Why are you getting father? Can't you see me in your eyes anymore?
- Love Is Not Over

it's work again.

there was no apology this time as i picked up the call, the first ring unable to come to a halt from my desperation.

you're voice is flat and emotionless as you speak.

"late night taehyung. don't wait for me."

i still waited though.

i will always wait for you.

you scolded me for staying awake, reminding me that i would perform poorly at my own office the next morning, meaning that my share of the bills wouldn't be payed for.

i waited for you to scold me about my own health.

you didn't.

that's okay.

you're tired.

you're not in the right mind.

i made you tea before you slept, like usual.

you always loved tea before bed, with your cheeky begs for an additional spoonful of sugar.

you don't say anything as i lower the saucer to the bed side table, dark orbs watching me as i slip in beside you.

your lips are pressed into thin line as you watch me inch closer to you, eyes hardening.

i am afraid that you will tell me to move.

night is one of the precious moments i am given to stay close to you.

a moment i am not eager to let go.

but you don't.

you only frown.

you fall asleep quickly, emitting quiet snores that widen the fond smile on my lips.

night is a moment i am able to witness such beauty up close.

it's a pity though that you don't feel the lips against your forehead and the soft murmur of an 'i love you' as you cascade into the lands of dreams.
