The drive home was filled with a comfortable silence, the adrenaline from the awards show slowly wearing off. The night had been a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, pride, and pure joy—but now, as they returned to the familiarity of their home, a peaceful calm settled over them.
Y/N was visibly tired, the exhaustion of the day catching up with her. Namjoon could see it in her eyes and in the way she leaned back against the car seat, her body relaxing as they neared home. He reached over, taking her hand in his, and she gave him a small, appreciative smile.
Once they arrived, Y/N made her way to the bathroom, needing a hot shower to wash away the day’s fatigue. Namjoon had already showered, so he busied himself by tidying up their room a bit, making sure everything was in place for her to just relax when she came out.
When Y/N finally stepped out of the bathroom, her skin glowing from the warmth of the shower, she felt a bit more refreshed, though still very much drained. She found Namjoon already in bed, propped up against the headboard, waiting for her. The sight of him, his gentle smile, and the way he patted the spot beside him made her heart swell with love.
She slipped under the covers, immediately curling up beside him. The warmth of his body was comforting, and she nestled her head against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat under her ear. Namjoon wrapped his arm around her, pulling her even closer, his hand resting protectively over her growing baby bump.
For a while, they just lay there in silence, the events of the night replaying in their minds. It had been such a monumental evening, one that they would never forget. Namjoon broke the silence first, his voice soft and filled with contentment. “Tonight was incredible,” he murmured, his fingers gently brushing through her hair.
Y/N nodded, her eyes half-closed as she soaked in the tranquility of the moment. “It really was,” she agreed, her voice a bit sleepy. “I’m so proud of you and the boys. You deserve every bit of recognition you got tonight.”
Namjoon chuckled softly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “And I’m proud of you, too. You were amazing out there, despite everything. You always amaze me.”
Y/N smiled, feeling a warm blush spread across her cheeks. She tilted her head up to look at him, her eyes filled with love. “We make a pretty good team, don’t we?”
“The best,” Namjoon replied without hesitation, leaning down to capture her lips in a tender kiss.
As they pulled away, Y/N snuggled back into his embrace, letting out a content sigh. The exhaustion from the night finally began to take over, her eyelids growing heavier by the second. Namjoon tightened his hold on her, his own eyes beginning to close as well.
“Goodnight, Joonie,” Y/N whispered, her voice barely audible as sleep took hold.
“Goodnight, my love,” Namjoon whispered back, planting one last kiss on her forehead before allowing himself to drift off to sleep.
And so, wrapped in each other’s arms, they both fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, their dreams filled with the promise of the future they were building together—a future that now included not just the two of them, but the little life growing inside Y/N.
