Long way home- Yoonmin

Chapter 3; The baby blue guitar

"Alright, ehm..." Yoongi checks his surroundings one more time, checks his face in the mirror. He's wearing a black facemask and a dark green beanie. Jimin likes dark green, and had said it would look good on Yoongi. He was right, of course
He has a hard time containing his giddiness, but he's nervous as well. Everything got intensified now he knows he's gonna see Jimin soon. Well, sort of soon. And Jimin has no clue.
He should make a plan with Namjoon, how he's gonna do things. He can't just show up after the concert, he has to have a reason to be in Hamburg.
He quickly picks up when his phone starts ringing, not wanting to wait a second longer to see his love's face. "Jimin!"
"Do-Yun hyung! Damn that beanie looks good on you!" Jimin exclaims, the biggest smile on his face. "I just posted one of my shirts, but it'll take probably two weeks till it arrives."
"Ahw, we got the time! Thank you love!" Yoongi smiles, looking over to his own package, he'll post it right after this call. "I think mine will take around that time too then?"
Jimin gives him a small pout. "But I wanna have it now."
"Jiminie, good things take time." He winks, causing Jimin to fall into a fit of laughter. Cute. "How was the hike?"
"Really short, only an hour, but it was pretty! There are such big trees here hyung."
He takes a bit to just stare at Jimin's face as he rambles about all different kinds of trees, looking at the soft lines and full cheeks. Jimin's hair is black at the moment, 'but he'll probably dye his hair the first change he gets. Yoongi's hair is black too, he's been wanting to bleach it, but then Jimin could notice. For the first time, he realizes how exhausting it is to keep up this lie.
"Hey Jiminie, what songs do you hope BTS will play? Like, which are your favourites?"
"Oh, ehm... I really wanna see 'run' live, and 'ddaeng'. If they play 'ddaeng', my life's complete!"
Yoongi smiles, knowing that both of those are on the track list.
"What?" Jimin asks, eyebrows raised.
"You're just so cute when you talk about music like this. Your eyes get all shiny and big." He's smiling himself as well, and Jimin notices. "It's adorable."
"Hmm. Let me play something for you hyung, I've been practicing new things." He picks up his guitar, a light blue, acoustic one. It's sweet, fits him perfectly, Yoongi thinks.
Jimin starts playing 'thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran, softly singing as well as soon as he feels confident in his fingers. Yoongi just holds his breath, not wanting to miss a single thing. Jimin's voice was really soft, but impressive, and calming at the same time. The song didn't ask for a lot of high notes, but Yoongi was sure Jimin could reach those without much trouble.
He claps when Jimin's finished, wanting to clap earlier but not wanting to interrupt.
Jimin gives him a huge smile. "That was pretty alright huh?"
"Love that was amazing, I love your voice. It's so soothing." He throws compliment after compliment at him. He knows how to recognize good voices, having been in the industry for a long time and working close with a lot of artists. Jimin had potential, if he'd want to pursue it.
But Yoongi worries it'll be an impact on Jimin's freedom. And he can't exactly make such a remark right now, a 'hey Jimin you got real potential wanna join the music industry?'-remark. Jimin wouldn't believe him anyway.
Jimin just giggles at all the compliments. "It's pretty late for you huh?"
"Nah, it's only ten, don't worry. We can talk more." Yoongi knows his boyfriend always makes sure not to keep him up too late, it's sweet, but he'd rather talk to Jimin than sleep.
"Oh okay, good!" Jimin throws him another smile, before yawning.
"Guess that hike tired you out more than you thought?"
"I guess so! It's alright, all I gotta do today is to make dinner! Lukas gave me some potatoes so I'm gonna make a stir fry with those and ehm... I don't know, I must have some more vegetables somewhere." Jimin rummaged through his cabinets, showing mostly canned fruit, tomatoes, and onions. "Ugh I thought I still had green beans and bell pepper."
"You could do only the potatoes and have them Gamja-bokkeum style?" He offered, smiling as Jimin stretched and his shirt goes up a little bit.
"You're a genius! Thanks Do-Yun, I'll have that!" He's all smiley again. "What did you have for dinner?"
"We went to a barbeque, me and two friends. They were teasing me the whole time about you!" He laughed, winking. "They said that I gotta share because you're adorable, but I'm not gonna."
"Hmm nah, I'm not really share-sized."
"Did you just call yourself short?!"
Jimin rolls his eyes, but playfully. "I suppose I did, but you're still shorter."
"Whatever you say baby. I love you."
"I love you too. I can't wait till your shirt gets here so I can smell more like you."
Yoongi chuckles. "What if I smell bad?"
"Oh come on you don't smell bad, you shower every day and I can see a bottle of cologne."
"Hm, alright, fair enough. I can send that with the shirt if you'd like? I was gonna post it tomorrow morning."
"I'd love that! You're the best!" Jimin sends him a flying kiss and Yoongi blushes a bit, mind filled with thoughts of actually being kissed. "Do you want me to play some more?"
"Please? I'd love that!"
Jimin picks up his guitar again and picks up a bright blue guitar pick. "I've been listening to Green Day a lot, so I've been wanting to learn a few. Right now I can only play the beginning of 'time of your life' though."
"Let me hear please? "
"Alright but don't laugh if my voice gets squeaky."
"I won't, don't worry." Yoongi smiles.
"Do-Yun?"
"Hm?"
"Can I see your face? You don't have to! But I really wanna see a full smile." Jimin rattles, probably nervous about asking the question.
"Oh. Ehm... Not yet, okay baby? But soon, I promise." If you can call five months anything close to soon.
Jimin nods, giving him a huge smile. "Alright, but please don't feel pressured flower, I don't wanna pressure you. Just take your time."
"I feel guilty about it sometimes you know, you're so open with me, I mean, you show me everything. Your face, home, you know. And I'm afraid of showing you anything."
"Afraid I'm gonna find out who you are and what you're like?" Jimin says, winking.
"I mean, yeah kind of, I wanna show you the real me face to face first. Does that make sense?"
Jimin nods, still playing around with a few strings. "It does, I can get that. I just want you to know that you're real like this too."
"Thanks Jiminie."

