“hey, i’m sorry i’m late.”

chan set his phone down on what you assumed was probably a pillow, propping it at such an angle so you two could see each other while he laid down on his bed.

you smiled lightly, shaking your head at the screen. “it’s okay, love.”

you knew going long-distance was going to be hard. chan and his bandmates had left home a few weeks ago to go on tour—a world tour, in fact. you were all for it, of course, maybe even more excited than the group themselves.

but to say that you knew exactly what you were signing up for when you dropped everyone off at the airport was a huge understatement.

going from seeing each other everyday to facetiming each other once a week (twice on a good week) nearly broke you. you had lost count of how often you’d go days on end without hearing from chan, only for him to quickly text you days later that he forgot to reply. all too familiar was the sound of his voicemail, telling you to leave a message after the tone. one of the only times you could hear his voice on some days.

perhaps the worst part of chan being away was the sudden lack of hugs. ever since you two started dating, he always made sure to shower you with them. morning hugs from behind while you cooked breakfast. side hugs whenever you waited in line at starbucks, a hand gently resting on your waist as you leaned into his shoulder. comforting arms wrapped around you, pulling you into his chest whenever you were about to burst into tears… oh, how badly you needed those so many times within the last few weeks.

and of course, the goodnight hugs.

oh, the goodnight hugs… the ones that would always end in full-on cuddles within a matter of minutes. you used to complain when he wanted to snuggle with you at night, saying it was “too hot” and uncomfortable, even during winter nights. but now, after realizing just how cold his side of the bed was without him there to fill it, just how eerily quiet the room was without him incessantly bugging you for ‘just five minutes, please?’, you craved those cuddles more than ever.

you understood he was busy. he knew you were busy, too, often occupied with work and college, which, on top of clashing time zones, made planning time together all the more difficult. despite your busy schedules, you two managed to make it work, promising to facetime at least once a week. sometimes you would plan to eat a meal together. other times, chan would stream a movie on his laptop and screen-share with you so you could watch together.

but sometimes, you and chan just facetimed and… talked. before chan left for tour, you two often lied in bed together but refused to sleep, instead talking about whatever came to your minds. events from your day, stories from the past, thoughts about the future, random late-night thoughts… anything was fair game. you two would just talk late into the night as you faced each other, speaking in hushed voices and giggling quietly even though you two lived together. there was never a dull moment between you two, no matter how late it was, or how damn well you knew you’d regret staying up the following morning.

out of the kinds of virtual dates you two had, the ones where you two just talked over facetime were your favorites. probably because those were the dates that reminded you of home the most.

lots of things changed once chan left for tour, but those facetime dates where you just talked late into the night were one of the few things that didn’t.

tonight was no exception. chan happened to finish his schedule early—a rarity for him, especially during tours. the first thing he did after he got to the hotel and got ready for bed was call you, eager to see your face for the first time in days. what a perfect way to end his night.

he smiled at you cutely, scrunching up his nose before making a silly face at the camera. you giggled as he readjusted himself and fixed his hair, still damp from the shower he took before he called you.

“so, how was work?” you asked.

“oh, you won’t believe what minho did today!”

you propped your head up against your hand, listening intently to the story chan recalled from his afternoon. “and when jisung came out of the shower, he was screaming that his hair turned purple!” you were over the moon, finally being able to hear his voice for longer than a voicemail greeting.

you listened intently, clinging on to every word he said like it would be the last time. you watched him with stars in your eyes as he rambled on and on for hours.

the nights you and chan would spend talking never stopped when he left for tour. however, they had to end at some point.

you had forgotten that he was in a different time zone until he began showing it. he yawned once, twice, and countless times more. his eyes drooped as he became overcome by sleepiness. his words began meshing together, his voice down to a low whisper.

“baby, what time is it there? you should go to sleep.”

“umm, 3:25? i will soon, i want to talk to youu…”

“you’re barely awake, channie. i can wait a little longer.”

he pouted, shifting a bit under his blanket. “but i don’t want to wait…” he mumbled sleepily.

“i can wait, i promise. you have a show tomorrow, we can talk right before you go to work, yeah?”

that only made him pout more, and he grumbled another complaint under his breath.

it was quiet for another minute, and you watched as chan grew sleepier. “i should go and let you sleep,” you said softly, about to press the red button to end the call.

“nooo,” he whined, peeling one eye open to look at you.

“chan…”

“just five more minutes?” he stuck his bottom lip out in another pout. “please?”

you chuckled a little. “of course. i’ll be right back though,” you said, excusing yourself to go to the bathroom after chan mumbled a small “m’kay” in response.

you went and freshened up, then came back after a few minutes.

“i’m back— oh.”

one look at the screen revealed that chan had fallen asleep in the short time you were gone. you laughed softly to yourself as he dozed off, a piece of stray hair dropping in front of his eye as little snores escaped his mouth.

your chuckles quickly died down as you watched your boyfriend with a loving smile. he looked so peaceful, you didn’t dare to disturb him as he entered dreamland. he deserved the rest, with how much he did for his team, and how much he did for you.

you waited a couple more minutes before you decided it was a good time to hang up. you smiled at the boy once more, your finger hovering over the ‘end call’ button.

“get some rest, baby. i love you,” you said softly, and you pressed the red button.

you knew it was going to be hard. and you knew that soon enough, chan would be back home, snuggled up in bed to both of your hearts’ desires, as he told you all his tour stories as if it was the first time.

but for now, moments like these were more than enough.
