The moment I became alone, it was very difficult for me.

-Aurora (오로라)

2018. 06. 26.

Another month and a week have passed by. As time goes by we're getting farther and farther. It's getting harder and harder for us to meet. Our schedule is so messed up. School is stressing me out. It's to the point where I need to skip some of my classes to be with him. Not just one class but a few classes. I admit skipping classes, it's not good but it was the only way for us to be together. I have so many things to do and I need to keep up with the lessons I missed when we were together.

It was on a Monday afternoon. I was about to get ready to go out and have some lunch outside when my phone started ringing.

"오로라야 (Aurora-ya)," picking up the call the voice I missed so much greeted me.

"어 성화씨? (Eo Seonghwa-ssi?)"

"너 오늘 시간 있니? [Are you free today?]"

I shifted on my seat, "내가 온다고 하면 넌 여기 있을 거야? [Will you be here if I said I am?]"

"물론 네가 그렇다면 나도 그렇다 [Of course I am if you are]."

"시간 있어? [You're free?]" I asked surprised, I didn't see that coming.

"네 (Neh), I'm free today," assuring me.

The second I heard him said he was free, I couldn't stop my mouth from what I said next, "나는 오늘 할 일이 없다 [I have nothing to do today]."

"어, 그래? 그럼 20분 후에 갈게 [Oh, is that so? Then I'll be there in twenty minutes]."

"네 [Okay]," I replied. "점심은 먹었니? [Have you eaten lunch?]"

"아니, 아직 아니야 [No, not yet]."

"네가 마침내 여기 왔을 때 점심을 먹자 [Let's eat lunch when you're finally here]."

"알았어, 지금 갈게 [Alright, I'll go now]."

"넵, 빨리 (Nep, bballi)," I heard him softly chuckled.

"빠빠이 [Byebye]."

I turned off the call after saying goodbye, "빠빠이 [Byebye]."

It was not even twenty minutes when the doorbell in my apartment rang. A smile made its way on my lips, I already knew who it was on the other side of my door. Seonghwa.

I wasted no time and hurriedly went to my front door to open it. The moment I opened it, there was Seonghwa, standing outside. My eyes didn't miss the time when his eyes lit up when he saw me. I engulfed him in a hug tipping on my toes to wrap both of my arms around his neck. I felt the vibration when lowly chuckled. He went inside my apartment closing the front door while I was still all over him. The familiar scent of his woody perfume filled my nose, the perfume I love and I miss so much. It's been a while since I smell his perfume on his clothes, "성화씨 보고 싶었어요 (Seonghwa-ssi bogo sipeosseoyo)," I mumbled snuggling my face on his neck.

"보고 싶었어요 (Bogo sipeosseoyo)," he said quietly beside my ear, telling me he also missed me while hugging me tightly. It's been like forever since the last time I was in his arms, my favorite spot. I then felt him placed a kiss on my left cheek.
