TREASURE JiKyu Oneshots

'Kind'

Jihoon was stressing a lot to finish his work, so Junkyu came to help.

*The title reminds me of 'Kind' by SHINee. Such a good song!*

Junkyu walked in the apartment he recently moved in with his husband. Unlike every day, when Jihoon opened the door for him, he didn't greet Junkyu, didn't kiss him, didn't take his heavy bag from his hand. He looked rather devastated. Hair messy, dress filled with creases and large eye bags beneath his eyes.

"Babe, you okay?" Junkyu asked. Jihoon shook his head, trying to give his husband some sort of confirmation. But it didn't convince Junkyu.

"You sure you're okay?" He asked again, following Jihoon who went to his study table. Junkyu saw Jihoon's working laptop on the table, he was working.

"You're making a presentation?" Junkyu asked. Jihoon nodded. Junkyu focused on the slide, and it seemed familiar.

"Didn't you already finish it?"

"My senior told me to redo it." Jihoon sighed. Junkyu frowned. "But isn't the meeting tomorrow?"

"Yes." Jihoon shortly replied. It made sense, why Jihoon looked so torn. The presentation was about 70 slides long. Jihoon spent days preparing it, and now, he must redo it, in a single day! Poor Jihoon must have been doing it since morning.

"How much is left?"

"Around 15 more." Jihoon replied.  Junkyu saw the empty coffee mug beside Jihoon, and how he messed up again and again. He was tired. He needed rest.

"Jihoon ah, you need some rest. Why don't you take a break first?"

"I'll finish it first." Jihoon said, shaking Junkyu's offer away.

"But babe, it's not good for you." Junkyu sounded concerned.

"I know, I didn't want it either." Jihoon sounded a little annoyed. But Junkyu still spoke, "How about I help you with it?"

"Kyu, you just came back." Jihoon steadily said, "Go and change, I can do it."

"But you're..." Junkyu sighed. He didn't wanna say Jihoon was lagging, it might hurt him.

"Go do your work, so that I can focus here." Jihoon monotonously said. Although it slightly bothered Junkyu, with a little pinch of hurt, he listened to his husband.

He took off his clothes, went to take a shower and came out in comfortable clothes. He drank water and then sat on their bed, across from Jihoon's table. He decided to go through his phone, but Jihoon's working figure kept distracting him. His eyes darted from his phone to Jihoon for a few times. He gave up. He had to go comfort his husband when the elder grabbed his hair tight and hung his head low. He was visibly stressed.

When Jihoon lifted his head and stared at the ceiling, he felt a warm presence engulfing him. A secure, warm hug around his neck, a soft sensation on his cheek. Junkyu hugged him around the neck, let his cheek touch Jihoon's. Jihoon melted in that hug.

"Babe, I know it's important, but trust me, you'll work better once you take a break." Junkyu said, in a very convincing tone. Jihoon sighed.

"You know me, Kyu. I'll keep thinking about it. I can't rest well unless I'm done."

"I know, that's why I'm offering help." Junkyu said. He slightly turned towards Jihoon, who saw his face from the corner of his eyes.

"No, you're tired, you just finished a long day at work." Jihoon said.

"Yeah, so? Can't I help my husband?"

"I don't want to bother you, Kyu."

Junkyu slowly kissed on Jihoon's neck, ended up sniffing it. "You go, get changed and take a shower. I'll see what I can do. You have the previous file saved, right?"

Junkyu let go, and pulled Jihoon up from the chair. He was still in his working clothes.

"Babe, you don't have to do this. Alright, I'll take a break first, happy now?" Jihoon asked. Junkyu didn't pay heed to that. He just pushed Jihoon to the washroom. Once Jihoon had gone away, defeated, Junkyu looked at the file Jihoon was working on.

He took a lot less than Jihoon, because unlike Jihoon, he didn't mess up. He steadily and carefully followed the pattern Jihoon created and slowly, one by one, the slides were being done. Meanwhile, Jihoon took a shower, changed into his nightwear and walked out, to go and finish the rest of the work.

"Hey, I'm back. Let me do the rest now." Jihoon said. He saw the number of slide Junkyu was working on, it was the 64th one.

"You already finished 9?" Jihoon gasped. Junkyu nodded. "Wow! I probably would have finished only 2 or 3."

"That's because you're stressing yourself out." Junkyu said, without looking away from the screen. "I'll complete it, you go and rest."

"I can do it now, babe." Jihoon insisted, "I'm all good now."

"I told you to go rest, didn't you hear that?" Junkyu scolded playfully. "Stop disturbing me, so that I can finish fast and go to your arms."

Jihoon's heart swelled up in gratitude. Junkyu was deliberately doing his work, even after working all day long. He was such a caring, helpful, kind person! Jihoon was lucky to get him as his husband. He thanked God for the one day he accidentally bumped with that weird and shy student on the first year of his uni life. Because after that, he had been glued to him, falling for him and ended up marrying him.

Jihoon didn't go to the bed. He pulled a chair and sat beside Junkyu. He wrapped his arm around Junkyu's neck, and rubbed circles on his back, to calm his mind. It actually helped. Junkyu's efficiency increased. Around 20 minutes later, he was done with the last slide. With a happy smile, he let Jihoon check the whole thing and edit here and there. It took another 10 minutes for Jihoon to fix everything. He then shut his computer down and stood up, yawning.

"Thank you, Junkyu!" He spoke. Junkyu was also stretching.

"Ahhh finally! Let's go sleep now." He said. Jihoon immediately grabbed him by the waist, his head on Junkyu's shoulder. "Why are you so kind to me?" He cutely asked.

Junkyu laughed, and pinched his nose, "Because you're my loving husband." He dragged the weight of Jihoon around him to the bed, and fell down on it with Jihoon. The elder quickly scooted up to be on the same level as Junkyu.

"I love you." He suddenly said. It did make Junkyu's heart bounce, but he still chuckled.

"Why so suddenly?"

"I just felt like saying it." Jihoon went closer to Junkyu's face, "I don't think it will ever be enough, saying it in words how much I actually love you."

Junkyu cupped Jihoon's face in his hands, "I love you too, honey." Then left a slow peck on his forehead. Jihoon smiled his contagious eye smile. Then pecked Junkyu on the lips.

"Time to sleep now." Junkyu stated, and hughed Jihoon afterwards. He was broader, hence his frame wrapped Jihoon inside really well. Although Jihoon was the dominant one, at times like this, he liked to be in Junkyu's arms, being tiny, embraced, secured.

Because he could hear Junkyu's heartbeat, smell Junkyu's fragrance and see the kind soul Junkyu had even without actually seeing it. And Junkyu, he loved holding Jihoon in, because that gave him the confirmation that this guy right in his arms was his and his only. Until death, he would have the right to claim that heart, those lips and that precious soul. The love that tied the knot for them thus grew little by little every day, wrapping them both around each other a little bit stronger.
