Ran Haitani. The man had messaged you the night before. Hundreds of times since he said 'I'll be home, soon'. However, there are no signs of him appearing, as if everything he said was just a placation when you thought that he had been gone for too long than the time he said.

He knew he broke his promise, and he would really come this time, his car was parked in front of the house when the two of them had a long nightーletting go of each other's longing.

What a beautiful dream..

Ran woke up first, his phone notifications really tested his patience. His hand reached for his phone on the nightstand, reading all the incoming messages.

"Shit, work is really killing me"

He got out of bed. Grabbed a cigarette and started making a call, with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
