“You look beautiful,” was the first thing that came out of Jaemin’s mouth when Donghyuck finally appeared on his screen.
Donghyuck was finally growing his hair out. He had wanted to for months, but their stylist would always say no because fans like him more with short hair. Jaemin was able to argue with their noona though, resulting in that angel with angel hair looking right at him.
He couldn’t remember when Donghyuck's hair had been that long. Sure, he often had a mullet because of good hair growth; however, they were never long enough to frame his whole face with gorgeous brown curls. Seriously, Jaemin wanted to scream in agony because he couldn’t indulge in the urge to run his fingers through them.
Donghyuck chuckled and grinned, fixing his bangs teasingly. “You think so?”
Jaemin bit back a curse when he pushed his hair back sensually and showed off that unfairly pretty forehead. They weren’t even face timing for one minute and Jaemin’s thoughts were already going to unholy places.
He hummed and jutted his bottom lip out. “Yeah, your hair looks so fluffy.”
Donghyuck shook his head with a laugh. “Trust me, it isn’t. You don’t know how much hair spray they used today. I hope I can get everything out in the shower.”
Jaemin gasped, pulling the screen closer. “You can’t shower! You look too beautiful right now!” His voice was so loud that Lucy jumped down from his bed and left the room with a meow. Good for her, because Jaemin couldn’t assure that things would stay kitten-friendly here.
Donghyuck cocked a neat eyebrow and licked his lips like he knew exactly what unholy things were in Jaemin’s mind right now. “Oh, really? You can’t stop me though.”
Jaemin shuddered at the deep voice and somehow shrank into his bed, lowering the phone beside his head. “Just-just let me look at you for a few minutes.”
Donghyuck hummed and fixed his phone somewhere on the table. Jaemin let his eyes wander to every inch of Donghyuck's perfect face. The dip of his nose, the light dimples on his cheeks, the eyeliner smudge on the corner of his eyes, the sharp jawline that seemed even more defined than usual.
And then he took in Donghyuck’s hair. Each perfect curl, each single hair strand that stuck out a little bit, the mullet that made him look so fucking manly. Jaemin wanted to do nothing but tug at it and see what pretty noises he would arouse from the older. Yeah, he could so not wait to be in Korea again.
“Are you going to say something or keep watching me like a starved man?”
Jaemin’s eyes snapped down to Donghyuck’s rosy lips, which were curled up into a smirk. “It's not my fault that you look delectable.”
Donghyuck broke out in giggles and Jaemin found himself smiling too at the sound. “What’s wrong with you?”
Jaemin pouted and turned around to lay on his side so that he could squish his cheek against his pillow. “I miss you.”
Donghyuck’s eyes visibly softened and he leaned closer. “It’s been only a few days, baby.”
That made the younger pout even more and snuggle into the sweater he stole from the Donghyuck’s closet. “A few days too many if you ask me.”
He heard Donghyuck laugh again and the screen turned black for a moment. Rustling sounds came from the other and when Donghyuck reappeared on the screen, he was in his bed in the same position as him. His fluffy hair was all over his pillow and Jaemin prayed for his white covers.
“A few more days and we’ll see each other. You are coming to our concert on the nineteenth right?”
Jaemin nodded and bunched the sweater in his hand because he was about to reach out and tug back a lock. “Everyone is coming actually. Only Lele won’t ‘cause he said he wants to spend some more time with his family.”
Donghyuck smiled and closed his eyes with a sigh. “Good, he said he missed them some time ago.” He nuzzled his face into the pillow and whined when Jaemin said nothing. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Wanna listen to your voice.”
Jaemin giggled and covered his mouth with a sweater paw. “You’re gonna fall asleep if I do and you still need to shower, dummy. You are getting makeup all over your sheets.”
Donghyuck pouted and opened his eyes tiredly, squinting at his hand. “Is that my sweater?”
Jaemin shrugged and angled his phone differently, so only his face was visible. “I don’t know, I wore the first thing I could find.”
Donghyuck squinted his eyes and leaned to the screen as close as possible, trying to catch a glimpse of the writing on the sweater. “Is it the one I bought when we went shopping together? I didn’t even have the opportunity to wear it and you already seized it?”
Jaemin shrugged and fluttered his eyelashes. “I’m your boyfriend, can’t I wear it?”
The older rolled his eyes and leaned back, ruffling his hair with an annoyed sigh. “Whatever.”
Jaemin grinned and warmth spread through his body. He loved annoying Donghyuck.
“You always use the opportunity to use my stuff when I’m gone.“
“That is not true!”
“Oh really? Then what about my shampoo, perfume or even socks? They were all empty when I came back!”
“Hey, they were already half empty when you went away! And I only wore three pairs of socks!”
Donghyuck raised an eyebrow and pointed at his chest. “And what about my sweaters? Every time I search for one I find them in your closet tucked inside a corner. You purposely hide them from me!”
Jaemin pouted and hid his lower face inside the hoodie. “Stop accusing me of anything, I just miss you sometimes,” he mumbled, eyes downcasted.
