Namjoon was tired. Like, very, very, tired. He had decided to stay at his office and finish all the pending work. It was past 2 in the morning and he couldn't be bothered to keep the documents in the shelves. His work was done but he still had to arrange the files and throw the waste scattered on his table. Well, he decided he wouldn't.

He laid his head on the table, letting out a deep sigh. His head was spinning.

Another sleepless night. It had been only 2 days since Jin was gone and he was already overworking, already sick. Jiyoo was busy with Jackson, Mark and their kids so he didn't need to go home early. That's how he decided that he would use his extra night time to correct the papers.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Jackson, it read. Groaning to himself, namjoon picked up the phone.

"Hello?", he mumbled sleepily.

"Bro, when are you coming home?", Jackson whispered. And namjoon guessed that everyone else was also sleeping.

"Ah... I'll come after 7", namjoon said simply.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to overwork yourself!? I'll chop off your head if you don't come home before 8", Jackson whisper-yelled and Namjoon laughed tiredly as he fought to keep his eyes open.

"Yeah? You sound like you're my wife", he said and rolled his eyes.

"No thanks, I love my husband. But I'm serious, Namjoonie. Come home soon", Jackson grunted lowly but his voice sounded concerned.

"Yeah, ok. Take care of my girl", namjoon said and cut the phone.

As soon as he laid down on the office couch, his phone rang. Namjoon jumped up from his place and promised to kill whoever disturbed his sleep. But as soon as he laid his head on the table again, his phone rang.

He banged his head on the table and almost cried out of frustration. He was so fucking tired. He had 3 hours to sleep and then he had to go back home. And then he had to come back after another 2 hours. Work was tiring him out.

Tears pricked the corner of his eyes as he picked up the phone, without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?", he almost sniffled, trying to regain his composure.

"Joonie?". Jin. It was Jin's voice. Namjoon's eyes went soft as he sniffled lowly. "Jinnie...", he called out softly.

"What happened, baby? Are you okay? Joonie?", Jin said, panicking over the fact that namjoon sounded like he was crying or he had been crying.

"Nothin'. 'M okay", namjoon said, wiping his runny nose with his sleeve. Not at all caring about the expensive textile.

"I wanna see you. Hang the call", jin said in his demanding, authoritative voice.

Namjoon nodded absent mindedly and did as he was told. "Okay", he replied softly.

Not even a minute later, Namjoon's phone rang. Seokjin was Facetiming him. He inhaled deeply and styled his hair somewhat neatly. He rubbed at his eyes so that he doesn't look more sleep deprived as he is. He quickly shrugged of his dress shirt and settled for the tee he was wearing underneath. It was weird, he knew it. He also wore the glasses from his desk so that his dark circles wouldn't be noticeable.

"Joonie!!", Jin squealed as he saw Namjoon through the screen

"Joonie!!", Jin squealed as he saw Namjoon through the screen. "How are you, baby? You don't look too good", he asked softly.

Namjoon sighed. He knew his boyfriend would see right through him. He shook his head and smiled sweetly. "I'm fine".

"What are you doing up early? Isn't it like, 2am or something there?", jin raised an eyebrow.

"You're looking amazing in that outfit", namjoon commented. He was just trying to cover for himself but there was no doubt that Jin was looking incredibly hot.

"Joonie", jin said in a dominant voice which sent shivers down Namjoon's spine. Damn! Sometimes he forgets that both of them are switch.

"I-I was work-ing", namjoon stuttered. He didn't lie because well, there was no point in lying.

Jin huffed. "I told you not to overwork yourself, didn't I?", he asked. Namjoon just nodded that caused jin to sigh deeply.

"I miss you", he suddenly said, making namjoon look up in confusion. He chuckled softly when the younger raised an eyebrow. "I mean, I wanna come home. It's so nice here. Everything's available. The locals are amazing. The weather's nice, too. The only thing missing... is you. Which honestly sucks", he let out a soft laugh, his eyes saddening.

Namjoon cooed, smiling cutely. "Aw.. Miss you, too. It's okay, it's just 5 more days. Don't worry, love. We'll be waiting", he assured softly.

"I know. How's my other baby? You're taking good care of her, right?", jin replied, suddenly more enthusiastic.

Namjoon rolled his eyes playfully. As if he didn't always do that. "Of course, sir. I'm taking really good care of your daughter. And just so you know, my friend's here with his husband and kids so she's not alone", he waved his hand infront of the screen.

"Ah...alright. Then I don't have to worry", Seokjin said jokingly making namjoon pout and cross his arms over his chest. "Oof. You get mad so easily, Mister. I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson when I get home", he winked at the younger who blushed profusely, his bratty aura melting away.

"What happened, sweetheart? You're scared?", Jin mocked in a sickeningly sweet tones. He knew he sounded like some kind of villain. But whatever, he didn't like heroes anyway.

"H-hey! Why would I-I be sc-ared? You're so bad", Namjoon whined.

Jin just laughed, missing his partner even more now. Oh, how he wanted to just hold him and kiss him and tell him he's the best he could ever ask for.

"Sorry, baby. I love you so much and I miss you a lot. I hope you were there. I hope we could talk all day but you look pretty tired. So, go home and rest. Don't go to work today. Work can wait. Take care of yourself and jiyoo. Say hi to your friends", Jin said in a single breath. "Love you", he mumbled and smiled softly.

Namjoon mirrored his expression, the dimples differentiating him. "A'ight I'll take care of your kids", he laughed and jin did too. "You take care of yourself and don't worry much. We are doing just fine. I love you, too", said softly.

Both of them kissed the screen. Well, that was kinda creepy but they found it rather cute too.

With that, jin ended the call with a sigh for the sake of Namjoon's health.

"Just 5 days more..."
