((Admin Note: The site's location has changed since this thread!!))While Kangwan was gone on his trip to Korea, Thomas discovered that he was spending a lot more time than usual in his room because Skype was easiest on the computer and he didn't want to miss a call or message. He was pretty sure from some of his coworkers teasing him about it at work that he was checking his phone far more often than usual as well, but he couldn't bring himself to care. He was anxious to hear from Kangwan.
He knew that Kangwan was busy, and that it was a trip as much or more for business than pleasure, but he knew that Kangwan was stressed and worried. He was sitting at his computer, homework done, and he stared at the screen, willing Kangwan to message him.

Kangwan was tired. Simple as that. His trip had been a whirlwind of things so far, from catching up with his band and labelmates, to talking with the CEO, and suddenly it was already Wednesday. He let out a relaxed sigh, resting on his elbows on one of his bandmate's beds as he booted up his computer. He finally had some downtime, though he was a bit impressed he wasn't using it to sleep. He had caught up with the band's new dances as well, and had some videos he was bringing home with him so he could keep practicing. He felt like he'd been here a week already, considering how much he had done. He clicked on Skype, waiting for it to start up. He knew it was relatively early in the morning in California, but it was technically earlier morning for him, his eyes glancing to the clock and seeing it was nearly 2am, but his band mates had finally left, letting him skip this dance practice, gently teasing that he was out of practice. He hoped he didn't fall asleep while talking with Thomas (if he was online). His heart skipped a beat as he saw that his boyfriend was indeed online.
He pressed the button for a video call, chewing on one of the strings to his sweater, anxiously waiting for Thomas to answer, hoping it was a good time for Thomas to do a video call.
((Note: if my math is right, it'd be about 9am for Thomas. If you had a different time in mind, we can work it out.))

Thomas saw Kangwan come online, and he was about halfway through typing a question when he got an incoming call. He took a split second to decide if he was OK with answering Kangwan's call in only sweatpants and a towel around his shoulders since he'd showered after his morning run, but he only let the call get through about half a ring before he answered it, smiling a little bit and waving as he came online and waited for his volume to come on.
He could tell that Kangwan was tired, and he knew that it was late there, and the second he could, he blurted out, "How are you doing? It's late there isn't it? I'm glad you've called. I miss you."

Kangwan was a bit flustered by seeing Thomas in just a towel, and though he could assume his boyfriend was wearing pants, he couldn't see them and therefore wasn't actually sure. He hid a good portion of his face in the pillow he was cuddling, taking almost thirty seconds to actually respond, peeking his head up from the pillow even though his face still felt hot, "I'm okay. It has been very busy. Yes, it is about 2am. I really miss you, too." He said, not even realizing how much he'd been speaking Korean until he heard and had to speak English again. He paused for a moment before speaking again, "My band members went to dance practice, and let me stay in the dorm. They say I need to catch up with them." He said with a slight chuckle. He perked up with an, "Oh!" clapping his hands together, though it didn't make a sound as his hands got caught up in the blankets. He left his hands there nonchalantly, "My CEO said it okay to stay and graduate in California. But if I decide to stay after that, they will terminate my contract. He says it it encouraged to participate in V app calls again, or do my own sometimes. Little activities until I can join my band again."

Thomas smiled as Kangwan babbled, glad that Kangwan seemed to be doing alright. He said tentatively, "That sounds good. You want to come back and graduate here and not stay in Korea with your band now?"
He sort of hated himself for a moment for asking, but he really hoped that he'd understood that correctly. He said shyly, "I got my registration for doing some of my classes at Golden West next year done, and I've got a little bit of a surprise I guess. I'm taking half of my classes at the high school and half at the college, but one of the classes I'm taking next year at the college is Korean. I, um, had been thinking for a while about seeing about studying abroad for at least part of college, but I'm going to need to improve some language skill for that. I'm taking math and science there too, but I'll be taking AP English and AP World History at the high school and of course still being on sports teams."
He waited for Kangwan's reaction, hoping that it would in fact make him happy to hear.

Kangwan hesitated a moment before answering carefully, as if he were talking to paparazzi rather than his boyfriend. "Although I miss my band, I want to graduate in California. I already moved in the middle of the semester once, and it is tiring to think of moving again and going to a different school again. My CEO wants me to graduate though, and I want to continue to college, so I have no choice in stopping school." He explained.
He then let Thomas talk, excitement filling his body, and showing clearly on his face, by the time Thomas was done talking, a wide smile was on Kangwan's face. "That is so exciting! If you learn Korean maybe we can go to the same college here and it'll be so much fun and I could show you around. It would be so much fun!" He said loudly and quickly, only after the fact realizing he was talking in Korean. He let out a sheepish laugh, "I will miss you at the high school, then. But I am very happy for you. If you ever need help with Korean, I will be happy to help." He told Thomas in a calmer voice. He smiled and reiterated his previous words that had been in his home language, "I hope we can come to Korea and study together."

Thomas smiled as Kangwan babbled, though he couldn't understand what his boyfriend was saying, he could certainly hear the excitement. He said slightly teasing, "Well, I couldn't understand that yet, but yeah, it would be cool if we could go to school close to each other at least. I mean, we'd be doing really different majors, though I'm not even entirely sure what my major would be, and I might have to do a year or two in the US before hand because I don't know how fast I'd be able to get to the level I needed."
He didn't add that, depending on how much he liked it, since he was really thinking that he wanted to teach long term, he might stay even longer as a teacher in Korea if he could. He didn't want to think about that topic too hard because he also had commitments here. If Teagan needed him, that would come before his desire to explore, and that was still so far out that he couldn't know if he and Kangwan would last that long, though he certainly wanted to believe it.
He remembered from an earlier conversation that Kangwan had said that only some of his bandmates knew that he wasn't straight, and that there was some awkwardness there. He asked tentatively, "How, um, secretive are you being about this phone call. Should I be careful in case someone comes back?"
