sleep | jumin

jumin had been working in late recently and you thought it would be a good idea to take a trip to C&R to keep him company.

on your way in, you bumped into jaehee, jumin's secretary.

"mrs han ? what brings you here ?"

jaehee asked while you helped her balance the stack of papers she was struggling to hold on to.

"i came here to see how jumin was doing, he's been coming home late recently and i'm worried."

"you're too kind. mr han is in his office, he's working now but i'm sure he doesn't mind if it's you."

jaehee walked off afterwards, seemingly rushing off somewhere.

you made your way towards jumin's office, holding onto 2 cups of coffee.

you knocked on the door a few times, opening the door,

"jumin, i'm here !" you said, immediately noticing the echo of your loud shout.

there in jumin's office was him, lying on the desk, fast asleep.

you placed the cup of coffee on his table and decided to pass the other cup to jaehee instead.

she was a hard worker, working late all the time and you felt that she deserved it.

the next day, you woke up, used to the emptiness in jumin's penthouse, you walked downstairs to see jumin playing with elizabeth the third.

taken aback, you tripped on the stairs, landing on the floor with a loud thud, alerting jumin of your presence.

"are you alright ?" jumin said before he carried you to the couch.

you had been scratched up pretty roughly, there was a cut on your knee.

"it's alright ! i'm used to it." you laughed.

you had asked jumin to take the first aid kit out to tend to your wounds personally but jumin insisted on wanting to apply medication on you so you gave in.

"this might sting a little." he said with a tint of worry in his voice.

you winced slightly at the slight sting of the wound.

but soon, it was done.

"you did quite a good job jumin." you praised.

"anything for my wife." jumin smiled.

"and i'm sorry too." he added.

"why ?" you questioned.

"assistant kang told me about yesterday. i appreciate the coffee, thank you very much and i'm sorry i've been busy lately. the company is launching off a new health project for the workers and i have to deal with my father's relationships."

tip toeing, you hugged jumin, patting his back.

"its been hard on you. no need for any apology. i am here for you whenever you need me."

those words you said that day were how you actually felt towards jumin but you didn't know how much it impacted him.

-
the phone started to ring.

"mrs han ?"

"yes ?"

"please do try to get mr han to come back to work, i simply cannot finish this heavy workload by myself."

"i am terribly sorry. i will get him to be back at work as soon as possible."

you ended the phone call, ready to relay the message by jaehee to jumin, only to notice him smiling away in the kitchen.

not wanting to spoil his cheerful mood with this sad piece of news, you decided to postpone the revelation later on.

"this could go on for a little longer i suppose."
