16: SLEEP BUDDY
Ethan was in a deep thinking while returning to his room
On the way back, he stumbled upon someone…
Lian St. clain
"Oh… Why are you still awake?"
Ethan Lee
"I just went to sauna with Mr. Alex… "
Says with an absent mind
Lian St. clain
"You should get some sleep… "
Stops speaking for a moment… But then again he continues
Lian St. clain
"After all you'll be tired tomorrow… "
Ethan Lee
"??"
"Ah … Sure… I'll get going… But I need to check on my friend first…"
"I didn't see him in a while…"
Lian St. clain
Puts his hand on Ethan's shoulder
Lian St. clain
"Just go back to your room… Your friend is sharing the room with me…
and he's asleep… "
Ethan Lee
"Oh… Then good night Mr. Lian"
Ethan went back to room still in a deep thinking
Ethan trudged back to his room, his mind reeling with thoughts after the unexpected encounter with Mr. Lian in the corridor.
The dim lights overhead seemed to hum in sync with the turmoil brewing inside him.
Ethan Lee
"Why did Mr. Lian have to show up now?"
Ethan Lee
Ethan wondered, his brow furrowed in frustration.
"And why is he sharing room with hart all of a sudden?"
Ethan's heart quickened as he pushed open the door to his room.
He stepped inside, the soft click of the door closing behind him echoing through the silence.
Ethan Lee
"Ughhhhh!!!!"
Frustrated yet scared for tomorrow
"Why does he mean by 'After all you'll be tired tomorrow'?"
Ethan Lee
"I don't even understand what did Mr. Alex mean…"
Ethan's eyes snapped shut, his jaw clenched in a mixture of frustration and sadness.
He knew he couldn't keep running from his past.
It was time to face the truth, no matter how painful it might be.
Lian St. clain
Looking at hart who's sleeping carelessly
Sigh
"he took up the whole space... "
Hart William
Sleeping peacefully
"ughh.... "
Hart William
Sleeping in his own room
Hart woke up from a nightmare, screaming like a cat. He tripped out of bed, face-planted, and then stomped to Ethan's room only to find the room empty. (he was in the sauna)
Hart William
"Uhhhhhhh why is he not here...
Scared due to nightmare
Hart William
"I just want to float in the air… God, I don't want to keep my feet on the land"
"What if a ghost catch me…"
😧
Hart crept into Liam's room, trying not to disturb other's peaceful slumber.
But as he gazed at Lian's serene face, he felt a pang of loneliness.
Hart William
Without hesitation, he jumped onto the bed, landing with a soft thud.
Lian St. clain
Liam's eyes snapped open, and he let out a groggy protest.
"what was that just now?"
Questions himself
Lian St. clain
"Wha...? Hart, what are you doing?!"
Hart William
Hart snuggled under the blankets, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"I don't want to sleep alone. You're my sleep buddy now."
Lian St. clain
Liam rubbed his eyes.
"You're insane, boy.
" But fine, you can stay. Just don't hog the blankets."
Hart William
"yeah buddy.. Sure"
Hart William
