*February 15th*
The next morning, Mariana woke up to her phone's alarm ringing, demanding that she needed to get up for work. She silenced the obnoxious noise and started pulling back the covers for her to get out of bed, only prompting Suga to snuggly wrap an arm around her as he mumbled something under his breath.
Mariana chuckled at him a bit before rolling over to face him. "I have to get up and go to work, Yoongi. You can't hold me down today."
Suga grumbled something more before letting her go, his hand dropping at his other side as he rolled over to his back, hitting the bed with a plop. Mariana drug herself out of bed, and willed her legs to walk, moving around her room to get ready for work as quietly as she could so that she wouldn't wake up Yoongi, then went out to the kitchen to clean up the dinner table.
Yoongi had heard her moving around a few times, yet never made a move to get out of bed. Until he heard her keys jingle as she was getting ready to leave. He bolted out of bed, nearly sprinting into the main area. "Leaving so soon?" He joked as Mariana was putting her jacket on.
Mariana squealed a bit as she jumped back in surprise, her jacket hanging off of one shoulder. "You are WAY more awake than I'd expect for Min Yoongi at 7:00 in the morning."
"Eh, I can be a morning person sometimes." Suga commented, helping Mariana fix her jacket. "Today is my off day, so, I don't really have anything to do. It's gonna be boring without you."
"Are you and the boys still planning on working with TXT today for a v-live? Though, knowing me, I probably have the dates mixed up." Mariana pointed out with a chuckle.
Suga shook his head a bit. "No. They're so busy at the moment, we all decided to wait until next week. You were initially correct, though." He assured.
"Good to know I'm not completely insane." Mariana said with a little amused smile. "You can hang out here if you want to. I work until noon, and then have two classes, so I should be back around 3." She stated and grabbed her backpack, slinging it over her shoulder.
Yoongi nodded. "I may take you up on that. I could do some shopping for you, if you want."
Mariana thought for a moment, trying to remember if she had started a shopping list yet. "I don't think I need anything. But if it'll make you feel better, knock yourself out. I've gotta get going. I'll see you this afternoon." She said with a little smile and opened her door. "Oh!" She started and quickly stepped over to Yoongi and kissed him. "Thank you for last night, it was amazing. I love you!" She said and finally hurried out the door.
Suga grinned like an idiot when she kissed him, a bit of blush rising into his cheeks. "Love you too." He said to Mariana as she closed the door.
****
Mariana got back around 4:00, noticing that Suga wasn't around, but there was a note stuck under a magnet on her fridge.
Jagiya, I went to my studio around 11:30 with a sudden idea for a song. Stop by if you want to, or video call me when you get home.
Mariana smiled a bit as she took the note with her back to her bedroom to change out of her work shirt and slacks, sending Yoongi a text once she was done.
4:15 pm
From Mariana:
Hi! I'm home now. I'm going to do my homework assignments, then I'll head over to your studio if there's still time. One of them is an essay, and I still suck at Hangul, despite all of Jimin's help. 😅 So, that'll take a while.
4:16 pm
From Min Suga:
I'm more than willing to help you too, just let me know.
Mariana couldn't help but smile at how quickly Suga would reply to her despite the others claiming he was almost impossible to get a hold of.
4:17 pm
From Mariana:
I know. I'll keep you posted. How's the song coming?
She replied as she settled in on her bed with her backpack.
4:18 pm
From Min Suga:
It's coming. I don't know how well I like it yet, but it's coming along.
4:19 pm
From Mariana:
It'll turn out great, I know it will. You have a real talent for music.
She typed and sent before starting to pull books and notes out of her backpack.
4:20 pm
From Min Suga:
So far, you have been nothing but a good luck charm to me. So, I hope you're right.
Mariana's smile grew wider as she read the message. She opened her notebook and grabbed a pencil, typing and sending her reply before she started working on her essay.
4:21 pm
From Mariana:
A good luck charm, huh?
4:22 pm
From Min Suga:
Most definitely. Only good things have come to me, to all of us, since we met you. I think you're really something special. 💜
Mariana bit her lips together in a futile attempt to control her smile.
4:23 pm
From Mariana:
😁😁I love you.
4:23 pm
From Min Suga:
I love you too, my jagiya. 😁💜
4:24
From Mariana:
My Oppa. 😍
It took around forty minutes for Suga to reply due to being busy with his song, and Mariana busily brainstorming away on her essay.
5:05 pm
From Min Suga:
Still studying, Jagiya?
5:08 pm
From Mariana:
Yeah. Almost done with the second page of this essay. The first four are due in three days.
5:10 pm
From Min Suga:
Do you need help? I can come over. I could finish up in the studio tomorrow morning.
5:13 pm
From Mariana:
How good is your Korean history?
5:14 pm
From Min Suga:
I passed in high school.....barely.
Mariana couldn't help but chuckle.
