you had your phone pressed to your ear, unintentionally biting your nails in excitement.

“did you eat already?” you asked, walking back and forth, bouncing to each side of the well-lit kitchen.

junkyu's voice replied over the phone. “yeah, i had dinner with the guys.”

you nodded, smiling brightly.

“how about you, honey?” junkyu asked, his voice, though was only able to be heard over the phone, was soft and comforting. “did you eat yet?”

“yeah, i did.”

you both haven't meet for like four weeks now, he had non-stop promotions and was living at the dorm for convenience. but you had been with your members keeping you company so you wouldn't say you were alone but still the void which junkyu filled was hollow. you two were only able to meet online, face timing, calling, and texting, so his return was a big event for you. you were extremely excited to have him home.

you couldn't tell if junkyu was as excited as you were. he sounded happy to finally get a good break, well, that was all you could observe.

whatever the case, you were just happy to have your boyfriend back and someone to hold you during the cold nights. the thought of it was thrilling and your stomach was already getting butterflies.

“okay, i'll be home soon,” junkyu said, sounding somewhat expectant.

“alright, see you at home,” you said. you hesitated for a bit afterward but then added, “i love you.”

you could hear junkyu's signature giggles, soft and cute little ‘hehe’s.

“love you too.”

to distract yourself from the dread of waiting, you did some work on your laptop while sitting on the plain navy sofa. your feet tapped against the black carpet below with cute cat paws. you were supposed to be working on the lyrics but you thought more about junkyu than about your work.

you continued to wonder if he was happy and excited to meet you. you wondered if he was healthy. you wondered if he was sleepy. your thoughts were racing.

you couldn't stand silence so you had “hug” playing in the background of your laptop but since you were so caught up in your thoughts, you couldn't even focus on the music. your lips were suppressing a smile and your hands clenched your oversized sweater.

just then, disturbing your thoughts, the doorbell rang. you jumped, closing your laptop immediately. you quickly patted out your clothes to make them look a bit neater. then, you practically ran for the door.

when you opened it, you nearly jumped out of joy, seeing your boyfriend standing there. he was wearing an oversized t-shirt, a black mask, and a black bucket hat. it was a coincidence but the fact that you two wore oversized tops made you smile.

you looked into junkyu's hands, not saying a word. junkyu was silent too, standing at the doorway with a bag.

quietly, he took off his black mask, revealing a gentle, happy, and genuine smile. you took a small step back, waiting as he stepped inside the house.

your boyfriend took off his shoes, closing the door behind him, bringing the duffel bag he was holding inside as well. you just looked at your boyfriend's every move, your eyes sparkling, holding the reflection of the galaxy.
