A melancholic one shot inspired by Merrill Glass poem, But You Didn't...
But You Didn't by Merrill Glass
Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.
Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.
Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.
There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam North Korea...
But you didn't.

Chaerin bites her lower lips as she eyes the telephone. It is ringing nonstop, calling for her attention yet she isn't faze. She knows what the call is about...but she won't allow them to break her hopes.
He will comeback just like he promised. He will return home to her.
Caressing her swollen tummy, she shakes her head. "Don't worry Baby...Daddy will comeback."
However, the ring keeps on echoing inside their small apartment. It's as if it wouldn't stop till she face the wrecking truth.
"...twelve soldiers didn't make it and was confirmed dead by their comrades..."
One lone tear fell from the corner of her eyes as the television plays on the sala nonstop.
"Come back home, my Love..."
