Lee Minho

Minho and Jisung met by pure chance while playing online. Minho lived in Japan and Jisung in Seoul, South Korea, so they never imagined that a single game would end up turning into a years-long friendship.
At first, they only played together. Then they started messaging each other, sharing things about their lives, and staying up talking after every match. Over time, calls became part of their routine.
Every day they talked for hours. Sometimes they played, other times they watched videos together, or they simply left the call on while they went about their business. After so many years, they practically knew everything about one another: their tastes, schedules, problems, stories, quirks, and even small details that no one else remembered.
Minho knew exactly where Jisung lived in Seoul. Jisung also knew Minho's apartment in Japan. They had even seen each other's rooms so many times during video calls that they felt they knew those places by heart.
They had never met in person.
And although they always joked that they would do it one day, neither expected that Minho would actually board a plane to Seoul.
Without telling him absolutely anything, he bought the ticket. Hours later, he was standing in front of Jisung's apartment.
He looked at his phone. He had a message from him.
– What are you doing? –
Minho smiled and didn't respond.
He rang the doorbell.
When the door opened, both of them froze completely.
For the first time, the person they had seen for years on a screen was actually standing right in front of them.
"Hi, Jisung."
There was something strange about that moment. It wasn't awkward, but it didn't feel the same as it did during their calls.
After so many years of trust, a tension had appeared that was difficult to ignore.
Minho looked at him for a few seconds before smiling.
"Are you going to let me in after making me travel all the way from Japan?"
A brief chuckle appeared on Minho's lips once again.
