Your eyes go to the tv then to the phone in your hand and back to the tv and it keeps repeating several times. Unconsciously you bit your lower lip, hiding the strange feeling that has been surrounding your heart lately. You should be smiling, holding a lightstick in your hand, with a banner containing a photo of an idol who is also your boyfriend. You're always like that every time you watch a concert, even though you can't watch it live for the sake of your privacy and security. But now you're even holding back from shedding tears. What is wrong?
You just missed him so much, you guess. This isn't the first time he's left you because of his super busy schedule, nor is it the first time you've been left alone in your favorite month. Hey, it's February. The most important month for you in every year. And your boyfriend has been gone since the end of last month which means he missed your birthday earlier this month. Even though he has apologized many times via video calls and even asked his agency to send a special gift for you, and you also understand that because this is all due to work, you still hope that he will come home before Valentine.
You already imagined spending all day in his arms. Cuddling while watching netflix, asking him to have a private concert just for you, or making his favorite strawberry cake. You've already imagined how he will hug you while uttering flirtatious words as soon as you buy him a kilogram of strawberries. And don't forget your red face every time he calls you his strawberry, just because it's his favorite fruit and you're his favorite person.
And hopefully, what you imagine will actually happen.
Exploration's last concert was over, which meant he would be home soon. You can't hide your fun and send him a message right away. To congratulate him as well as send dozens of heart emoticons that describe how much you miss his presence.
You
Hi famous boyfriend How are you? Are you tired? Because I'm tired of missing you.
kyoong<3
Aww... since when did my baby learn to flirt with people?
You
Since you weren't around to flirt me :( Are you coming home soon?
kyoong<3
As soon as we finished our fanmeet with Eris
You
I am one of the Eris, and I want to meet you.
kyoong<3
I know baby, just wait a little longer and you'll have me an entire day.
You didn't reply to his last message. You knew this was going to happen but you still got annoyed, a little. You fully understand the fact that he is an idol who has many fans, and you also know how hard it is to love someone who is loved by many.
You ruffled your hair, annoyed with yourself. You've been acting really selfish lately and you're aware of it. Even your boyfriend has to make video calls repeatedly while apologizing. Imagining his tired face every time you video call makes you feel so guilty. Until suddenly the ringing of your phone brings you back to reality. Your boyfriend's name appears on the screen and asks for permission to make a video call. You smiled a little, then glanced at the mirror in the corner of the room and slightly tidied your messy hair before quickly answering the phone.
"Is my baby upset?" He asked you with his mischievous smile.
You couldn't make the slightest sound and chose to shook your head slowly. Ah, that tired face again. The face you hate the most, a tired expression mixed with worry. You hate him so much, especially once you realize that you are the reason for his worries.
You closed your eyes, took a deep breath before finally saying,
"I'm sorry."
And the tears ran down your cheeks as soon as the words came out.
He was quite surprised by your sudden crying state, then he tried his best to lighten your mood, "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. Please don't cry. Do you miss me that much?"
You wiped your tears with your sleeve, then nodded quickly. Make him chuckle with your response.
"Aw, I miss you too. and I promise that I'll be home before Valentine's Day. I Miss your strawberry shortcake. And I miss you especially."
You smiled widely, feeling warm as if half the burden of your life had just disappeared. "You better keep your word! Or I won't buy you a single strawberry."
You said excitedly, before you finally realized the selfishness in your sentence. "Eh, if you're tired, you don't have to hurry home. You can take a rest there."
He put on the most reassuring smile you'll ever see while he was gone, "You are my rest, love." And his smile looks even more amazing as you are the reason he smiles.

Cold night, on Valentine's Day.
It sucks that no one could give you a warm hug. Not even your boyfriend. You don't even know where he is now. You're sitting alone on the balcony of your sharing apartment. With a strawberry cake that you specially made to surprise him when he came, but he didn't come.
You don't cry, like what happened on your birthday 12 days ago, you're also not upset like the last time you had a video call and he promised to come home right on Valentine's Day. You are just silent, enjoying the cold night air while looking up at the sky. The laptop beside you plays a special playlist that you fill with Baekhyun's songs. As if adjusting your situation, her beautiful voice in the song 'stars' accompanies you who are admiring the collection of stars scattered in the sky.
My mind is empty when we can't meet I go back into my memory playback I can't count how many times I have thought back to those days...
You closed your eyes, trying to appreciate his voice, imagining that he was really beside you.
Hey, we'll meet again If you are happy (one more time), Let me take the wheel tonight...
You flinched as soon as you felt a pair of arms wrap around you. You take a deep breath as soon as you smell your favorite scent, the scent you've been missing for the past two weeks. The roar of his warm breath touched the skin of your neck, making your body shiver instantly.
When you want to cry, when you want to smile. Don't just embrace yourself alone alright just stretch out your arm in front of you, I won't let you go...
Baekhyun's voice, which is right next to your ear, sounds so perfect with the sound of music from your laptop. You blinked a few times, making sure this wasn't a dream. He who noticed your action chuckled while kissing your back shoulder. "If I'm right, well, this isn't a dream. Happy Valentine my stars."
