Waited long enough

The night grew darker as Yue Ling lay in bed after showering and changing into her sleepwear. She stares up at the ceiling, faintly lit by the moon.

"I can't sleep…."

She had wanted to call Lu Tian and ask where he was but didn't want to be a bother to him. She also didn't want to invade his space since he was on business.

Her eyes flutter not too slow nor too fast before turning to her side. She stares at the empty spot where Lu Tian usually sleeps, and her heart tightens.

She never felt this way when he was with Lee Shin in the past, even after he passed away.

She did miss him, and she even thought she was going crazy because she often saw images of him. However, as the days passed, she came to realize that it was out of comfort for the ten years they'd been together.

But with Lu Tian, she felt different.

It was the kind of feeling that made her feel like the world didn't matter if he wasn't a part of it.
