GOT7 Imagines

Comfort - JB

Y/n dragged her tired self up the stairs, legs heavy, head pounding. She fished out the spare key from her pocket and opened the door, entering the luxurious four-bed apartment and slid down the door with exhaustion.

It was empty. 

An apple with a bite mark was lying on the kitchen counter. He must've left the house in a hurry. For a sudden interview maybe. 

She stood up all wobbly-kneed, and somehow made it to the room, quickly stripped out of her clothes and grabbed the comfiest garment; her boyfriend's red hoodie.

Y/n over here was sleepy and hungry from all the extra work her mean old manager had dumped on her. The complaints and yells just added to her annoyance.

Her stomach grumbled for food, and she stood up, mentally tired more than anything and made her way to the kitchen to fulfill her human needs.

Staying up late for the past few weeks had weighed her down, and the owner of her flat had threatened to toss out her belongings if she didn't pay the rent by the end of the month. Another reason to feel burdened.

She plopped on the sofa and stuffed her face with some spicy noodles, the last packet in the kitchen cabinet. Switching on the speakers, she tuned into her favorite playlist. 

Her eyes closed in bliss as she enjoyed the soft melody of the music and spooned mouthfulls of ramen every now and then. 

Within a few minutes, the plastic cup was lying empty on the table and she drifted into a dreamless sleep.

The guys had decided to crash at his place for a while since his house was nearest and they were exhausted.

Jaebeom found the door to his house open when he tried using the key. He immediately grew cautious about the possible chance of a theft.

"C'mon JB, just open the door! Why are you acting as if there's a thief-", BamBam started, but quietened down when he saw the seriousness in his hyung's eyes.

"Oh- should I call the police? What if there's more than one?", Mark started, they were all calm for once, but Jaebeom nodded his head slowly.

"Seven against one will be easy. Let's be careful though."

JB tiptoed and looked around for the so-called thief. It was empty.

The others took that as a sign to follow him.

His body stiffened when he heard familiar beats of Lullaby coming from inside. As he drew closer to the living room, that's when he saw her.

"Who's that- Oh-", Jackson's voice died down in his throat when he met the sight of a pair of feminine legs sprawled out in the couch, and his cheeks reddened.

The rest simply began to behave as if they never saw anything and JB was glad.

Kicking them out didn't take as long as he expected.

***

Y/n woke up feeling warm and content.
It was a nice feeling.

The soft scent of musk made her cuddle closer to the heated, hard pillow, a groan vibrating from it at the action.

Her body tensed. She peeked an eye open only to find herself nestled in her boyfriend's arms.

She tried to look around without moving, not wanting to wake him up. He needed the rest.

Her cheeks flared when she felt one of his long legs intervining with hers.

Her legs were bare and the heat of his body kept her warm. She could feel his arms wrapped around her waist, her body pressed flush against his bare chest.

She looked at his relaxed face with a newfound curiousity, taking in the length of his lashes and his high cheek bones, the little diamond on his nose, and the soft plumpness of his lips.

"Looks like someone woke up."

His voice was deep and raspy, sending a shiver down her body which he fortunately didn't notice. A sleepy smile played on his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners seeing the color in her cheeks.

A sudden flurry of emotions clashed in her and she didn't find the heart to smile or respond to him.

"Hey? What's wrong?"

She couldn't speak.

"Y/n, babe, are you upset? Is everything alright?"

Sniffles turned into full blown sobs within a matter of few seconds and he felt warm tears streak down his chest, the sleep in his system was thrown out of the window.

His strong arms wrapped around her waist and the other one began to stroke her scalp soothingly as she cried into him.

"Do you want to talk about it? It's okay if you don't want to, we'll stay like this for a while."

Times like this made her feel that she didn't deserve him. That she didn't deserve someone like him, someone with his patience, someone who understood her without any words exchanged.

When she finally found the courage to meet his face, she looked straight into his  eyes, though her own were blurry with unshed tears.

"H-how? How can you just- you know, just comfort me like this, when I've just treated you like.....crap?! I haven't said a proper word to you in days and you just- I can't even get angry with you like this. I-"

More sobs.

Jaebeom sighed, pulled her even closer, hitched one of her legs around his waist and let one his hands rub circles on her back as she cried, cooing at her every now and then.

"I'm here. I'm right here. You deserve it all baby.......you don't have no reason to beat yourself up. You've come this far, you're a few steps closer to your dreams..... you've worked so hard, love. It's not the end."

The gentleness in his tone warmed her and she found herself wanting to gaze into the endless depths of his onyx eyes.

"So- you already found out....and you probably paid my rent too. You know I want I do it on my own and not depend on you so why-"

"You think I didn't observe those forced smiles and all that mask of happiness plastered on your face? You stopped texting me 3 in the morning when you couldn't sleep and avoided eye contact with me. You can be angry with me for paying your rent but I don't care. I can't see you sad and sullen like this."

One of his palms inched towards her face and patted her damp cheek. Maybe, inside, he knew that she was feeling guilty that she depended on him, which was why he refrained from meeting her bloodhot eyes.

"I want my happy Y/n back."

She didn't trust her voice, knowing that she could break down once again but she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled closer to him. The sincerity and the raw truth in his voice shook her when it wavered just for a split of a second and at that moment, she realised that she had fallen more deeper for him.

But then, it was him afterall. Someone whom she could blindly give up everything for.

The steady sound of his rhythmic heartbeat and the slow intakes of breath comforted her beyond anything.

Everything would be alright. She just knew it.
