Thinking about you
How many weeks has it been since she last saw him? Almost 5. 5 damn weeks and he promised her that he would be home within 2 weeks. She isn’t the type to worry but there is a point where her worries will eat at her and she won’t sleep for days. Geraldine wasn’t sure what to do anymore. He wasn’t answering her calls or texts messages and his friends were not in touch either. She was left alone and full of worry that she might just explode into pieces.
Geraldine did not sign up for this when she said yes to date him, but she could not help it. He was just so perfect in everywhere and even his flaws were perfect. There were times that she would be angry and annoyed at how childish he would get, but that’s Jung Daehyun for you. He’s the loud, obnoxious, caring, dorky lover she could ever ask for.
But there was a dark side that she was not aware of. Geraldine knew that Daehyun’s work would always have him home late and every time she would ask about it, he would shrug it off and tell her it is just office work. But what kind of office work would make him stay away for over 5 weeks? She was used to him gone for up to 2 weeks, but never over that. She began to question why on earth she is still with him if he isn’t near her half the time.
No matter what worry Geraldine has in her mind, he would always the top on the list. She would wonder if he was thinking about her as well. But she couldn’t get that answer, frankly because he didn’t return any of her calls.
The nights grew even longer and emptier since Daehyun has been gone. Geraldine would find a way to not make it lonely or empty, but alas, she would lay in darkness alone. There were times that she would cry because she missed him. She missed his hugs, his warmth, his smiles, his laughs. She missed the times where he would joke around and then earn a punch to the gut. She missed the moments where Daehyun would whine about his favorite cheesecake gone missing or refusing to go on the roller coaster. All the things that he would do made her miss him so much. It ached her heart when she would think about him. It ached her so much that she just wished that he would stopped whatever work he was doing and just come back to her arms.
This night was no different from the other nights. Geraldine was alone again with nothing but her pillows and stuffed animals to keep her company. She left her phone on and prayed for any sign of Daehyun being okay. When he does come back, she is going to have a long talk with him and make him come clean about his ‘job’.
On the verge of sleepiness, Geraldine nearly closed her eyes when a soft tune played from her phone. She lifted her head and scrambled to find her phone in the mess of pillows she piled. When she finally found her phone, her eyes widen and her heart raced. It was Daehyun. He was finally calling her. Finally she would get to hear his voice.
“Hello?” Geraldine hesitated to answer.
“Gren.” His voice was honey and she could not stop smiling. She missed his voice so much.
“Dae.. are you okay? Is everything okay? When can you come back home?” Geraldine rushed out the questions that she constantly worried about.
Daehyun chuckled and she could tell he was glad to hear her. “Yeah I’m okay. I’m sorry for not returning all your calls. Work is very heavy. I’m sorry.”
“I bet. Your work is always heavy.” Geraldine scoffed. She could not hide the happiness of talking to him again.
“It is.”
“When will you be back?” she asked again. Her happiness slowed down and her worries came back.
“I.. hopefully in a few days.” Geraldine could hear his uncertainty and it pained her. Just how many more days can she take with him gone?
“Please come home soon. I miss you so much.” Geraldine held back her cries. The last thing she wanted him to hear was her sobbing onto the phone.
“I miss you too. There isn’t a day where I can’t stop thinking about you. It hurts me because I can’t have you here in my arms.” This time Geraldine could hear him holding back his cries. Though she knew that Daehyun isn’t the type to cry right away, he is a man after all. But he does like to show his emotions a lot.
“Then hurry back home. I’m lonely and sad and annoyed that you’re not here.” Geraldine pouted without realizing it.
“I’ll try. I’ll make it home soon. I promise Gren. I miss you babe.” Daehyun smiled on his end. Geraldine smiled too and for a moment she forget her worries and just prayed for everything that is holy for him to just come back safe to her.
“Okay. Goodnight Dae.”
“Goodnight love.”

Nearly a week has passed since that night call and Daehyun is still not home. Geraldine started to have her worries grow once again and she became impatient. Please God, let him come back to her in one piece.
Soon it became 1 in the afternoon and Geraldine grew restless that she felt her eyes grow heavy. She must be stressed for her body to shut down on her. She sat on the couch and watched the door, hoping for Daehyun to walk through them. However much energy she had did not help her and she was losing conscious. She was so, so, so sleepy. She lost to her body’s functions and she closed her eyes. Maybe he’ll be home when she wakes up.

Daehyun cursed inwardly at himself. He is such a failure as a boyfriend. He promised that he’ll be home within 2 weeks, but that became 5. He promised that he’ll be back in a few days but it was nearing a week. He did finish his mission and prayed that she would still be at home. She was everything to him, everything that he wanted and needed. Daehyun needed nothing more than just the sweet kisses and warm hugs from her.
The moment his boss said he was free to go after his mission, Daehyun raced to his phone and called Geraldine to tell her that he was coming home. He could not wait to see her for she was all he ever thought about. But then things happened and his ride home was delayed for a few more days. Daehyun got the job done and he rushed home without a care if he was still in his suit. He just wanted to see her.
And now here he was, standing in front of the door to their home. He fumbled with the keys and groaned in frustration. Daehyun never knew how much she meant to him and how much she missed him. Only this damn door stood in his way.
The moment he opened the door, he was about to scream out that he was home but stopped himself. She would probably throw something at him and he didn’t want that. Instead, he closed the door softly and looked around to see if she was around. Daehyun smiled widely seeing her sleeping peacefully on the couch. She was still here. She still loved him.
Daehyun kicked off his shoes and he slid off his suit jacket, it was bothersome. He walked towards the sleeping princess and kneeled down. He studied her face and how perfect she looked. She is still the same and nothing has changed. Well, her hair must have gotten long. But overall, Daehyun could not stop thinking about her and he was glad she didn’t change.
He brushed off the hair that has fallen onto her face and he let out a sight of bliss. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed her lips softly. He missed her lips and how they mold perfectly against his. Daehyun leaned back and frowned. One kiss wasn’t enough. He leaned forward again and kissed her move, maybe it will wake her up and hopefully he won’t get a punch to the stomach. And it did.
Geraldine stirred in her sleep and felt annoyed at whatever was picking at her lips. She was going to punch the daylights of whatever it was. Slowly, Geraldine opened her eyes and she froze. Daehyun was in front of her with that stupid smile. She felt like she was dreaming but she knew this was real. In a flash, Geraldine threw her arms around his neck and she let her tears pour out. She missed him so much and he was here. He was here. All those days where she thought about him and if he was okay were gone. He was here now.
“Daehyun!!!” Geraldine sobbed. She was filled to the brim with emotions that she did not what to do but just hug him.
“Gren.. I’m home.” Daehyun said with bliss. He was home where he belong. Right in her arms.
