To eagerly await something or someone.
Contexte culturel
In Korea, expressing anticipation is a way to show you care about the other person's plans. Similar to Korea, the 'finger-bending' idiom is used to show excitement. The focus is on 'counting the days' rather than the fingers themselves. Counting days can sometimes imply a sense of longing or impatience.
