As an idol, flying to places is a part of the job and truth to be told, he's getting a bit tired of it.
That was until he had something fly towards him because he was 'cute'.

It took hours for Junmyeon to explain to Jongdae and Sehun about his situation with ghost girl the next day after the incident but somehow, he didn't feel uncomfortable in letting out his secret. He would find himself smiling as he told of the times he spent with her, including—and especially, the ones where he had felt oh so reluctant to help her on her on her quest to help fellow ghosts. He even giggled to himself at the thought of him giving fries to Kkamjong!
"It's crazy enough he's seeing only one ghost. Like... that's so weird," Jongdae sighed as he gently sat on Sehun's suitcase while waiting for the other members to get out of the van. "And he's having feelings for her," Sehun continued his hyung's statement before tugging his suitcase a bit making Jongdae almost fall.
"You're really not done trying to grab my attention or what?" Jongdae scoffed as he rolled his eyes. Sehun shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to walk towards the airport entrance without replying.
"A ghost loving leader and that!" Jongdae emphasised on the word that and held both his hands out towards Sehun, leaving plenty of opportunities for fans to take a rather 'meme-able' pose of his.
"What is wrong with him now?" Yifan asked Junmyeon as the two walked pass Jongdae, making Jongdae sigh before he made his way along with everyone else.
Like clockwork, ghost girl would swoop down and walk next to Junmyeon, greeting him with her usual warm, hearty laughter. And this time, Junmyeon could help but smile. He's gone past the point where he'll put his image and ego in front. If they got pictures of him suddenly smiling, whatever. It's not like it's extremely out of the ordinary to suddenly smile at the most random of times.
"Stop smiling! They'll see it like it's something out of the blue," ghost girl exclaimed, making the smile on Junmyeon's face grow bigger before he pulled out his phone and made it seem like he had gotten a new notification.
"Myeon's gotten weird..." she whispered to herself but it wasn't as soft as she intended it to be as he heard her statement and replied with a very amused tone, "Oh really now?"
"I'll just find some other ghost to talk with and see you later," ghost girl blurted out, not knowing in what direction she wanted to steer their conversation. She felt anxious but she didn't know why. With fragments of her memories coming back to her, the feeling she was feeling was close to the ones where she has her heart beating fast and her stomach churn.
Is this like the feeling of getting butterflies inside? she thought to herself before rushing off, away from Junmyeon. The lad only smiled as his eyes followed her swift flight across the airport.
Sensing someone was looking at him (the gaze was different from the intensity of the eyes of fans), Junmyeon turned around and was greeted with a smirking Jongdae.

Honestly, Junmyeon couldn't get, understand Jongdae lately. It's like his friend has a broken switch in him that would flicker between on and off like it was a glitch. Junmyeon didn't want to fill his mind thinking that deeply about Jongdae and stuck out his tongue towards Jongdae, his response made Jongdae laugh.
Junmyeon turned to Yifan, "Dae's really has broken a switch," making Yifan turn to look at the wide-smiling Jongdae.
"Let's just get to the lounge quickly," Yifan ran a hand through his hair as he fastened his pace, walking through the large fan crowding over them.

Junmyeon washed his hands thoroughly and ghost girl sat next to the sink, watching Junmyeon was his hands. "You're quiet," Junmyeon spoke as he turned the tap off, "Anything bothering you recently?"
Going to grab the tissues, ghost girl got up and walked alongside him, still silent. Once Junmyeon dried his hands and threw the tissues to the bin, he turned to look at her. She was just staring at the floor, unaware of him waiting for her to answer his question.
He looking around and there wasn't anyone else, other than Jongdae who came in before and now in one of the stalls. Waving a hand in front of her, she snapped out of her train of thoughts and moved her gaze to meet his.
"There's like a ghost that wants help but I didn't give her an answer because I'm not sure how you'll react..." ghost girl spoke slowly before she slapped her forehead with her right hand. "I wasn't sure if you're going to be fine to help, I've made you go through enough trouble already," she slowly floated, signing that she was thinking too deeply on the matter.
"I've already gotten this far, why not just continue doing so?" Junmyeon answered with a smile, making ghost girl stare at him, blinking her eyes in surprise. "What do I need to do this time?" he asked, leaning his side against the wall as he crossed his arms, looking at her warmly.
A smile perked up on ghost girl before she delightfully explained.

"Is that him?" pointing to a man who seemed to be deeply lost in his thoughts, Junmyeon asked once again to make sure that he wouldn't embarrass himself later on. Ghost girl nodded as she heard the ghost next to her spoke, "That's him alright. He still looks the same despite the sadness that glooms over his face."
"I'll see if I could help," Junmyeon spoke before making his way towards the man. Ghost girl couldn't help but smile making the ghost next to her nudged her, "You like him huh?"
Avoiding the question, ghost girl flew away leaving the ghost chuckling at her cuteness of being shy and the adorable obvious blush she had. The ghost decided to not stay and hear the contents of what Junmyeon and her still living lover had to talk about. She flew after ghost girl.
"Is it fine to join you in your thoughts?" Junmyeon softly asked, and the man slowly pushed himself out of his thought bubble and responded with a smile. Taking it as a yes, Junmyeon sat opposite of him.
"This might sound random but I was thinking that talking to a stranger on this matter would be better than to talk it to my friends," Junmyeon spoke, pushing himself back into the chair, relaxing his muscles as he turns his gaze to the wide window overlooking the runaway and dozens of airplanes.
"I'm sorry if this is so sudden, I hope you don't mind," he continued and the man turned to look at him. The man warmly replied, "I'm not the kind to judge, we all need different outlets to express ourselves, so go ahead. It might sway me away from my own thoughts."
"Lately, I've been feeling as if the pieces of my heart are slowly being pieced together but at the same time, it feels like it's missing something," the man nodded at Junmyeon's words before he poured his heart out, as if telling a pure stranger (Junmyeon is indeed a famous idol but he's still a stranger if it's seen from a different context) his deepest thoughts would be something totally fine.
"That's what I felt, in a way. I guess. I'm not much of an expressive person but that's what I felt," the man paused as he turned to look at the ring he had worn, "When my love died, I tried to relive all the memories and feelings while we were together. It made my broken self fixed, but it's still felt imperfect."
"It feels that at times whenever I come here, I could see glimpses of her, as if her ghost is watching over me. I loved it but missing her touch, to have her hold me, the warmness of her touch, the absence of that made me..."
"It made you yearn for it..." Junmyeon continued the man's speech, he smiled to himself as he spoke.
