"ahh, no.. that's not right.." followed by a few clicks of the mouse, hongjoong sighed and pressed his palm against his cheek. his eyes were beginning to fade into a faint shade of pink, the circles under his eyes slowly becoming more prominent. his foot shook as he sat deep in thought, his mind spinning with different ways to make this bridge sound correct.
the door slowly creaks open, followed by the pitter patter of your feet shuffling into the room.
you leaned against the doorframe and watched as hongjoong's head carefully moved in sync with the song playing on the speakers. careful not to disturb you, the volume wasn't set too loud. he was always pretty careful about it, especially after one night where you got particularly upset because you couldn't sleep.
you couldn't help but watch - the way his leg bounced rhythmically, his head moved to the beat, his eyelashes fluttered as he closed his eyes to focus, the curvature of his nose as his fingers gently pinched the bridge.
you took a deep breath before knocking gently on the surface of the doorframe, stepping into the dimly lit room.
hongjoong slowly turned to you, his expression almost immediately softening. "what are you doing up?"
you shrugged carefully as you approached him, a warm but sleepy smile on your face. "mm. couldn't sleep."
hongjoong hummed in response, his chair squeaking a bit as he turned back to his screen. "'m almost done with this."
"you said that before i laid down three hours ago."
hongjoong clicked his tongue and ignored you, but couldn't help his eyes dragging towards the clock in the corner of his screen.
"you should take a break. continue tomorrow. you know that's actually better for your mind? to sleep on it?" you gently stood behind hongjoong's chair, leaning over to wrap your arms around his shoulders and bury your nose into his soft hair.
hongjoong gently moved one hand to rest on your forearm, gently caressing your skin, while his other hand remained on his mouse. "it's hard. i get in the zone like this and it's hard to get out of it, especially when i know i could wake up tomorrow and not be in it anymore."
you nodded, understanding where he was coming from. "i know, my love. but you need rest. your lack of sleep is beginning to show." you chuckled softly.
hongjoong gently took your hand in his, pressing his lips softly to the back, his eyes still glued to the screen.
you appreciated the soft gesture, acknowledging that you, his girlfriend, were there, even when he was trying to stay on task. it was little things like this that made you feel warm and bubbly inside.
"can i get you something to drink? maybe a tea can help you wind down?"
hongjoong smiled softly against your hand, pressing one more kiss to your knuckles before releasing your hand from his. "if you don't mind, i would love that." he finally removed his gaze from the screen, turning to you, where he gently tugged your wrist down towards him for a quick kiss.
you blushed softly. you had been dating hongjoong a little over a year now, yet he still made you shy like a schoolgirl with a crush.
you gently pressed your lips to his, closing your eyes and smiling into it. hongjoong's hand reached up to gently rest against your jaw, but you pulled away and smiled sheepishly at him. "i'll go get that for you."
the sound of the spoon tapping the sides of the ceramic glass grew louder over time as you made your way back into the studio.
hongjoong was still working hard, his eyes fixated on the screen. still.
"here's your tea, joong-"
"can you tell me what you think of this?"
you blinked a few times as you set his glass onto the designated coaster on his desk, before taking a seat on the couch behind him. "of course."
hongjoong gently pressed the space bar, nodding his head carefully as he kept his finger pressed against his chin in thought. the piece ended, and he pressed the space bar again. "i guess i just need reassurance. i don't really know if it sounds good."
"i think you need sleep, hongjoong." you chuckled softly as you leaned over to set a hand on his knee. "it sounds great. i think you've just been listening to it repeatedly, and it would be best if you slept on it and revisited the track tomorrow. don't you agree?"
hongjoong gently set his hand over yours, his other hand reaching to the mug that you gave him. he took a sip, humming at the pleasant feeling and taste. nodding softly, he set the glass down and smiled at you, his expression clearly a sleepy one. "i think you might be right."
you smiled proudly. "you should listen to me the first time i say it, though. not the thirty-fifth time."
hongjoong chuckled softly and gave your hand a gently squeeze before turning to finally save and quit the project. he took another sip of his drink, turning to you and holding out his other hand.
you took his hand and followed him as you both walked down the hallway and into your room, where you gently crawled into the bed that was messy with blankets from your last attempt at sleeping.
hongjoong set the mug on the bedside table, his eyes trailing towards you. he smiled softly and joined you in bed, his arms immediately wrapping around you and pulling you in towards his chest. "mm. you're beautiful, you know?"
you felt your face heat up, pressing your cheek into his chest. "what makes you say that all of a sudden?"
hongjoong pulls away to face you, his smile very apparent in the darkness of the bedroom. "am i not allowed to remind you?"
"no, you... you are." you chuckled shyly, pressing a kiss to his jaw.
hongjoong's smile never left his face as he leaned down to press a soft kiss to your lips, his hand against your chin to hold you in place, before he pulled away and adjusted his pillow.
"sleep well, alright? you deserve it... you've been working hard all day, and all week, but... you deserve the best rest, and i'm here for you if-"
hongjoong's chest gently rose and fell with each breath, his eyes already closed and his nose buried in your hair.
you smiled softly. how would you ever get over the crush you had on this man?
