you and kei have been tiktok mutuals for a long time. it all started when he reached out to you, complimenting your profile picture, and you two kept a conversation going, and in the blink of an eye you two were great friends. you would talk everyday, call when available, hence to both of you two being busy.

one day, kei had texted you, saying it's urgent and he needs to call you. he explained through the phone that he had a volleyball tournament in your city, and he'll be in town for the weekend. he was too late to book a hotel, so he asked if he could stay with you, and of course you had agreed. it was a little nerve-racking though, you two had only seen each other through screens, not in person.

a week passes by and it's the day he flys in, and you're at the gate he said he'd land at, waiting for his plane to arrive. the plane still hasn't landed, so you decide to get food while you wait. after around 15 minutes, you're walking back to the gate, and you see kei looking around in the distance, and your phone rings. you answer and it's kei.

"hey, where are you? i don't see you at my gate." he asks, sounding a little pissed off and annoyed.

"look ahead, tsukki." you say and smile, waving your arm frantically in the air, and he spots you.
