grateful - jooheon

You rub the back of your neck as you knock softly on the front door of your boyfriend's apartment, sighing happily when he opens up with a dimpled smile.
"Baby!" he shouts cheerfully and opens his arms wide for you.
Instinctively, you snake your limbs around Jooheon's warm body and snuggle your face into his chest, "Hi." you reply in a breathy tone.
He spins the two of you around and nudges the door shut with his foot, letting you cling to him like a monkey. Sitting down heavily on the couch, Jooheon runs his fingers through your hair, silently understanding you want some quiet.
It had been a long day at work, your shoulders and neck aching from hunching over your desktop, "I'm sorry I'm not more excited to see you. I really did miss you." your muffled voice comes from under the fluffy blanket he wrapped around the both of you.
Jooheon replies with a small chuckle and kisses the top of your head, "It's okay, baby. I'm perfectly happy that you're even here."
"How was your showcase?" you ask, toying with the strings of his hoodie.
"It was awesome, the monbebes were sweet as always and I almost cried from how amazing my job is." the idea of your sentimental boyfriend getting misty eyed at his biggest U.S. showcase ever was not too imaginative.
You move your hand under the fleece material of his hoodie and rest it in his warm chest, "I'm so happy you're doing so well. You and the boys deserve it for how hard you all work."
Jooheon feels his heart swell with pride at your sweet words and plays with the fingers of your free hand, "Well, you're also on the up and up at the production company too! Little Miss Executive Producer."
You smile tiredly and nod, "Took a while, but yeah."
"Do you want to sleep?" he asks, kissing your knuckles softly when he notices your eyes fighting to stay open.
Shaking your head my slightly, you pout, "No, I wanna watch that movie you were talking about."
Jooheon laughs and sits up to grab the TV remote, turning on the obscure indie flick he mentioned when texting you last week.

As the ending credits roll, Jooheon smiles softly at your sleeping face that is aglow in the light of the TV. He shifts and stands, picking you up and taking you to bed. Removing your uncomfortable work clothes and slipping one of his t-shirts over your head, he puts you under the covers before crawling in beside you. Your arms reach out for him and he brings you close, once again feeling you settle your face into his chest. Jooheon tried to keep himself from whining aloud at how cute you look, all tucked into his body and sleeping peacefully. Your eyelashes sit gently on your adorable cheeks that you never seemed to grow out of (evident in your baby pictures that your mom had shown him months ago). The hairs that stick up in every which way from your messy ponytail seem imperfectly perfect in Jooheon's eyes which charms him into studying every feature of you. No matter how much you do to remind him that you're not leaving any time soon, Jooheon feels like he has to memorize every detail about you before you disappear. He watches you scrunch your nose like a bunny, probably dreaming about something strange which you always feel the need to wake him up to tell him about every time.
Your hand reaches up to rub your eyes which open drowsily, looking unfocused at Jooheon, "What time is it?"
Your boyfriend drags his eyes away from your enchanting form and looks over your shoulder at the bedside table's clock, "Four A.M."
"Why aren't you asleep?" you mumble, tangling your legs around his.
"Just thinking." Jooheon states simply, twirling a lock of your hair in his fingers.
You scratch your head and stretch before settling back down into his embrace, "About?"
"You. Us." once again giving an unsatisfactory, but telling reply.
You lean up to kiss Jooheon's neck, humming contentedly when he turns to capture your lips. The act of kissing Jooheon is enough to make your head cloud with a feeling only describable as pure, affectionate love. His hands lay on your hips and he dips his head lower to put more pressure into the kiss, turning you to face him completely and drawing you impossibly closer.
"I really do love you so much, Y/N." he whispers, as if any sound too loud could break the beautiful moment you two are sharing.
"I love you too."
