Kiss Me Under the Stars

Chapter 18

~~~~~~~ Flight: Later ~~~~~~~

"Woohyun~~ Move~~" Ravi-Hyung whined, pushing my shoulder. "I want to sit next to Noona-Dongsaeng~~"

I groaned and then, after more whining from him, reluctantly unbuckled my seatbelt and migrated to Ravi's seat beside Sanghyuk. "Hello Woohyun," he greeted with a smile.

"Hi Sanghyuk," I replied, grinning. "So, since we really barely know each other, why don't we swap stories?"

"I'd like that," he agreed. "Okay, so who should start...?"

Hyuk and I spent the majority of the first leg of the flight chatting and talking about our lives. After sharing our life stories, I felt like we were the closest people in the world. Eventually, he nodded to sleep and I followed suit.

Jiyeon awakened us with poking and then pointed at the flight attendants moving up and down the aisles, serving dinner. She smiled at both of us as she placed our meal trays down on our seat back tray tables. "Anything to drink?"

"Do you have Dynamic?" I asked her curiously. She nodded and I grinned. "I'll have one please."

"Of course Sir, and you Sir?" she inquired, turning to look at Hyuk.

He tapped his chin and then said, "I'll have Volcano, please."

"Excellent choice Sir." She bowed to both of us and travelled back to the front of the plane to grab our energy drinks.

I leaned towards Sanghyuk and whispered, "I feel weird being called 'Sir'."

He laughed and agreed, "You and me both." The flight attendant returned quickly and handed us both our energy drinks. We thanked her and then Hyuk stared at his Volcano. "Do we really want to drink these when we have to spend so much more time on the plane...?"

I pursed my lips as I stared at my Dynamic and then shrugged and took a sip. "Hey, the worst thing that can happen is that we don't get any sleep!"

Boy... Was I wrong...

~~~~~~~ Ravi ~~~~~~~

Woohyun and Sanghyuk were drinking Volcano and Dynamic on the other side of the plane. Business Class passengers were in for quite a show. Sure enough, eventually the two started giggling uncontrollably.

The giggling escalated into them tittering away while they attempted to hold a comprehensible conversation. The whole entirety of First Class was staring at them at one point until KREST Manager-Hyung stood and handed Woohyun a packet. He stared at it and then swallowed whatever was in it down. Hyuk did the same once he received one.

Both of them were out like lights within the hour and I laughed while I spoke with Noona-Dongsaeng. We began a game of UNO with N-Hyung and Kibum and I sighed as I drew my fourth card in a row from the pile. About two hours after Woohyun and Sanghyuk had been knocked out, they both yawned and sat up.

Woohyun walked back over to me and complained about how he was unable to sleep properly on planes unless he had Hyomin next to him. I knew that there was a reason they always sat together on the plane... Whenever Hyomin took selcas on the plane, Woohyun would be next to her, either unconscious or nodding to sleep.

I groaned and stood up, bid Noona-Dongsaeng goodbye, and then went back to my own seat beside Hyuk. Both Woohyun and Hyuk had nodded back to sleep. The only people that were still awake were me, Noona-Dongsaeng, the Managers who were working, and Kibum.

There were a few times that Noona-Dongsaeng and I attempted to hold a conversation across the plane. All of them ended with the Manager-Hyungs scolding us. The flight attendant, taking pity on us, allowed us to sit in the flight attendant seats for a little while to talk.

We ended up playing a game of One Card with the flight attendant and then it turned into Donkey. We were laughing and chatting casually while we played. She was a vey impressive woman. "So, you were really in the American Navy?" I asked her with wide eyes.

"I was," she confirmed. "I served in Iraq and then became a flight attendant. War isn't for everyone..."

"I don't think that war is for anyone!" Noona-Dongsaeng exclaimed in shock. She laughed and nodded in agreement. "Wonsik-ah," she yawned. "I think I'm going to rest for a little bit. Woohyun's kept me up for so long, but I'm determined to get some rest on a plane for once!"

I laughed and questioned, "So, he can only sleep on planes when he's with you, but you can't sleep when he's with you? I don't think that's a very fair trade."

"It isn't," she agreed promptly. "However, Woohyun is out like a light! There's no way he can bug me this time!" I nodded thoughtfully in agreement and she gave me a small hug before returning to her seat. I thanked the flight attendant for allowing us to have so much freedom on the plane and she nodded. Returning to my seat with Sanghyuk, I yawned and stretched luxuriously before reclining my seat into the bed position and then falling asleep happily.

~~~~~~~ Woohyun: Seoul ~~~~~~~

A thud jostled me awake and I blinked rapidly. Sunlight streamed through the windows of the plane and I jerked forward in my seat as the force from the plane braking acted on my body. Hyomin, bless her, grabbed my shoulder and yanked me back into a healthy sitting position and I thanked her profusely.

"Be more careful Woohyun," she scolded, patting my head with a worried expression as I rubbed my stiff neck.

I groaned and muttered, "I think I pulled something... Do we have any Flexaril at home?"

"DonJi pulls something every other week, of course we do," she laughed. "But Kibum's going to have to show you where it is. Soohyun, L.Joe, Neil, JR, Jiyong, Taeyang, and Yoseob are taking me out for lunch. If I'm lucky, Kyung and U-Kwon will be back and they can come too."

"Leaving us for a bunch of guys," Kibum mumbled, shaking his head with a click of his tongue. "How could you?"

She laughed and stood before stepping over me into the aisle and grabbing her backpack from the overhead compartment. KREST followed her off the plane with VIXX and our managers close behind. As we waited out on the sidewalk, I turned to my Hyungs in VIXX and bowed along with the rest of my members. "Thank you for performing with us," we all told them with grins before straightening.

"Thank you as well for allowing us to perform with you," they all replied, bowing to us with smiles.

"I'll miss you Hyomin~~!" Hackyeon-Hyung cried, hugging her as she blushed. We all exchanged hugs and numbers before parting to go our separate ways. There was a honk and Hyomin waved to Soohyun-Hyung who was waiting in a van with the rest of U-Kiss. Kevin released a squeal and rushed forward before tackling Eli as he ran out of the van.

"See you at the apartment KREST!" Min-Dong called, waving to us and running after Kevin before hopping into the car and driving away. I rolled my eyes and exchanged knowing smiles with Kibum, Jiyeon, Eunsung, and Dongjin.

Yuri and Aecha stared between the five of us with confused expressions and I laughed and ruffled Jung Maknae's hair. She growled at me playfully, slightly annoyed at me wrecking her hair.
