Clothes....toiletries.....money.....laptop....books...binders.....check check check.

With only five minutes until Sumin pulls up, I frantically run around making sure I have everything for the trip. I count all my chargers, and stuff my pencil case with about ten times more pencils than it usually has. I also make sure that my delicate ramen packets are in a position where they won't get squished in my suitcase, since I do hate eating soup with crumbled ramen noodles.

Ding!

My phone notifies me that it's time to go down. I take my suitcase and carry-on knapsack, and make my way out. As I walk through the hall, I fix my eyes on NCTs dorm. Doyoung...... what a sweet boyfriend. We never had much chance after two days ago to talk, but he always sends me daily messages wishing I have a good morning/afternoon/breakfast/lunch/dinner/evening/night/..... you name it. Annoying, but super, super cute. It makes me feel bad though, I'm never the one to text first and my replies are just emoticons. I never thought I'd be a play-hard-to-get-girlfriend, but I really can't do anything about that..I'm just too busy. I hope I'll spend more time with Doyoung in China...

I hurriedly rush down and see Sumin's car already waiting for me to put my luggage in.

"You could've texted me saying you were here! I would've been here earlier then.."

"I knew I wouldn't have had to. You're so punctual, dude! Always on time anyway.

Okay, get your stuff in. Sit in the back seat so you can have space to sleep."

I load my things in the trunk, and get in the backseat of her car. I sit straight up at first, but after 10 minutes of slow driving, I lay my head to occupy the entire back row.

"Sorry...this is really un-mannerful of me..."

"Nahhh don't worry! I don't mind as long as your feet are still on the floor. Plus..it's 5:30am...I can see how tired you must be."

"Yeah...I feel even more sorry for NCT. I wonder when they left.."

"Pretty early, to be honest. They had to go with their stylists to try out their outfits and makeup. They'll still be on the same plane as all of us though."

"Really!???!? That's nice."

"Yeah...why are you so excited? Has my dongsaeng finally started to fall in love?"

"Ahhh what??!? No no no I don't know I can't hear you goodnight!"

"Kssss.. Okay, good night. Sleep well."

-----------

My body is shaken left and right.

"Bro are you dead?? Why can't you wake up when I tell you to???!?!?! How can someone fall into such a deep sleep in 20 minutes????!?!?"

"Oh, oh gosh sorry!! Sorry sorry sorry!!"

"Ahaha, it's fine I was only kidding...mostly.. Get your stuff okay while I get a cart to put them in."

I take out all the luggage from the trunk and close the car doors, and Sumin comes back after a few seconds with a cart. We both pile them on, balancing each one so that they won't fall off when we start to move. We head to the luggage station to give our suitcases, and we go to sit down as we wait for the others to arrive.

"Want coffee?"

"Ah...sure!! Thanks unnie!"

Sumin leaves, which allows me time to craft a nice message for Doyoung:

-Doyoung, hope you are feeling okay...see you soon! :)

- Oh, my girlfriend is taking good care of me!! I will be strong for you!!

- Are you tired?

- A little, but I can survive!!1

- ok then ttyl

- noooooooooooo stayyyyy with meeeeeeeeeeee

- . ..only for a little bit

- Lets try to sit together on the plane!

- uhhhh that will be hard...and plus, no one should know yet!!

- we won't be obvious! Just sit with me! Say you're going to teach me English!!

-ok.. Ok byebyebe

-huh!? Ok bye.. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3#<#<#<#<3<3

"Coffee time!!"

"Wahhh thanks!! How much longer do we need to wait?"

"About half an hour more? The airplane is scheduled to leave before next hour, so they'll start to call us in maybe 30 minutes."

"..Hmm okay. Do we need to meet everyone first?"

"Ahaha of course not. If passengers see idols everyone will go nuts, believe me. The others will come in through another door."

"Yeah...that makes sense. Okay, so uh, where are we sitting?"

"Well since this is a private airplane, we can technically choose where to sit as long as the seat isn't already occupied. Where do you want tos it?"

"Well...Doyoung and I wanted to study e-en-english....so um,,"

"You want to sit next to Doyoung? Hmmmm....Haechan and Johnny are sitting on both ends...but you can sit next to Miwon! He sits really close to them.."

"Ahh okay, that's fine." Ah, Doyoung will be sad.

"Besides, you too will be sharing a hotel room."

"WHA-?!?!?!"

"Don't worry, you two will have different beds. It's just how SM likes it....You should sleep some more now, airplane turbulence is bad.."

--------

Sumin and I start making our way through the tunnel that connects to the airplane seats. We seem to be the last one, since the airplane is full with staff and idols. Sumin tells me to keep walking straight until I see Miwon. I catch a glimpse of him waving for my attention, so I go over to sit in my spot. Almost immediately after, a text message:

-NOOOOO

-its ok...

-NOOOOO SIT WITH MEE.

-how??

-ILL TELL HAECHAN TO MOVE

-ah...wait

"Hey Miwon, you know, Haechan loves Toku."

"Man really!?!? Damn I would love to verse him then..too bad.

"Actually, not 'too bad'.

Haechan-ah, want to play Toku multiplayer?"

"Yeah sure!"

"Okay then, switch spots with me and you can!"

Haechan and I switch spots, which now seats me next to Doyoung. He firmly takes my hard and curls his fingers between mine.

"Hehe."

"....well then.."

"Minlee, I hope this flight is a good experience for you. Hehe."

"I hope it will be too...Don't do anything weird, please." I say as I also curl my fingers into his.
