Summary:

Jeongguk just wanted to secretly take a picture of the incredibly handsome man sitting opposite him in the departures lounge. Too bad that he forgot that his camera flash is on.

How many pieces of luggage do you want to check in, sir?

The middle-aged woman with a terribly tight updo hairstyle cocks an eyebrow at him, her already wrinkled face crinkling even more as she tries to put on a somewhat polite smile on her lips.

Only one.

Alright, please put it on here.

After weighing the luggage, Jeongguk watches as the woman attaches a white-green tag on it with his destination Seoul before it slowly disappears on the conveyor belt. She collects and tidies the papers on the counter in front of her, picking up all of Jeongguks stuff and handing it him with an exhausted sigh. Seems to be a long day for her already.

Heres your boarding pass, sir. Have a safe flight.

Thank you. Bowing shortly, Jeongguk quickly grabs his identification and boarding pass, making his way to the security check.

Even if he hates being touched all over, he knows its necessary. Theres also the fear clawing on him that the alarm will go off on him for whatever reason. He knows that many harmless things can trigger the alarm, but hed still feel like hed done something wrong if it were to happen. Thats why he sighs in relief as everything goes without any problems, the security releasing him with an okay.

Arriving at his gate and being checked again, Jeongguk finally makes him comfortable on one of the free seats at the departures lounge, since the airplane is planned to arrive in half an hour.

Its his first time flying alone, his experience with airports and airplanes only consisting of the one time he flew with his previous class to Japan.

Contrary to his friend's prediction that hell be even asking the way to the toilets like a lost bunny, hes quite proud to have managed to make it to his gate without getting lost or somehow accidentally ending up waiting for an airplane to New York, even if thats might not possible.

His phone buzzes in his bag, right when hes about to take it out. Its a message from his best friend whos instructed him what he has to do when he arrives at the airport. Jeongguk grins as he reads the message.

From Taetae, 11:34 am

has my little lost bunny friend found his way?

With a triumphant smile tugging at his lips, he quickly types an answer.

To Taetae, 11:34 am

im at the departures lounge

He waits patiently for the reply, eyes glued on his screen, not noticing that someone sits down on the seat opposite him.

From Taetae, 11:35 am

im surprised you didnt miss the plane, Mr. Big Rabbit

Jeongguk's smile turns to something akin a pout.

To Taetae, 11:35 am

i would have if my mom hadnt finally let me go after 30min of hugging

i was scared shed want me to drop college lmao

Something pokes his side in an unpleasant way, making him avert his gaze from his phone and turn head to his right. A little boy is fidgeting nervously in the seat next to Jeongguk, tugging at his presumably mothers sleeve every three seconds until she snaps her head in his direction with an annoyed expression. The boy grins cheekily. Can I sit on the seat at the window?
