Destiny

A Surprise Visit

Son Ye Jin POV

My husband schedule is very hectic since we came back from our honeymoon trip. There is a lot of catch up he needs to do after being away for a couple of weeks. Furthermore, the shooting is entering the final month, and the production is going on full force to wrap it up as per plan. These past few weeks, Bin has been coming home very late. He will only reach home around 3-4 in the morning and need to be ready by 10 the following day for his call time. I only managed to see him for a few hours daily. Seeing him working hard like that gives me mixed feelings. I feel proud that he really gave his all in his work, but another part of me feels terrible to see him working with only one day off per week.

Despite his busy schedule, he still makes time for Yerin and me during his off days. He will spend time with us, take us out for dinner, or the very least, take Yerin out to the park. When I told him he should not do that and just rest at home, he said to me that for 6 days, I have been busy taking care of our daughter alone at home, so I deserved a break too. Hence he takes us out, so I don't have to cook and look after our baby. I can't explain in words how such a good husband this man is. Sometimes, I do feel that I don't deserve him.

The water running sound from inside the bathroom wakes me up from my sleep. I get my handphone on the side table, and it shows 10 minutes past 4 am. "Yeobo, are you in there?" I called him out. Loud enough for him to hear but not to wake my daughter.

I heard him turning off the tap, and seconds later, the bathroom door opens. "Did I wake you up? Mihane. Go back to sleep, and I shall join you later." He carefully whispers.

I nod and turn on the lampshade. I check on Yerin's diaper to see if it needs to be changed. Taking the new diaper from the changing table, I changed it, and while doing so, Bin ssi came out from the bathroom after taking his shower.

"Did I wake her up too?" Bin asked while wiping his wet hair with a towel. I shook my head and told him that I just changed the diaper though it's not that wet yet.

Walking in a bathrobe to our wardrobe, he put on his shorts and a sleeveless white tee. "It still early. Let's get more sleep," he said as he climbs on the bed.

I carefully put Yerin on her mattress in between us and lay my head on the pillow. He looks so tired, but he is still smiling, looking at our sleeping princess. I feel so sorry for him for not be able to spend time with our daughter. Seeing him working hard for us and sacrifice his time for work makes me thinking of my old man. It must be hard for my father to spend most of his time at work to give my mom, sister, and me a comfortable life.

"What time is your call time tomorrow?" I asked.

. "Manager Jung will pick me up at 11.30. My call time is at 1pm. Using his left hand, he caressed the side of my face, "You must have been exhausted taking care of Yerin alone. Hang on for another month, and I promise to take you both on holiday."

Running my fingers through his short silky hair, I replied his a sweet smile, "Holidays can wait. You should get your rest first after wrapping up the movie. You didn't get much rest lately."

Even though part of me is proud to have a hardworking husband, but I am worried that this hectic schedule will affect his health because, let's be frank, both of us are not that young. We tend to get tired quickly as we grow older. This fact sometimes makes me regret not having a baby at a younger age.

"Nan gwenchana. Tomorrow will be the last day shoot for the week, and I will get two days to break," he said, that while closing his eyes and less than 5 seconds later, I hear him snoring.

I pull the blanket for him and just smile, watching him sleep. He must be exhausted to fall asleep that easily and snores right away. I am thinking about how I can re-energize him.
