My boyfriend is younger than me—and ever since he joined the army, this unfamiliar word, “‘gomusin’ (a Korean term for someone waiting while their partner serves in the military)” somehow became a part of my life.
It’s been 100 days since he enlisted, and today he's finally on leave. I’m on my way to pick him up, and for some reason, I’m more nervous than usual. My heart's racing.
Maybe it’s because of what happened between us before he left... or maybe it's because of what might happen now.
Somehow, I feel like all the plans we made could change.
Still, whatever comes our way, I just want us to enjoy this day together.
It’s been a hundred days, after all.
