You looked around for hyunjin the second you stepped into the dorm, pushing on to your tip toes to peer around the messy dorm in search of your boyfriend. you were seconds away from crying, tears already brimming in your eyes, that awkward lump lodged in your throat and after the day you'd had all you needed was the comfort of hyunjin's arms and the steady thump of his heart to ease the ache inside of you. chan glanced up from the computer, the grin on his face slowly slipping into a frown.

"oh, hey, y/n are-"

"where's hyunjin" you hadn't meant to cut him off, didn't mean to be so harsh but you were embarrassed about your impending break down and in that moment your boyfriend was all you wanted.

"hwang hyunjin, your girl's here!" his yell was rather loud, startled han who was laying on the couch and your body felt hot from the attention it brought to you. it did grab hyunjin's attention immediately his head peeking through the door hair slightly disheveled. like chan the smile on his face dropped instantly when he saw your expression, the exhausted look on your face, the obvious remnants of old tears settled beneath your eyes.

"baby," he dropped the tape in his hand with a clatter, matching the pouted look on your face. you swiped at a stray tear that had fallen down your cheek. "hey, what's wrong?" you shook your head, sniffled rather aggressively.

"can you just- can you come here? really need a hug, jinnie." your voice cracked and so did hyunjins heart, a soft noise tumbling from his lips as he nodded, his jacket got caught against the door handle and he swore under his breath when it rattled rather loudly into the door. in his haste to get out of the awkward state to get to you his arms opened immediately and you ran to him, let him tug your body down the halls and to his room, and away from prying eyes before he wrapped you up against his chest. you pressed your face into the soft fabric of his shirt, your arms circling his waist, fingers clasping a little at his back. hyunjin's own arms came around your upper body, one pressed flat palmed to your shoulder blade, the other gentle against the back of your head, cradling you against him and the second you were tucked away safely the tears fell.

you melted into him, let him hug you tight, his grip helping keep you steady as his thumb brushed comfortingly over the back of your head, his lips pressed into your hair. he kept like that for a few minutes, let you hold him and cry, let you get it all out while pressing the occasional kiss to the top of your head or squeezing your shoulders a little tighter. his head dipped a little lower, neck craned almost awkwardly so he could brush his lips over your ear.

"i've got you, baby, m'here, yeah?" he kissed your temple, strained back up and pressed his cheek to the top of your head, swayed you both ever so slightly. the ache inside of you had dulled slightly from the intoxicating scent of him and the steady thump thump thump of his heart beneath your ear when you turned your head and his beautiful features turned into a loving look. the tight grip he had on you kept you grounded, helped you realise you were here with him and not back having the shift from hell, helped to slow the flow down of tears that had soaked through his shirt.

as you turned your head and pressed your cheek flat to his chest his hand shifted from the back of your head and cupped your jaw, large palm warm over your cheek. his thumb brushed the tears away, soothed over your damp skin until your body completely relaxed and your lashes fluttered from exhaustion. he kissed your forehead, let his lips linger for a few seconds. in his arms his warmth and comfort made you feel like it was just the two of you, wrapped up in his bed, covered by his sheets, a soft tangle of limbs and it eased your heart, made it feel less heavy.

"y'wanna tell me what's wrong?" voice soft he grazed his thumb down the bridge of your nose, smiled into your hair when you kissed his palm and then shook your head. you tightened your arms around his waist.

"can you just hold me a little longer?" hyunjin didn't need to answer verbally, only nodded and squeezed your shoulder, went back to the soft back and forth of his thumb over your cheek.
