⋆: closing the distance ⋆ l.hb
❝distance means so little, when someone means so much... ♡ ❞
vixx ⋆ lee hongbin ⋆ 1631
In the four years you’ve been dreaming, you never thought your dream would come true. You never thought this day would come. After the neverending months of calls that lasted for what felt like forever, series of texts that went on for hours and the collection of tiny gifts and mementos that you held close to your heart, you were gonna be able to close that distance. The thousands and thousands of miles of distance that held you and Hongbin apart for nearly four years now.
Four years. You spent four years constantly checking your phone for a new text from Hongbin, or a new Twitter notification, or anything to stay updated on his life and vice versa for him. You spent four years on the phone, calling with him despite his busy schedule, even as an idol. You spent four years clinging onto the little times you got to Skype with him, despite the drastic time zone difference. You spent four years loving a Korean idol, and you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
To say you were amazed you even had a relationship with an idol is an understatement. He was famous, he was someone untouchable, yet you managed to have a connection with him— not through your love for the Korean culture, but rather through the love for games— especially Overwatch.
You would had never expected to meet the love of your love over Overwatch of all things. You never really thought that you would have a life-changing experience because of a game. You loved games, yes, but you weren’t really one to revolve your life around playing them. Though you did spent a lot of hours playing League or Overwatch, you wouldn’t deny that...
It was funny how you met Hongbin honestly. You had a friend, Jooyoung, who came from Korea who was surprisingly close to some idols. They weren’t popular idols, but they were still idols, and it had amazed you that Jooyoung still kept in touch with them despite their busy schedule. Jooyoung had invited you to play Overwatch with a few of her friends and their friends, and that’s how you ended up in a call with Hongbin and a few other people, playing the addictive game.
You don’t remember how or why you guys clicked— you just did. Despite your poor Korean back then, you managed to hold pretty interesting conversations with Hongbin that left you wanting to talk to him more. Overwatch, addicting as it was, helped you two grew closer, the two of you usually playing against or with each other whenever the two had the time.
The two of you became close friends insanely fast, and the next thing you knew, you were constantly talking to Hongbin whenever you had the chance. However, the two of you didn’t get into a relationship until a year after your friendship started. You were both nervous and scared of getting into a relationship, with him being an idol and all, but the two of you couldn’t ignore the intensity of your feelings. So you decided it was worth a shot.
It was hard. You weren’t gonna lie. It was hard not being able to feel Hongbin’s arms around you when you were having a bad anxiety attack, and it was hard not being able to feel his plush lips against yours. It was also really hard to keep your relationship a secret from the online world, to protect both you and Hongbin. While Hongbin constantly reminded you that his fans— Starlights— would accept you, you still felt burdened, and afraid that you weren’t enough for him.
Despite that, despite the distance and despite all of the insecurities, the two of you pulled through. While the two of you couldn’t be there for one another physically, you always knew he was there for you mentally. The days when he was there for you physically were days you cherished the most. With his busy schedule, he rarely got the chance to sit down and talk to you for hours, much less come visit you for a few days, but whenever he had free days, Hongbin didn’t miss the chance to fly over to your country to visit you.
You, on the other hand, often booked flights to Korea to see him, whether it’d be for a concert or in private. You attended a few of his fanmeets, being able to showcase your love from him in public, despite you having to— not necessarily “fake” your love for him, but rather hide what you truly felt, and Hongbin had to do the same. In the end, you both got to see each other, the breaks between each visit going from six months to only two.
Halfway through your third year of the relationship, Hongbin had asked you to permanently move to Korea— and possibly move in with him. While he was still contracted to Jellyfish Entertainment as a VIXX member, he had the choice to move out and have his own apartment, and he wanted to share it with you. You were perplexed by the idea at the time, but the thought of living with Hongbin and being able to wake up in his embrace sent butterflies fluttering in your stomach.
It was a lot of planning, a lot of talking to both of your families, his company and whoever else had to be involved. At first, his own members were against it, fearful that the relationship would have been leaked and you would be in danger, however Hongbin had reasoned with them. He wasn’t a rookie idol anymore, he had the right to have relationships, and he knew Starlights would understand. He believed in Starlights, and he believed that your relationship would last.
On the other hand, your family was quite worried about you leaving the comfort of your home and culture and taking on a new one. They respected you as an adult and your decisions, however it didn’t stop them from the constant warnings and often or not questioning your decision. You would be leaving your family, your home, your country— everything you knew, to be with someone who lives in a whole different country and who lead a whole different life from yours.
You knew it would take awhile to get used to South Korea. You were thankful you were already fluent in the language, having studied it for most of your high school and college life, plus conversations with Hongbin were 99% in Korean rather than in English. With your constant visits to Korea, you were familiar with the culture, and one time, during your early college life, you had the chance to study abroad in the country. Thanks to that experience, you knew little bit about the living conditions and how they acted. Despite that, it was still a life changing decision—you knew that, but you knew, without a doubt, that this is what you wanted for your future. You knew it was gonna be tough switching your entire life around, but you firmly believed you would be spending the rest of your years with Hongbin.
Your family trusted you, and they trusted Hongbin. It was an emotional goodbye, and you had promised them that you would visit for holidays whenever you could. You were gonna miss your family, there was no doubt you were gonna miss them like crazy, but you knew that you would have felt even more miserable if you were to wait out your relationship with Hongbin. It was a tough decision, but you knew you made the right one.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Seoul, South Korea—” The flight attendant's voice snapped you out of your small daze, and you felt excitement and nervousness bubble all at once. Finally, after four years, you’ll be closing the distance forever. In a few minutes, you would be in the arms of your love. Once you were given the okay to depart the plane, you were rushing down the aisles and through the airport hallway. You had sent a quick text to Hongbin about your arrival, and you couldn’t wait to see him waiting there for you.
Passing the gate, you could easily spot out Hongbin standing there, an uncontrollable smile on his face, topped with his cute dimples that you adored. In his hands was a bouquet of roses. Cheesy, but it warmed your heart at the thought of him getting something for you. He looked just as anxious and nervous as you, but the excitement was clear.
“Hongbin!” You called out, a big grin breaking out as you quickly ran over to the male, jumping into his wide arms with an excited cry, tears already pricking at your eyes. Hongbin let out a laugh, hugging you close to him as he kissed you lightly on the forehead. You reluctantly pulled away from him to meet him with a longing kiss on his lips, which he reciopated with glee, pulling you impossibly closer.
Pulling away slightly breathless, you smiled brightly at him. “Hi,” you whispered.
Hongbin mirrored your big grin, kissing you once more on the forehead, “Hi,” he breathed out in relief. He took in all of your features, his brown eyes warm as his smile grew impossibly wider. “Hi,” he repeated, burying his head into the crook of your shoulder. You could feel his grin on your skin and you couldn’t help but laugh softly, voice almost ready to break in happiness. “Hi, welcome home,” Hongbin mumbled and you couldn’t stop a tear from leaving your eye.
Home. You were home. In his arms. You get to call Hongbin your home for the rest of your life and the thought made you laugh softly as you hugged him closer.
“Hi, I’m home.”
