Yoongi sat at the table with the rest of the band and the staff sipping on his caipirinha, he was still feeling awkward. In that sense he felt he was pretty standard, he wasn't into any weird things. There was nothing wrong with this, but it was just out of his comfort zone.

And backstage? Really? He felt specially uncomfortable about having resorted to that. His options weren't many though. Just going back to the house would have been overreacting, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. It wasn't really.

It was this whole long distance thing he was not comfortable with. He wished there were simpler ways. You had mentioned you were doing your own thing, maybe he could do the same, he thought. Would you be okay with that? You had provided a photo so he could from what he could gather.

"Yoongi-yah, are you okay?" he snapped out of it as Namjoon looked at his red face. "You seem to be distracted."

"Oh, yes, I'm fine" he replied bashfully. The leader nodded glad he wasn't as anxious as he had been at first. They both got back into the conversation with everyone else and enjoyed the rest of the night. The next day was the second and last concert in Brazil, then there would be two more cities and they'd head to another continent.

As the third trimester of the world tour started, Yoongi went over their concert dates trying to decide if there was any way in which he could see you for your anniversary. That should be important to you, right? He didn't want to miss it for just one month. They would be back in Asia by then and a flight back to Seoul wouldn't be long.

He looked at the Japan dates, there were four days between the concerts of Osaka and Saitama. The idea of taking a commercial flight was kind of unnerving, but it should be worth it. Even if he couldn't be there on the exact date, it was still the same month.

They had started taking charter flights because of sasaengs that hacked the systems and found out what flights the band was taking. Then they'd get tickets to be in the same plane and watch them. It was rather scary and inappropriate. He wished they'd stop, but it was unlikely.

Yoongi scrolled through the options for flights trying to find something that would fit the schedule. He wrote down a few of them and put the folded paper in his bag to talk to the staff later and discuss his short break. Hopefully there would be no issues, he'd leave as soon as they were done in Osaka and fly to Saitama early the day of the next concert to rehearse as usual.

He felt like it was the least he could do considering you'd patiently waited for him for this long. From what he could tell when you planned your second date, you liked surprises, so he wasn't planning to tell you about it. He knew you had to work, so you weren't going anywhere.

Now that Yoongi was in Sydney, the time difference was barely any and you could actually talk at more logical times. "I miss you" you said pouting at the camera as you laid on your stomach on your bed in a baggy hoodie and tights.

"It's only three more months, jagi" Yoongi said encouragingly with a reassuring smile. Only one month until I see you, he thought to himself and his smile became bigger.

"It's been a little over six though" you whined as you turned on your back and looked at Yoongi upside down. "I wish I had the money to go see you" he chuckled as he listened, he would pay for you to visit, but he had his own plans.

"I'm sorry my schedule is so tight" he kept a straight face through it all so you wouldn't suspect anything.

"I need to go to bed, I'm so tired" you said rubbing your eyes and sitting back up in front of your laptop. You extended your hand and picked up Yoongi's t-shirt from behind the screen. Casually taking off your hoodie and top to slip it on and get ready to sleep.

You were about to take your bra off when you noticed his face was bright red and he had gone silent. Yoongi blinked when you made eye contact and looked away. You chuckled and finished undressing and put the tee over your head, it was long enough to work as a nightgown.

"Okay, you can look" you said with an amused smile. "Why is it that you still get embarrassed, Yoongi? I told you it was okay. It's nothing you haven't seen before, right?" you asked.

He turned back to look at you "I wish I was there" he muttered and added "I don't need more reminders right now."

"What was that?" you said with a big smile plastered to your face.

"Don't push it" he said with a glare and you chuckled.

"Good night, Yoongi. Sweet dreams!" you waved at the camera with a small smile.

"Night, jagi. Have a good sleep" he replied smiling softly and waving back.

Once you ended the call, he decided to find a gift for you and have it shipped to the dorms so he could pick it up on his way to see you. He didn't really have many ideas in mind, so he went with a classic. Finding something he was satisfied with, he e-mailed the shop with an inquiry and put his computer to a side.

Yoongi wrapped himself in the covers and thought about how he couldn't wait to see you.  Before he met you, he wouldn't have cared about the lack of physical contact in general. He wasn't big into hugs or displays of affection.

Yet he had really needed you close sometimes and he craved the skinship. Just holding your small hand, feeling your soft skin under his fingers, the warmth that radiated from your body when you cuddled. How you snuggled up to him and laid on his chest. The way you sat on his lap and wrapped your arms around him while he worked in his studio.

He had felt like something was missing ever since that stopped happening as he was used to it. It made him appreciate it more now, not that he hadn't before, but it had taken a new meaning with all the time apart. His drive was closer to normal now that his anxiety wasn't as bad regarding your relationship as well. He looked forward to you noticing.

The distance had definitely helped in that sense too, helping him see it all in a different light. The struggle was real, but it had had its benefits, at least on his side. He wasn't sure about you though, you had talked about what he felt more comfortable with and you were okay with it. Your libido was on the higher end though, which was what made him feel the most guilty since the beginning.

He really couldn't help his was pretty low and he had felt bad it affected you as much as it did, even to the point you'd felt self-conscious about yourself. Deep down it still made you feel like you weren't attractive enough to him, he could tell from little things you asked him about. Even if he tried to make up for it complimenting you, words just weren't the same. He didn't find it easy to come up with stuff to say without repeating himself either.

Yoongi just wanted to make sure you were as happy as he could make you in every aspect. Still trying to return how loved you made him feel. Knowing you wanted him there, even if he did small things, made him feel better about what he did do when he could. No matter how simple it seemed to him, you appreciated it a lot and that made him feel at ease.

Just one more month, he reminded himself again as he started to get sleepy and closed his eyes. Falling asleep calmly and without any difficulty shortly after.
