The Bond That Holds Us
You sat on the sofa legs crossed glancing the clock hanging above the fireplace for the umpteenth time for the evening. With a sigh, you sat up stretching out your limbs while kicking off your heels carelessly.
He was late, again.
It wasn't too much of a surprise for you, this wasn't the first time you would wait on his return only to be disappointed. He was a busy man and you knew what you were getting into when you agreed to marry him. Of course it was the best decision of your live, but you couldn't help but feel even more lonely after becoming Mrs. Han.
You gazed at the picture hanging on the wall with you and your husband smiling together on your wedding day. It was nearly 2 years ago, when that photo was taken, yet it felt like an eternity looking at the same white walls, the same scenery from the open window, and the same empty bed that you woke up to every morning.
You weren't complaining, you had the luxurious life people longed for after all. The private jet trips to anywhere you desired, the finest clothing tailored by only the best, and the most divine food prepared from world famous chefs around the world. However; even with all those materialistic luxuries, it was nothing compared to spending quality time with the love of your life, it was the only luxury in your life that you needed.
Today, he was supposed to be coming back from a business trip in the Middle East to see the Oil Prince. When he told you he would be gone for a few weeks again, you were more than understanding. Though deep down you were hurting but knew you couldn't show it. Jumin was the most devoted man you have ever met in your entire life. He saw you as a goddess and would do anything for you, give you world if he could. If he knew how much it hurt helping him pick out his clothing and packing his bag for him before he leaves, he would without a doubt cancel his meeting to spend time with you. That was just the kind of man your husband was, he would drop everything he's doing to give you his undivided attention, but you didn't want your longing to be around him to interfere with his work, and you would never make him choose between the two. What kind of wife would you be to make such a selfish request like that.
The sound of your phone buzzing took you out of your trance. You immediately picked up the phone hoping for it to be your beloved husband texting to tell you he was on his way. Instead it was a text message from Zen. Your heart sank slightly in disappointment but was happy to hear from the white-haired actor nonetheless.
[ZEN: If you aren't busy being Mrs. Trustfund, join the chat room lol!]
You tilted your head slightly from his request but did as you were told anyway. You were surprised to see all the members in there apart from your husband of course; although, it was rare when everyone could be online all at once. Zen's career was kicking off tremendously ever since he became the face of C&R. Yoosung was busy studying for medical school to earn his degree while interning with C&R as well. Jaehee was managing her well earned and successful cafe which was known for its freshly brewed coffee with a wide range of coffee beans. And Saeyoung was busy supporting his brother and selling kid friendly robotic toys in his own department store.
And you, you were busy being Mrs. Trustfund.
You were the wife and co-owner of C&R Inc. Which meant the only thing you were busy doing was sleeping all day while occasionally going down stairs to walk around the shops, watching reruns on Jetflix and Zulu, and eating the most unhealthiest things you had stashed away whenever your husband was gone, you didn't want to be lectured by him and your nutritionist.
MC has joined the chatroom.

Yoosung*: And I have to finish up this assignment before midnight.
MC: No! Everyone's leaving. T-T
Yoosung*: Seven, when are you going to give MC her own emojis?
707: I wanted to!
707: But she says she doesn't want one!
MC: I don't want my face moving around like that, it's gross lol.
ZEN: I think it'll be cute. And you'll be fine MC, Jumin will keep you entertained I'm sure...
Zen's salty face emoji
ZEN: That guy. He better be treating you good MC!
MC: Okay, down boy;; We're fine, he's just busy is all, so he hasn't really been around for awhile now.
Jaehee Kang: I am sure he has more duties since he has been taking on more legitimate projects now since he has gotten rid of his unhealthy obsession of cat projects.
Yoosung*: MC, you must be really lonely.
Yoosung*: I would never get bored if I were there! He has an Sbox and a Zstation!
Yoosung*: Hey! Why don't you drop by the offices?
ZEN: Yeah Mrs. Boss Lady, you can go down to the office and make sure everything's okay, since Jumin's gone.
MC: Nah, every time I go down there everyone gets super scared since I'm married to their boss.
Jaehee Kang: I can see how that would be intimidating.
ZEN: MC is far from intimidating but I have to go guys, talk you later.
ZEN has left the chatroom.
Yoosung*: You can always come down and visit me MC, I won't be scared of you especially if you bring me food!
Yoosung's smiling emoji
MC: I'll think about it just for you. :3 :3
Yoosung* MC, please consider getting your own personal emoji's, they're super fun.

MC's sinister laughing emoji
MC has left the chatroom.
You set your phone down on the sofa next to you and kicked your feet up over the arm of the chair. Your mind went back to the conversation in the chatrooms immediately making you painfully aware that another hour has passed and there was still no call or text from your husband. "Damn it Jumin." You said to yourself. You pulled your phone from underneath you and was about to hold down 1 on the dial-pad, until the screen switched popping up a video chat from a familiar caller ID. A small smile rested upon your lips and you sat up raking a hand through your hair, and positioning the camera so he can see your face.
"My love. I'm sorry that it's taking so long to come back home to my wife, I know you must be very lonely without me."
