The second third of the tour was less complicated than the first one. After two months in Europe, they headed towards South America and the time difference was half a day once again. It was ten at night in Seoul and you were exchanging a few messages with Yoongi before heading to bed.

You quickly took a pic for him before saying good bye. He smiled at it as you were cuddling with his character already in bed, but then he noticed your bare skin behind it. "Are you taking nudes with Shooky?" he teased you and another picture came in shortly after, no plush. His eyes widened and he replied hastily "I was just joking! Gosh, jagi."

"In your honor, since you can't sleep as you'd like. Good night! Enjoy" you messaged him one last time. He raised an eyebrow at your addition of a flirty emoji. He went back to his camera roll and looked at the photos you sent again. He didn't think much about these things, as usual, but with the distance and the fact that you hadn't seen each other in a while, this hit different.

"Yoongi hyung" he heard Hobi speak and instinctively covered the screen. What was with him and his awfully bad timing that he always showed up to make him feel uncomfortable. "What is it?" Hobi asked glancing at him looking all flustered and even slightly paler, as he might have seen something.

It didn't seem like it, Yoongi decided. He casually cleared his throat and shook his head giving him the idea it was unimportant. "What's up, Hobi?" he asked looking unfazed.

"I was going to go out and walk around for a bit before we have to head out, wanna come?" Hobi asked hopeful. Yoongi knew he really liked it here so he happily kept him company.

"Sure, why not" he went to the room he was sharing with Jin in the rented house where they were staying and grabbed his bag and camera to take some pictures of São Paulo.

With their masks and caps on, they made their way through the streets hoping to go unnoticed. "It looks like things have been much better between you two the last couple of months" Hobi started as Yoongi stopped to take a picture of the skyline.

As soon as he checked how the photo came out, he looked up at him "yeah, it's hard though" he sighed "we have four months to go" Hobi nodded.

"In three months it'll be a year too" Yoongi added deep in thought. Hobi was shocked.

"Wow, you hid it for that long?" the younger one was in disbelief.

"It was only three months, Hobi" his hyung said with a raised eyebrow.

"When did you meet her though?" Hobi questioned him.

"A while before. Leave it at that" Yoongi said and kept walking to avoid going into detail. He was not about to tell Hobi about his hiding that led him to be slapped. Then kissing you and running away. And the fact that you had to chase him for it all to work out because he was determined to walk away.

No, definitely not, his heart was racing just from the thought of any of them finding out. That was a mess he was not proud of. Maybe in a few years it would be an nice anecdote, but today was not the day, he concluded mentally.

They bought a couple fresh fruit shakes from a street stall before heading back to the house to get ready to leave for tonight's stadium. "Obrigado" Hobi said with a perfect accent to the woman that handed him the plastic cups. Yoongi chuckled as he took his.

"I'm excited about tonight, the fans here are so energetic*" the younger one said with a bright smile "do you think we should dance samba again?*²" he asked and they both broke into a little dance in between laughs with Hobi humming the rhythm.

As Yoongi finished with the last few things to go out on stage with the guys, he couldn't help but let his mind wander back to your morning texts. He was kind of annoyed about it, it all felt so awkward now, you couldn't do anything about it. It hadn't even crossed his mind until you brought it up.

Had you expected something from him and he just flat out told you it was a joke? Did he hurt you without realizing? Should he have said something about the photo you sent instead? He calculated the time and it was barely 6 am in South Korea, he sighed and entertained the idea of maybe contacting you after the concert.

Yoongi felt frustrated, being with you in person was one thing and it didn't even go as smoothly as he would have wanted at first. But the whole idea of doing anything intimate through messages or a screen just felt unnatural and was strange to think about. He didn't think he could do that, he scrunched his nose at the thought.

His stomach dropped at the idea that you might have been waiting for something like that and he just completely missed it because he wasn't. "We're going out in 15 minutes" he heard Namjoon's voice as he informed the members from the corridors backstage. Yoongi put in his earpiece and exited the dressing room trying to focus.

The majority of the concert went well in the end. He was able to get into the performances and barely had time to think in between all the outfit changes, short intervals between songs and just generally rushing backstage from one side to the other. The usual basically, but for some reason he thought his worries would get the best of him.

And they kind of did by the end when they were all standing side by side, saying a few words for ARMY. While the other members spoke, Yoongi's mind was elsewhere. He was grateful his outfits mostly consisted of oversized clothing. He fixed his baggy hoodie uncomfortably making sure it was not obvious he was nursing a semi. Fuck this, he thought irritated.

Jungkook lightly side-kicked his shin and he realized it was his turn to talk. "Ah yeah, ARMY, hi" he started as he tried to look unbothered and the members all covertly side-glanced at him confused by the unusually awkward tone of the first few words. He kept his speech short and sweet so he could get the hell out of the stage as soon as possible.

Yoongi changed into his clothes and kept the sweatshirt with the excuse he had forgotten his jacket, the staff just shrugged and let him be. They were now going out to dinner as they did after the first night in each country. He was conflicted about what to do.

He made his way back to his dressing room once more and hoped no one would walk in. At least he'd check what you had wanted exactly.

He sat down with his phone and messaged you, "Jagi?"  Hoping it would only be a few minutes until you got back to him. As he nervously awaited, he looked up at the mirror in front of him and quickly turned the chair around.

"Hey Yoongi! What's up? Did the concert just finish?" you replied happy to see him online.

"Jagi" he sent again without answering any of your questions.

"Is something wrong?" you tried a little worried.

"Your photo. I can't stop thinking about it" he said seriously and you replied with cry laugh emojis. "It's not funny" he was annoyed at your stupid answer.

"Well, I mean, I'm glad you liked it" you said amused. He growled at the screen.

"Did you mean it?" he sent back needing to know.

"What?" you sometimes wished he elaborated a little when saying things. "I just thought you might want to have a photo."

🔞"I don't feel comfortable with this" he answered as he pressed his palm flat and lightly rubbed himself over his pants to sooth the aching "I can't do this long distance."

"You haven't felt like anything?" you asked surprised, but then again, he had already explained to you how it was for him. You saw the screen mark the message was seen, but you got no reply. Thinking you were onto something, you continued to message him anyway.

"I do think about you like that sometimes" Yoongi glanced at his phone. Fuck, what were you doing? He thought and let his mind wander through the possibilities of what you meant as he kept going tentatively adding more pressure.

Message seen. You smiled to yourself knowing you guessed right.

"I miss cuddling against your skin in the morning" Why are you doing this? He thought as he checked his phone once more and gave in, pulling his pants down to his thighs to get the fabric out of the way.

Message seen.

"Imagine when we finally see each other again, I can't wait" That's what he wanted, not this, he thought frustrated after reading. He shut his eyes tight as he couldn't take your teasing remarks anymore.

Message seen.

"Will you let me try to help then?" your next message was not read immediately. You gave him some time before sending another message, "All better?"

"Shut up" he typed back embarrassed at your knowing question. He wouldn't admit he was relieved at last after having it in his head all day long.🔞

"I knew you could do it, jagi" you texted satisfied, but Yoongi didn't intend to reply.

Message seen.
