Tuesday Mornings

This is just short and all I can come up with caffeine induced brain...

I am not a morning person. I usually stay late at night due to photo shoots and filming. When I have free time I will keep in touch with friends which would mean drinking and clubbing. Very seldom will I wake up early on my own free will. I have to be bodily moved and alarm clocks won’t work. After all I am the sleeping God. But all of these changed because of you.

     
After our show ended, we agreed to meet every Tuesday at 8am in a café near your place. At first, I asked you why it has to be that early. I know you chose Tuesday to commemorate our filming days. Just like what I told you in Mt Halla, Tuesday will always be empty without you. I asked you if we can move it in the afternoon but you refused. You simply said, take it or leave it. Guess I don’t have any other choice right.

The first meeting- the 1^st Tuesday after the show ended was a little awkward.  I arrived at exactly 8am, still sleepy but you were already there. You were sitting on the far most part of the café, reading news paper while sipping coffee. You didn’t notice me and you were a little bit startled when you saw me standing beside you. I asked why you are only drinking coffee, and you said you were waiting for me so I ordered heavy breakfast for us. It was really fun and the feeling of being married to you came back while were eating breakfast. And ever since then I know I will always look forward to Tuesday.

It’s inevitable for us not to have schedules on Tuesdays. But every time we do, we still make it a point to drop by at the café. We would send message to each other. We will meet even just for ten minutes. I remember one time, when my flight was delayed. Plane was supposed to arrive 6am but due to a storm, we were able to touch down at around 7:30 am. I rushed out of the airport, left all my bags with my manager and just took a cab to meet you. I wasn’t able to inform you that I’ll be late since my phone got lost. I was rushing the driver because I know that you were already waiting for me. As soon as the cab stopped I run towards the café.  I looked for you at the same spot and there you were. The sunlight streaming down on your beautiful face.  You were facing the window and I can see your worried expression.  And as I stare at you I knew right there and then that I’m in love- madly in love.  I walked towards you and when I met your eyes, I saw tears falling down from them. You ran towards me and hugged me so tight. You were mumbling as you hugged me “I’m so worried about you. I thought something bad happened to you”.  The only words I can utter coz I’m also fighting back my tears were “Sorry, I’m so sorry. I’m here now." 

The Tuesday meet up is the most constant thing in our life , although we also see each other on other days. The people from the shop already knew us. Our spot is always reserved. Even if we get into silly fights, we would still go and meet each other. We will just sit and stare at each other not talking at all.  After a while, we’ll just laugh at ourselves and sort things out.Or when everything's okay, will be there talking non stop for hours. Rain or shine, during busy days or free times were always there- no fail.

But today is a special Tuesday. Today marked the 2^nd year of first Tuesday meetings. While I’m driving at this ungodly hour- well its only 6am, I am thinking of you. Good thing the flight from Japan back to Korea was not delayed or else I wouldn’t know what to do. I have requested the shop not to accept any other customers and rented the whole place. I have asked your friends to be there at around 9am. Today I will propose to you.  I want begin spending every Tuesday’s of my life with no one but you. Well not only Tuesday but the rest of the days and as your official husband. I want to start and end my every day by seeing your beautiful face. It may seem to be too assuming inviting your friends over when I still don’t know your answer, right? But I know you and I know in my heart that you will say yes. Besides, would you want to spend Tuesdays with anyone else? I guess not Buin. So just wait for me in there just like the first time- Tuesday at 8am.
