Faded Sun| SunSun

[Bonus- Chapter 1]

"Do you think he'll make it?" Jungwon asked nervously, taking a glance to the people currently boarding the plane.

Heeseung had his eyes fixed there too. "Well he's got five minutes, so it's not looking likely."

"Put some faith in my baby brother, he wouldn't miss this flight." Mi-Sun said with confidence, she might have been the only one thinking Sunoo would make it. "Give him two more minutes, then we'll board, okay?"

The whole group, minus SunSun, were gathered at Incheon International Airport, just about to board their flight. The Winter Olympics were well under way, and the group were headed to Italy to support Sunghoon for the final of the men's singles skating event.

"You'd think for a flight this important, he would be a bit more organised. Like forgetting your passport at home, rookie mistake." Jay commented, leaning themself against the white pillar behind them.

"You would have, if I hadn't reminded you." Jungwon sassed, sending Jay a knowing glance.

"That's beside the point. Even if you had to remind me, I'm still here, not about to miss my flight." Jay replied.

"Well Sunoo doesn't have anyone to remind him, Sunghoon's already in Italy." Jungwon stated, hearing Mi-Sun call the two minute mark. He pulled up the handle of his mini suitcase, dragging it as he walked with the group.  "He made a silly mistake, but he's probably super stressed, the finals are tomorrow."

Jake adjusted the strap of his backpack, since it was badly twisted. "I still can't believe Sunghoon's in the finals, like we all knew he was good, but it's his first Olympics. What if he actually wins a medal?" 

"That would be so cool." Riki replied, helping Jake fix his strap. 

"I think he's got a good chance to be fair." Jay said, tapping the side of the plane before they walked inside. "I've seen him practicing his free program, and it's really great."

"Yeah it really is." Mi-Sun agreed, scanning the isles for their seats. "I watched the full thing a few weeks ago, and it literally took my breath away."

Heeseung led the group, finding their seats first. He immediately pulled open the overhead compartment, placing in his bag, then taking Mi-Sun's and doing the same.

"Who's sitting where?" Jake asked, handing his bag to Heeseung.

"I don't remember, it doesn't matter though, we have the row anyway." Heeseung shrugged, storing Jake's bag, then shutting the overhead compartment.

The plane was arranged in a two seat, three seat, two seat pattern. Meaning, that when they booked seven tickets, they filled up a whole row. No one really paid attention to the seat numbers on their tickets.

Heeseung and Mi-Sun took the two seats on the left, Jake and Riki filled the middle seat, leaving one for Sunoo, then Jay and Jungwon took the two seats on the right.

"Has anyone heard from Sun-"

"I'm here!" Collapsing down onto the empty seat next to Riki, Sunoo panted out his words, sweat pouring down his face. "I made it."

After a nearly thirteen hour flight, the group arrived in Italy. Milan was pleasantly sunny, but since it was February, the weather was still pretty cold. The group had boarded their plane around midnight, so with the time difference, it was now around four in the afternoon. They could already feel the exhaustion setting in, but they had just enough energy left in them, to make it to the hotel.

They clambered into taxis, taking in the beautiful city as they drove to the hotel. None of them had ever been to Milan, so they were quite excited that the Olympics just happened to be held here. It took roughly fifth teen minutes to arrive at the hotel, and once they had, the group hurried out of the vehicles, and into the building.
