"So, this is where the magic happens, hm?" Namjoon hummed out loud, shoulder bracing against the doorway of your studio as his arms crossed over his chest, "Never thought I'd get the chance to ever step foot into your safe haven..." The smile on his handsome face never faltered as he pulled himself off from the doorframe to enter your workspace, eyes widening as he marveled at the interior of the place once he stepped inside, "Even though the directions you gave me to get here were a maze." Namjoon rubbed at the nape of his neck, wide shoulders shrugging, "I think you did that on purpose." He joked as he eased into the room, the fascinated expression on his face only growing more impressed when he glanced around.

It only took you seven months to invite Namjun to visit you in your city. Seven months. 212 days. 30 weeks. Time had gone by so fast. So quick that the moment you laid eyes on him, you wondered why you didn't tell him to come visit you sooner.

In the time frame from when you saw him at his exhibition to now, you and Namjoon had grown considerably close. Close enough to admit that you both were inexplicably infatuated with each other. Close enough to say that you both knew what you wanted. And what you wanted... was each other.

You had spoke briefly about taking it to the next level. To start seeing each other more seriously. Namjoon never asked you to formally be his girlfriend. You both knew it would be too weird for him to do that. And you both also knew the limitations you would face moving into the dating stage. One main issue being the fact that you were both based on different continents.

Fortunately, the distance between the U.S and Korea didn't seem to affect the two of you because everything felt so right. Being together seemed so right no matter which angle you looked at it from. What was the saying that Namjoon used when he oh so casually mentioned being more serious? 

'It takes two to tango.' 

You laughed at him in that moment but hey... it made sense. It does take two to tango. And if you both wanted this, you vowed to each other that somehow and someway you would make it work.

And work it did.

Namjoon insisted on staying up late to talk to you most nights. Using the excuse that he was a night owl to talk to you until the wee hours of the morning. And you made the effort with communication on your end as well. Finding it easy to talk to Namjoon without wanting to disappear the way you would do with other people. He was the only person aside from your assistant that you spoke to frequently.

It was easy. Liking Namjoon was easy. Dating Namjoon was easy.

You didn't have to think twice about anything when it came to him.

It first started out as texting back and forth. Sharing snapshots of your day in the form of pictures and videos. Then it gradually moved on to talking on the phone. Namjoon initiating it, of course. Stating that it was easier for him to chat on the phone while he was on the go rather than making you wait for his responses through text.

You didn't mind at all. In fact, you had grown so accustomed to hearing his voice on the other end of the phone line that on the nights when he was busy with work or too tired to stay awake and talk, you missed hearing his voice and wondered how you went so long without indulging in that gorgeous, honey dripped voice all this time without becoming greedy.
