Until Spring Comes Again

One Night in a Strange City

The trip to the airport was nerve wracking. You felt like there was some evil force following you. Everywhere you looked there were shadows and things lurking within them. You didn't say anything until you got to the airport. Things were too hectic to concentrate on anything besides getting to your flight on time. The three of you were running late and it didn't help that despite it being one in the morning the airport was packed. You figured there must have been a celebrity coming to town tonight.

Once past security, the three of you ran towards your flight gate. You had ten minutes to run halfway across the airport. While you were running, you almost tripped on your own feet. You weren't sure how but you stopped yourself from falling face first and continued running. You barely made it to the gate in time as they were just finishing boarding the passengers.

Panting, you calmed yourself down as you walked on the plane and took your seat in between Jasmine and Paris. "It's a good thing we made it, I would have died if we missed our flight." you said once you caught your breath.

Paris nodded "Same. There's no way I'm missing that Monsta X fan meet in two days." She said.

"Same," Jasmine spoke "I think we should get some sleep. It's been a long day." She put in her earbuds and got settled in her seat. Paris did the same so you figured you might as well sleep with the rest of the flight.

Unlike everyone else, you had trouble falling asleep. You couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching you. Plus, you were hearing things. Though once you fell asleep, it would be awhile before anyone could wake you up.

It was a cool night out. You were laying on your back gazing at the stars. To your right was Namjoon. He too was on his back but he was looking at you instead of the stars. No words were exchanged as you enjoyed each other's company. Suddenly, you saw a shooting star and immediately pointed it out. "Make a wish" Namjoon whispered to you. You smiled and stared up at the sky as you wished for eternity to spend with him. 

Once you had made your wish, you felt him wrap his arms around your waist and pull you close. "What did you wish for?" He asked softly.

You laughed, a melodious sound in the dead of night. "I can't tell you. If I tell you it won't come true" you said, smiling as you shook your head. 

Namjoon sighed in defeat and looked up at the sky, "What do you you think is out there?" He questioned.

You shrugged, "I don't know," you replied honestly "I think there's more life out there. Maybe some kind of alternate universe"

He hummed in response and kissed the top of your head. No other words were spoken while the two of you laid in each other's arms. Eventually, you fell asleep with your head on Namjoon's chest. You were sleeping so peacefully that he didn't want to disturb you. A blanket appeared on top of the two of you and you snuggled closer to Namjoon. He chuckled softly and closed his eyes, falling asleep to the soft sounds of your breaths and the crickets chirping in the distance.

When you woke up the first thing you noticed Namjoon wasn't there. A wave of panic went through you until you realized where you were and that Namjoon was never there to begin with. You looked to your left to see Jasmine staring at you with concern in her eyes.  "Why are you crying?" She asked.

Confused, you reached up and touched your cheek. Sure enough, there were tears there. You shrugged "I'm not sure," you told her "I didn't have a bad dream or anything." The topic was dismissed and soon you three were animatedly discussing your plans for your stay in Korea.

Half an hour later you arrived in South Korea. It took awhile to get out of the airport but one thing you noticed was that you felt better. You didn't feel as empty as you have been. It took awhile for you and your friends to find your hotel but you eventually got yourself situated. You all decided to stay in for the day and mentally prepare for the fan meeting.
