Chapter Text
I miss you” Jimin whispered into the air, just loud enough for the speaker on his phone to pick it up and crackle it through the airwaves to his boyfriend’s ear.
Yoongi grunted low in his throat - a sound of agreement.
“How long now?” Jimin asks - knowing that Yoongi always knows down to the second.
Yoongi immediately sighs his answer, “7 days, 7 hours, 9 minutes,” and after a brief pause adds, “and 13 seconds.”
Jimin smiles and softly laughs through his question, “Did you even look at your watch?”
“Barely,” Yoongi replies back. “Also, to be honest I may have made up the 13 seconds part. But the number reminds me of you, so…” his words drift off.
“Yeah?” Jimin breaths out shyly. He can feel his cheeks heating and pats them with the back of his hand.
“Baby did you do your before-bed routine?” Yoongi switches the topic, for now letting Jimin off the hook for his shyness.
Jimin nods his head before remembering Yoongi can’t see him. “Yeah. All done and in bed,” he adds.
“Good. You have to go to sleep. I know you have a busy day tomorrow.” Yoongi reminds him.
“I don’t want to hang up,” Jimin nearly whines.
“I know baby, but it’s only 7 days , 7 hours, …”
“And 8 minutes?” Jimin finishes for him.
Yoongi snickers. “Yeah. And if you have good sleep, when you wake up it will be less than 7 days.” He smiles so big Jimin can hear his mouth and cheeks moving.
“OK.” Jimin pauses. “Hyung, can I ask something?”
“Always,” Yoongi responds immediately.
“Can you post a selca to weverse? And make it so that I know it’s for me?”
Yoongi pauses. “What? How would I do that? How about I post something now, and because we talked about it, you’ll know it’s for you,” he offers.
“OK,” Jimin responds, a bit dejected. He really wanted a message from his boyfriend for all the world to see - even if it is a hidden message. He hears Yoongi shuffling around; the tell-tale sounds of bed covers shifting in the background. “Are you taking it now?” he asks excitedly.
“No,” Yoongi responds, “just getting ready. You’ll wait for it to post?” he feels the need to confirm.
“Of course,” Jimin responds easily.
“OK. Then I’ll do it fast so that you can go to bed.” He sighs. “I love you baby.”
“I love you too hyung,” Jimin responds sweetly, “talk tomorrow.” Jimin hangs up feeling sad. This is always the worst part of the day when he’s traveling. So far away from his boyfriend, alone in a quiet hotel. He knows he won’t talk to Yoongi again for hours. He sighs. “It’s just tough to wind down when he’s not cuddling me,” he says aloud to the quiet darkness. As he lays there feeling a little sorry for himself, his phone pings with a notification from weverse. Jimin smiles, quickly opens his phone, and clicks on the notification in the app.
Jimin gasps. “This is nothing short of a thirst trap!” he practically yells into the silence. Jimin’s so distracted looking at his beautiful, sexy boyfriend, imaging all manner of things to do once he’s back home, that he doesn’t initially notice the words underneath.
Once he realizes there are words written, his eyes scan down to read “you know” Jimin smiles, scrunching his face and rolling onto his stomach, kicking his legs as he shouts a muffled squeal into the pillow. Yoongi did it, he included a message just for Jimin.
But of course he would. Jimin knows that Yoongi would do anything for him, especially if he asks. Jimin looks at the picture again, lightly running his finger over the screen, imagining he’s touching Yoongi’s soft skin. Jimin gets lost in his thoughts again but soon shakes his head clear and opens his chat with Yoongi. He smiles broadly as he types “i know” and hits send before placing his phone on the nightstand and rolling onto his side. “7 days, 6 hours, and 52 minutes,” Jimin says aloud.
And somewhere far away, after reading Jimin’s message, Yoongi says the same words.
