Suho woke up early and drove to the resort, he parked his car nearby and opened the back door taking out his bag. Grabbing the handle and dragging the bag down the street pulled by the wheels, he walks to the door of the resort where he finds Kai wearing sweatpants and a black hoodie looking sleepy and still yawning.

They greeted each other and as soon as they noticed the taxi they had called to take them to the airport, showed up. The driver got out of the car and helped them to put their bags in the trunk; first he put Kai's and as soon as he gave his bag he got into the car and Suho helped the man with his and then he got into the car sitting next to Kai. Kai told the driver his fate and the driver nodded with his head and drove away. The airport was still far away, the silence was installed inside that taxi only with the music playing on the radio at an almost inaudible volume. Suho leaned his head back closing his eyes. He was tired.

"Are you ready to see your girl again?" Kai asked as he confirmed that he had all the necessary documents. Suho opened his eyes and nodded.

"Sure am, you? Hoping Liz hasn't been arrested for assault in the meantime?" Suho jokes. 

"She did it to stand up for Emma. You got to thank her for that." Kai says looking at his friend. 

"I know." Suho shakes his head. "I'm just messing with you. Emma never mentioned her ex-boyfriend again either. I hope he never bothered them again." 

"I hope so too. For his own good now 'cause he won't have to deal with just Liz but also the new boyfriend because he's going to be in town." Kai replies.

And the rest of the trip they did in silence. As soon as they arrived at the airport, the boys thanked the taxi driver who once again got out of the car to help them with their bags. They paid for the trip and walked into the airport. With tickets and passports in hand, the boys climbed the escalators until they saw a line of people taking their shoes off and taking their belts off ready to pass through security. They stood behind a couple and waited their turn. The security guard looked at the boys and told them to move on. They put their bags on the conveyor belt, along with their cell phones, watches and coats and waited for the security guard on the other side to send them through.

The two of them passed without any problems and waited for their bags and other belongings. As soon as they saw it, they took it off the conveyor belt and followed the rest of the people to a room. Eventually they saw several chairs, boards with the flights that were about to leave and the next ones, several shops and restaurants already open. Not hungry, the boys sat on a chair with their bags in front of them and waited for the gate of the plane to appear on the board.

The boys' flight had already landed, according to what it said on the panel that was in Terminal 1 of the arrivals. There were more people around waiting for their relatives or people coming from erasmus, several people were holding papers with someone's name written on them. The girls saw people from other flights already leaving and greeting those waiting there and Emma started to walk around, making Anneliese nervous and Rhea just laughed.

"Can you please stop for a second? You're going to make me nervous." Anneliese says putting her hand on Emma's shoulder. Emma stops and turns around to face her. 

"I'm sorry. I'm just excited." Emma says in a sigh. Anneliese shakes her head. 

"I know. But it won't make them come faster, you know?"

Emma was about to respond when they started seeing more people coming out. A girl hugged the elderly couple who were next to the girls. The young woman hugged the elderly couple and began to leave, hearing the old man ask how Thailand had been. Anneliese and Emma look at each other and quickly look back and see more people leaving until they notice a tall boy all dressed in black with a pair of sunglasses accompanied by a boy with his coat cap on his head. The boys look around watching a lot of people waiting for someone until they notice the tall blonde girl accompanied by a brunette of the same height. Anneliese. Suho starts walking towards the blonde and eventually sees Emma hiding behind Anneliese. She was shorter and had been completely covered by her friend. 

Kai walked in front of his friend, dropped his bag and wrapped Anneliese in a tight hug followed by a soft kiss on the lips. Suho did the same thing and opened his arms, Emma wrapped her arms around his neck and with a small impulse wrapped her legs around the boy's waist. He holds her with his arms around her torso. She gives him little kisses all over his face until she puts her head on the curve of his neck and Suho puts her down on the ground. 

"I missed you." Suho whispers in Emma's ear. She hugs him tight. 

Anneliese walked away from Kai. Looks at Kai and Suho.

"This is Rhea, she's our friend and we also share a house."  She points to Rhea who waves with a smile. "Rhea, this is Kai, the resort's receptionist and also the one who had something against my pamphlets. And that's Suho, our tiny human's new boyfriend." The boys laughed at the comments in the middle of the introduction.

"I'm also her boyfriend and I had nothing against her pamphlets." Kai says greeting Rhea with a kiss on the cheek. Anneliese crosses her arms.

"You made me give it to you and you threw it away. You definitely had." Anneliese replies. Kai pulls her around the waist and placesa kiss on her forehead.

"Because me and my dear friend Suho were better guides than the pamphlet." He says looking at Suho who nods.

"Hum. Debatable." She shrugs. 

Suho ended up greeting Rhea too with a kiss on the cheek. The boys grab their bags and the five of them leave the airport walking to Rhea's car. The plan was to spend the night together to enjoy and show the boys a bit of the Danish capital, but they went with them first to the hotel to leave their bags.

On the way to the restaurant that Rhea had suggested because she seemed to know all the best restaurants in town, Kai, Anneliese and Rhea walked in front of Suho and Emma while they talked about various things; From funny things on the girls' holidays, things the boys did after they left, the punch that Anneliese gave Mason that Kai, although laughing and loving to see how strong and independent Anneliese was, made her promise that she wouldn't hurt herself. Suho, as they brought this topic to the conversation, stopped halfway and grabbed Emma by the wrist, pulling her back. She arched her eyebrow, confused.

"How's the 'Mason' situation? Did he bother you again?" He asks as he sees the other three walking away without realizing they stayed behind and looks at Emma.

"Huh, no. He didn't. Everything is fine." Emma replies biting her lip. 

"I know I haven't been around for that long but you're a really bad liar." He says taking his hand to Emma's face and caressing it with his thumb.

"I just don't want you to worry about it." Emma sighs. Suho shakes his head. 

"I love you, it's hard not to worry about it when your ex-boyfriend is trying to get you back." He replies. Emma pulls the boy's arm over her shoulders and starts walking behind their friends again.

"But he won't." She assures. "And I didn't wait months to see you again to worry about Mason." 

"If he tries anything, I'm here now." 

"Yeah, but you'll be busy." Emma says, Suho frown.

"Will I?"

"I thought you needed a tourist guide." She shrugs and looks at him. He shakes his head and bites his lip.

"I definitely do. But I'm going to need more than a tourist guide." Suho answers. She pinches him and chuckles.
