✔︎ I LOVE YOU SO • heeseung

Chapter 35

March 17th.

11:02 pm

You smiled warmly to me as soon as you opened the door,

but if I wasn't waiting for you for an hour by now,

I wouldn't be able to see the frown you quickly hid from me.

Did something bad happen at work?

I was a little sceptical,

but I chose to ignore these worries for a while.

Your dark eye bags were prominent,

you were very tired, Heeseung, and there's no denying it.

I walked towards you, planting a soft kiss on your lips.

"How's work baby?" I asked with a soft voice as I helped you remove your coat.

"Good, just... tiring."

Then your body almost fell on top of me as you embraced my relatively smaller figure.

That pause of hesitation...

I know there's something wrong,

I know you're going through something.

But what you need right now is not an interrogation,

you need your home,

you need some rest,

you need me.

I will be your home to rest on.

I broke the warm embrace, and cupped your precious face.

"I'll heat the food, you can go wash up and I'll just take the food to our bedroom."

I smiled before pecking your lips again.

but just as I was about to turn my heels towards the kitchen,

I was pulled again into your arms.

"Rae Rae..." You called with need.

"Can we just... sleep?"

You asked, a pleading tone evident through your voice.

You asked with four words, but I know it meant so much more.

"Okay, okay. let's just sleep." I smiled,

Though anxiousness seeped right through me.

And so, we head towards our bedroom.

The way you threw your body over the mattress made me almost think that you've fainted.

A worried frown can't help but crack up from the smile I've been putting up in order to make you more comfortable.

Is this how tired you are?

Poor you,

If only I could get rid of that exhaustion from you.

I climbed up to the bed and beside you.

And with much longing, you pulled me by my waist and settled your face right above my chest,

where you sleep peacefully, subconsciously snuggling closer and closer until there's no more space between us.

With your legs tangled into mine,

and your little snores heard,

I ran my hand through your soft brown and slightly curly hair.

You always love it when I play with your hair,

and when I draw small circles on your skin using my finger,

So, I always do them.

A smile finally settled on your tired face.

The sight of you easing up to my arms was relieving.

With your eyes closed like a feather,

every breath you take meets my skin and gives me goosebumps everywhere.

Even so,

I tried to not squirm on your grip and wake you up.

and before I could even realise,

I was yawning, and also closing my eyes.

Lee Heeseung,

I love you.

And I'd absolutely do anything just to make you happy.
