Crickets chirped in the background, as weary feet makes its way down the road. It was a cold and dark night, a paper lantern glowing bright. Hwang was walking home, completely drained from his day. He had been busy training the new recruits, as a well as attending long meetings with his superiors. Right now he wanted nothing more than to just crash to the floor and sleep. His body ached, his muscles sore. Today had been such a grueling day.

He finally reaches home, making his way inside. He walks quietly into his room, not wanting to disturb the sleeping beauty inside. Mina lay on his bedroll, cotton sheets covering her supple body, her long hair sprawling around her, like cascading chocolate. A smile falls upon on his lips, as he gazed at his beloved. She looked so serene, so sweet, making her look even more beautiful. Hwang would sit before his sleeping beauty, his expression full of affection. He silently watches, so utterly captivated, as her bosom rises and falls, breathing softly. She would give a little moan, her lips forming a pouty “oh”. Even in slumber, Mina was just so sweetly seductive. The little sounds she would make, the subtle changes of expression on her pretty face, the way her little lips would lusciously pout, just so alluring.

“Sung-Kyung…” she murmured so sweetly, her lips so delectable.

Hwang’s heart lurched. He loved it when she would say his given name so plaintively, as if she needed him so desperately. He gently touches her cheek, causing her to stir. Her eyes flutter open, a sweet smile appearing on her lips, seeing his handsome face. 

“Welcome home, my noble one,” she whispered, her dark eyes shining bright.

Home, Hwang thought. Such a beautiful word, especially coming from her lips. Coming home to Mina was the best part of his day, something he always would look forward to. To be able to see her face light up whenever he came home, that was the most precious thing in the world. All of his hardships, all of his struggles, all of it was worth it, just to see her again. Her belief in him gave him such strength and hope. He felt like he could accomplish just about anything, with Mina by his side. His life was so much richer, just because of her. He knew just how blessed he was.

“Come to bed,” Mina seductively whispered, lifting the covers up, beckoning for him.

Hwang embraces her, his mouth upon hers, joining her underneath the sheets…