Donghyuck opened his mouth and closed it again, watching as Jaemin’s face fell. He was aware of what the distance sometimes did to Jaemin. No matter how confident the younger was, the distance was able to always make it crumble. It would cause him to overthink, get anxious and resurface old insecurities. He tried to fill in the lonely gaps in Jaemin’s heart with daily messages and silly pictures of his exhausted face, but it was never the same as holding Jaemin in his arms.
“I miss you too.”
Jaemin’s eyes threatened to water for a moment, but then they formed two crescent moons. “As you should.”
To say that Jaemin was excited was an understatement. He was so fucking ready to see his boyfriend on stage, rocking this beautiful hair of his and looking hot and delectable.
Jaemin was quite ashamed to admit that he choked on air when he took a first glimpse of Donghyuck’s face. His boyfriend was absolutely fucking gorgeous.
He wanted to roll his eyes back and scream like a maniac, but unfortunately, he was a member of NCT and not allowed to create headlines about how much of a goner he was for Lee Haechan.
Jaemin nearly fainted when Donghyuck’s voice rang through his ears and he had to grip Jisung’s arm, so he wouldn’t drop here and there. He bit his lip until he drew blood and tried the breathing technique pregnant women always used when they were in labour.
After a few more minutes he calmed down and only got a mild heart attack whenever Donghuyck appeared on the big screen. Seriously, how could a human being be so fucking hot?
Jisung grabbed his arm when they started to hip thrust because he knew that his Hyung was about to do something really stupid, like going up on stage and kissing the daylights out of his boyfriend.
Well, if he wasn’t allowed to scream then he was going to show his emotion through his light stick. He swayed it from side to side and the beat of the song. Jisung had to take it away from him because he was getting a little too excited whenever Donghyuck was shown on the big screen.
To be honest, he was acting this dumb in hopes that Donghyuck would somehow notice him. However, his boyfriend was too focused on making sexy moves and looking into the camera with an intensity that set his heart on fire.
Their eyes finally met when Donghyuck searched after them in the crowd. His whole face lit up and Jaemin couldn’t contain his own smile behind the mask. Donghyuck’s eyes were sparkling under the spotlights and Jaemin felt like falling in love all over again.
He finally leaned back in his seat and only sang along, enjoying the concert like a normal fan, with too many glances at Donghyuck’s ass. He whined when they had to leave, but Jisung cheered him up again with his adorable self.
They waited patiently for the concert to end so that they could finally meet the members. Well, Jaemin tried to be patient, but it had been so fucking long since he kisses Donghyuck. After a few more minutes, he started to fumble with his phone and edit more pictures of Jisung for his photo exhibition.
The few minutes turned into more than twenty minutes and Jaemin had his eyes fixed on the phone in his lap. He tried to get the perfect lighting for Jisung’s hair when a tap on his shoulder made him flinch. Jaemin opened his mouth to cuss the person in front of him out, but his heart stopped beating at the sight of his boyfriend.
Donghyuck was standing in front of him, in all his glory, in all his perfect hair and sweaty skin. His mind circulated for a moment before he did what he had thought about doing all day and night long.
Jaemin jumped up from his seat and cupped Donghyuck’s cheeks. Without thinking, he crashed their lips together in a long-awaiting kiss. He knew it was reckless. He knew that a staff member could walk in right now and see them kissing, but he had thought too many times about the other’s lips that he didn’t care.
It also didn't help that Donghyuck seemed to enjoy it just as much, gripping his waist with a strength he had missed. Fuck, he had missed Donghyuck so much.
The kiss lasted only for a few seconds because Donghyuck broke their lips apart too quickly. Jaemin chased his lips with his own, but the squeeze on his waist made him realise just how loud it was. He looked around to see the Illichi hyungs hugging and cooing at Jisung and Jeno. Renjun was also crushing Mark between his arms. Luckily, none was focusing on them or they were just too desensitised to their PDA already.
“That was by far one of our best kisses.” Jaemin turned back towards his gorgeous boyfriend. Donghyuck’s cheeks were much redder than before and his eyes had literal sparkles in them. His whole face was beaming and Jaemin just had to lean in again. This time for a softer kiss, running his fingers through his hair. It was just as soft as he imagined it to be.
He whimpered when Donghyuck pulled away too quickly again and the older only chuckled, petting his sides. “You know we shouldn't kiss so openly.”
Jaemin pouted and motioned at Johnny, who was blocking the door. “No one’s gonna see anything. Johnny hyung is blocking the door.”
Donghyuck shook his head in amusement and tried to let go of Jaemin. Jaemin panicked and pulled the other closer again. “Wait, don't let go.”
Donghyuck gave him an apologetic look and glanced at the door for a fleeting second. Only the members and their manager knew about their relationship and hundreds of staff members, who liked to snap secret pictures of their idols, swarmed around. “Baby, we need to be careful. I promise after I greeted the others and took some pictures with the Hyungs’, I'm all yours.”
Jaemin huffed and nodded, letting go of him reluctantly. Haechan gave him a fleeting peck on the cheek before jumping on Jisung's back. Jaemin didn’t have time to get sad because Jaehyun had him already pulled into a hug two seconds later.
