Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 59: Smile of Defeat

Once we got to the airport that's when it became real.

It's summer.

We were all waiting to board the plane. Looking at all of us taking up every seat, we kinda looked like a cult.

"Well look at all of you, there's like 9 seniors- I thought this was a senior trip" Ms. Baek made a 'joke'.

Me and Chaeyoung looked back and laughed a little.

Getting up early to drive all the way here was a pain.

But getting to hang out with Chaeyoung for 2 weeks was worth it.

"Flight to Geoje Island is Ready To Board"

-a lady sounded over the speakers.

"Okay everyone single file line! Hold hands! I'm gonna do a head count!" Ms. Jeong was leading everyone.

As I got my backpack, I caught a glimpse of Yeonjun.

He looked back at me and we awkwardly looked away.

"Whatever- this is my trip too, just ignore him" I thought to myself.

We were getting seated on the plane when I felt the urge to look behind me.

And sitting directly behind my seat was Yeonjun.

Yeonjun looked up from his phone and we froze, almost like he couldn't believe it either.

Honestly it was kind of funny but I just turned back and tried not to make it seem like I cared.

"Hey Hana.." Chaeyoung scooted close to me in a whispered tone.

"What" I whispered back sarcastically, not understanding why she was whispering in the first place.

"What happened between you and... Yeonjun" Chae whispered more & more quietly.

Then it clicked why she was whispering.

I sighed subconsciously.

Somewhere really deep down in me, I wished we were still close.

I hadn't talked to Yeonjun in months at that point.

Of course, Chaeyoung didn't know that. I hadn't told her anything about the hospital or how I cut Minho & Yeonjun off.

"I guess we just distanced since school ended" I shrugged.

The look on her face told me she was done prying.

So I slept for the entire flight, which wasn't very long.

When we got off the plane and on the bus, I kept bumping into Yeonjun....

And although he wasn't giving me dirty looks or avoiding me, it still felt so wrong being around each other and being so distant.

"Since you were asleep, I was looking up the hotel and Hana, it's so pretty- I know I call everything pretty but just wait" Chaeyoung said excitedly.

And when we got there, I realized Chaeyoung was right.

The area all our rooms were was on the main floor facing the beach. Since it was facing the beach, each room had a sliding door that opened into a bonfire area secluded from the rest of the hotel.

We basically had our own private beach.

"I feel bad for all the seniors that thought the trip was going to be boring" I laughed as I sat my stuff down on my bed.

Chaeyoung & I were rooming.

"Imagine their faces when they see all our posts online, I'd be pissed if I was them" I continued laughing.

It was about 5 pm when we got to the hotel, so I picked up my pijamas and walked towards the bathroom-

But Chae quickly stepped in front of me with her arms crossed.

"No. I'm not gonna let you waste a single second of this trip." She said in a serious tone.

"But shouldn't we rest before trying to go out??" I tried to reason with her.

I knew Chaeyoung was going to want to explore and go to as much places as possible.

"You literally slept the entire plane ride- come onnn" She tugged on my arm kiddingly.

I shot her a smile of defeat

"I hate how you can convince me to go out with you every single time" We both got our wallets and walked out.

And Chaeyoung always convinced me because we never went bored whenever it was just us two.

As the sky slowly turned orange and different shades of pink, I felt a sense of calm that I probably wouldn't have gotten by sleeping....

Walking around the island with Chae and visiting different shops was so fun I forgot we had to go back.

"Wait let's go in here it looks so cute-" Chaeyoung pointed at a cute cafe.

As we enjoyed our drinks before heading back, I smiled thinking about how nice everything was going so far.

Life truly did move on. Or at least that's what I thought at the time...
