can’t let you go: clingy!jungwon x reader
jungwon had been gone for three months. three months of sleepless nights, late-night video calls where he looked too tired to keep his eyes open, and constant reassurances that he’d be home soon. you’d gotten used to the cold side of the bed, the quiet hum of his absence lingering in the air like a ghost.
but even with the distance, he never let you forget how much he missed you.
it started with goodnight calls that lasted until one of you fell asleep. then it turned into constant texts throughout the day — “just landed at the venue, wish you were here.” “had ramen after the show, wasn’t the same without you.” “can’t sleep. call me?”
and when the calls weren’t enough, jungwon started leaving you voice messages — his tired, breathless voice cracking through the phone at 3 a.m.:
“miss you so much, baby. i don’t think i can do this without you.” you could practically hear the pout on his face poor baby :(((
you’d wake up to dozens of missed calls and messages, each one more desperate than the last.
“princess, please call me when you wake up.”
“baby, i need to hear your voice.”
the day before he came home, his last message was quiet — barely a whisper over the phone:
“i don’t care how tired i am — the second i see you, i’m not letting go.”
and now he’s back. and he’s not letting go.
the second you open the door, he’s on you. his arms wrap around your waist so tightly you stumble back into the wall. his face presses into the crook of your neck, warm breath fanning against your skin as he exhales shakily.
“missed you so much,” he murmurs, voice rough with exhaustion. his hands roam up and down your back like he’s memorizing the feel of you all over again.
you try to pull away to look at him, but his grip tightens.
“no,” he whispers. “just… let me hold you for a second.”
a second turns into an hour. he follows you from room to room like a lost puppy, his hand always finding yours, his arms slipping around your waist when you try to cook, brush your teeth, or even change clothes. if you sit down, he’s curling into your lap. if you stand up, he’s dragging you back onto the couch, burying his face in your neck with a low hum of contentment.
“jungwon, baby, i need to shower—”
“then i’ll come with you.”
at night, he doesn’t just sleep beside you — he practically fuses himself to you. his arm hooks around your waist, his leg thrown over yours, his head resting against your chest. and if you so much as shift away? he’s waking up instantly, sleepily mumbling, “where are you going?” before dragging you right back.
and one night — hours past midnight, when the soft glow of the moon filters through the curtains — you try to slip out of bed for a glass of water. you barely make it to the edge of the mattress before a soft, sleepy whine breaks through the quiet.
“nooo… don’t go,” jungwon mumbles, his hand blindly searching for you under the sheets. his brows furrow, and his voice is thick with sleep. “come back…”
“i’m just getting water, won.”
his eyes barely open, his grip on your wrist tightening. “don’t care… need you more than you need water…” his lower lip juts out in the faintest pout.
“no.” his hand slips to your waist, pulling you down until you’re lying flat on the mattress. his face presses into your neck as he breathes out a contented sigh. “stay.”
“please, baby.” his voice is barely a whisper, but it’s laced with that quiet desperation that makes your heart clench. “can’t sleep without you.”
you sigh, running your fingers through his hair as he melts against you. his breathing slows, his hand slipping under the hem of your shirt to rest on your waist.
“you’re lucky you’re cute,” you murmur.
his lips curl against your skin. “i know.”
and then he’s moving — shifting his weight until he’s propped up on his elbows, eyes heavy with sleep but still dark with something deeper. his lips press against your cheek, soft and lingering. then your jaw. then your neck.
“god, i missed you,” he breathes between kisses, his hands trailing up and down your sides. “missed you so much it hurt.”
you hum softly, your hand sliding into his hair. “i missed you too.”
he tilts his head, his mouth trailing from your collarbone to the corner of your lips. his nose brushes against yours as his breath hitches. “say it again.”
that’s all it takes. his lips are on yours, warm and desperate, his hand slipping under your shirt to press against the bare skin of your waist. his kiss is slow but intentional, like he’s trying to make up for every second you were apart. he pulls back just enough to whisper against your lips, “i’m never leaving you again.”
he kisses you again — deeper this time — and you feel his smile against your mouth. his hands frame your face as he pulls away just enough to whisper, “mine.”
your eyes flutter open, and he’s already watching you. his hand moves to your cheek, thumb brushing over your skin with the gentlest touch.
“go back to sleep, princess,” he whispers. “i’ll be right here when you wake up.”
you fall asleep with his arms wrapped around you, his lips brushing against your temple, his steady breath warming your skin. and just as you drift off, you hear him mumble one last thing against your hair:
please do not motify my works.
