The next morning, Minji and Beomgyu found themselves waking up groggily early in the morning, but thanks to Mrs. Rin's meticulous preparations for their 5-day trip to Japan, everything was set, and they felt grateful for her thoughtfulness.

With their suitcases in hand, they bid farewell to Mrs. Rin and stepped into the waiting car that would take them to the airport. The atmosphere inside the car was filled with anticipation, but also a hint of awkwardness. However, as the journey to the airport progressed, they began to engage in conversations and throwing casual insults at each other. 

As they reached the bustling airport, Beomgyu and Minji made their way to the check-in counter, where they efficiently completed the necessary procedures for their flight to Tokyo, Japan. 

Once aboard the plane, they settled into their seats next to each other. The dimmed cabin lights and the hum of the engines created a soothing atmosphere, which allowed them to relax a bit. Throughout the flight, Beomgyu couldn't help but steal glances at Minji, admiring her beauty and wondering about the complexities of their growing connection. 

Amidst the low hum of the airplane engines and the soft ambient lighting, Beomgyu and Minji found themselves drawn closer together. The usually sarcastic and playful banter between them had given way to a subtle tenderness that neither of them could deny. Their shoulders slightly touched, sending tingles down Beomgyu's spine, and he couldn't resist the urge to lean in just a little closer. 

As time passed, Beomgyu noticed Minji's head gently drooping to the side, her eyes showing signs of fatigue from the lack of sleep. Beomgyu instinctively reached out, his hand finding its place beneath her head. With a gentle nudge, he guided her head to rest on his shoulders, a surprisingly intimate gesture that felt strangely right. The warmth of her breath on his neck and the softness of her cheek against his skin created a sensation that Beomgyu hadn't anticipated.

The rhythmic motion of the plane and the comforting touch of Minji's arms wrapped around his hand lulled Beomgyu into a sleepy state. As the minutes turned to hours, Beomgyu's eyelids grew heavy, and he found himself drifting to sleep, his head gently resting against Minji's. 

As the plane's descent began, the soft announcement woke both Minji and Beomgyu from their slumber. Stretching their limbs and rubbing their eyes, they exchanged sleepy smiles, feeling somewhat refreshed. 

As they stepped out of the aircraft and onto the tarmac, a rush of cool air greeted them, a stark contrast to the warmth they had felt on the plane. Minji's eyes widened with excitement as she took in the sights and sounds of Tokyo, a city she was no stranger to due to her frequent visits for concerts and fan meets. But this time, it felt different, as if she was experiencing the city in a whole new light with Beomgyu by her side. 

As they made their way through the airport, Minji noticed a sleek black car parked just outside the terminal. The driver, dressed in a professional chauffeur's uniform, stood by the car, holding the door open and gesturing for them to step inside. Minji smiled at the thoughtfulness of Beomgyu's father, who had arranged for their transportation. 

As they made their way to the waiting car, Minji noticed the curious glances from fellow passengers and airport staff. The fame that came with being a K-pop idol was undeniable, and she could feel the weight of the public's attention settling on her shoulders. It was not unusual for fans and onlookers to recognise them, and she could see a few people discreetly taking out their phones, ready to capture a glimpse of the famous couple. 

Despite the invasion of privacy, Minji felt a sense of reassurance when Beomgyu held her hand. His warm touch and gentle strokes with his fingers provided a comforting shield against the prying eyes and the attention they garnered. She squeezed his hand back, silently conveying her gratitude for his support.
