In the middle of the night, Ara stretched and got up to use the bathroom.  On her way back to her room, she could hear soft music coming from her brother's room.  What are they up to?  She thought.  If I know my brother, they are probably playing video games.  She opened the door determined to catch them and make them go to sleep. 

"Oh," she said catching sight of Yoongi by the light of the computer monitor.  He turned to look at her with sleepy eyes. "Yoongi, Why are you up?" She asked getting closer.

"I have to do this essay before class tomorrow," he said in a sleepy voice suppressing a yawn

"I have to do this essay before class tomorrow," he said in a sleepy voice suppressing a yawn.  

"Why did you leave it for so late?"

"Dawon was using the computer.  I only just started on it about an hour ago."

"Oh, where is he?"

"He went to his friend's house to use his computer so I could work on mine."

"I see.  Is there anything I can do to help you," she said her sleepy eyes meeting his. 

"Nah, well... maybe some coffee would be nice," his little face had a pleading smile that was too cute.

"Okay... I'll go make you some."  

Although she longed to go back to sleep, she went to make him the coffee making sure to be quiet and not wake her mom that was already sleeping soundly

Although she longed to go back to sleep, she went to make him the coffee making sure to be quiet and not wake her mom that was already sleeping soundly.  When she got back in the room, Yoongi was typing giving all his concentration to his work.  She marveled at how diligent he was not giving up cause it was so late.  She handed him the hot coffee and sat on the bed watching him.  He would pause to think, his eyes looking up as he played with his hair.  That simple act just made her melt. 

I believe that was the moment I fell in love with you.  

The coolness of the room was drawing her to his warmth as she watched him work

The coolness of the room was drawing her to his warmth as she watched him work.  The affection she felt startling her, with the soft music playing, and words of love dancing in her head, her tears started to fall.  Was it the lack of sleep or unexpected feelings?  She wiped the happy tears from her face cause she didn't want him to see it and stop working. 

Yoongi glanced at her every now and then giving her a sweet little smile that rewarded her for staying, not that she ever wanted to leave his side.  

Something was pulling her soul to his.  She wanted him to finish typing so she could hug him close.  She stared at his pretty neck that she so longed to kiss.  His cute little pout when he couldn't think of what to write and the way his cute eyes searched for the answer was delightful to watch. He was the most adorable human being she had ever met.

Thinking of his lips on hers, she drifted off to sleep in his bed.  After a while, she felt the bed shift with his weight. 

"Ara," he said softly, the low hum of his voice waking her.  

She looked up at his eyes. "Are you finished?"

"Yes, thanks to you, I didn't give up.  I want to do well so you'll be proud of me."

His words made her smile.  "I'm proud of you," she said punctuating each word with a nod of her head.

"You're so cute," he said giggling. He gave her a beautiful gummy smile that she found so endearing as he put his arms around her.  "Sleep with me tonight," he said laying his head on the pillow.  He touched her cheek gently and she closed her eyes snuggling up to him.  He felt safe and warm and loved and they both drifted off to sleep.
