***************


I miss my Chaewon so much. 

Too bad she needed to be away from me because of her work. It's all for her work. Yeah, I need to think that it's only for work.

Chaewon never forgets to remind me that right after she finished her work there in New York, she'll come back here as soon as possible. She'll come here. For me. For us.

Our relationship was never been that easy, we had fights, misunderstanding and so on. There this time when we both nearly separated, we almost give up on each other and we're so tired. Tired because of everything surrounds us.

But we fought for it. We fought for our love, we can't just let it all go after everything we've been through. Because easy or not, happy or sad, it's always us that finds home in each other's arms.

That until Chaewon left for work, we're miles away now. Twice a week of contacting each other isn't a bad one tho, or at least. Now I can fully understand why people always hated the words long distance relationship. Distance will test you for trust and your patience in waiting. Distance is like a shit for me.

But then again, it was Chaewon that I am waiting. It's Chaewon who's away from me. If it is for her, then I'm willing to wait until whenever. I'm Chaewon's home so I should wait for her. I must wait for her.





"Can you finish it within two hours, Ms. Kim?" Mr. Tyler, our supervisor, asked me.

Do I have a choice? It's my supervisor, our boss here in New York. I need to impress them so our company in Seoul will have them as our investor. We badly need it.

Replying to him, I smiled and took the folders in his hands. He left my desk and I slumped myself at my chair. Frustrated as I am because that two hours was supposed to be my time to call Yena. It was my only free time to see her and check on her through face time. And it's not that she needs to get check up on, okay?... It just that, we're not used to this kind of settlement. This kind of distance. Heck, our timezones aren't even the same. I miss that duck so much.

I checked my phone, 11:19 am, it's already midnight in Seoul. Yena's probably sleeping by now. In the end, I still left a message before starting my things in here.

"I'm sorry for not calling lately, babe. I'll try to call you after work. Promise. I love you."

But to my surprise, my phone received her reply. A smile climbs up to my lips as I saw that. She managed to reply on me even though it's past the time of her sleep.

"I understand that well, Chae. Take care of yourself, okay? Don't be hard on yourself for work and don't forget to sleep! I love you too."

I really really wanna see her now. I'm finding her childishness and her whining whenever I'm so busy for my work. I miss her touches, her smile, her shoulder, her warmth, I miss everything.

But wait, isn't she supposed to be sleeping now? Don't tell me she's in her work? At that hour?

"Ms. Choi, where on earth are you at this time? Don't tell me you're in the bar with Yujin again?"

That duck. She'll be dead if she did something wrong.

"No. I'm still at work. Will probably stay here til morning. Have you eaten your lunch now? And, you only have two months left, right? Can't wait to see you again."
