───── ❝ expect ❞ ─────

I woke up and slowly stretched my arms. I immediately opened my eyes not finding the person beside me. I sat up and held the sheets covering me.

"He never left me in bed, but he did, but how can he leave me after last night?"

I whispered and clenched the sheets over my chest and slowly stood up but I felt something soft under my leg.

I looked down to see soft furry slippers and a rose on the table. I picked it up and looked around to see if he was there. I sighed as he was not here. Why did he leave? I didn't like to wake alone in bed.

I pouted and left the rose on the table. I stood up and didn't wear slippers. I got inside the bathroom and washed my face after leaving the sheets.

I looked in the mirror and a blush crept on my face seeing so many love bites on my neck and collarbones.

"Did he do this intentionally?"

I touched it and closed my eyes, feeling him doing it. I covered my face with my palms blushing even thinking about him.

I went towards the shower and turned it on. I slowly let the water run over my body. I closed my eyes and hugged my body feeling him hugging me. I missed him. I chuckled and opened my eyes. I took the soup and rubbed over my body and again my eyes caught the marks he gave me.

"What is wrong with me? Why am I missing him so badly? He shouldn't have left me? Now I am missing him like a crazy woman, I hate him, but I love him,"

I pouted and continued bathing. After some time, I picked the towel wiping my body and put on the bathrobe. I unlocked the door and came outside. I opened the wardrobe and saw a letter on the same box he showed me yesterday. I picked the paper fastly and unfold it.

"Dear Angel,

I am sorry to leave you early in the morning but I have some work. I won't come till night so don't wait for me. Take care and also don't wait at night.. sleep after dinner okay..

I love you, my angel
my love❤️"

I tore the paper and threw the box angrily. How dared him to leave me like that and wow.. he would not come now..

I thought.. we will live together today.. I thought about many things.. but now how will I spend my whole day without him..

I was already missing him. I wiped my tears and gulped hard. I didn't look at the box and took my clothes.

I wore it and dried my hair. I tied my hair and left the room glancing at the box last time.

"I didn't expect this from you.. Taehyung,"

──

"Mrs. Kim, the breakfast is all ready, it just needs to heat," I looked at her and asked.

"Did Taehyung eat it?" She nodded.

"Yeah," I smiled but internally, I was feeling hurt as he didn't even wake me. Atleast, I would be able to see him.

"You can take a leave today and tell all the maids to take a leave," I was about to go.

"No, Mr. Kim will never allow," I glared at her.

"Does my words matter to you?" She panicked.

"It's not like Mrs. Kim──"

"Then leave the mansion fast,"

She left and I slowly knelt down sitting on the floor hugging my knees. Why would I need any maid when he himself left me alone. Is this the feeling of being homeless in your own home?

He really didn't care about me. How can he? Can't he just take a day off for me?

I won't forgive him easily once he comes back. I will show him how it feels to feel alone.

"Thank you mom and dad" I replied when they wished me my birthday.. on the video call.

"Why don't you visit our home, Ask Taehyung,"

"Mom, He isn't at home but will come at night so I will come to your house with Taegi," I knew she might be very happy now.

"Ohh, That's good, You won't feel bored.. so when will you come?" She asked and I looked up.

"Around 2 hours," I said looking at the time.

"Okay, We will be waiting for Taegi──" my jaw dropped.

"Yaah, only Taegi. What about me? I am your child not she,"

"But I love her more than you because she is my child's child," She said and I pouted sadly. Suddenly the thought of Taehyung made me more sad.

"Are you jealous, Then won't be. I love my daughter so much," I bit my lower lip hard.

"Mom, I am busy. Taegi is hungry," I lied.

"Okay, See you soon," I cut the call immediately and closed my eyes, hugging the pillow tightly.

"Where are you, Taehyung?"

I opened my eyes and my eyes became teary as I remembered his letter. He won't come today. I burst into tears and laid down on the couch hugging the pillow near my chest tightly.

No one was home except Taegi. She was sleeping and I was missing him badly. I picked the phone again and dialed his number. I waited for a minute, but he didn't pick it.
