"Suga, I'm home."

The moment Zion opened the door, the sound of the television filled the room, confirming his suspicion—Suga was lounging on the couch. Heading to the living room, Zion found him fast asleep there.

His brows furrowed as he took in the sight of the coffee cups littering the table. Most of them were heavy on milk and cream, meaning the caffeine content was probably low, but still—drinking this much wasn't healthy.

Zion crouched down, observing Suga's sleeping face. His eyes were shut, his breathing steady—he was definitely deep in sleep. A small smile tugged at Zion's lips. Suga's cheeks had filled out a little. He remembered the first time he saw him—a man who looked like they hadn't slept in a week, with dark circles under his eyes and an underweight frame. But now, his weight had gone up, and he had even built a bit of muscle, though it wasn't obvious unless he flexed.
