Your footsteps were sloppy as you walked through the apartment, noticing Junho lying out on the sofa. He could barely keep his eyes awake as he looked across to finally see you walking in, smiling weakly as he placed his phone down beside him on the sofa.

You had no recollection of how late it was, as you slipped your shoes off, noticing Junho sitting himself up slowly, stretching his legs out from the many hours he'd spent on the sofa.

Just as he sat up, you sat down, letting go of a heavy groan as soon as you felt yourself hit the comfort of the sofa cushion. To say you were knackered was an understatement, your body felt as if it was running on empty, which Junho quickly realized.

Yet another late shift, and yet another late arrival back home.

Tonight, seemed different as he studied you though, watching as your hands nervously ran through your hair, shaking from the lack of energy that you seemed to have.

Watching you broke Junho's heart, he'd watched you come home several times over the past few weeks, but this one finally seemed to be the one that broke you as he wrapped his arms around your frame and pulled you down to lay across the sofa.

"I'm sorry that I kept you waiting," you told him as Junho laid your head down to rest against his chest, running his hand along your arm.

His head shook back across to you, he was prepared to wait up all night long if he needed to, to make sure that you were safe. Even if you didn't want to talk, which seemed to happen most nights, he would still be there for you.

"You don't need to apologize," Junho assured you in a calming whisper, "I know that you've had a hectic few days, you were needed at work, and that's alright."

More than anything you didn't want to be needed at work, you wanted to be left alone and allowed to leave work at a reasonable time. You wanted to be able to come home and talk to Junho rather than immediately bail on him for bed.

For some reason though, he seemed to understand. He didn't get angry or frustrated at the lack of time that he seemed to have for you, instead, he just took care of you like he always did and made sure that you were looked after for the limited time that you had at home.

"I'm sorry that we're having to be like this right now," you whispered across to Junho.

As you tilted your head back, he brought his down to be able to meet your tired eyes. He didn't want to listen to you apologize, and he didn't want you to feel bad about what was happening, it was out of your control, which Junho understood.

"You shouldn't have to stay up until one or two in the morning to look after me," you told Junho as he tightened his arm around your frame, "you need to go to bed at a good time too, I'm not the only one that works."

A soft kiss was pressed to the top of your head so that Junho could silence you momentarily. "I always have time for you, even if it's two in the morning. There's no way that I could leave you alone right now."

You smiled anxiously back across at him, "You should be asleep though, you said earlier that you were starting to shoot today, that must have been exhausting."

Whilst admittedly, the shoot for his new drama had taken it out on Junho for the day, he knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep without having you home anyway. However long he'd have to wait, he'd do it, just to see your face.

"I'm not the priority right now Y/N, you are."

"I shouldn't be your priority this late."

"You're always my priority," Junho assured you, continuing to keep an encouraging smile on his face. "It's obvious how exhausted you are, even if you keep wanting to pretend that you're fine. I know you feel like you're burdening me, but you're not, I promise you. I want for you to be alright, that's the only thing that matters to me."

Your head nodded as Junho spoke, as ever there was a clear sincerity in his voice that meant you believed every word that he said to you.

His hold on you was strong too, cuddling up to you tightly to make sure that you knew that you weren't alone. He always seemed to have the right answers when it came to looking after you, even at such a terrible hour of the day.

"I'm so tired," you whispered across to Junho, "what did I do to end up like this?"

"You didn't do anything," Junho smiled, struggling to know what the best thing to say was.

As much as he knew that you were working late because the people at work trusted you and knew you were capable, seeing that being to wear you down suddenly flipped everything around for Junho, he didn't want to see you tire.

"Why don't we head up to bed soon so you can get some sleep?" Junho asked you, "I'll even carry you up if you're tired, as long as you stay on cat watch for me."

"That was pretty funny when you tripped over one of them last week."

His head shook back across at you, with a tinge of pain still in his back from where Johnny had tripped him as he sleepily made his way up the stairs.

"You can walk up," Junho joked as he slowly tried to sit you up, keeping his arms around your frame to make standing up with you in his hold much easier. "The sooner you get to bed the better, otherwise you'll crash on the sofa."

Your head nodded in agreement with him as you stayed clinging to Junho, not wanting any distance to get between the two of you.

"I hate seeing you so tired," Junho hummed as he stood up, carrying you still in his hold with your legs wrapped around his waist. "I wish that sometimes they would go easier on you, take better care of you."

"Luckily for me, I get to come home and be taken care of by you though," you whispered, pressing a kiss to Junho's cheek, "even if no one else in the world looks after me, I know that I can always count on you to be there for me."

"No matter the time, the place, or anything else," he promised.

Your head nodded back to Junho, knowing that he would be there for all of those situations, always making time for you as he promised time and time again.

"We'll get you wrapped up nice and cozy in no time," Junho promised you as he got you up the stairs and into your bedroom, slowly opening the door into the room and placing you down on the bed carefully to stretch out.

"I've missed this place so much; our bed is the best."

A chuckle came from Junho as for once you seemed comfortable again. The weight of the world lifted as soon as you curled up in bed, waiting for Junho to slide under the duvet and cuddle himself up to you again.

"Our bed, with the two of us is my favorite place too."
