You were so preoccupied with taking care of your children that you were on the brink of forgetting that your incredible and handsome wife, Shin Ryujin, was still missing. Your wife was out at a bar with her co-workers as a celebration for her successful presentation that day.

You expected that your wife would not be out too late, nor would she be drunk returning her way home. You entrusted her with the hang-out by default.

Your zone-out came to a halt as one of your daughters tapped your shoulder. It prompted you to jolt your head back up, turning to your endearing child. You deeply inhaled, "Yes, baby?" then groaned. You pulled out your arm to embrace your girl from the rib-cage, holding her closer.

"Where's Mommy?" your daughter asked you. As your gazes locked, your expression soon mirrored hers: a disappointed but saddened one. She planted her hands onto your thigh, crawling into your lap. "Is she still working?" she asked again, her voice utterly adorable.

You rubbed your droopy eyes out in hopes to prop them back up. You grunted, "Yes, darling... She's out with friends," you informed her in a thick, groggy voice. You stretched your spine, whining as you did.

"Well, I miss her! You won't play with me—she probably will," your daughter complained. "And (Younger daughter's name) won't play with me 'cause she's too—"

"Hey," you sternly and abruptly cut her off. "C'mon, (Older daughter's name), don't be rude to your sister..." you reminded her, taking notes of your daughter's dissatisfaction. "How about you go try and play with her again?" you reasonably suggested. Your offer did not seem convincing to her.

Whining, your daughter's words elongated, "No... we want Mommy." She continuously dragged and pulled on your shirt. She pouted her lips, whimpering like she was going to cry.

You sighed in exhaustion. You rubbed your daughter's back and reassured her, "Fine, I'll call her, all right? That way, we'll see how she's doing and... when she'll come home." You nodded your head, silently agreeing to yourself that this should have been completed earlier.

You miss the presence of your beloved wife more than words can express. It has been an extended period since you last laid eyes on her in person, and the yearning in your heart grows stronger with each passing hour. Deep down, you understand that she treasures your marriage just as deeply as you do. However, the desire to have her by your side every moment of every day consumes your thoughts, or so you believe.

You long for your wife's special reassurement. Despite her doubts about the fact that you love her more, she cherishes you just as profoundly. The thing that truly fascinates her heart is receiving the chance to present you with guidance and support, a role she adores. To fulfill your constant desires, you hope the mere sound of her voice would bring resolution.

You whipped your phone out and immediately went to your favorites. The only person on that list was your wife, so you rang her up. You propped the phone to your ear.

Your daughter's doe eyes sent you into a bliss, although the anticipation already had strucken you into joy; you knew your wife would excuse any manner to answer your call. Simply revolving your head around it, you could not contain your amusement. Your face only grew into a bright, wide smile as it had registered to you that your wife almost instantaneously accepted the call.

"Hello? Baby?" your wife squealed a nickname into the phone. She expressed thrill, and you could even tell over the phone.

"Ah, Ryujinie?!" your voice was laced with excitement, just as equivalent to hers. "I was just—"
