It was so rare that Jihoon was home before you were already asleep. He stayed in Universe Factory until the early hours of the morning cooking up new masterpieces for Seventeen and other artists. You had fallen asleep on the couch in his studio countless times, and every time Jihoon always felt a little guilty about it.
One night when he noticed that your rambling about the meaning of flowers had come to a sudden halt, he looked up from his computer to find you cutely dozing off. He realized that it was already 2 am, and he should've made sure you had gone home long ago, but it was too late for that now. So, his lips would pull up into a soft smile and he would grab a blanket to drape over your sleeping figure before going back to the current song he was working on.
Jihoon had always preferred the soft intimacy of the evenings and night over the bustling and busy day. It might sound ridiculous to others, but he would always choose a peaceful night in the studio to any fancy date. He was glad you also favoured simplicity. That's why you worked well together.
The nights when you would both slip under the covers of your bed at home were rare, but you loved them. It was just past midnight and Jihoon finished showering and brushing his teeth. You were drowsy but still awake when you felt the dip in the bed next to you. You reached over to your bedside to turn on the lamp to a low setting.
"You should've turned on a light. What if you stubbed your toe?" You scolded making him laugh.
"I know my way around this room even in the dark. Didn't want to wake you in case you were asleep." He shifted onto his side so he was facing you, eyes meeting yours.
You didn't say anything and neither did he, both of you just settling into the most comfortable position and staring. It was quiet— so quiet that Jihoon could hear your breathing and how it had synced up with his. It made him smile.
He couldn't get the thought out of his head that you just looked so pretty like this. The warm glow from the lamp cast gentle shadows on your face, accentuating the curves of your face and the line of your jaw. You had a lazy smile on your face, resisting the urge to close your eyes and give in to sleep for just a bit longer.
Jihoon's hand wandered until it was stroking your hair and that was enough to get you to finally give in. You closed your eyes, the feeling of his hand brushing your hair with such care and love. Jihoon wasn't very vocal, but you knew how important you were to him from the way he held you, from the little things he did only for you.
You could feel the tiredness slowly take over and you were already half asleep when you murmured a soft 'I love you' to Jihoon. You wanted him to know in case he had forgotten the last time you said it.
His hand paused for a moment before resuming and you picked up on a quiet mumble from your boyfriend before you finally drifted off to sleep.
"I love you too. I've never... loved you more than right now."
