhat relieving because she didn't have to face rejection.
"you are such an idiot. how come you never noticed my hints?" chaewon grumbled.
the leader waited for a response, but sighed when she realized you were sleeping. she wanted to cry right then and there, but she couldn't let go, so she tried to relax in your embrace.
her gaze bounced all over your face, eyes frequently finding your lips, but she forced her gaze away every time to avoid being tempted to place hers on yours. chaewon could feel the steady rising and falling of your chest as your calm breathing mingled with hers.
your warmth and the promise of safety you unconsciously extended to everyone around you, particularly her, wrapped around her like a protective blanket against the harsh world.
chaewon was brought back to reality as your voice filled the silent room, just as she was about to fall asleep.
"i did."
chaewon's body tensed, and her initial ministrations on your face and hair came to an abrupt halt. she watched as you slowly opened your eyes and met hers with a comforting gaze. your face warmed up as you processed her sudden confession, and your grip on her tightened once more, refusing to let the small girl escape the confrontation.
"i noticed and i know." you murmured.
"you heard all that?" chaewon inquired, tears welling up in her eyes as she braced herself for rejection.
you hummed. "you should really double-check to see if the person you're confessing to is awake, you know?"
chaewon averted her gaze and gulped to calm her racing heart. she remained silent and frozen there, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape the room, especially you, because even if she did, your long arms would simply wrap around her again.
you watched as the leader tried to blink away her tears, but it only caused a few tears to fall down her cheeks, which you wiped away. you didn't like seeing your members cry, and your heart would hurt even more if chaewon shed even a single tear.
"well?" chaewon returned your gaze, her voice trembling as she grasped your wrist.
"well?" you echoed, smiling teasingly. "well, what?"
"well, what?" she replied in annoyance, but the undeniable curl of her lips said otherwise. you watched her smile, your gaze fixed on her lips, and remembered the sensation of her soft touch against the skin beneath your lips.
you chuckled at the memory. "well, if you won't do it, i will."
chaewon looked perplexed at this. your leader stared at you, lost for words, and you could tell there was no single thought behind those innocent eyes, causing you to laugh in delight. you couldn't stand it any longer, so you gently grasped her chin between your thumb and pointer finger and leaned in to take her lower lip between yours.
chaewon flushed red as sparks flew all around her, but her ears blocked out all noise as her senses tried to process the soft caress of your lips. her hands fell to your shoulders and she gripped you, her nails digging into your skin and making you scrunch your nose in pain, but you ignored it.
chaewon finally responded to your small kisses a second later, and her eyes closed, causing previously sad but now happy tears to fall. when you tasted the salt of her happy tears on your lips, you reached for her cheek and wiped them away. your thumb caressed the skin under her eye, and she sighed against your lips.
you chuckled and pulled away, silently watching her as she composed herself. chaewon opened her eyes and saw you staring softly at her, which made her blush. she hid her face as she felt it turning pink, but you pushed her chin up.
"don't hide, unnie." you whispered with a small smile.
chaewon smiled shyly. "you like me, too?"
"i do. i like you."
instead, she hid herself in your embrace, pressing her face into the crook of your neck, and you laughed. for a brief moment, you both fell silent, and chaewon could finally feel and hear your heart beat against your cage whenever her fingertips brushed against your neck. chaewon wrapped her arms around you tighter and relaxed with you, but she did pay attention when you decided to break the comfortable silence.
"i like rooming with you, by the way." you informed her, causing chaewon to chuckle at the way your chest vibrated as you laughed with her.
chaewon pulled away to look at you, her nose scrunched up cutely as she took your face in her hands. "i like sleeping next to you."
you hummed. "do you know where it's more comfortable to sleep together?"
chaewon laughed as you rose from the couch, took her hands in yours, and led her to the bed while wiggling your brows at her. your leader swatted at you, but allowed you to lead her back to the abandoned bed, falling back with her on top of you.
"i can think of someone more comfortable to sleep on." chaewon smiled down at you, her fingers pinching and stretching your cheeks.
you hummed. "yeah? who?"
"you." chaewon replied and leaned down to plant a small kiss on your lips, causing you to smile and reach up to chase her and kiss her chin as she leaned back up.
"you know who i like?"
chaewon giggled giddily. "who?"
"you."
