Your boyfriend, Namjoon absolutely loved reading. Sometimes you were convinced he loved reading more than he loved you but he'd give you a million reasons why that was untrue.
"and I especially love the way you look when you're asleep. It's the most precious thing and it always warms my heart to see you so content." He finishes his list of reasons.
"You watch me sleep? That's so creepy." You tease and cause him to frown.
"I'm kidding, baby! That's so sweet and cheesy but I love you because of that." You give him a small kiss.
More often than not you try to get him to stop reading because you're bored and you want him to entertain you or at least talk. It's usually hard to get him to stop because he's so into the books he reads, that it's like his soul leaves his body and enters the world of the book. One day you had just given up on trying to stop him from reading. You leave him in the living room while you go to the bedroom to take a nap.
You wake up to find that you slept for a few hours, missing dinner. Usually Namjoon would wake you up for dinner so you're a bit worried and wondering why he didn't wake you up. You go to the living room to find him in the same spot you left him but reading a different book. You walk towards him when he didn't look at you as you entered the room.
"Namjoon, why didn't you wake me up for dinner?" You ask as you sit down next to him.
"Dinner?" He looks at the time on the grandfather clock across the room. His eyes widen when he realizes how late it is.
"I didn't even know what time it is. I'm sorry, baby." He apologizes as he puts his book on the table.
"Aren't you hungry? How could you read for so long and not get hungry?"
"I am now that you mention it. I got this new series earlier and I couldn't stop reading because each book ended with a cliffhanger. Do you know how hard it is to finish a book like that and try not to read the next one?!" You give him a look that said he knew you better.
You weren't one for reading but it wasn't because you thought it was lame. You just couldn't focus on a book and no matter how good it was, you'd just keep getting distracted. Namjoon knew this about you. His love for books is something you deeply admire about him but sometimes it was bad because he could easily spend a whole day on books. That was when you'd have to convince him that it was time to stop.
"I'm sorry." He apologizes again and tries to kiss you but you turn away.
"It's whatever. I'm going to get something to eat. You can go ahead and keep reading your books." You said as you got up and went to put your shoes and sweater on.
"Babe." He calls after you as he follows behind.
"Are you mad?" He asks, watching you look for a sweater.
"No, I'm hungry so I'm going out to eat." You answer simply but he can sense the annoyance in your voice.
"Without me?"
"You said it was hard to stop reading so?" You sat down on the bed to put your shoes on.
"I said I was sorry!" He says before sitting down beside you and putting his arm around you to bring your body close to him. He rests his forehead on yours.
"Baby, please don't be upset. I'm really sorry. I promise I won't read a book all day tomorrow and if you want to extend that then I'll do it." You look into his eyes and realize how serious he is. Namjoon never went a day without a book, even on his busiest day he would still make time to read. You put your hands on his cheeks and give him a kiss.
"Fine but you're also buying dinner." He smiles widely and gives you a kiss and embraces you tightly.
You and Namjoon look at the menu to find something to eat. You quickly choose something because you want to order already but Namjoon is still looking at the menu. He liked looking at the whole menu before choosing because he didn't want to get something and end up wanting something else. You were just about to tell him to hurry up but you choose to observe him instead. You look at the focused look he's wearing and you always loved it. Somehow he looked really attractive and he wasn't even trying to be. Sometimes when he'd read, he'd bite the inside of his cheek and you loved when he did that too. You loved everything little thing he did when he read but you especially loved that he enjoyed reading. It was part of his happiness and you were trying to take that away from him.
Dinner is pretty quiet because you both are really hungry but also because you're stuck in your head with all your thoughts and Namjoon feels like you're still mad at him. When you two get home, you go straight to the bedroom. Namjoon follows after you and lies down while you change into pajamas.
"Babe." He says quietly. You give him your attention.
"I know I said I wouldn't read tomorrow but can I please finish the last book today?" He asks and you can see in his face how badly he wants to read but also how guilty he feels for asking. You lie down on your stomach, beside him.
"Don't ever stop reading, Joon."
"What?" You smile at the shocked look on his face.
"I love watching you read. I love how happy reading makes you and I shouldn't have tried to take that away from you. It's not fair." You explain.
"But the reason you didn't want me to read is because I wasn't spending much time with you."
"I don't care about that. I already said I just want you to be happy." You put your hand in his and give it a small squeeze.
"And I want you to be happy. How about I just limit myself to 2 books a day?" He suggests, earning a surprised look from you.
"Really? Are you sure you can do that?" You question and make yourself sound over dramatic. He chuckles as he puts a hand on your cheek.
"Baby, I love you. I'd do anything for you just like you're willing to do anything for me." He says just before giving you a kiss.
