The clouds hid on this cold november night, the stars visible enough for you to watch them twinkle and tease eachother in the sky. College finished at 4 but you stayed a few hours behind to catch up on course work. Eyes glued to the concrete beneath you as you waited patiently for Jongin to pick you up in the parking lot. You were in no amount of desperation for him to drive through the gates, enjoying your own company as you twiddled your thumbs in your lap. Eventually, his black mercedes benz caught your eye as the head lights slowly dimmed to pull up beside you. Through the tinted windows, the faint silhouette of a suited man sat tensely in the front seat. You opened the passenger door as the familiar smell of Calvin Klein cologne cascaded out of the car and tickled your senses. Sitting down, you realised Jongin 's jaw was clenched, hands gripping the steering wheel. Still not having said a word to eachother, you eyed him up as the veins in his hands popped out one by one. He finally broke the silence with a singular "hi".

You quickly responded "How was work?"

"Stressful but nothing new"
He pushed out.

You knew there was something he wasn't telling you. You'd usually be greeted with all-too-curious questions about your day followed by a peck on your forehead. So what's wrong today? Nevertheless, you knew how to get it out of him. You took his hand in yours as your thumb caressed his palm. Immediately, he tensed up, the fabric of his tux wrapping its way around his biceps tightly.

Eyes fixed on his as they cloudily stared out on to the empty parking lot , you spoke with the most gentle tone you could squeeze out,

"Are you sure?"

Your voice like music to his ears, comforting each and every one of his worries in the space of a 3 word question.

Squeezing your hand and looking in your direction now, he uttered

"I promise, it's just been a difficult week for the company and I've got a stack of paperwork to fill out before Monday"

He kissed you on the forehead and held your head to his chest a little longer than usual, twisting his fingers within  your curls, allowing you to feel his heart pumping beside your ear. You had no choice but to take his word for it, if he promised then who were you to doubt him.

Eventually, Jongin let go of you to start driving as you laid your head on the passenger side window.
