Anticipation was building as my eyes stared down at my phone, awaiting a call from Minho.
(A/N: That's some smile that we have here!)

As soon it came, my hand reached out, sliding across to answer the call, propping the device up on the stand I had on my desk.
Sweat was dripping off his body, a sight that instantly brought a smile to my face. Having just come off stage, Minho's first and only thought was to ring you as soon as he could get to his phone.
"I'm exhausted," he chuckled, taking a seat in his dressing room, throwing himself back into his chair. "I'm surprised you're still awake, the encore went on a little longer than we expected so I'm a little later calling then I was supposed to be. I'm sorry about that."
My head shook, "you're rambling, it's fine. I'm still awake, aren't I?"
I was only just awake, determined to keep my eyes open and speak to Minho before I slept. It was well into the early hours for me, Minho could tell how hard I was struggling to keep my eyes open to be able to spend just a bit of time with him.
"We don't have to stay on the phone for long," he whispered.
My hands came up to rub at my eyes, determined to try and make myself as awake as possible to at least spend a bit of time talking to Minho.
"I promise, I'll be alive with you in a minute."
I could tell he was frustrated that I'd stayed awake, despite the smile on his face. "I keep telling you not to stay awake for me, and to look after yourself."
My hand waved across the screen, quickly dismissing his comment. I could tell that he was exhausted too, but it was the sacrifice that the two of us had to make for one another when I lived on almost opposite sides of the world.
"Hopefully, one day, it won't have to be like this forever," I smiled, trying not to dampen the mood between us both, "my boss seems keen on the move."
I'd been put forward many months ago to transition to my company's new global office in Seoul, anxiously waiting every day for any news on what might happen.
"You'll have me right by your side if it works, and get absolutely sick of me," I chuckled, watching as at last Minho's eyes lit up too. "It's tiring, but it's not forever Minho."
His head nodded, reminding himself once again that one day the late nights and the early mornings would be worth it. That a time was coming when I wouldn't have to cram in just five minutes a day to be able to at least try and speak to each other.
"I've got you by my side, even so far away," he grinned.
"Of course," you replied.
But as he spoke, Minho knew it wasn't enough, it was never what he wanted to have me so far away. He wanted me by his side physically, to be able to reach out and touch me whenever he wanted.
"I can't wait for the day when things will be different," he softly spoke up, "I want us to be everything that we've dreamed of, be the couples that we always adore."
"As soon as I get the go ahead, I'll be on the first flight out of here and across to Seoul, I promise," I vowed, quickly covering my mouth as a yawn escaped, "in a heartbeat, I'll be there."
Whilst the two of us continued to speak, I noticed several time members of staff passing by as they tried to pack up from the concert. I knew deep down that they wanted Minho too, you were a distraction from that, for many of them, an inconvenience.
"Are you sure you're not needed at all?" I questioned, pointing back as yet another member of staff came into shot, "we don't have to stay on the call if you're busy."
"Ignore them," he quickly replied, turning his body so the staff member was no longer in shot. "I'm using my time to speak to you, I don't care what they're doing right now."
I was far from convinced that the staff would be pleased with him speaking to me, despite what he tried to tell you. It wasn't just his work, most aspects of my life ended up being flipped around to enable me to find time for one another.
"Very soon, we'll be over the hard part," Minho noted as I fell silent in response to him, "if we can love each other thousands of miles away, being in Seoul together will be a breeze."
My smile widened, "it'll be a huge change."
"It'll be the best change. All I've ever wanted was to have you here with me, forever."
Of course, visits to one another were amazing, but they always came with heart wrenching goodbyes and promises that whenever time allowed, you'd try and reunite. They never got easier either, in fact, as I fell for each other more, it was harder to see the other go.
"I didn't know love until I met you," Minho whispered, running a hand through his damp locks, "I'd do anything to have you here with me and never let you go."
It hadn't been easy on either of us, many days and nights were spent hoping to talk to each other, only for something to come up. Several plans ended up being cancelled, trips often pushed back, or never coming to fruition at all.
"It won't be long until I'll be there," I responded, "even if the office doesn't come through, we'll find a way to get me out to Seoul."
Minho's head immediately nodded in agreement, "even if I have to support you for a while, we'll get you out here. There's plenty of jobs around, I'm sure if I sweet talk SM enough they might even be willing to give you a job in one of our offices."
"If I'm coming to Seoul, I'm standing on my own two feet," I warned, "even if it means having to wait a little while longer to come out. I want to do this for myself Minho, for us."
I'd already worked on my own to get put forward for the position in Seoul, without Minho's help, I wanted to go to Seoul in whatever capacity based upon my own efforts.
"That's for us to worry about another day anyway," he smiled, keen to change the subject. "You should probably get some rest."
As much as I wanted to disagree, you knew soon I was going to regret not resting when you had to get up fork work. Whilst Minho could head back and get a good few hours in him after my call, my tank was going to almost be empty at work tomorrow by now.
"One way or another, we'll be together in Seoul soon Minho, I promise."
"I know we will, and I'll do everything I can to get you here whenever the time is right. Or you have to do is let me know what I can do, and I will do it straight away," he smiled, "I'm only a text away."
My head nodded, "and thousands of miles away too, it's not as easy as just sending a text right now, is it?"
"That'll change soon enough."
"I know, I just can't wait for it to happen if I'm honest with you."
