Thirty days.
It's been thirty days since the last time Jinyoung spent his night with Jaebum.

Thirty days.

How did it go?

You know, sometimes.. things don't go as what we expected.

.

"Hyung", the bedroom door opened, the little brother walked in to find the person sitting next to the huge glass window, staring at the dancing leaves.

"Eat something. Your flight is in two hours, we gotta go" he sat on the edge of the bed.

The person he was talking to, didn't even budge. Not making any single move but he was sure heard his brother.

"Hyung.." Hyunjin called again.

No answer.

"Until when are you gonna stay like this? In fact- why are you even acting like this? You're free now"

"Hyunjin-" he exhaled, lowering his head.

"I don't get it hyung. You were saying A and now act like Z. You said you want to divorce him. You said you can't stand him. You said you hate him. Why are you acting like you're not happy that now you are finally freed yourself from him?"

Jinyoung turned around, looked at his brother and smiled. He could see clearly the worries carved on his brother's face. He could sense that his brother's intention was good- to free him. But in the end, this was not like what he wanted to be...

He felt empty.

.

Jaebum woke up to the sound of his alarm.
8 a.m.

"Ugh" he groaned then took his time to stretch his stiff body. He slowly opened his eyes and welcomed the warm sunlight penetrating through the window to hug him.

Warmth.

It's what he missed. It didn't feel that cold anymore when the sun gave him its light.

He felt grateful that the sun was still there for him...

Cause he lost his warmth thirty days ago.

Jaebum got up then went to the bathroom to wash his face before having his breakfast downstairs.

As he stepped down the stairs, it's still weird that the house was so quiet. Thirty days ago there was someone else living in the house. There was someone elese presence in that fancy apartment.

... and that someone is no longer there with him.

Lazily made his way to the kitchen, he cooked a breakfast just for himself. One plate. One dish. Just like how it used to be. Just like how he had his breakfast even when that person was there.

He was actually used to that already. He really was accustomed to this way of living but there's just something different about it now... it felt wrong.

He glanced at the clock and it showed that he still got the time before his flight to Jeju to meet his client.

It's been thirty days.. he supposed to not feel like this anymore. But why did it feel like he has no power to just eat and continue living his life like how it used to be.

.

Jaebum woke up with his wife in his embrace. Sleeping peacefully. Safe and sound.

The face.. looked so soft...
The hair.. every strands of it looked so smooth..
The closing eyes.. probably he was dreaming about a happiness he's been wishing to have.
The slightly parted lips... oh how he wished he could kiss them before he leave..
