“May I listen?” Daehyun asked me suddenly as I looked down at his angelic expression before laughing and giving him the other earphone. He plugged it in his ear securely before resuming putting his hands on his stomach.

We were now in the waiting area, patiently awaiting our flight to go to Boracay. Currently, Zelo and Jongup were both munching on chips as they watched something on Jongup’s iPad, laughing probably because it’s hilarious. Yongguk was writing something in his “Lyric Notebook” as he called it. Youngjae was reading an inspirational book written by Kris (Yes, the book is called “Maybe Next Time”). Himchan was on his phone, Minhwa was dozing off on Jaehwa’s lap, curled up in a ball as Jaehwa read Harry Potter while Minhwa’s head soothingly.

Jaehyun was arguing with Sarang because she had wanted to model her clothes in the airport, when it clearly wasn’t allowed.

Me and Daehyun? I was peacefully listening to some old K-Pop songs with Daehyun laying on my lap, occasionally staring at me or reading his book.

“Jagi, you’re listening to B.A.P’s album? I thought it was forgotten already,” Daehyun said surprisingly as I grinned, patting his fluffy hair.

“Of course Dae, for me, this was the best rookie song in 2012, next to MAMA though,” I joked as Daehyun’s expression turned sour.

“Yah, are you still keeping in touch with Baekhyun?”

“Yeah, why-“

“Give me your phone.” I quickly gave Daehyun my phone as he scrolled through the contacts, finding Baekhyun’s name and deleting his contact off my phone.

“YAH! JUNG DAEHYUN! Why’d you do that?!” I demanded as I snatched my phone out of his grip, holding to the hope that Baekhyun’s name was still there.

“Because! You talk to him too much!”

“Dude, I let you kiss your fan’s foreheads! And I can’t talk to Baekhyun?” I complained as he sighed.

“I’m sorry. It’s just what happened to the past-“

“Eh, it’s okay. I memorized his number anyway.”

“EH?!” I giggled at Daehyun’s bewildered expression as he sat up, lifting me up and putting me on his lap.

“Do you want me to make you forget?” Daehyun asked in a sultry voice as he leaned in. I pushed his cheeks away, laughing at his funny face.

“YAH! Yongguk oppa! Daehyunnie will kill me!”

“Daehyun, there shall be no killing in this airport,” Yongguk responded tiredly as Daehyun pouted at his hyung

“But hyung!”

“Daehyun, let the girl live. She’s just talking to Baekhyun. It’s not as if they were planning to elope the minute you leave Namjoo, right?”

Daehyun glanced at me, because of what Himchan said. I shrugged uneasily.

“What? It sounds like a stable life plan!” I concluded as Daehyun groaned, slumping on the seat.

“If you leave Daehyun, can I take your place?” Sarang asked hurriedly, looking at Daehyun as Jaehyun raised his eyebrows at his girlfriend.

“Hell to the no. And besides, you have a perfect boyfriend who cares for you already,” I lectured as Sarang’s expression morphed into confusion.

“Who?”

“Jagiya!” Jaehyun reprimanded as Sarang laughed uneasily, pecking Jaehyun’s forehead as if he was a misbehaving child. I glared at her actions. Jaehyun loved her truly, yet…ugh.

“The plane for the flight from Seoul to Philippines is already set. Please prepare your boarding passes and proceed to Gate 16-A, sorry for the inconvenience” The announcer announced as we stood up, gathering our things. Daehyun got his sling bag as I got my backpack.

I removed the earphones from Daehyun’s ear and turned my iPod off.

“Guys, there’s one problem. We’re in Gate 1-A. And Gate 16-A is way over there. RUN!” Himchan yelled as a battle cry as we followed him diligently. We were like running through the airport, carefully dodging people.

“YAH JAEHYUN! TAKE MY MAKE-UP KIT, BAG, HIGH HEELS AND SUITCASE!” I heard Sarang order as I mentally prayed that Jaehyun had the strength to carry all those and still make it in time.

After a few minutes of running, rib aching and panting, we arrived last at Gate 16-A. We tiredly gave our boarding passes to the attendant there before proceeding to the square-like hallway to go to the airplane and finally take our respective seats.

Daehyun went ahead of me, since he needed to talk to Youngjae. I lagged behind with Jaehyun, since Sarang rushed inside the airplane first.

