"I don't see him anywhere, think he's skipping out on the trip?" Libby asked worriedly. Chanyeol had been avoiding her since the last weekend. Every time she'd spotted him in the hallways he suddenly had somewhere else to be. And with their last two weeks filled with final semester assessments and a whole lot of studying and preparation it hadn't been that hard to avoid her.
"I don't think so, we still have an hour before we have to board the plane." Hyun Ae said texting away with her boyfriend who was goofing off somewhere in the airport with his buddies. Now that the semester was finally over, it was time for the annual one week trip abroad for the seniors and juniors to the Spanish island of Ibiza.
"I need to get him alone so that we can talk, he can't keep avoiding me for the whole week we're on the trip." Libby huffed, adjusting her military style jacket. Her mother had plaited her hair into neat cornrows before she and Olivia had dropped Libby off at the airport. Olivia was somewhere with Suho, spending whatever little time they had together before she left for Germany. It had been funny to watch her friends and classmates' reaction when Libby and her twin walked into the airport earlier. Fatima nearly died at the horror of there being two Libbys, only Kris and Hyun Ae had remained unfazed as they had already met Olivia in the past.
"Well he's been avoiding you for two weeks now, what makes you think he can't do it again?" Taemin asked. He'd returned from his group activities to complete his final assessment and since the group had nothing more scheduled, he decided to tag along on the trip with the rest of his classmates.
Libby scowled at him, "Why don't you crawl back to the hole you came from?" she snapped. Taemin raised his hands in surrender; "Hey, don't snap at me for your mistakes, you shouldn't have led the guy on like that." He defended.
"Taemin, I love but right now I want to punch you in the face." Libby threatened. Taemin wasn't sure if she was being serious or not, but still put some distance between them.
"Here's a plan," Hyun Ae said finally putting her phone away, "Why don't you switch seats with Beakhyun, that way he has no choice but to talk to you. He can't avoid you for all 14 hours 44 minutes of the flight." She suggested.
Libby thought about it, "Guess I have no choice then. Have you seen Baekhyun anywhere?" she asked. There were a lot of GSA juniors and seniors loitering around waiting to board their plane, courtesy of Fatima's family that was involved in airline business.
"Nope," Hyun Ae said, "But I did text him and he agreed to the plan." She told Libby. "Did I tell you how much I love you?" Libby gushed pulling her friend into a tight side hug. Taemin bristled at that; "Hyun Ae gets hugs and I get death threats. The world is a cold and cruel place." He muttered. Just then Kai came over whistling to Mike Posner's I took a pill in Ibiza and gave them a bright greeting. Behind him was Sehun and Libby had to fight to not roll her eyes at how tense Hyun Ae became. She and Sehun needed to get over this, they ruined the atmosphere for everyone else whenever they were around each other.
"You're very chipper for someone who hates waking up early." Taemin said looking at his friend with narrowed eyes. Sehun snorted, "He's been this way all week, always smiling and shit. It's starting to piss me off." he said.
"It's not my fault life is good." Kai beamed, "Besides one of us has to be cheery to balance out that rotten aura you wear around you like a cloak." He said to Sehun who gave Kai the middle finger. His gaze momentarily strayed to Hyun Ae before looking off into the distance, blank mask back in place.
"I hear getting laid has that effect on most guys." Taemin smirked and watched as Kai's face reddened then paled. "That's not why I'm happy, AJ and I haven't...and could you please not say it so loud, you never know where Suga could be listening in." he said looking behind himself as if expecting to see the bad tempered boy pop out of nowhere, ready to beat the shit out of him. Even though Kai had a height advantage, he was scared shitless of Suga. He had no idea if Suga didn't like him personally or if he just generally disliked any males who dared to date AJ.
"So, you and AJ haven't done the horizontal lingo yet?" Taemin asked. Kai shook his head furiously as the other laughed at him.
"Woah!" Libby said, "Is that a hickey I see?" she spotted the red spot on Kai right above the collar bone. That caused the poor boy to be the victim of Taemin and Sehun's ribbing. "You really are cute together," Hyun Ae commented.
"Thanks." Kai replied bashfully. "So, how's your lady love going to be spending the holiday without you? Did you guys at least squeeze in some love-love time before you left?" Taemin asked. Sehun groaned; "Boy, did they ever, he invited her to our game night!" he said offended. "I spent the entire time playing by myself and feeling like a third wheel while they whispered sweet nothings to each other."
"Oh please," Kai rolled his eyes. "If anyone was the third wheel it was me. Sehun hogged my girlfriend all night and wouldn't let her go until he beat her at a game of FIFA." Kai complained and gave Sehun a sour look; "Bruh, you seriously need to get yourself a girl."
"Maybe I will!" Sehun sniffed, his gaze going to Hyun Ae again before drifting off. Hyun Ae bit her lip and forced herself to laugh along with the others.
"To answer your question, AJ's going on a camping trip with Taehyung, Jimin, Jungkook and Bambam." He replied.
"You trust her around all those guys?" Taemin asked.
"They're harmless, besides she mentioned some other chick, she thinks Taehyung has a thing for her."
Soon their conversation drifted off to less personal matters. Libby was only half paying attention and stopped listening completely the moment she saw Chanyeol walk in. They locked gazes before he looked away and went to join another group, and Libby had a feeling it was to spite her because the group consisted of Suzy and Fatima.

She made sure to find her seat before Chanyeol and was already seated and waiting by the time he'd found his assigned seat.
"What are you doing here?" That voice, it was cold enough to freeze hell. Libby didn't like this coolly removed mask he wore like a second skin. She wanted her happy virus back, and soon. Trying to act indifferent she crossed her legs and felt a moment of triumph when his eyes flickered to the bit of skin exposed between the hem of her dress and her thigh high boots. At least he was still attracted to her.
"We need to talk." She said patting the seat next to her, when he remained standing she asked; "Or would you like the window seat." She got up.
"I have nothing to say to you." He told her.
"Then you can just listen because I have a lot to say." She tried smiling but the damned idiot just walked two seats over and asked to switch seats with the girl sat next to Suzy. Libby narrowed her eyes at that.
"Is that how you want to play it Yoda?" she said under her breath. She briefly considered switching back to Hyun Ae but when she saw her and Namjoon getting all cuddly she sat back down next to Suzy's minion. "Hi, I'm Yerin." The girl beamed. "And I don't care." Libby told her digging out her headsets and eye mask. She knew she was being unnecessarily rude but she was too pissed to care. Before she blasted music through her iPod she heard the girl mutter something like; "This is going to be a long flight."
