"I thought you might be more comfortable here." Seonghwa leans on the divider between your seats.

"How very right you are. There is so much room here." You cozy into your seat deeper.

"Good."

The flight is around 2 hours, and the two of you spend that time talking and listening to music, sharing headphones. You take turns choosing every few songs, but you have very similar taste in music, so at some point, you just end up listening to his full playlist. You love this time. It isn't really private, but that two of you are just enjoying your time together and getting to know each other even better. It is so perfect.

When the plane lands, Seonghwa and the manager trade seats, again, so he can get his bag and exit in the order they need to. It is really nice being at the very front. Once the door is open, you're up and off in no time, following behind the managers, just trying to blend in a bit. You had your mask back on before you got off the plane, so if there are pictures of you with them, at least your full face wouldn't be out there. Not like they have to hide a choreographer traveling with the groups, but you don't want to deal with it all quite yet.

You are all led to a room where you'll be waiting until everyone can collectively move, and the vans will be outside. You are still planning to stay to help collect all the luggage before heading to the hotel, but you get placed with the group that is going straight there. When you try to tell them that you were going to stay, one of the managers lets you know not to worry about it and that you have been placed there for a reason.

Lexi catches up to you once she is off and loops her arm in yours. It startles you because you didn't see her coming.

"Oh my gosh! Lexi, I didn't even hear you coming!"

"Ah. Yes. I basically live in stealth mode. Photographer things. Which group are you in?"

"B. Right behind the guys."

"Me, too! Good. We can stick together! I was going to see about sitting next to you on the plane, but when I looked up, it seemed you were being moved to the front." You just smile at her, even though she can't really see through your mask.

The two of you just hang around, waiting to see when everyone is leaving. When the guys and group A are gathered to start making their way through the crowd, you guys start to pay extra attention. The guys will all go and get into their 2 vans, and you and the others in your group will get in the two vans behind them. The rest of the crew is getting on a bus to be brought with all the luggage once it's all out.

You watch the first group heading out. There isn't as much commotion before they get through the security gates, but clearly, some fans were on the same flight because the second they leave the room, they are followed. Once they get to the point of security, it is barricaded. It doesn't seem like there are a LOT of people, as it is a week day and still pretty early in the morning, but there are still enough to warrant the barriers.

The news stations follow them the whole way, giving them a little space, but it's still way too close. The guys all have their own ways to cope. You didn't really get to talk to Seonghwa after he moved seats back, but he looked in your direction before walking out, giving you a little smile. Your group isn't too far behind them. You have your own smaller group of security, but there aren't many people following your group. Most are tripping over themselves and each other to follow the guys. Where the barrier ends, security circles the group a lot closer until they are safely in their vans. Right before they are all able to make it in, there is a commotion, and you see three of the security team run over to take care of whatever it is.

You watch as Mingi is pushed a little in the crowd and see how he quickly gets led by another member of the security to quickly get into the van. You hold Lexi's hand a little tighter as you guys keep walking with your group, heading for the vans behind theirs. The crowd doesn't really bother you guys as you walk through it, as they dispersed pretty quickly once that whole situation took place. It must have just been a few people because the crowd as a whole took 3 giant steps back, which is what allowed you to move through it so easily.

You pull out your phone once inside and seated and ask Seonghwa to make sure Mingi is okay.

(Mars)

He's okay. Got a little scratch.
Did you guys get through, okay?

(Y/N)
Yeah. The crowd backed off pretty quick, and we are in our vans.
I'm so ready to get checked in and take a nap.

(Mars)
We have our meeting, but I'll be free after?

(Y/N)
It's okay. I think I'm going to go to the room assigned to me and Lexi and nap.
We can meet up after?

(Mars)
Just let me know when you're up, then?

(Y/N)
Of course 😘

It's a short trip to the hotel, but when you get there you're so happy. You and Lexi get what you have to your room and decide to shower before napping. There is nothing scheduled for today, but rest, so you aren't worried about much. You might see about eating with Seonghwa later, but right now, all you can think about is sleep.

You curl up under the covers and let sleep take you under.
