Comfort

As Y/n's eyelids fluttered open, she glanced out of the plane window. The night enveloped the world below, yet a myriad of shimmering lights illuminated the landscape, painting a breathtaking tableau. The aircraft, poised for landing, descended gracefully amidst a tapestry of twinkling lights, casting an enchanting spell upon the scene.

Moments later, Y/n found herself amidst the bustling crowd outside the airport, scanning eagerly for her father. The night air crackled with anticipation as her father's excitement palpably filled the atmosphere. He had eagerly rushed to the airport, brimming with anticipation, eager to welcome his daughter back home.

And when she spotted her father, she couldn't contain her joy and excitement. With a burst of happiness, she exclaimed, "PAPA!" and dashed towards him, embracing him tightly, just like a child reuniting with their beloved parent.

Just as she was revelling in the warmth of her father's embrace, someone tapped her on the shoulder, interrupting the moment.

Y/n was taken aback and exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

With a gleam of excitement, Saanvi replied, "Surprise, Cherry!"

Y/n, still puzzled, responded, "But you were supposed to come tomorrow, how did you get here before me?"

Saanvi beamed with excitement and explained, "I wanted to surprise you, so I said I'd come tomorrow. And now, I'm staying at your place tonight and heading home tomorrow."

Overwhelmed with joy, Y/n pulled Saanvi into a tight hug, as if they had been separated for years, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes at the sheer joy of their reunion.

Interrupting their conversation, Y/n's father chimed in, "Are you two going to chat all night here, or are we heading home?"

Both giggled and replied, "Yes, yes, let's go home."

Settling into the car, Y/n remarked, "It feels like I'm coming back to India after so many years, even though it's only been three months. It feels so good. I can't wait to just relax in my room, on my bed."

"And you think I'll let you sleep? Not a chance! Tonight, you're going to spill all the beans about your time in Korea and about Jiju. I'm so excited to hear every little detail about you and Jiju. Then, tomorrow morning, I'll leave. After that, you can sleep," Saanvi said jokingly, chuckling in her usual playful manner.

After a while, both changed into comfortable clothes and came out. Y/n's mother had prepared hot, delicious food even at such a late hour because she knew the girls must be hungry... a mother's love.

As they were enjoying their meal, Y/n's brother suddenly opened Y/n's entire luggage. "Aaru, what are you doing in my stuff?"

He chuckled, saying, "Just seeing what treasures you've brought me from Korea."

Y/n abandoned her food, grabbed her slippers, and chased after him, while Aaru ran away, leaving the bag behind to avoid Y/n's wrath. "Aaru, I'm telling you, if my luggage isn't in the same condition as it was, I'll give you such a beating. And I won't even give you the things I brought for you from Korea."

"Alright, alright, I'll close your luggage, but only if you eat your food after leaving your slippers," Aaru said, running and laughing.

Y/n's parents and Saanvi watched, laughing and commenting, "Their Tom and Jerry routine has started as soon as they arrived."

After finishing dinner, everyone retired to bed. Once in their room, Saanvi initiated a KBC (means questions bank) session, bombarding Y/n with questions about Taehyung: "How's he doing? How much do you love him? What memorable moments have you shared? Tell me all the juicy details..." and so on. Despite already knowing everything, as Y/n used to share everything with her over the phone, Saanvi wanted to delve into more details.
