The next morning, the sun was just beginning to rise as Y/N and Namjoon woke up early for their journey home. The villa was quiet, the air still holding the serenity of the last few days. They moved quietly, not wanting to wake their daughter just yet, and packed up the last of their things.
After everything was ready, Y/N gently picked up their daughter, who stirred slightly but stayed asleep in her mother's arms. Namjoon checked the villa one last time, making sure they hadn't left anything behind, and then they made their way to the front, where the staff had gathered to see them off.
"Thank you for everything," Y/N said, her voice warm with gratitude.
The staff smiled warmly. "It was a pleasure having you. We hope to see you again someday."
One of the staff members handed Y/N and Namjoon a small wrapped gift, a thoughtful present for their daughter. "Something to remember your first family trip by," they said kindly.
Namjoon took the gift, touched by the gesture. "Thank you so much."
After bidding their goodbyes, they headed to the car waiting to take them to the airport. The drive was peaceful, the island waking up as the morning light washed over it. Y/N and Namjoon sat in comfortable silence, occasionally exchanging smiles, reflecting on the wonderful time they had spent together.
At the airport, they checked in smoothly, though Y/N couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at leaving. The island had been a place of such joy and relaxation for their little family. But she also knew they had much to look forward to once they returned home.
After clearing security and all the checks, they found themselves at the gate, waiting for their flight. Their daughter was now awake, her big eyes curiously looking around at the bustling airport. Namjoon held her, bouncing her lightly in his arms to keep her entertained.
Y/N smiled as she watched them, her heart swelling with love. "I can't believe this trip is already over," she said softly, sitting beside Namjoon.
He nodded, leaning back in his seat. "It went by fast, but we made some incredible memories. We'll have more trips like this in the future."
She rested her head on his shoulder, their daughter now focused on a toy they had brought to keep her occupied. "I'm really thankful for this trip. It was everything I needed."
Namjoon pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head. "You deserved it."
As they waited for their flight, Y/N and Namjoon shared quiet conversation, talking about their favorite moments from the trip and already planning when they could take another family vacation. Their daughter played happily in Namjoon's lap, occasionally babbling and grabbing at his shirt, making both parents laugh softly.
Finally, the announcement came that their flight was boarding. Namjoon and Y/N gathered their things, carefully making sure their daughter was secure in her carrier, and made their way to the plane. As they boarded, they felt a mixture of excitement to get back home and nostalgia for the trip that had brought them even closer as a family.
But as they settled into their seats, Namjoon leaned over to Y/N and whispered, "Here's to many more adventures with our little family."
Y/N smiled, squeezing his hand. "Here's to us."
