Your Girlfriend 《KTH》✓

38. Jet Lag

I was about to sleep - since it was pretty late - when I checked my katalk for the last time.
⠀
⠀
"OH! He's up!" I shriek as I saw him start replying my previous text messages.
⠀
⠀
Should I make a call? But he might still busy? Or maybe still in the bed? About to clean up? Or maybe about to breakfast?
⠀
⠀
I gasp when my phone vibrate, he's calling me through kakao talk!
⠀
⠀
"Tae~!" I said as soon as I slide the answer button. Suddenly my drowsiness faded away.
⠀
⠀
"Baby bear! You're still up? Did I awake you?"
⠀
⠀
"No. I was about to sleep when I saw you replying. Then I was hesitated if I should call you or not, but it turned out you did it first."
⠀
⠀
"Same. I was worried if I disturb your sleep too. I want to tell you to go to sleep right now but half of me also want to talk to you a bit more. I'm sorry that I can't wake up earlier to call you."
⠀
⠀
Yes, right now he's in L.A and the timezone is always making us crazy no matter how often he go there. His tight schedule makes him usually sleep at dawn and wake up a bit late, which means it's midnight in here, while I also have to work tomorrow morning.
⠀
⠀
"It's alright, my drowsiness suddenly faded away when I hear your voice. Please don't apologize. You slept ate last night. Now tell me, did you sleep well?"
⠀
⠀
"Yes. I sleep well. Not very well, because you're not here." he replied and I can picture his pouting lips in my head. "But I rest enough, so don't worry. How about you? How's your day?"
⠀
⠀
"Very good! You know, I saw two rainbows today on my way home!"
⠀
⠀
"... why are you so cute baby bear? You're so happy because you saw two rainbows?" He chuckles and I pouted.
⠀
⠀
"Of course. It's so rare to witnessed 2 rainbows in the same time and same place! They're so beautiful. I feel so warm and happy just by staring at it."
⠀
⠀
"Alright. Alright. Stop pouting the lips that I missed."
⠀
⠀
"Y-yah~!"
⠀
⠀
"What? I missed your morning kiss."
⠀
⠀
"Alright. Alright. Stop pouting the lips that I missed." I imitated his sentence and he laugh.
⠀
⠀
"But baby bear, it's almost midnight there. You should go rest."
⠀
⠀
"But I still missed you."
⠀
⠀
"But you have to take care of yourself for me. I don't want my baby bear get sick. I'm not there to take care of you."
⠀
⠀
"I won't get sick just by stay up late. But if you have to hung up the call then just do it. I'll be alright." I said, don't want to burden him to keep talking to me. He might have something to do.
⠀
⠀
"N-no. I don't mean in that way baby bear. Don't get mad. I just worr-"
⠀
⠀
"Baby lion, I'm not mad." I chuckles. "I just don't want to burden you just for talking to me. I know you are so busy."
⠀
⠀
"Nah currently we're waiting for the car. So that's okay... oh sorry baby, the car just arrived. I gotta go."
⠀
⠀
"That's okay. Don't skip meal! I'll go to sleep as well so my baby lion won't worry more. Have fun and enjoy your day!"
⠀
⠀
"Thank you. Good night, sleep tight and dream of me! I love you!"
⠀
⠀
"I love you too!"
⠀
⠀
I hung up the call with happiness and warmness on my heart. And again, right when I'm about to exit the app, he send me a sticker and a text.
⠀
⠀
'Because I forgot to kiss you good night!'
⠀
⠀
He sent a kissing sticker and makes a kissing sound on his text.
⠀
⠀
Sigh, I will miss this baby lion a lot.
