Ding.
Ding.
Sleepy eyes slowly blinking at the sound, Yoongi turns his head at the dresser where he sees his phone lighting up with a text message. He contemplated whether he would bother answering it but decided whatever it was could wait in the morning.
…ding ding.
“Uuughhh.”
Stretching his hand over his head, Yoongi reached for his phone, eyes squinting at the screen. It was 2:20 am. Who the hell was messaging him at this hour?
Joonie: Yoongi-hyung?
"Aish Namjoon-ah..." Yoongi groaned while pushing himself into a sitting position. What could be the reason for texting him this early? Does he know what time is it in Korea right now? Which country is he in now anyway? Before he could continue his silent tirade however, Namjoon sent him another message.
Joonie: I need someone to talk to.
Oh.
Me: I'm awake. What's wrong, Joon?
Joonie: Sorry for waking you up.
Joonie: I just really want to talk.
Me: Why? What's wrong?
He was startled when the phone began to ring. Sighing, he hit the answer button.
“Namjoon-ah?”
“Yes. Hello, Yoongi-hyung.”
“Must be really important if your calling me at...2:30 in the morning, Namjoon-ah.”
I need a drink. Kicking the blankets, he got up and turn on the lamp and went to the kitchen.
“I'm sorry, Yoongi-hyung. It’s just…”
Flicking the lights on, Yoongi put his phone between his ear and shoulder as he pulled his fridge open. Grabbing a bottled water, he closed the fridge and propped himself against the counter, waiting for Namjoon to continue.
“Uhhh....”
Hearing the hesitation in his voice, Yoongi paused opening his bottled water.
"Joon-ah, what's wrong?"
“…I had a nightmare.”
Hmmm..
Opening the bottle, Yoongi took a long sip and put the bottle back in the fridge.
"Wanna tell me what the nightmare is about Joon?"
" Well...."
" I'm sure it wasn't that bad. When you wake up and realised it wasn't real, you go back to sleep. No need to wake up your friends about it."
" But I needed to wake you up, Yoongi-hyung."
" Why's that?"
"Because something bad happened to you and I needed to hear your voice to make sure you're okay".
Yoongi stilled. So the nightmare was about him? Something that made Namjoon so scared that he needed to hear Yoongi's voice to set his mind at ease? Sighing, he turned off the lights and went back to bed. He wrapped the covers around him setting his phone in his ear.
“What happened, Joon?”
"It's nothing, really."
“I’m curious.” He paused. “…Please?”
"Remember when you told us about your accident and hurt your shoulder?"
Yoongi held his breath. That had been a terrifying experience for him. He was lucky he didn't went under the car or else he might have suffered worse than a broken shoulder.
Namjoon had a nightmare about that? About him getting hurt? He breathed out slowly.
"I know you didn't tell the company about it. But in my dream, Bang-PD told us that you got into an accident and you didn't....."
"....…..................."
“I’m okay, Namjoon-ah. I’m fine now, right?”
“I know. I just needed to hear your voice and make sure. I was scared.”
“I know, Namjoon-ah. But I’m here.”
Yoongi hears rustling down the phone. Having a nightmare like that about your friend while you're miles away in another country must be terrifying. Why did they agree on this vacation again?
“You going to be okay?” he said softly, if only he could cuddle him right now....
“I think so. But Yoongi-hyung, if you don't mind..."
“Yeah, Joon?”
“Could you stay on line, just until I fall back asleep? Hearing your breathing is...comforting."
Yoongi smiled to himself.
“Sure, Namjoon-ah.”
Both of them ended up falling asleep. It was the most well rested sleep that they had in a long time.
