HINA'S POV
I stared blankly at my phone.
The screen remained dark. No new messages. No missed calls. Nothing.
A soft sigh escaped my lips as I rolled onto my side, hugging one of the pillows lying on the bed.
"...Rei-kun."
I missed him.
It had already been a month and few weeks since we arrived for this family vacation, yet every single day felt strangely empty.
At first, I thought I would enjoy the scenery.
The beaches. The delicious food. The luxurious hotel. The shopping districts.
Everything had been beautiful but none of it mattered.
Not without him.
I unlocked my phone again. Still nothing.
"...Pick up."
I knew he couldn't hear me.
Even so, I dialed his number once more.
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
No answer.
The call ended.
Again.
A small knot tightened inside my chest.
'Why isn't he answering?'
Rei-kun wasn't the type to ignore me.
Had something happened? Did he lose his phone? Was he sleeping? Did he accidentally leave it somewhere?
Or...
