Jungkook and Yoongi had been dating for the last 11 months, they are absolutely in love with each other. Except they’ve never seen each other,or at least not in person. Through phone screens, skype calls, and what seems like millions of messages. Daily phone calls, facetimes and messages seem good, though they both know they want to meet and be in the same place at once. Distance doesn’t let them, there's always something that keeps them from each other.
“Buzzz” the sound of Yoongi’s phone rattles on the kitchen counter as he cooks his dinner. Pausing momentarily he glances down and sees the lit up screen “1 New Message Jungkook ! ” unlocking his phone he starts reading
“Bby im srry you cant come before nye :( i wanna see you :((((((((((( “
Yoongi giggles at his screen, knowing he will see his boyfriend, just at New Years. Rapidly he types back
“I know :* ( but we’ll see each other soon love :(“.
Quickly locking his phone he continues cooking thinking about how in just a few short days he’ll get to hold his boyfriend.
-
The days pass slower than both Yoongi and Jungkook would like. Soon enough though Yoongi wakes up on New Years Eve, the overwhelming feeling of butterflies in his stomach taking over. He swiftly gets out of bed and speed walks to the bathroom to shower. It's only 10:50 and his train to Busan doesn't leave till 7pm. He stares in the mirror and whispers “You’re going to meet Jungkook today.” The butterflies come back quickly “I need to shower and pack still” he speaks aloud to nobody.
Turning on a playlist of his favorite festive seasonal songs and showering, trying to ignore the butterflies eating away at his stomach.
-
In Busan Jungkook was already awake, his best friends Taehyung and Jimin sitting on the foot of his bed. The three talking, Taehyung finally making his point “But how do you know he’s real? Like I know you facetime but why won’t he meet up with you?” “Taehyung I’ve told you before he works and it's hard to get time off” Jungkook replied, tired of always having this conversation with his hyung. Jimin spoke up softly “I think as long as he’s nice and treats Jungkookie well that’s what should matter Taehyung, don’t you think?” staring straight at Taehyung with pleading eyes. “I guess so, but I still don’t like it.”
Jungkook sighed “I’d like to see him too but I know he needs to go at his own pace and I respect him.”
“You’re a better person than me then.” Taehyung said standing up.
-
5pm came sooner than Yoongi realized, he started jamming as many clothes as he could into his suitcase and quickly cooked his dinner. As he quickly ate and packed he imagined how Jungkook would look when he saw Yoongi. Yoongi imagined how much taller Jungkook would be, how his hugs would feel, how it’d feel to kiss him. Yoongi blushed at that thought. Hopefully that would happen tonight.
Glancing at the clock Yoongi realized he’d wasted 40 minutes thinking about Jungkook and he only had 1 hour till his train left. Quickly he grabbed his keys and locked his door and speed walked through the crowds of Seoul to the subway.
Finally reaching his subway to the train station he had a moment to think about what he was doing, he was taking a train to a stranger, his boyfriend, but a stranger to his person nonetheless. The butterflies in his stomach feel like rocks suddenly.
-
Jungkook laid in bed as his housemates set up for their New Years party. He assumed they must have let some people in because there was a low buzz of music and talking already. It was only 8:40 so he knew the volume would only get louder. He picked up his headphones and poked around on his phone till he settled on watching a cool looking soap carving video. He accidentally fell asleep.
-
Yoongi quickly grabbed his suitcase off the rack and walked outside, the smell of the ocean overpowering his nose. He walked towards the sidewalk and called an uber on his phone. The butterflies came back full force. Fear overwhelmed his entire body. He was going to meet his boyfriend in less than an hour.
-
Jungkook laid asleep for several hours. When he finally woke up the clock to his left read 11:34pm. Had he really almost slept through New Years? Pulling himself together he decides he’ll go down and join the party a few minutes before midnight. Realizing he had several messages from Yoongi he opened up his message app.
“Hi baby i hope you’re having a good evening and are eating well.”
“Hi me again, are you okay?”
“Jungkook are you okay???”
The last message was sent only 4 minutes ago. Jungkook quickly typed back
“Hi bby I fell asleep on accident :(( i havent eaten dinner yet :/”
Yoongi replied almost instantly
“Oh :( are you okay? You’re not sick ?
“No just sleepy keke” Jungkook replied.
Jungkook locked his phone and looked around his dark room, the bass of the music softly vibrated his bed. The idea of going downstairs to his living room full of strangers was the worst idea he could think of right now.
-
Yoongi’s uber pulled up to the brightly lit house. He could hear the music clearly from the street. He wondered how Jungkook could have slept through that. Walking up to the front door he realizes the whole door was open, people walking in and out as they pleased. Yoongi slowly walked in realizing he looked out of place with his backpack and suitcase. A man Yoongi had never seen came up to him “Yoongi?” the man said to him “Um. Yes? Who are you?” Yoongi said, confused. Had he been catfished? He facetimed Jungkook? “Oh I’m Taehyung, Jungkook’s friend. He said you couldn’t come?” He said with a puzzled look on his face. “I wanted to surprise him for new years.” Yoongi spoke back slightly softer, wondering if Taehyung could even hear him over the music. “Jungkook will be so excited to see you, he’s still upstairs I’ll show you where.”
-
Jungkook laid with his eyes closed waiting for the minutes to pass till he had to go downstairs. He heard a knock at the door, “Jungkook ah?” He heard Taehyung “Yah come in” Jungkook replied not opening his eyes.
He heard the door open and close quickly and heard the sound of things being set down. Slowly he opened his eyes and standing 5 feet from him was Yoongi.
Startled, he sat up so quickly he felt lightheaded, more lightheaded than Yoongi, his boyfriend of 11 months standing 5 feet from him.
“Hi oh my god hi you’re real oh my god hi” Jungkook said frantically standing up and walking over to Yoongi.
“You’re so tall” was all Yoongi said back.
“You’re so small” Jungkook said back chuckling.
“Shut up”
-
The pair made their way downstairs into the light of the party. The new year only a few moments away. “Glad you could join us lovebirds” Jimin said to Jungkook “Yah go away” A light pink blush covered over Jungkook’s face. Yoongi wanted to kiss it but held back, he knew he wanted their first kiss to be at midnight. He just hoped Jungkook would kiss him.
The 60 second countdown started on the TV and Yoongi looked right at Jungkook as he grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to him. Jungkook smiled “Hi baby” Jungkook said softly to Yoongi “Hi” Yoongi replied.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR” everybody in the room screamed, Auld Lang Syne played loudly from the speakers. Yoongi turned to look at Jungkook “Kiss me?” he said blushing. Slowly Jungkook smiled and leaned in and placed his lips on Yoongi’s. It felt like the world stopped turning for just a moment and it was only the two of them together alone. Jungkook pulled away after a few seconds, bright red, Yoongi matching him “I’m so happy” Jungkook whispered, leaning his forehead against Yoongi. “Kiss me again then?” Jungkook laughed throwing his head back “Of course baby” he leaned in once again and kissed Yoongi slightly longer. “Okay lovebirds we get it” Jimin shouted over the music. Yoongi and Jungkook pulled apart, blushing even harder, Jungkook whispered in Yoongi’s ear “Do you want to go watch a movie and get away from everybody?” “Yes that would be perfect”.

That night Jungkook and Yoongi slept holding each other, not knowing what the future held. Except each other.
