Minho was excited, today they would bring their light bulb.

He was hoping to get there in time to put it on before 8:30 p.m.

To his great misfortune, today he had an extra shift at the nice cafeteria where he worked.

"If I finish at 7:30 pm, it would arrive at 8:00 pm and if I take the bus..."

Minho whispered under his breath his plan to get to the estimated time when his neighbor would turn on the led lights, at 8:15 p.m. that spotlight should already be mounted, nothing should go wrong, not today.

At last he could communicate with the mysterious boy.

The emotion that consumed Minho to meet his beloved made him smile unconsciously, although it made no sense, and as much as the rest of the people laughed at him, it was a reality that Minho wanted to protect him, to hug him and give him a lot of love.

Tell him that he would always be there for him when that boy put his lights in the characteristic blue color.

He had never seen more than a simple silhouette and it was only by chance he hadn't heard his voice either, much less knew what that person was like, but he loved him, of that statement he was more than sure.

It seemed totally unreal and stupid, but seeing the soft twinkle in his eyes would probably make you change your mind, from a distance you could see that Minho felt a pure love that reached beyond the physical.

"Lee."

The call of his boss managed to capture his attention making him come out of his little trance.

"How much do you think?"

Attention snapping him out of his little trance.

"I... nothing, sir."

"Then continue with your work, don't be lazy here."

Minho complied with the order given by his superior, berating himself for being so distracted, he continued waiting tables.

He had to get out of that cafeteria as quickly as possible because if his boss thought he hadn't worked hard enough, he would force him to take overtime.

The remaining hours passed slowly for the boy, who looked at his watch every five minutes, impatient for his departure time to arrive, ending his work day and thus being able to run towards his apartment.

To his luck, he had finished his shift, being called by his Boss.

"Good job, Minho. Remember to take your tip from the tables you have served today."

His boss spoke politely as Minho took the money and responded with a soft "thank you" and a bow, then quickly grabbing his things so he could leave the premises as soon as possible.

"Where are you going so fast?"

Minho stood for a moment, as he began to leave the premises.

"To see my neighbor!"

He answered before disappearing from the older man's sight, leaving him a little confused,

"Should he hurry to see someone who lived near his home?"

He decided to ignore the boy's answer, since being Minho, anything but normal could come out.

After twenty minutes on the bus, he finally reached his stop, got out of the bus almost pushing people and got to his building, he had reached the door of the building at the same time as the delivery man, but he had to go up to his apartment to that the delivery man verify that he was the tenant of 456.

"Thanks for your purchase!"

The delivery man was fired.

Minho closed the door without even answering him, looking rude, but that wasn't the important thing, everyone had turned out fine.

He looked at his watch.

"20:34.. What!?"

He ran to his balcony window, and yes indeed, the boy across the street had his lights on.

"Shit."

The eldest murmured as he tried to understand how to place the spotlight at the same time he was looking for control of his led lights, without success, although after several minutes he finally had the spotlight ready.

He sighed tiredly, although he could finally communicate with the boy.

He looked out of the balcony with the small hope that his neighbor had not turned off his lights, although, anyway, he would have understood, anyone would have turned them off after half an hour without receiving a response to the contrary.

His heart and mind calmed when he could see that she was still waiting for him, they were still on fire.

He smiled tenderly and placed the spotlight on the balcony, turned it on and boom!

A large ray of light came out of it which pointed to a random place in the building in front, it moved the spotlight making it point to the boy's window.

A small disappointment came to his mind when he saw that no one showed up.