After a bit longer they end the call, Jimin smiling big and waving, Yoongi with the biggest eye-smile he could possibly give.
Yoongi just lays on his bed, replaying everything in his head. He loves it when Jimin plays guitar for him. He plays piano for him every now and then, making audio recordings so Jimin won't see his studio.
His boyfriend would always gush about how calming his melodies are, even having one of those as his alarm.
"Yoongi, can I come in?" Taehyungs knocks on the door a couple of times.
"Sure, hang on." He unlocks the door, putting his package for Jimin on the desk so Tae can sit there.
"You wanted to talk?"
"Yeah. You're the most romantic out all of them and I need a tiny bit of advice with Jimin."
Tae tilts his head to the side, raising an eyebrow. "What are you thinking about?"
"He's gonna be at the Germany concert, and I want to meet him after it. I just don't have a 'reason' to be in Hamburg for how he knows me."
"Hm, so you need an excuse to meet-up? Are you gonna tell him your real name too?"
"Yeah, I think he should know."
Taehyung nods along, thinking. "You could just call him after the concert, saying you've come to Hamburg to surprise him. He'll probably stay in the city because of how late the concert is finished."
"Wouldn't that be weird?"
"Does it really matter what reason you give him to meet up? You're gonna explain anyway." He shrugs and Yoongi must admit he's right. The most important part is getting Jimin to meet him some place.
"Wouldn't it be creepy though? The show ends at ten, I could meet him about thirty minutes later. Kind of a serial killer time to meet up?"
"Great point. Just meet at a coffeeshop or something, he trusts you."
Yoongi sighs, stretching his legs. "I'm just really stressed out about it. Wish it was May already."
Tae pats his shoulder. "It will be, you know time flies when the tour starts."
He nods, agreeing. "You're right. Thanks Tae, somehow you always manage to reassure me."
"Jimin's eyes may fall out of his head though, just warning you."
They start laughing, knowing the scenario is pretty likely, especially with how expressive Jimin is.
"What makes you think he could leave you though?" Tae must've overheard his conversation with Namjoon yesterday.
"I don't know, I'd be pretty mad if someone lied to me for that long. And yeah sure the reason is... valid enough, but still. Communication has always been our forte. And he might not want to deal with things like the press and how Army might react to the news of us dating. You know the internet can be a pretty mean place."
Taehyung tears open a candy bag. "That's a great point actually, you should definitely have a talk about if anything is going to be public."
"Eventually it'll be inevitable to keep him hidden, you know that."
"I guess so, just have a good talk about it first yeah?"
"We will, we will. Now gimme back my candy."
Tae holds the bag out of reach. "No I deserve this for giving good advice."
"C'mon, I'm still your hyung, give back." He slightly pouts, having brought that bag here specifically so no one else can snatch it.
"Hm alright, I got popcorn in my room anyway." Taehyung smirks, patting Yoongi's shoulder once again. "It'll be fine hyung, just wait with stressing until the day before, alright?"

"Not gonna promise anything."
