Tick tock...... Tick tock.....

Looking at the wall clock hanging in my office for I don't know how many times in a row now makes me want to jump off this building at this point.

Working has been exhausting for me. Being the famous lawyer in Seoul is really really exhausting for me... I glanced up at the photoframe kept on my table and suddenly smile crepped on my face.

It was me and my husband. 'Gosh I miss him.!! Let me just call him real quick taking a break for five mins won't hurt.. yeah definitely won't hurt' picking up my phone I dialed his number only to be answered by a voicemail 'the number you're calling is currently speaking to someone else you can wait or call again later'

The smile which was plastered on my face swept away by confusion and replaced by a frown. Who's he talking to at this late hour?
I dialed again ignoring the sadness that crept inside my heart but to my utter disappointment it was the same voicemail again.

Frustrated I kept my phone aside and got up to get some fresh air at my office terrace.

As soon as the fresh air started hitting my face i recoiled all the memories of our wedding ,
an unknown smile crept on my face remembering all the love moments between me and my husband ,Lee Minho

From lovers to now a happily married couple.. (Or that's what atleast I thought) a long way we have come.
Suddenly I remember that he did not pick my call up neither called me back. I scurried back to my office as been too long for my 'short 5 min break'

It's currently 1 am I think I should head back home now . This case has been draining all of my strength from me.. at this rate I will look a voldemort struggling with her own job...

I packed up everything and closed my office door where the nameplate hung written in shiney letters said 'KANG Y/N' well after marriage I changed my surname but didn't change it in the nameplate as I liked it that way .

I headed downstairs bowed down to the security wished him a good night and drove back to my house back... Sick and worried why Minho still didn't call me back... Who's he talking with so late night.?

As soon as I reached my house I can see from our bedroom window the lights were turned on.
Confused , he's never awake at this hour even if he is why didn't he pick up my call ...
I went upstairs to our bedroom door only to hear some mumurs who's he talking to ? So late at night...

I pushed open the bedroom doorand it almost looked like he was startled by my presence or as if he wasn't expecting me to come home any soon. But why ??

"Hey babe; you're home early" sounded more like a question rather than a statement anyways, 'early? It's almost 2 babe. ' hurrily he kept the phone aside and came forward to hug me. I wrapped my arms around his torso and let him engulf me. I was really tired and being in his arms relaxed me. "Why didn't you pick up my call? I was worried sick" "sorry baby just office calls" at this hour ? Shrugging it off my eyes landed on the two muffin one half eaten kept on the table

"Babe was someone here ?" I asked pointing towards the muffin kept I swear I saw him hesitate and eyes trembling before he answered
"I was very hungry so thought of grabbing two muffin" LIE!

I can sense lie from a mile away but why would he lie to me.. maybe I am thinking too much from all this stress of work .
He suddenly kissed my forehead "love freshen up and let's head to sleep it's late"

Nodding like an obedient child I waddled myself to bathroom. After all the bedtime routine I came outside and found him sleeping on the bed
Didn't wait for me ? That's unusual... Maybe he's tired too. I crawled on carefully not to wake him up and kissed him goodnight before drifting myself to sleep.

I love him and he loves me
(Maybe that's what I thought)
