WGM Again?! (Taeun Fan-Fic)

Chapter 37: Don't you feel ordinary now?

Naeun's P.O.V

"You're so lucky, unnie!" Hayoung-ah sighed as I was packing my suitcase. "You get to go on vacation soon. And to Spain to boot!"

I laughed at her complaint, "You're on break as well right now. You can also go traveling, Hayoung-ah."
"But it's not the same as when someone's coming with you!" she complained about her lack of boyfriend.
Chorong-unni, who was folding my clothes neatly, laughed as well.

"You can also travel with friends," unnie suggested. "That's no less fun."
"Then should we travel with all our members?" Hayoung-ah asked.
"Let's do that some other time," Chorong-unni agreed.
"Why not now?" Hayoung-ah complained as unnie and I inspected my shoe collection wondering which ones I should bring.

"Because Naeun-ah is already going with Taemin-sunbaenim. That's why," unnie answered and Hayoung-ah sighed again.

"You'll also fall in love, Hayoung-ah," I comforted her.
"Before me Chorong-unni should find a boyfriend first," she remarked.

"Don't worry about me. Someday I'll meet someone. Maybe I've already met him. Maybe it's just not time to get together yet," Chorong-unni answered simply.
Hayoung-ah and I looked answered each other impressed at unnie's wise love talk, "You sound so sweet when you talk about love, unnie."
"You sound the same when you talk about Taemin-sunbaenim," she answered.

I blushed at that while Hayoung-ah tried to hide her giggle.

Oppa held the door open for me and offered his hand to help me get off the car. I hesitantly took his hand not sure whether I should hold his hand in public.

"Thanks for driving us, Kibum-hyung," oppa said ready to bid Key-sunbae goodbye.
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Key-sunbae asked. "I'll bring you to to the security check!"
"Alright, thanks, hyung," oppa laughed while we walked to the entrance as he kept holding my hand.

Just the moment we entered the airport I heard some screams and also the shutter of cameras around us.
Oppa pulled me close so I would walk beside him. Key-sunbae walked on my other side so I wasn't too visible and exposed.

We rushed through the airport as fast as we could ignoring all pleas, cries and requests of fans, which I fortunately didn't hear as we ran to our destination, and made it to the security check in record time.

"Thanks for accompanying us, hyung," oppa thanked Key-sunbae and hugged him shortly.
"Take care. Don't get lost. Try not to lose anything," Key-sunbae reminded oppa. He laughed in response and simply nodded.

He also hugged me shortly.
"Take care of our kid," he reminded me and I laughed.
"Have fun, you two!" he shouted and waved us goodbye.

I saw how two fans practically jumped on Key-sunbae to get an autograph as he turned around to leave.
He smiled and signed patiently but ran off right after so he wouldn't have to encounter more requests.

I also felt some people staring at us more intently as we finally stood still and gave them a chance to make out who we were.
Despite the sunglasses nobody failed to notice us.

"Come on, Naeun-ah," oppa said and pulled me along.
We made it through the security check without difficulties and soon sat at our gate to wait.

"Don't we look even more suspicious with the sunglasses?" I asked oppa.
"Sure we do," he answered. "But it's not like they wouldn't recognize us without the sunglasses."
"True that," I sighed.
"We're not wearing them so not to be recognized, we're wearing them to look less approachable," he explained.
I nodded in understanding.

"I love my fans," he added.
"I know," I smiled at him although I wasn't sure he could see with the huge sunglasses.
"But sometimes I don't wish to interact with them. Like right now," I nodded again.

I kind of felt the same. Right now I didn't wish to be bothered either. Especially as he put and arm around me to stroke my hair softly.
I couldn't help but smile and lean into the touch.

As we got in line to get on board I felt the stares directed at us and even the woman who checked our tickets didn't bother to hide the astonishment upon seeing us at the counter.

We offered her our boarding tickets one by one and she checked them dazed and let us pass.
We sat down in our seats and oppa lent me his shoulder again.
"Don't you feel ordinary now?" he asked with a slight hint of delight in his voice.

I looked around and saw that nobody was paying attention to us as everybody was too tired and trying to make themselves comfortable for the long flight.
I nodded with a small smile on my face but kept my head on his shoulder.
This was nice once in a while. It was even nice twice or thrice in a while.
We truly felt like ordinary people now.

That was until suddenly a girl approached us and asked oppa for a photo with him sending me menacing glares which caused me to lift my head from his shoulder and the smile to disappear from my lips.

Oppa offered his signature instead as he din't want to bother the other passengers but the girl wouldn't budge. He sighed inaudibly promised to do it later instead. But she still insisted to do it now slowly earning a few disapproving looks from the other passengers.
He sighed and stood up ready to give in only so that she would leave when suddenly a female flight attendant appeared and asked the girl to please sit down on her seat and put on her safety belt.

The girl protested but the flight attendant was adamant about the passenger's safety and asked the girl to cause no further delay in taking off.

In the end she huffed upset and grumpily stomped over to her own seat sending not only the flight attendant but also me one last glare.

Meanwhile the flight attendant offered us an apologetic smile and closed the shelf above us.
I mouthed a small 'thank you' and smiled at her. She returned the smile and offered a polite, "I'm sorry for the disrtubance. Enjoy your flight."

My eyes fell on the obtrusive fan and saw that she still kept sending me furious glares although I'm pretty sure I had done nothing to upset her. Well, just my presence was probably enough for her to despise me for.

"Are you okay?" oppa asked and I nodded softly.
"Try to sleep a little. I'll wake you up when breakfast is served."
I nodded and settled on his shoulder again.
