masterlist!!
10:45pm
you’re just about to get ready for bed, cleaning up your kitchen and putting away leftovers from dinner. as you’re washing your hands, your phone buzzes. you glance over, seeing a text from keeho.
‘hi (name)! seobie’s been in his studio all day and we want to go to dinner 😓 can you come get him??’
you frown, realizing that’s why you haven’t heard from your boyfriend all day.
‘i’ll pay for you at dinner!!!’
you let out a huffed laugh as you read his message.
‘ok! i’ll be over in 5’
you write back, pocketing your phone and quickly putting on your shoes and a jacket. thankfully, you lived pretty close to the fnc building and are able to take a quick walk to it.
in the lobby, you meet up with keeho who takes you to jongseob’s studio. he tells you about the practices jongseob missed today and how he wasn’t talking to any of them. “we thought about calling you earlier, but didn’t want to bother you. but we’re confident you can get him out of there,” keeho says, exasperated.
you smile, though your heart races, wanting to help him, yet knowing how your boyfriend gets stuck to his work. “i’ll do what i can,” you say, mustering up as much confidence as you can. keeho pats your shoulder as a quick “good luck” before leaving.
you sigh, knocking gently on jongseob’s door. you hear some movement on the other side of the door before it opens. there, stands your disheveled and obviously exhausted boyfriend. your heart breaks, seeing him look so miserable.
when jongseob’s eyes meet yours, they widen slightly, his cheeks flushing in what you assume is embarrassment.
“(name)? hey,” he says, gently trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. “you okay?” he asks.
“hm? yeah. i’m fine, baby, but the boys and i are worried about you. you’ve been in your studio all day,” you reply, reaching out to grab his hand.
jongseob frowns, pulling you into his studio. “i just need to finish this one part..” he mumbles, sitting back in his chair. “then we can go to dinner. that’s what the boys want, right?” he asks, peaking over his shoulder at you.
you nod. “yeah. we want to go to dinner with you,” you say, leaning over to wrap your arms around his shoulders from behind. “why can’t you take a break?” you ask.
jongseob sighs, leaning back in his chair and into you. “i just… can’t get it right,” he rests his head on your arm, clicking around aimlessly on his computer. “i’ve been working on it.. all day… and it just doesn’t sound right.”
you frown, watching his cursor move around the computer, opening and closing tabs. “you need a break,” you say, voice gentle and kind. “you’re just going to make yourself feel worse if you keep working with this mindset.”
jongseob looks up at you, obviously wanting to protest. but, he sighs, nodding his head. “okay,” he breathes, pushing himself up from his chair as you let him go. “we’re going to dinner?” he asks, stretching.
you smile and nod, reaching to grab jongseob’s hand. “mhm,” you hum, leading him out of his studio while he grabs his things. “the boys should be waiting for us downstairs.”
…
after a calm, fun night, you’re walking home with your boyfriend, hand and hand.
“thank you,” jongseob says, his voice quiet. he bumps into you playfully. “i needed someone to pull me out of there.”
you laugh, squeezing his hand. “you know i’ll always be there to make you take a break,” you remind him. “you work yourself too hard.”
“i know,” jongseob smiles shyly. “i just love what i do,” he sighs. “but.. i was in there too long.”
you smile. “i know.. and you’re doing great. but you need to eat dinner,” you tease, loving the way he grins at you.
you’d be more than happy to remind your boyfriend to come home when he’s working too hard. you don’t mind persuading him to take a break, knowing it’s better than him ultimately burning out. then, you can have sweet moments with him like this.
OURGHH I HOPE THIS WAS OKAY IDKDKKK MY SILLYYY
