|| Alex's POV ||

My gut is wrenched. A sickening feeling caused by excitement mixed with nervousness fills me as my trembling thumb hovers over the answer button with the camera icon.

I'm finally going to see his face after five months. I don't think my nerves has ever been this worked up in my entire life, even making breathing a difficult task for my lungs to perform.

Fixing my hair with a quick motion, I finally tap 'answer' and hold the phone up so he could see me from an angle that is much more flattering than a full-on view of my double-chin.

And there he is. That same black face mask as on the picture he sent, but his hair a beautiful golden colour with a slight messy touch to it. His eyes are deep and black, framed by a unique hooded shape of his eyelids.

I instantly smile, heart fluttering like a rabbit on steroids.

I've missed him so much.

Thankfully I've been able to occupy myself with school work and spending an unusually large amount of time with friends and family. Some nights were difficult as I had trouble falling asleep, thinking about Youngjae and how I wanted to just receive one text from him teasing me if I was missing him or something.

Which eventually always ended up with me thinking about the girl he supposedly was interested in -- and it made my heart ache every time I remembered that little detail.

It was at these moments I hated that we lived in different countries; on different sides of the world. I didn't think I would develop something more than friendly feelings towards him, but it was at that instant when he told me about that girl I realized that my feelings had definitely surpassed the friend-stage.
