𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘/𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃, she was not expecting to come back in tears. The plane journey had been filled with mixed emotions, and the weight of it all was overwhelming. As the aircraft touched down, Y/N hastily wiped her eyes, hoping to conceal any evidence of her crying. She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself before disembarking.
"Y/N, I couldn't even be bothered to speak to you."
Sniffling softly, Y/N gathered her belongings and followed the stream of passengers, making her way toward customs. Each step felt heavy, and the air around her seemed suffocating. She longed for a moment of solitude to collect her thoughts and find solace.
"You don't mean that. I know you don't."
Finally clearing customs, Y/N retrieved her luggage and exited the airport, determined to put on a brave face despite the turmoil within. She walked past the bustling crowd, her gaze fixed on the ground, trying to shield herself from prying eyes.
"I was only trying to be a nice friend. You're important to me."
Amidst the sea of people, Y/N's eyes darted around until they landed on a familiar figure approaching her. A rush of both relief and anxiety surged through her as she recognized the person waving excitedly. The fake smile on her face wavered for a moment, but she summoned all her strength and plastered it back on, ready to face whatever awaited her beyond the airport's walls.
"Kai, hey," The girl managed a smile, setting her things down before enveloping him in a warm hug. Kai returned the embrace, holding her gently, relieved to see her again.
"You alright?" Kai's voice carried concern as he noticed the absence of her usual vibrant energy in her eyes. There was a hint of distance, a change in her demeanor since she had left for Qatar.
She nodded slowly and brushed past him.
Not wanting to push her further, Kai simply picked up her suitcases and led her to his car. She settled into the passenger seat, waiting for Kai to join her before they drove back to her place.
"So, how was it?" Kai tried to initiate a conversation, hoping to bring a sense of normalcy. Y/N mustered a smile, trying her best to project a semblance of happiness.
"It was good, really fun," she replied, her voice lacking its usual enthusiasm. "Everyone is so great."
When it was confirmed England was moving on to the semi-finals, a surge of elation swept through Y/N. She clapped gleefully as the final whistle blew, reveling in the team's well-deserved victory and the celebrations that followed.
