now playing: Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby - Cigarettes After Sex
- โโด๏ธห๏ฝกโโ โ
Ever since you started working at your new job, life had become a lot more exhausting than it used to be.
Working in an office full of people who were much older than you was already intimidating enough, but what made it worse was the constant feeling that you never truly belonged there. No matter how hard you tried, your coworkers rarely included you in conversations, and every day felt like a battle to prove that you deserved to be there.
Today had been especially difficult.
One coworker had spent the entire day making passive-aggressive comments, and somehow your boss had found yet another reason to criticize you in front of everyone. By the time your shift ended, you were mentally drained. You had spent most of the day fighting back tears, counting down the hours until you could finally go home.
The moment you unlocked your apartment door and stepped inside, you were greeted by the familiar warmth of home.
Sunghoon was sitting on the couch, one arm stretched across the backrest while some random show played quietly on the television. As soon as he heard the door open, he looked up, his expression softening immediately.
You didnโt even have the energy to answer properly.
Sunghoon muted the television and studied your face for a moment.
โThat bad?โ he asked.
Your shoulders immediately dropped.
โIโm so tired, Hoon.โ
Without another word, he opened his arms and that was all it took.
You practically collapsed onto the couch beside him.
The second you settled against him, his arms wrapped securely around your waist, pulling you into his chest. One hand slid into your hair while the other rubbed slow circles against your back.
โTell me everything.โ
You buried your face against his hoodie and let out a quiet sigh.
Then the words just spilled out.
You told him about your coworker, about your boss, about how alone you felt, and how every morning you woke up already dreading work before the day had even begun.
Sunghoon listened quietly the entire time. He never interrupted, never looked distracted, and never once told you that you were overreacting.
When your voice finally cracked, the tears youโd been holding back all day started falling. Immediately, his arms tightened around you.
โHey, heyโฆโ he whispered.
He pressed a gentle kiss against your forehead.
You shook your head, squeezing your eyes shut.
โIโm trying so hard and itโs still not enough.โ
โFor them, maybe.โ he murmured softly. โBut that doesnโt mean youโre not enough.โ
You closed your eyes as his words settled over you.
Sunghoon rested his cheek against the top of your head, holding you a little closer.
โYou know what I see?โ
You sniffled and looked up at him slightly.
โSomeone who wakes up every morning and keeps going even when things are difficult.โ
He pressed another kiss to your forehead.
โSomeone who works harder than anyone I know.โ
โSomeone whoโs incredibly kind.โ
His lips brushed your skin again before he smiled softly.
โAnd someone I love very much.โ
Fresh tears filled your eyes.
โThey donโt get to decide your worth, okay?โ he whispered. โSome rude coworkers and a bad boss donโt get to tell you who you are.โ
You felt yourself relaxing slightly in his embrace, and Sunghoonโs smile softened when he noticed.
A weak laugh escaped you.
โI should make dinner.โ
The second you tried to sit up, his arms tightened around your waist.
โHoon-โ you tried to stand up but his grip tightened.
You raised an eyebrow. โThatโs a lie.โ you said, knowing that he usually hates cooking.
โIโm offended.โ your boyfriend said in a playful tone.
You couldnโt help laughing. โYouโre terrible at cooking.โ
โOkay, rude.โ he answered.
โYouโre literally proving my point.โ you smiled at his answer.
Sunghoon pinched your side gently, making you flinch and laugh at the same time.
โComfortable clothes. Now.โ
You chuckled. โYes, sir.โ
He leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to your nose.
โLet me take care of you tonight.โ

While Sunghoon attempted to make dinner, you changed into one of his oversized hoodies and a pair of shorts before heading back into the kitchen.
You found him standing in front of the stove, concentrating harder than anyone should while making scrambled eggs.
Quietly, you wrapped your arms around his back from behind.
โHowโs it going?โ you asked him softly, smiling into his neck.
โDonโt distract me baby.โ
You laughed softly. โItโs just eggs.โ
โHoon, these eggs are fighting for their lives right now.โ He let out a small laugh at your comment.
You rested your chin against his shoulder, watching him work. โIt smells good.โ
Sunghoon smiled proudly without looking away from the pan.
โSee? Iโm improving.โ
A few minutes later, the two of you were sitting together at the table.
The meal wasnโt fancy, scrambled eggs, toast, a few cherry tomatoes, and leftover rice and tofu from the day before. But somehow it tasted better than most restaurant meals.
Maybe because of who made it.
