HEMP ROPE

5. One in the morning.

Team rolled back and forth, unable to sleep. He played with his cellphone and ended up tweeting.

 

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

Can't sleep.

 

Then, he checked out online community boards until his cellphone buzzed. "Who replied to my tweet?" It was so late, he wasn't expecting any response.

Had too many Lay's?

 

Team's eyebrow twitched, lifting his face to the ceiling as if he could see through the upper floor.

 

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

Irrelevant? Sleepy! But I can't sleep, I'm frustrated!

This time, a reply came before Team could close the app.

 

Pooh bear mask @winniethepool

Tomorrow we have morning training. You'd be doomed if you can't sleep.

 

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

So do you? You can't sleep too?

 

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

Yeah, / can't sleep too.

 

Team blurted out, laughing. Alas, he's no better.

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

 

Why not? No one to hold, Hia?

He teased the vice president, known for being a Casanova.

 

Pooh bear mask @winniethepool

Yeah! Can't sleep because I've got no one to hold.

 

Heartbreaker @TeamTeera

Then find one.

 

Pooh bear mask @winniethepool

On it. 

 

With that, Team put away his phone, too lazy to bicker. He curled up on his bed, trying to sleep again, but it was pointless; no use.

 

Knock knock. 

 

The knock startled him. He cursed, pretending not to hear it, but it got loud to the point he had to answer it with exasperation clear on his face.

 

"Thought you'd go look for someone to hold."

 

A visitor waggled his brows when the rascal chided him as soon as he opened his door, like he knew it was Win. He chuckled and teased. "Here I am," Win leaned in, "looking for someone to hold."

P.S.

Choices

  1. Win got kneed in the stomach.
  2. Win got a door slammed shut right in his face.
  3. Win got a curse: "Fuck you."
  4. Win got someone to hold.
