Chapter 26: Through His Audios

Jung Haneul's POV

How long has it been since we shared the same bed? And no, not just him and me merely being beside each other but him actually being awake and talking with me while we cuddle? How long has it even been since we had an hour or more of conversation?

I can't exactly remember. A few weeks ago? A month or more? I have no idea. I just came to realize that as his popularity grew even bigger, we're also slowly growing apart.  Though it is not in the sense of the feeling of love ㅡ I mean, I still love him the same way ㅡ but we have grown so much apart to how we used to be when we started. I thought his debut and the compromised time of us together was already that, but there's actually more to it now that he's gained more popularity.

I mean, he's just living next door yet it feels like we're in a long distance relationship. I don't even sleep with him at least once every week anymore since I feel like it's really no use being that I am already asleep when he goes home and he is still asleep when I wake up or he needs to leave early for a shoot. I still do sleep with him though, but probably in a month, it only happens twice.

He feels so close yet so far.

Oftentimes now, we converse through the phone while video calling each other. The video call doesn't even last for thirty minutes. Also, if not a call, we would just text each other during our free time, but oftentimes he responds to me an hour or so later.

I did say that I won't ask for his time given that I am aware of how packed idols' schedules are, and I have never done that so far, but I still can't help but miss him.

But who am I to complain? He's tired from work, and the best thing that I can do is just to understand him and be there for him. It would be selfish of me to demand his time and attention knowing all too well how stressful and packed his schedule is. I know he is trying his best though, and that's somehow enough to make me feel relieved.

He's busy with his upcoming comeback along with preparing for the world tour family concert of their company. He had informed me that weeks after his comeback and promotion, the concert will start here in the country before they go around the world.

I just really miss his warmth, his cuddles ㅡ everything about his active presence on my side. I just miss him more and more each day, but all I could do is just be there, wait for him, and support him.

I sighed, finally averting my eyes on the ceiling after thinking about him again. I just decided to use my phone and pass time by using my social media accounts, hoping that sleep will come and visit me as soon as possible.

My phone chimed and vibrated a few minutes later because of a text message. My body almost jumped out of excitement, expecting the message to come from Namjoon who I texted an hour ago but my excitement fell along with my smile after seeing the person's name. Instead, I felt confused as to why Jimin is texting me at this time of the night.

It isn't that late, but I never really receive text messages from anyone past the time of 8 besides Namjoon which is why I was expecting that the message was from him.

Jimin:
Hey.
Are you still up?

Me:
Yup. Why?

Jimin:
I'm bored. You wanna hang out?

Me:
Just go to sleep. You need that for growth.
