51 - Rapmonster

Silence. It was something you were quite used to, considering that he was always at work. It didn't really bother you as much before, but now; the silence was almost deadly. You had relied on your friends as well as some of his to keep you sane, but deep inside you knew if wasn't going to last. They had lives too, and they shouldn't be wasting their time on an issue that you could deal with on your own. However, that was easier said than done.

Namjoon, your fiancé, aka Rapmonster; was in the military, fighting for his beloved country. You knew what you were up against, no physical contact, no phone calls, rare video calls and letters. You knew that he could possibly die. But there was nothing you could do about it. No if, ands or buts. The first couple years were okay, they two of you video chatted at least once a week and he always sent letters. But now, there were no more letters nor videos calls. The last time you heard from Namjoon was two months ago, and although it seemed like a short amount of time, it felt like a decade. And you were starting to get worried. Was he alive? Was he ill? Had he lost a limb? The right side of your bed was always empty and cold; an unpleasant reminder that he wasn't there. That he wasn't home. That he could be... gone.

The thoughts faded as you pulled into your drive way. You turned the engine off and rested your head on the steering wheel. Salty tears streamed down your face as realization hit you. It was all too much. You knew you had to be strong, for there could be worse to come. But in small, rare moments like this; you allowed yourself to cry. Wiping your tears, you stepped out of the car and walked up the walk way to your home. Fumbling with the keys, you managed to open the door. Looking in to the house, you froze. The lights were on and the smell of food was coming from the kitchen. Stepping out of your heels, you walked over towards the kitchen quietly. Who the hell was in your house? Suddenly, a head popped out from behind the wall and you jumped back in fear.

"Oh good. Your home. I was starting to become worried about you." That voice... That deep, husky voice. Before you could even speak, he was embracing you in his arms.

"Namjoon..." You melted into his arms. Namjoon placed his hand on your lower back for support and kissed your forehead.

"I know... But I'm here now... It's all over." Placing his fingers underneath your chin, he tilted your head up and brought you in for a passionate kiss.
