Your apartment door closed behind you with a 'thunk'. With a noise somewhere between a sigh and a groan, you eased your heavy work bag off of your shoulder and tried to force the tense muscles of your back to relax.

It had been another long day of rushing to meetings, juggling assignment deadlines, and floundering in what seemed like an ever-increasing workload. These kinds of days were always exhausting, but they stayed manageable as long as they remained few and far in between. But lately, it felt like you've only been having days like this, and the exhaustion was beginning to drag you down. The only reason you made it through the day was the knowledge that tomorrow was Saturday, and that meant blessed rest.

You pulled your phone out to send the customary 'Just got home!' text to Jinyoung and shuffled to your bedroom, intent on changing into some sweatpants. You had just faceplanted on your bed when your phone began buzzing against the blanket beside you. A moment of shuffling later, you were face to face with Jinyoung, who smiled at you from your phone screen.

"Hey, babe. How did today go?"

You sighed again but found yourself smiling tiredly back at him.

"It was a day. You know how it is, Jinyoung."

He leaned closer to his phone and squinted a bit, scrutinizing you.

"Y/N, you look so tired," he said with a frown. "Have you been getting enough sleep?"

You knew what you looked like. You saw the dark smudges under your eyes and the tiredness that had settled into your face over the last few days. Apparently, a sheet mask wasn't the miracle cure you had hoped it would be. You sighed and rubbed a hand over your face.

"Honestly, I've been pulling a few late nights to try to get some work done. I was kind of thinking I'd stay in this weekend. Just focus on getting some rest so I can get back to normal?" You said this last part as a question, knowing that you usually spent as much of your weekend with Jinyoung as possible. You didn't want him to think that you weren't interested in being with him; you were just too tired to go out and do anything.

But Jinyoung only nodded, satisfied.

"Good. I want you to get more rest. I'll come over tomorrow, and we can just spend the day as lazy as you want. We can nap or watch movies— whatever you want. I just want to make sure you're happy and healthy, Y/N."

Your throat tightened a bit as you were momentarily overwhelmed with affection for Jinyoung. He loved teasing you sometimes, but you knew that underneath all that, he was truly caring and protective of you.

"I'd like that," you whispered back, sinking back into your pillows to listen to Jinyoung tell you about his day until you were lulled to sleep by the sound of his voice.

You woke up to bright light filtering through your window. Groaning, you rolled over to check the time and gasped when you saw that it was already late morning and had no idea when Jinyoung was coming over.

Suddenly awake, you sat up in bed and scrolled through the notifications on your phone, sighing in relief when you saw the messages from Jinyoung.

'It didn't take you very long to fall asleep this time. I guess you really do need the rest.'
'Unless you've only just been pretending to find me interesting all this time.'
'😒😒😒'
'But really, sleep as late as you need tomorrow. Just text me when you wake up, and I'll come over when you're ready. Good night, love you x'
