Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she gathered her things slowly before exiting her van. Today was their flight to Germany and maybe it was just her overthinking or being anxious of her first overseas trip for a film but she didn't sleep very well.

"What if I can't get the light right? Ah...did I pack enough indigestion medicine? I'm not sure if the food in Germany will be okay on my stomach." Pulling on her hat, she slowly exited the van as she picked at her fingers and nervously played with her fingers. She waited for her manager and her staff to get their bags and pulled her carry on luggage with her. They had quite a bit to take this time around with the multiple style changes for the honeymoon and an empty luggage just for souvenirs. She reached into her totebag for her headphones when she heard someone call her name. 

Turning around, she felt a calm wash over when she saw him walking over to her. Dropping her headphones she returned his greeting by waving her hand.  It was funny how all her anxieties and worries vanished the moment she saw him smiling and walking towards her. It had only been a month or so since they had started filming but she felt like she could trust him, lean on him, and know that he'll be there to support her. 

"Oppa." Holding out an iced coffee for her, she blinked before taking it both her hands. "You always take care of me so well." She smiled softly before taking a sip of the drink. 

"You make people want to take care of you." He chuckled before taking a sip of his own drink and looking around the group that was assembling. 

"How did you sleep last night?" 

"Me? Oh..Uhmn alright I suppose? I squeezed in a quick bike ride early this morning cause I had too much energy." 

"Wah...You're so diligent." She said with admiration before she let out a yawn and he soon followed. "Oh..." She pointed at him with a playful smile. "You just yawned. I guess Oppa is still human." 

"Yah, that was a sympathy yawn. You know they say that people who are close to each other yawn when the other person does." 

"Does that mean we are close, Oppa?" She leaned in playfully, batting her eyes with a cheerful smile. And she couldn't help but giggle when he spluttered and looked away, his ears very red now.

"Wahh...is this how you treat all your co-stars?" He huffed as he tried to gather himself and not smile at how happy she looked. 

"Nope. Just you, Oppa." He looked at her stunned which only made her smile grow. "Your reactions are the best after all." 

"Yah..."He whined. "I'm going to get you back for all your pranks." He said with a sigh before he looked at the ticket in her hand, a small frown appearing on his lips. 

"Ah...It seems as though we aren't sitting together.... I'm sitting on the other side of the plane...." He sighed. "I see that you also like window seat." 

"Yeah...I like looking at the clouds..."She said softly before bit her bottom lip shyly and looked away when she heard her manager call for her. "Then..." She waved her hand before turning and walking away.

"아쉽다. (What a shame.) I would have liked to sit next to him." 


Thirteen hours of being so close yet so far seemed like hell. He could always talk to her when they could take off their seatbelts but that would be at most a five minute conversation and he couldn't do that too often without looking suspicious. He bit his thumb before he had his light bulb idea and quickly grabbed the director and smiled. "Hyung...can you help me out?" 

"Mmn what is it Soo Hyun-ah?" 

"So you see...you know how most of the honeymoon scenes in Germany is basically just ad libs and just us feeling the romance of the city like documentary style? And Germany is a foreign country so it's not like we are used to the environment and we need that time to get used to the air, the lighting, and you know.." He tapped his shoulder with a strained smile. Why isn't he getting what I'm trying to say. Why is he looking at me like I'm crazy?   눈치 어디서!? (Where is his sense/Why can't he notice what I'm trying to say?)
