After one month:

[It's been a month. A whole month of everyone doing everything they could to keep Jeonghan away from Joshua. No accidental run-ins. No office meetings conveniently overlapping. Nothing. Just distance.]

Joshua:

Why did I even agree to take on the president's role?

[He mutters under his breath, slouched in his chair, eyes glued to the ceiling as if it holds the answer.]

Joshua:

If I'd just stayed his secretary... at least then, I'd still get to see him.

[He lets out a heavy sigh, fingers absently tracing the edge of his desk.]

Joshua:

I wonder how he's doing...

[His voice softens, threaded with longing. Just then, his phone buzzes. He frowns at first, not expecting a call...until he sees the name glowing on the screen. A familiar name. One that makes his heart skip.]

Joshua:

Who is it...

[The moment recognition hits, a smile breaks across his face. Without hesitation, he grabs the phone and answers, his voice lifting with sudden warmth.]

ON CALL:

Joshua:

Hi! How are you?

Han:

I'm good... How's my baby doing?

[Joshua smiles softly, his cheeks tinting pink as he pouts into the phone.]

Joshua:

I miss you.

Han:

I miss you too. How's everything over there?

Joshua:

Fine, I guess. Mom and Noona have been hyper since forever. The mansion's a full-on circus these days.

[He lets out a small giggle, trying to lighten the mood, but the silence that follows from the other end is strange. Heavy.]

Joshua:

Hyung? Are you okay?

Han:

Yeah... I'm fine. I just... I think I miss you more than I thought I would.It's been a month since I held you, even saw you. It doesn't feel like a month...it feels like centuries.

[Joshua's heart aches at Jeonghan's words. He smiles softly, though his chest feels tight.]

Joshua:

Hyung... I love you.

Han:

I love you too, love.

Joshua:

Don't worry. One month's already gone. The next one will fly by before you know it.

Han:

Hmm...

[Jeonghan hums so quietly it's almost a whisper, and Joshua can hear the weight he's carrying in his voice. He knows it too well...because he's carrying it too.]

Joshua:

I know... I want to see you too. I want to cuddle you and never let go.

[They both giggle softly, letting the sound fill the aching space between them.]
