Music is My Lover

Chapter 33: His Mornings At Night

As the jet was preparing to depart, Yoongi observed as Taehyung talked to his phone like it was his girlfriend. He had found that annoying, since they had left the dorms, he had been on his phone non-stop. Taking pictures, messaging, calling and on video. Truth was though, he felt self-conscious and guilty for not offering that kind of comfort to you.

He just wasn't like his dongsaeng though. They were both experiencing what it was like to leave their girlfriends behind to go on tour for the first time. He pulled out his phone and took a selca waving to the camera for you. "About to depart now" he typed.

His phone beeped only a couple minutes later with your answer, "Have a safe flight to USA! Love you." Boy, how he had messed up mouthing that, he chuckled. All was well now though and he was relieved it could all be fixed before boarding.

Once the plane took off, they had their dinner and most of them settled down for a good night's sleep. Yoongi couldn't really do that, so most of the time he pulled out his laptop and worked, dozing off occasionally.

When it was morning, he sent another photo, of his laptop and papers and the sunrise through the window. This was the kind of photo he sent rather than selcas, though you liked those better because you wanted to see him. "Good morning, jagi" he added.

You were about to go to bed when you received Yoongi's text and you chuckled. He seemed to have forgotten the time difference. "Good night, Yoongi!" you replied and added a photo of the clear starry night sky holding up Shooky in front of the window.

He facepalmed at your reply, of course, it was night in Seoul still. He made a mental note to check the timezone of each place not to disturb you in the middle of the night or too early in the morning. "Right, have a good sleep" he promptly got back to you so you could go to bed.

"That's a pretty sunrise though" you replied with a winking emoji and he felt a little less like an idiot for sending that. They only had a few more hours to get to LA and he would try to get all the sleep he could before preparing for the first concert the next day.

This time they had opted to start abroad and finish in Seoul instead of starting and finishing at the Olympic Stadium. They had to head to the arena in LA in the morning and the staff would start setting everything up while they rehearsed and later made a sound check for the late afternoon.

Having slept clinging onto Shooky you could smell his perfume on your pajamas and your eyes watered. You were not a crier unless you were really upset or really mad, but you were honestly scared of going back to having no one to hug or talk to. It hadn't even been a day and you were already missing him terribly.

You got up to get ready for work and wondered if the band had landed by now. "Are you in Los Angeles?" you messaged him. As he was leaving the airport and getting in the van, he felt his phone buzz in his back pocket and pulled it out as soon as he sat down. "Yep, going to the house now" he typed.

"Can I have a selca?" he read your message and huffed.

"I haven't slept since last night" he protested, but you said you didn't mind. He sighed and decided to ask Taehyung to take a selca of all seven so at least it wouldn't be a close up of his exhausted face.

He happily obliged "Great idea, hyung! Can you send it to me for my girlfriend too?" Tae asked and the older one nodded. After the photo was taken, Yoongi took his phone back and sent the picture to both of you.

"Aw, you all look so happy!" Yoongi looked tired indeed, most of them had wide smiles, but he had a small one. You could understand though, you loved it either way. He smiled at his phone satisfied before putting it away and trying to sleep for the short trip to the house they rented on the outskirts of the city.