“Aish, why does she need all these make-up for? It’s just Boracay,” Jaehyun commented as I got the make-up kit from him to ease his burden.

“Eh, she’s a girl,”

“And you’re not?”

“I am, sadly, because I’m in the same species as her,” I responded loftily as Jaehyun chuckled, entering the plane along with me.

“Jaehyun…do you still love Sarang?” I asked him as he busily stowed his carry-on bags above the seats. He sighed as he took the make-up bag from me.

“I always have, and I always will. Now go to Daehyun,”

“Yes sir!” I saluted him before running to my respective seat, I glanced at it and raised my eyebrows. Daehyun was sitting by the window with his earphones plugged in his ears, watching the view as Sarang dolled herself in the seat beside him. So the only place I can sit on is beside the aisle.

“Oh hi Namjoo! Come take a sit next to me!” Sarang patted the seat next to her as I glared at her petty hand.

“No thanks. There was an empty seat beside Jaehyun. Tell Daehyun I came.” I glared at the both of them before walking down the aisle like I owned it. I accidentally bumped a flight attendant, but all’s good. I plopped in the middle seat between Youngjae and Jaehyun.

“Problems?” Youngjae asked me as I nodded.

“Daehyun problems?” I nodded again.

“Sarang problems too?”

I nodded as I leaned my head on Jaehyun’s shoulder comfortably while I plugged in my earphones. I put my hood up as I put EXO’s – MAMA on repeat.

Yes, they made a version where they all sang it.

“Namjoo~”

“Hmm.” I blinked my eyes open sleepily as I slowly raised my head to look at Jaehyun. He grinned and produced a biscuit from thin air. And since I was already half-conscious, I just opened my mouth to let him feed me.

“You’re such a kid Namjoongie-“

“Namjoo-“ I turned around to see Daehyun looking at me and Jaehyun. He glanced at the half-eaten biscuit before glancing at me. I don’t know if it was me or Daehyun’s eyes stormed.

“I was about to get you, but  I guess you had other plans.”

“Daehyun-“

“I’ll be in the back with Sarang if you guys need me.” And in that sour note, Daehyun had stomped away, leaving an uncomfortable atmosphere.

“Youngjae, will Daehyun be mad at me?” I asked his best friend as he sighed, nodding surely.

I groaned as I slumped on my seat.

“Namjoo, I need to get Sarang here, and you can help. It’s a win-win situation.”

“I’m listening, Jae.” I leaned in as he whispered the plan to me. I smiled a bit. Hey. It might work.

~.~

“Hey Sarang! Your IQ is so low, it’s below sea level!” I shouted from the front as I, Jaehyun and Youngjae cracked up loudly. Sarang immediately shot out of her seat, looking furious.

“What did you say about my EQ?!” She demanded. I rolled my eyes.

“And the toddler knows how to talk! Who taught you your abc’s?” I asked her as I saw imaginary flames come out of her nose. She stormed over to me, going over to where I sat.

“NOW!”

“AH!” Jaehyun grabbed Sarang’s hand and pulled her towards him as I bolted away, running to the seat beside Daehyun. I collapsed on it successfully, panting.

“Where did Sarang go?” Daehyun asked me bluntly as he played with his phone. I pouted

“She’s with Jae-“

“Okay.” I blinked at his answer. I sighed and carefully placed my head on his shoulder. He didn’t seem to mind. I placed it lightly, so he won’t even feel it.

Daehyun’s POV

I glanced at the head on my shoulder, shifting it so that her head won’t fall. I sighed and put my phone back inside my pocket, holding her head as I leaned on it too.

You think I was still mad at her after she sneezed in her sleep? Nah, she was too cute to stay mad at.

“It’s your fault, Namjoo. See? I can’t even stand seeing you talk to other boys, let alone other boys feeding you. My heart hurts when you don’t refuse. Yah, you should remember you belong with me. You’re my partner, not theirs. I’ll make sure they’ll know that. Aigoo, what am I going to with you?” I ranted. I sighed and started singing one of her favorite songs, SE7EN’s – When I Can’t Sing.

I used a soft voice as to not to wake my princess up.

Namjoo’s POV

Aigoo Daehyun, you thought I was asleep?

Aish, your speech now has me tearing up. And you’re singing now.

What should I do with this turtle?