5:18 pm
From Mariana:
Looks like I'm the history nerd in this relationship. 😅
5:20 pm
From Min Suga:
Yeah, it definitely isn't me.
It was about another two hours before Mariana finally closed up her books, finished with all of her assignments, and had three pages of essay done. She quickly put her things back into her backpack before heading to the kitchen spending another 15 minutes making various kinds of instant ramen to take to Suga for dinner since it was getting close to 8:00 at night now. She boxed everything up and put them into an old grocery sack before she grabbed her coat and hurried on her way, wondering if Suga had fallen asleep again like he tended to do.

Mariana punched in the code on the door lock of Suga's studio and walked in with a little smile seeing Suga hard at work, his headphones on, as she closed the door behind her. She took her shoes off, walking around in her socks, and came up behind Suga's chair, flopping her free arm across the back of his chair.
"How's it coming?"
Suga jumped in his chair, yanking his headphones off, quickly flipping his chair around. "Good God....." He started and placed a hand over his heart. "Don't scare me like that." He requested with a nervous chuckle.
"Sorryyy." Mariana apologized, not meaning to scare him that bad. "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Does coffee and a few crackers count??"
"Uh, no. Luckily, Jagiya is here." Mariana said and held up the bag full of different kinds of ramen.
Suga bounced a bit in his chair excitedly, something he'd really only ever do around her. "Awesome! I could definitely eat."
"Good! There's enough ramen in here to feed Jin all day, so help yourself." Mariana said with a smile and set the bag on a side table next to his couch.
"Damn. That's a lot." Suga joked, as he rolled his chair over and started fishing through the bag before pulling out a container of beef ramen.
"As much as I can make quickfire style in 15 minutes." Mariana said with an amused smile as Suga didn't hesitate to grab food. "Beef, Chicken, cheesy, and yakisoba. Dig in."
Mariana grabbed a container of the yakisoba and sat Indian style on one side of the couch as Suga stuffed a bite into his mouth. "How is it? Worthy of Jimin titling me a ramen queen?" She asked and took a bite.
Suga had a few noodles hanging out of his mouth as he looked up at her, eyes wide like a startled puppy. "Mhm." He mumbled through his food.
Mariana bit off the noodles hanging out of her mouth as she smiled, quickly finishing her bite before speaking up. "Good. And that expression was absolutely adorable."
Suga just buried his nose in food, not looking up at her, an indication that he was blushing.
"Saranghaeyooo." Mariana said with a wider smile and took another bite.
Suga huffed before shoving the last bite of ramen in his mouth, his food gone rather quickly, much quicker than usual.
Mariana's brow furrowed in curiosity. "Have you eaten at all today?" She asked, noticing how fast he was going through food, already grabbing a second box.
"Very early this morning after you left. And it was cereal." He stated as he took the lid off of the second box of yakisoba noodles.
"Oppaaa....." Mariana said with a little disappointed pout.
"I got busy....I'm used to it." He reminded.
"You still need to eat SOMETHING other than crackers and coffee all day." Mariana pointed out, her brow scrunching at him in slight frustration. That wasn't near enough nutrition for someone who was on the move as much as he was.
"Don't stare at me like that. I've just been sitting in this chair all day. I had intended on getting real food once I was finished." Suga explained.
"I'm still going to worry about you." Mariana pointed out as her expression softened.
"Yeah, I know." He said with a half-smile. "And I appreciate it, I really do."
Mariana gave him a toothless smile. "Feel better with some real food in your system?"
"Yeah, actually. Thank you." Suga said with a genuine smile.
"You're welcome. I figured you could use a healthy distraction at least once today."
"You're always a healthy distraction....." Suga started and looked at her for a moment. "Oh! You meant the food."
Mariana bit her lips together, stifling a wide smile as she shoved a big bite of noodles into her mouth, knowing Suga was focused on the red tones spreading across her face.
"You're so cute when you blush..... Especially with those chipmunk cheeks. "He teased a bit at her currently puffed up cheeks.
Mariana's face turned even redder as she just stuffed another bite into her mouth, too frazzled to say anything anyway.
"Cuuuuute." Suga sing-songed.
Mariana took another bite, pulling her container a bit closer to herself, prompting Suga to get up and sit next to her on the couch, and nudged her side with his elbow as he chuckled a bit.
"こんにちは." [Hello] She quietly stated, not taking her attention away from her noodles as her Japanese slipped.
"こんばんは." [Good evening.] Suga replied with a smile, taking a bite of his own noodles. "How about we finish these noodles so I can save my progress, and then I'll take you home?"
"Okay." Mariana said with a nod and a smile.
Suga and Mariana sat on the couch and finished their noodles, Suga taking the trash and throwing it away as he got up to sit back in his rolling chair. He clicked a few things on his computer screen as Mariana gathered up the food things, putting them back in the bag. They both put their jackets and face masks on, Suga taking Mariana's free hand in his as he walked with her.
