Arrangements of Charlotte's homecoming made Yuna quite busy after she arrived in California on Saturday. She has to stay over for a week or at least until Charlotte stabilizes a bit. Charlotte's husband was a trauma surgeon so staying at leave for a week would be hard for him... hence Yuna was the only one who could do it.

Jungkook hasn't called her for quite some days. Short texts and calls happened for some days after she arrived... but suddenly Jungkook stopped contacting. She was worried at first, arrangements were already quite tiring and all over days were quite stressful and now he stopped calling.

She called him a few times but he did not pick up. Only messages came ' Its midnight here... Let me get some sleep will you?' ...

Yuna became busier taking care of Charlotte, attending her own consultation meetings as well as her own board management.

It had been two days.

No calls. No texts.

Someone, half way across the world, was getting impatient now. He felt something in his chest, feeling of something missing, as if he was not complete. He felt left out. For all these years, few people have been his friends and fewer patient with him. Attention, care, concern ... These months Yuna had been his all.

-I should not be like this. I was alone for all these years why am I feeling like this now? I don't know this thing in my heart. This is something new, something pressurizing but pleasurable at the same time...

-Wait... am I waiting for her...?!! No, this is not what she explained 'waiting' to feel like... She did not explain this. Should I just call h- ohh the time difference... not this... Uhm should I wait for her to call me? She –

HE was puzzled. The heart which never felt, suddenly had a rush of so much through it that he literally felt helpless. His encyclopedia was far away from him... but he just did not realize that the encyclopedia did not answer questions about itself.

His life was She these months. He talked to her, called her, walked with her, gazed at the sunset with her... She made him talk to her if he didn't. He somehow felt her to be so soft and strong at the same time, he could lean onto her and she'll give out a warmth that he never experienced and if he were to fall she would put all of her strength to take him up to the skies. Whenever she was with him, he seemed to be at home. He had never been more comfortable with anyone before her.

He believed in her.

Yuna had become like a habit to the un-feeling Jungkook. He was new, he had no one to tell him now... Yuna could have explained but he just could not make the call. He had the permission to call whenever he wanted, but he never did.

He waited. Waited for her to come back. He wanted to understand her situation... he so wanted to keep in mind that she was busy and was far away from him but.. his mind was all over the place... he could not sit still. He could not help it, more than that he did not know it -

He longed for her presence.

He had fallen in love with this beautiful girl, who was so much more than pretty...without his notice. She was smart. She was funny. She was brave. She did not come from a rosy past yet she smiled everyday and never looked back. She was one lion-hearted girl, as much as he wanted her presence in his life, he felt like he did not deserve her.

He melted...

Though he did not know, but at least he did not confuse this feeling in his stomach as hunger pangs.

Jungkook giggled.

She even made him realise this.. the difference between hunger pangs and having butterflies in his stomach.

The phone rang , half way across the Earth, in California beside a tired and sleeping Yuna.

The first call missed, she was far too tired to even blink at it ringing.

The second call went through. She was so sleepy that she could not properly read the caller id.

'Hello... Who is-'

' Yuna!! Its me Jungkook. You were sleeping right ? Okay just called to make sure. I am well, take good care of yourself, eat properly, go back to sleep , bye.'

The call cut off leaving a puzzled Yuna staring at her phone.

'What was that...' she scoffed a little, bewilderment overtaking her sleepy mind. It was somehow cute though... She flipped her hair back and lay down again, a smile appearing over her tired profile.

Back home Jungkook felt breathless at the speed with which he had just talked to her. But he felt relieved... relieved that he had done what he wanted, just as she told him to do... and he was happy.

 and he was happy
