/T-ae's pov/

I'm sick of staring at my phone hoping he'll call me back. It's hurting my heart. I know that this isn't how it should be between us. Married people shouldn't hate each other.

I can't decide if this is love or not because every time we're close there is this space... this unknown distance I can't explain seeping in around us.

"Promise me you will at least rest your worried eyes." Riko sighed over the other line of the phone.

"I promise..." I lied again because I knew I wasn't going to rest my eyes. I was too worried about my love life for that.

"Night then..." she whispered soothingly as she bid my good-night.

"Night." I stated befo
