Airport. [Sunggyu♥]
After a long long time(as always OTL), I have finished another scenario for you guys. It turned out longer than I thought it would, around 1.500 words of me not saying that much :D
Hope you enjoy! (I do not own the picture, who would've thought that?)
„Jagi, come on...“
He pulled you along, your hand in his, your breaths coming out in short pants. His scarf was slowly coming undone, one end dangling off and fluttering behind him as he kept leading the way through the over-crowded airport. Your luggage trailed behind you, the sound of the suitcase's wheels on the tiled floor swallowed by the constant buzz and chatter in the air. Swarms of people streamed past you, some moving in the same direction as you, some in the opposite. You perked up your ears. A lady's voice announced that some flight would be delayed, but it wasn't yours.
You tried to keep up with the fairly quick pace he set. Since when could a grandpa walk this fast?
Maybe since it was practically his fault that you were running late for your flight. You were offered the opportunity to work on a huge project for your company, containing the cooperation with experts on your field from all over the globe. To realize your plans you had to travel overseas for a week to get to know everybody you would be working with. Sunggyu was excited for you and encouraged you to go, even if it meant he couldn't see you during one of his rare weeks off. He even insisted on you staying over the night before your departure, so he could personally bring you to the airport in the morning. The thing was, as you always did when you were with Sunggyu, you slept in late. When you finally woke up with a start, it was already half an hour past the the time you had planned to leave for the airport. And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, you got stuck in traffic for another half an hour due to heavy snow. Now you had around 15 minutes left to check in and find your gate.
Your train of thoughts was interrupted as your shoes slipped on the polished floor, causing you to almost trip over your own feet.
“Gyu, slow down” you huffed out as you clutched his hand tighter to regain your balance.
He hadn't noticed you almost face-planting the airport floor, so he looked at you, puzzled. “I'm not the one who'll miss his flight.” His voice sounded skeptical.
You rolled your eyes at him. “No, but I won't be much of a help if I break my neck before I even leave the country, don't you think?”
He sighed “fine”. With him by your side, you walked past another chattering group of tourists and finally, your check-in desk came into view. You rushed towards the bored man at the computer and handed him your ticket and passport, Sunggyu politely waiting a step behind. After everything was sorted out, you grabbed his hand again and tugged him along gently. He laced his fingers with yours, lips forming a pout as he followed you. You could feel his gaze resting on you as he started to speak.
“You know, it's weird that I'm the one bringing you to the airport, normally it's the other way around.”
You glanced at him from the corner of your eye, keeping your pace swift but comfortable.
“So how does it feel to be in my shoes?”
He sulked. “I've felt better.” You threw him a sympathetic look, squeezing his hand tightly.
Another turn of a corner later you reached the waiting area. Its facade consisted mostly of large expanses of glass. It must have cleared up while you were rushing through the airport, since the large room was bathed in blazing sunlight . Sunggyu made a sound of discomfort at the sudden brightness, making you giggle and pull him along to one of the seat rows. Pulling off his scarf slowly, he sat down next to you as you hummed contently to yourself. Having reached your destination, all worries and stress seemed to have fallen from your shoulders, in contrast to him, the typical worry wart. He checked his watch, then turned to look at you again.
“Do you have everything you need? Passport, ticket, your cell, the herb drink against nausea?” he asked.
You nodded your head like a good kid. “Yes. Yes. Also Yes. And there's no way in hell I would take that.”
He frowned at you. “I just don't want you to fall sick when I can't come over and take care of you.”
You rested a hand on his cheek, smiling. “I know. And this is very sweet of you. But I'll be fine.”
He sighed in defeat. Suddenly he looked as if he remembered something. He gazed at you, catching his lower lip between his teeth.
“Jagi...?” his voice was hesitant.
“Hmm?” You looked up at his face. He seemed uncertain.
“Do...do you have your necklace?”
Oh, that was it. You couldn't help but smile at his cuteness. You pulled the hand that was still resting on his cheek away to tug off your scarf, revealing the piece of jewelry underneath. It was a simple silver necklace with an infinity symbol as a charm. It was a rather obvious thing to get as a gift since he was after all a member of a group called INFINITE, but still, you knew he wrecked his brain to think of it. Besides, it was really cheesy, and you liked cheesy, especially if it was coming from Sunggyu.
He exhaled in relief. “Good.”
The two of you remained in silence as you sat, waiting for an announcement. Not a minute later, a woman's voice gave notice that all passengers for your flight were now to enter the plane.
Both of you stood, you gathering your things. He watched as you put on his scarf instead of yours without a word. If it was by accident or on purpose, he couldn't tell. He decided not to ask. Your content smile was enough of an answer for him.
“I have to get going.” you said finally. Sunggyu nodded. With a sigh, you wrapped your arms around his torso and buried your face in his jacket. Without another word, his arms encircled your waist, wrapping you up in his warmth. He rested his chin on top of your head, his breath fanned across your hair as he brought a hand up to run through the strands.
“I'll miss you” you mumbled, muffled by the material of his jacket, and tightened the hug.
You knew he was smiling at your words when he squeezed you back, breathing out a soft “I'll miss you, too”.
You pulled away from the embrace, locking your eyes with his for a few seconds. Then you smiled the way he knew you would only smile for him. It always made his heart skip a beat when you looked at him like this.
But the woman's voice interrupted your moment, reminding you that you had only a few minutes left to get on the plane.
You exchanged one last small smile, then started making your way to the flight attendant checking the tickets. Sunggyu kept his gaze on you for as long as he could. You turned around for a brief moment and waved at him. He waved back. Then you turned a corner, and you were gone. His heart clenched. He didn't like seeing you leave like this. He wondered if you thought the same every time he had to go. Also, he felt as if he had missed something really important. Shrugging it off, he turned to head home when he heard your voice, calling out his name.
“Yah, Sunggyu-ah!”
His head whipped around just to see you running towards him, already huffing and puffing a bit, your coat fluttering around you. He felt his brow furrow. Was something wrong? You didn't have your bag with you anymore. He opened his mouth to ask you when you slithered to an halt in front of him. Before he could say a word, you had already grasped his face in both your hands and pressed a deep, yet gentle kiss to his lips. You pulled away a few inches only to come back closer. When you parted, he was flustered beyond repair, trying to get out a coherent sentence – and failing miserably.
“I can't believe I almost forgot this” you grinned, pulled away and straightened his jacket. “I'll see you Gyu” you breathed, and with that, turned on your heel and hurried back to where you came from, not without waving at him one last time.
Sunggyu stood there, feet frozen to the ground, his lips slightly parted.
“Aish, that girl” he muttered to no one in particular as he regained his full consciousness a few seconds later. Still, he couldn't stop a huge grin from forming on his face as he turned to really leave the airport this time.
When he was nearing the exit, he suddenly stopped in his track.
Did you just totally make him the girl in a scene from a chick-flick?
