The Concept Game, Volume #2

You were currently in the United States doing some field work. Despite the long distance, you and your boyfriend, Yoojung, have been talking to each other whenever you can. Every day, you keep each other up to date with everything that is going on. One day, he called you right when you woke up as it was nighttime for him.

"Hello?" You responded, voice laced with sleepiness.

"Did I wake you up?" Yoojung asked you, hearing the difference in your voice.

"No, I was already opening my eyes when the phone rang." You replied, letting out a yawn.

"Your eyes are starting to droop again, aren't they?" He asked, sensing that you are fighting the urge to go to sleep again.

"If I say no, would you believe me?"

"Not in the slighest." He replied, resulting in a groan from you.

"You know me too well." You said, shaking your head. You put your phone on speaker so you can stretch and do your morning routine.

"Of course I do, babe. I know everything about you because I love you." He confessed. You stopped making your bed to put a hand over your heart.

"Starting my morning by buttering me up, what gives?" You asked him, suspicious of this sudden affection.

"I can't tell you I love you just because I can?"

"You can, but whenever you do it out of the blue like this, it means you have to tell me something."

"You see, just as well as I know you, you know me very well too."

"Of course I do, babe. I know everything about you because I love you." You said, copying his statement.

"Are you making fun of me?!" He asked loudly. You shrugged your shoulders even though he can't see you.

"Possibly, you know it's one of my favorite pastimes." You said with a giggle.

"Unfortunately so. You really need a new hobby." He said with a sigh, which made you laugh loudly.

"I think I'll pass one is very fun. But anyways, is everything okay with you?" You asked, changing the topic.

"Yeah, I'm good. I'm just packing, though." He said, making you stop in your tracks.

"Packing? I thought you only had schedules at home?"

"I thought so too, but apparently, there's going to be a surprise fan meeting going on."

"That's strange. That gives no one time to gather funds or for you guys to pack. Do you even know where this meeting is going to be?"

"Nope." He said with a pop of the p.

"That's so backwards, hello?" You said in disbelief.

"It's very weird, yes. We're not even sure how we're supposed to pack, so we are packing bits of each season."

"This is so crazy. When is your flight?" You asked him.

"In the morning." He said calmy.

"IN THE MORNING?" You repeated loudly.

"Unfortunately so. That's why I called you so you are aware. I won't be able to talk for who knows how long, but I'll let you know when and where I land."

"Yes, please do. I can't believe they pulled such a stunt on everyone like this."

"Neither can I, but hey, we'll be able to travel somewhere, at least."

"That's true. Hopefully, you'll have to explore the city and stuff."

"I hope so too. I don't mean to cut our time short, but I really should head to bed if I want to have some rest for the morning." He said, not really wanting to end the call.

"Oh yeah, of course. Sleep well, sweetheart. Keep me posted."

"Will do. Have a good day." He said. You two explained your love you's and then hung up. You went on the rest of the day, wondering where his company would be sending the group for this surprise event.

What you didn't know that this whole thing was a surprise to come and see you! Yoojung knew that you've been missing him, and he couldn't let you sit there and continue to be sad. He tried to give you very vague updates so you wouldn't catch on to the plan. Luckily, he was successful in doing so because you didn't suspect a thing.

You were in the middle of making yourself lunch when you heard his ringtone. Stopping your task, you rushed to answer the phone.

"Did you land?"

"Not even an 'hello, how are you?' Just rushing into the questions." He said. Even though you can't see him, you can practically see him shaking his head.

"My apologies, let me try again. Hello, how are you? Did you land?" You said sarcastically.

"Now that's better. If you must know, ____, I'm okay, and I did land."

"Thank goodness. Now, where did they send you guys off to?"

"About that, um, they sent me by myself first."

"Why would they do that?" You asked him when you heard your doorbell ring. "Oh wait, hold on, stay on the phone. Someone is at the door." You said to him, walking to look through the peephole. When you look through it, you let out a gasp.

"What's with the gasp?" You heard him ask you through the door and over the phone. You try and unlock the door as quickly as you can, nearly dropping your phone in the process. Finally getting to open, you are met with your gorgeous boyfriend on the other side of it.

"Yoojung?!"

"In the flesh." He said, doing a little spin. He then opened up his arms, and you ran into them, giving him a big hug. You two stayed like that for a few minutes before you pulled away to look at him.

"I thought you had a fan meeting?" You asked him after the shock wore off.

"Are you not a fan of me?" He asked you back.

"The biggest." You said with a cheesy grin. You ushered him inside and told him you were in the middle of making lunch, and he said he would take over. You resisted as he was probably jet lagged, but he kept on insisting.

"Okay, how about you let me finish lunch, and then you can be in charge of dinner?" You asked, trying to come up with a compromise.

"Hmm, you got yourself a deal." He said, holding his hand for you to shake, and you two shake on it. You spent the rest of the day catching up and giving each much needed affection as you have to make up for lost time.
