[team 4] morning

just something short and random but didn't want to skip.

Baekhyun centric, G, 467 words


Self-care is waking up without an alarm on the weekend. It’s a small thing, but still something Baekhyun hasn’t been able to or hasn’t allowed himself to have lately. So when he sleepily opens his eyes on that Saturday morning and knows that no matter the time, he doesn’t have to be anywhere or do anything special, it feels blissful. He could just drift back to sleep.


However, Baekhyun realizes he doesn’t feel that sleepy anymore, so he blinks his eyes in the brightness of the room. Usually he would always reach for his phone upon waking up and check his social media accounts, news and possible messages. But not today. He lets the phone be and just lies there, appreciating the rare and peaceful moment.


He also lets his eyes wander around the room, over the foreign structures that remind him that he’s not home. He turns to his side on the futon. It’s been over two months already, but at times he still has to have these intentional reality checks. And now is one of those moments when his new reality just sweeps over him like an invisible wave in the silent room, leaving him a bit awestruck but also content. He’s not that homesick anymore.


Baekhyun breathes in the mild, grassy scent of the tatami floor, which he's come to like a lot lately. He looks over at the balcony door and the strip of sunlight that sneaks in between the curtains. It's so quiet, with occasional hum of a car or muffled steps passing by the house. Baekhyun likes the quietness, even though he’s in the middle of a huge city. He likes that the bustling city and its people are living and moving outside non-stop, while he can stay inside under the covers and not bother about anything today.


Baekhyun moves the cover away a bit, enjoying the fact that he’s not freezing instantly. The temperature inside is perfect right now; the short period in spring when neither the heater nor the air-conditioner are needed, which he’s told he should appreciate, especially in an older house like this one. And he does. He’s trying to appreciate the overall moment as well as he can, since he’s usually too busy to do that. He definitely needs less stress and hurrying and more lazy mornings like this.


Baekhyun hears the covers rustling behind him and feels a body pressing closer to him. More rustling, and a hand sneaks its way around his waist under the covers. Baekhyun smiles and peeks over his shoulder a bit.


“Are you awake?”


He gets a low, negative sounding hum as an answer. Not surprising.


Baekhyun shuffles a bit to get more comfortable and searches Chanyeol’s hand under the cover, linking their fingers.


They can sleep a bit more.
