Classic 28

That thought keeps me awake the whole night.

"Why? Is there a problem?"
"O-oppa..."
"Why? You will miss me?"

I lean my head on his shoulder. Today he ask me to come over to his studio.

"There is something bothering you right? Tell me what is it."

I don't want him to worry anymore.

"It's nothing. It's just... I will miss you."

He's other hand busy writing while the other holds mine. I can't help but to stare at him. I wonder if we can really make it. I don't want to doubt you or what we have. I just don't like the feeling and thoughts that has been running through my mind.

"Quit staring."
"Why?"

He smiled.

I can still vividly picture that day as if it happens yesterday.

And today is suppose to be our 100th day!

Unfortunately, he was still in the middle of his training. 2 weeks left before his completion ceremony.

"Yujin let's date later after work? Deal?"
"Ya! Doesn't mean Ilhoon isn't around I will be your rebound. Your treat?"
"Yes!"
"Deal."

He just left two weeks ago but it feels like a month already. I can still remember when he drops by our place on the day of his enlistment.

"Ya! What are you doing here? What if..."

He didn't say anything instead he hugged me tight.

"You will wait for me right?"
"Hmm"
"Please wait for me."
"Hmm"

I can hear his voice cracking. This isn't the Ilhoon that I know. No matter how heavy the atmosphere he tries to lighten it up. Maybe this time I need to be the one who is stronger.

I broke the hug and cup his face.

"I will wait for you no matter how long just do your best to come back healthy. Okay?"

He nodded.

"I promise to..."
"Shhh don't promise me anything. You just need to comeback."

"I love you."
"I love you too."

Enough of reminiscing. I'm just missing him more today. Sigh. What should I do?

"Gurl, we can go out early since we have finished these documents. So let's go?"
"Okay!"

"Ya! I'm your date today but your attention is on the phone."

Since earlier she keeps on texting someone. Never seen her like this before.

"Look at you! That is the effect of spending too much time with your boyfriend."
"W-what?"

Then she pulled me at the clothing store.

"Areum come here try this one."
"Why?"
"Just try it."

Can't stop her anymore so I just follow whatever she says.

"How is it?"
"Perfect. Okay! We'll take this one."
"Okay?"
"Where are you going?"
"I am going to change."
"Don't. Wear it."
"Why?"

As if she never heard me.

"Thank you!"

And right now she is dragging me.

"Ya! I should have wear this some other time."
"No. Today is the perfect day. Since I am your date..."
"I think I regret asking you out. Now where are we going?"
"Secret."