Sunghoon watched you carefully while you ate. When you noticed, you pointed your fork at him.
โWhy are you staring at me?โ you asked while you covered your mouth with your hand.
โBecause youโre cute.โ he said smiling at your cute reaction.
โThatโs not an answer.โ
He laughed softly, then his expression slowly softened as he looked at you.
โI just hate seeing you sad.โ
Your heart squeezed at his words.
He reached across the table and intertwined his fingers with yours, holding them gently.
โGood?โ, you asked, chuckling softly.
You laughed under your breath.

After dinner, Sunghoon insisted on washing the dishes despite your protests.
While he took care of the mess in the kitchen you settled down on the couch and scrolled through your phone but after he disappeared into the kitchen for several minutes, you went looking for him.
Before you could say anything, two arms suddenly wrapped around your waist from behind.
โFound you.โ Sunghoon said, his grip softly tightening around you.
He rested his chin lightly on your shoulder.
He guided you toward the bathroom, still holding onto your hand. The moment the door opened, you froze.
The room was filled with the soft scent of vanilla. Warm candlelight flickered across the walls, and the bathtub was already prepared, steam gently rising from the water.
He shrugged slightly, almost shy.
He cupped your face gently, his touch warm and steady. โYou deserve nice things too, you know.โ
Your expression softened immediately.
He pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.
โTake your time and relax.โ
- โโด๏ธห๏ฝกโโ โ
After your bath, you felt lighter.
Not because your problems had disappeared, but because for the first time all day, your shoulders didnโt feel so heavy anymore.
When you stepped back into the bedroom, Sunghoon was already waiting.
He looked up from his phone and smiled softly. โThere she is.โ
You climbed onto the bed beside him, slipping under the blankets with a quiet sigh. The moment you settled in, he reached for you almost instinctively, like it was second nature.
His arm slid around your waist.
โComfortable?โ he murmured.
But apparently that still wasnโt close enough for him.
A few seconds later, he gently pulled you back until your back was pressed fully against his chest.
You let out a quiet laugh. โHoon.โ
โYouโre squeezing me.โ you laughed.
โYouโll survive.โ he answered, holding you as tight as possible.
Sunghoon's voice was already getting heavier with sleep, which only made you smile. He buried his face into the crook of your neck and let out a quiet, content sigh.
You could hear the smile in his voice even without seeing it.
Being close to you like this had always come naturally to him. Holding your hand, resting his arm around you, pulling you closer without thinking like it was the most normal thing in the world. Especially after days like this.
His fingers found yours beneath the blanket and intertwined with them.
โIโm proud of you, you know.โ
Your heart softened immediately. โFor what?โ
โFor getting through today.โ He pressed a soft kiss behind your ear. โAnd yesterday.โ Another kiss. โAnd every difficult day before that.โ
You closed your eyes, breathing a little slower now.
โYou donโt have to thank me.โ
For a while, the room fell quiet. Only your breathing and the distant city outside filled the space.
Just when you thought heโd fallen asleep, his arms tightened around you slightly.
โStill here?โ you whispered.
โMm-hm.โ he hummed softly.
โWhy arenโt you sleeping?โ
โMaking sure youโre okay first.โ
Your chest warmed. This place right here, in the arms of the person you loved the most, was your home. Not a place but a person.
Then he pulled you even closer, if that was even possible.
โThereโs literally no space between us.โ
You laughed softly. โClingy.โ
His voice was barely above a whisper now, warm, slow, already half asleep.
You turned in his arms so you were facing him. He immediately adjusted, pulling you into his chest like heโd been waiting for you to do it all along.
One hand settled in your hair, the other rested firmly on your back. His thumb moved in slow, soothing circles through your hoodie.
โMuch better.โ you whispered.
He smiled, resting his forehead gently against yours as he slowly placed his lips onto yours.
For several minutes, he just held you like that, fingers slowly brushing through your hair, sleepy kisses and his hand occasionally rubbing your back whenever you shifted.
Every touch was steady and calm, like he was trying to remind you without words that you were safe here. That you didnโt have to carry everything alone.
Eventually, your eyes began to feel heavy and of course, he noticed immediately.
His hand moved to your cheek, thumb brushing softly across your skin.
You hummed softly. โStay close.โ
His expression softened. โAlways.โ
One last kiss landed on your forehead before he gently tucked your head beneath his chin.
And even as sleep slowly took over, he didnโt let go once.
With the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath your ear and his warmth wrapped around you completely, you finally drifted off together.
