MiYeon plopped her exhausted body on the king sized bed without a care at all. Planting her face on the cold and squishy pillow, she could not pull herself off the bed to take a five minute shower. 

She was tired from walking from one end to another and sitting on one spot for thirteen hours although it was a business class seat. 

MiYeon could not even lift a single muscle even if she was desperate to use the bathroom. She had glanced at the beautiful interior of their hotel room before finding the one and only comfortable place, the bed. 

Jin thanked the staff with his broken English and a smile, closing the door and inserting the card to the power. He observed their big and small luggages sitting in the middle of the room. He made his way to the bed and noticed the almost dead human. 

She barely made a single move once Jin crawled his way beside MiYeon. 

"Hmph baby, you smell." He joked and drowned himself onto the cold blankets. His eyes never left the exhausted figure he called his wife, soothing her black hair that was strewn all over. 

"Well look who's talking." MiYeon shouted from the muffled pillows. Her head felt heavy with fatigue and headaches at the same time. 

Jin chuckled at her response and pulled her body close so that she way resting on his clavicle. MiYeon groaned inwardly as she forced herself to move. 

She had spent most of her thirteen hours watching movie marathons that she got a scold from Jin to sleep during the flight. MiYeon didn't listen and continued to watch seven different movies from different languages in one go. She barely used the toilet to do her business as her mind was only absorbed in watching. 

MiYeon regretted in not taking Jin's advice since her eyes burned from watching in the dark. She could've turned on the light above the ceiling, but felt unbothered to do so. There was the sun's light during their afternoon flight and MiYeon relied on that. She had forgotten about the night during their flight. 

"I want ..." She trailed off into silence, startling the latter. 

"You want to what?" Jin asked, fixing the position of the pillow without causing too much of a movement against MiYeon. 

" ... to pee pee." 



"What shall we do for today?" MiYeon suggested as she sipped on the orange juice. 

After washing themselves up for their morning breakfast, Jin had been thinking about several restaurants that he wanted to visit in New York. On the other hand, MiYeon would like to sightsee around the city and not stray too far from their hotel. 

She was capable of speaking English to the citizens here, but she did not want to get lost or even worse - to get separated from Jin. 

That was her only nightmare whenever she plans to travel with someone. 

She knew and trusted Jin into getting back to the hotel if they ended up lost. Even with his broken English, Jin had more confidence to walk back alone if they separated. 

However, on MiYeon's side, she didn't like crowded areas that much. She would mostly avoid cramped places as much as possible without knowing that her actual destination was just in between those sea of people. 

Jin scrambled the eggs into little pieces before scooping a mouthful into his mouth. He chewed it with ease, savoring the salty taste of the egg mixed with the white milk. MiYeon observed her husband eating very well that she fished out her camera, snapping a short video of Jin eating.
