Story Script
Your Residence
The wool felt in your hands is fixed by a needle as a head finally starts to take shape.
You: (It'll be Artem's birthday in a few more days... I have to hurry up and finish the felt dolls.)
You: (And...)
You look at your phone on the table and sigh.
You: (He's already been gone for a whole week. Can he make it back on time...?)
You: (Is he really going to abandon all those prior arrangements?)
As you ponder whether to call Artem or not, your phone starts to vibrate.
Artem: It's me. Still up?
You: Yeah, why are you still up? It should be midnight where you are, right?
Artem: No, I...
Artem was interrupted by a familiar broadcast from the Stellis International Airport.
You: You're back already!?
Artem: Yes, I just got off the plane.
Artem: I finished the case early, so I got on the next flight home.
Artem: That way, our plan will not go to waste.
Artem's voice sounds relaxed and happy. Even through the phone, you can imagine a slight smile on his face at this very moment.
The plan, which you and Artem discussed together half a month ago, is about his birthday celebration.
However, when that day came, he was informed that he needed to go on a business trip for an important case...
Artem: Sorry, this case is urgent. I...
Artem frowns slightly, thinking of a way to comfort you.
You know that as an attorney, he can't just drop the case.
You're still disappointed because this is the first birthday you're spending with him since you started dating. But...
You: (This wasn't Artem's decision, so I can't make him worry.)
You: I understand. Don't worry about me.
You try to sound as relaxed as possible, not wanting your emotions to affect him as you continue to help him pack.
Artem: ...
Artem: You don't need to pack so much. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Artem takes the shirt from your hands while speaking, then sits you on the sofa.
You: What is it?
Artem: You...
Artem seems to see through your heart and sighs gently as he pulls you into his arms.
The soft corners of his lips sweep across your forehead, creating a tingling sensation.
Artem: Don't worry. I'll be back on time.
You: ...
You: It's fine. Even if you don't make it back on time, we still have many more birthdays to celebrate together.
Artem: But it's our first birthday celebration as lovers.
You: Yeah...
Artem: So, wait for me to come back, please?
You look up into Artem's smiling eyes, and there is something in his calm gaze that convinces you.
You: Yeah, I'll wait for you.
However, you didn't expect Artem to come back a whole day early.
You know the case Artem's dealing with has a precedent, even though you don't have access to the case.
And you also know that he must have cut back on sleep to complete it in such a short time.
You: (Artem...)
Artem: What's wrong? Why are you so quiet? Feeling sleepy?
You: No... I was just thinking. You just came back from a business trip, so why don't you take a few days off?
There is a brief pause on the phone, followed by a faint laugh.
Artem: I'm not tired. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to my birthday celebration.
You: ...Me too.
Artem: It's already late. Get some rest, I'll pick you up tomorrow.
You: You too. Good night.
After hanging up, you stare at your phone in a daze.
Artem seems to be looking forward to his birthday celebration, and you can't agree more.
You: (Let's spend an unforgettable birthday together, Artem.)
