“Hey, stranger.”

“Who-oh my god, you’re back!”

“”Hey, Ms. Mana-whoa, she’s a hugger! You missed me, huh?”

“Just shut up for 30 seconds, loser. Heck, I can’t believe I’ve been waiting at the wrong arrival gate for half an hour.”

“You missed me. You're even crying."

“Shush. You’re just really cuddly.”

“You literally attacked me with a bear hug just because I’m cuddly?”

“Yup. Just cuddly.”

“You’re adorable, you know that?”

“You’re okay.”

“Damn, babe, just okay?”

“Mhmm.”

“Wait, Minari, we’re blocking the gate. You can let go of me for a sec, I swear I’m not going anywhere.”

“I don’t care if we’re blocking the gate.”

“Ooh, someone’s a rebel.”

“Shut up.”

“Can I get a kiss?”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Guess I’ll have to ask someone else at the airport for a kiss then-mm.”

“Mine. Okay?”

“All yours.”

“Better be.”

“I missed you.”

“I missed you, too.”

“You’re a lot nicer to me after I’m gone for a long time. Maybe I should fly out more often, huh, babe?”

“I… I can come along.”

“Someone’s clingy.”

“No, shut up.”

“Can I have you for the rest of the day?”

“Mhmm. I took a day off work.”

“What do you want to do for the rest of the day?”

“You.”

“Damn, only keeping me for the , huh?”

“Obviously. You’re kinda cute sometimes, too, I guess.”

“I’m always cute, baby.”

“I miss you too much to argue, so I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that. How was your trip?”

“…”

“Chaeyoung?”

“Oh, sorry, hi. What’d you say?”

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Got a little distracted. I just… you look so beautiful today. Just, wow. I missed your face a lot.”

“We FaceTimed everyday.”

“You’re a lot prettier in person.”

“You should stop leaving, then.”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“Is that a promise?”

“Only if it’s mutual.”

“You’re staying, then.”
