I hesitated to call my mom. Whenever I hear her voice I just get so sad , I love her so much and seeing her, hearing her just makes me so happy and so sad .

I hardly ever spend time with her and my dad so whenever I do see them I make sure to make it a long stay.

I dialed her number. She's the only person in my whole contacts that I know the number of ,not even my dad's.

It rang twice and I thought she was probably busy or sleeping.

"Hello baby? " She said in this motherly voice.

"You still call me 'baby' at my grown age?"I said as I giggled and sat on the side of the bed.

"I told you already I will call you that until you are old and grey and I still call your brother Hyunnie" She said as we laughed . "How are you doing Baby ? Did you eat?"

"I'm doing good mom, it's every nice here but I'm just very busy, " I sat thinking if I ate since this morning " I didn't have time to eat but I'm about to order something."

"You better eat something ! I don't want half of my daughter coming back to Korea!-"

"Is that Y/n?" My dad asked from afar. "Y/n?! I hope you doing good , Dad misses you "

The tears started to well up in my eyes but I need to keep myself strong, "I'm doing good, Dad . I miss you too" I struggle to keep my tears back.

A knock came from my door and I opened up to see that it's Hoseok!

I froze in place ,my phone to my ear and my eye on him. I panic as he watched me . I quickly wave him inside and tell him to close the door.

"Did you hear what I said?" My mom asked over the phone as I walked back to sit on the bed .

"Sorry Mom, can you repeat that?" I said as I watched Hoseok stand at the door watching me.

"I said 'you can tell your Dad you miss him but not me.' " my mom sounded offened.

"It's because I'm her favorite parent , it's a father daughter thing. You wouldn't understand." My Dad said proudly, probably to piss my mom off.

I laughed as they argued of who is my favorite. "How could I have a favorite parent? I love both of you. I miss you soo much Mom"

"I miss you soo much too my baby. I want you take care of yourself. I want you to stay healthy. I want you to remember to eat no matter how hard you work . I want you to stay the happy girl that you are and the wonderful woman you've become," her voice cracked and my tears started to fall. "I want the best for you sweetheart and Mommy loves you so much, okay?"

I let my tears drop trying not to be too verbal with my sobbing . I cleared my throat and calmed myself a bit. "I love you too Mom, I'm so thankful for you. I have to go my food just arrived "

"Okay . Call me whenever you have time ,okay ? Goodbye "

"Yes ,Mom . I will , Goodnight" I hung up the phone and covered my face with my hands , just crying audibly.

I felt arms around me and he squeezed me gently between them . I removed my hands from my face and let if fall to my sides.

I realize that Hoseok was hugging me. I stood up and moved his arms .

"You don't need to do that." I said with my cheeks wet with tears .

He looked at me in the eyes and used the back of his index finger to wipe my tears from my cheeks but they kept falling.

He placed my head under his chin and hugged me again. I wrapped my arms around his waist and I let all my tears out as I clung tightly onto him . I couldn't hold it anymore. I kept thinking of my dad that would hold me whenever I got hurt and he would hold me until I fell asleep .

He squeezed me not too tightly but just enough to let me know that his here for me. He rubbed my back as I was sobbing into his chest.

"Should I get you something to eat?"He said, he probably heard what my mother told me. I was actually very hungry.

"Yes please" I said as looked at him while still in his arms. I don't want this hug to end.

I put my head back on his chest, no longer crying but just enjoying being held. He smelled of burnt Amber and sweet vanilla.

We stood embraced for a while longer . I closed my eyes just clearing my head , feeling completely safe in his arms .

This can't happen anymore. I'm afraid that if we keep holding each other this - whatever this is - is going to be more that just a hug. It's nice to feel comforted but I might just fall for him even if he just sees me as a crying girl .

I moved his arms from around me and pushed him a little . I sat on the bed , my eyes glued to the floor.

"I'm fine now , I'll get something to eat later." I said as I slowly raised my head to look at him.

"Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it?" He asked as he sat next to me on the bed .

"No it's okay , I was just on a call with my mom and dad. I just ... I miss them so much and I hardly ever make time for them, and I know it's going to bite me in the ass one day but whenever I get busy , it completely slips from my mind until I can think clearly but I don't want it to be that way , you know? I want to make time for them no matter how busy I am but it's so hard." I said as I felt the tears come back up and and I lowered my head .

Hoseok noticed this and wrapped his arms around me again and rubbing my back. "It's okay. You don't need to explain. "

He kept repeating the movement of the hand on my back. "I know how you feel, I always try to be happy for the people around me on a daily basis that when I actually go home to my family , I feel so drained and numb that I can't pretend to be happy with them. I know I worry them a lot but I feel like I'm wired like that ." He said as he let his chest rise and fall .

I didn't say anything . I just tightened my grip around him as we sat there in comfortable silence.

I want to stop this so that I don't feel something more but right now , in this moment, I'm embracing him . He needs this just as much as I do.
