You felt yourself slowly come to from your nap, only to find yourself asleep on Baekhyun's shoulder with his head rested upon yours. You could hear his gentle breaths and soft snores as he continued to sleep on top of your head. You suddenly recalled the other times that this had happened, and although you knew you shouldn't have, you stayed still and let him continue to sleep like that. You just couldn't help but relish in the moment, just wanting to forget all that had happened between you two. Wanting to push all of it aside, as if it were all just some nightmare that you had dreamt up. You did reposition his head onto your shoulder though. Baekhyun had always been a heavy sleeper and didn't wake up as you moved him. 

You stopped a flight attendant that was walking through the aisle and asked her how much longer till you reached the stop over area where Baekhyun and you would have to board another plane.

"About three more hours", she replied with a cheery voice.

You thanked her for the info and decided to watch a movie to pass the remaining hours of the flight. The seats of the airplane were equipped with small touch screens on the backs of the headrests which allowed you movie and internet access. You plugged your headphones into an earjack on one side of the touch screen and tapped on the movies option of the screen. You chose one of your favorite romance movies, The Notebook. After a few minutes of waiting for the movie to load, the screen finally began to play the movie. 

You were about halfway through the movie when slight movement on your left shoulder caught your attention.

"Good morning", Baekhyun greeted with a derpy smile on his face, his eyes still closed. You couldn't help but smile back, but quickly wiped it off your face.You can't forgive him so easily, you thought stubbornly.

"It's not morning yet", you finally answered while gesturing to the pitch black sky outside the plane's windows.

"Oh, yeah", Baekhyun said while giving out a fake laugh. 

The rest of the flight was spent in silence as you continued to watch your movie and Baekhyun decided to get on his laptop to check on some emails and other work related things. 

Soon enough the flight was over and Baekhyun and you boarded the next plane. Last flight, you thought with relief. You were so exhausted from all the moving about you had to do when it came to traveling, but you persevered through it all because reaching your destination was always worth it. The following flight went just like the first one, but you managed to take a nap without falling asleep on Baekhyun since you had kept space between you two with some help from a pillow that you had requested from the one of the flight attendants. 

You had managed to sleep throughout the whole six hours of the flight, which you were grateful for since that prevented you from encountering any other awkward situations with Baekhyun. But the time came when he had to wake you up to tell you that the plane had landed. You stretched a little before gathering your belongings from the plane seat and compartments, then followed the other passengers to the plane's exit. Baekhyun trailed behind you with his carry on and other belongings in tow.

Soon enough, you and Baekhyun were seated within a taxi with your guys' luggage placed in the trunk. The minimal distance between you two had you feeling like just jumping out of the car.

"So, you two here to get married?" the taxi driver suddenly spoke.

"To get married?" you sputtered out.

"Yes, I mean Paris is quite a popular place for young couples to get married." the driver responded.

He looked around his mid forties and gave off a grandpa vibe with his gray velvet hat and his sweater and black tweed pants.

"We're not here to get married", Baekhyun spoke. Even though the dark sky didn't allow much light, the light that was given was enough to see his cheeks glow red from embarrasment.

You couldn't help but feel a bit of disappintment rise within you. Does that mean that he didn't want to marry me? Even if he did cheat on me, hadn't he ever thought about our future together before? you tsked. The driver was quiet after that, sensing that he had caused some tension between you two, as if there wasn't enough already. Your mind was too caught up in what if questions and trying to figure them out, that when Baekhyun tapped you on the shoulder to signal that you guys had reached the hotel, you were caught by surprise and jumped a little from his touch.

"We're here at the hotel now", he announced softly with a look of guilt on his face.

You both exited the car and with some help from the driver, unloaded your luggages and other belongings from the trunk. 

After checking into the hotel, Baekhyun led you to your rooms. Following him to the elevator then through some halls, you both reached a door labeled "Room 227". As Baekhyun began to enter the room, you asked him where your room was.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that I only booked one room. Sorry", he apologized dryly.

"What do you mean you only booked one room!" you yelled out.

"I suggested this trip so that we could fix things between us. So that I could earn back your trust and love", he stated cooly.

"How do you think booking only one room behind my back after we both agreed to booking seperate rooms, going to help you earn my trust!" you huffed out angrily.

"How do you think staying in seperate rooms is going to help me earn your trust and love back? Even if I take you out, you're just going to shut yourself off from me! I've been dealing with you shutting me out since the last two flights, hell, I've been dealing with it for the past few weeks! I've had enough with you keeping yourself closed off from me. When I tapped on your shoulder in the taxi, you ing flinched. I am so saddened that I have ed up bad enough to make you scared of me. I know what I did hurt you in so many ways that I can't even begin to comprehend it, but I'm trying to make things right. I've realized my mistakes and I've accepted the I've been dealt with as my consequences. Like that whole thing going on between you and that brown haired guy. Don't act like I'm talking nonsense because I know that you feel something for him. And I'm so unbelievably angry at myself for letting that happen. So please give me a break and just allow me back in. I'm trying, but you're just not giving me a chance to show you." Baekhyun exclaimed in a burst of anger and frustration. His sudden outburst left you silent as you realized that all that he had said was true.

"Fine", you finally spoke. "I'll try, but just know that's it not going to be easy Baekhyun."

He looked hopeful at your reply, but frowned slightly as you acknowledged him. "Please call me Baek like you always used to", he requested in such a quiet manner that you barely heard him.

You observed him before you, him with his head slightly angled towards the floor with his fingers twidling with themselves, a habit he had for when he was nervous. You finally realized just how nervous he was when it came to talking to you, you hadn't seen Baekhyun this way since you two had first started dating back in college. You two were strangers to one another all over again, which scared you to point where you just wanted to hug him closely to you and just move on like nothing had ever happened. But you knew that wouldn't be right, something had changed in your guys' relationship and you wanted to see if despite that change, you could still love Baekhyun as much as you had loved him before.

But just this once,  you thought selfishly. 

"Baek", you said aloud. Then in a moment of longing, you grabbed him into a hug and held your head against his chest, just like he had done for you around  the time of your mother's death. You both stayed like like that for a bit, then you released him from your hold and backed away slightly, putting some space between yourselves.

"Come back", Baekhyun whispered desperately as he pulled you in for another hug. 

After Baekhyun reluctantly released you from the hug, you both made your way to the bed, where you both laid by each other with your head rested upon his chest and his arms wrapped around your waist.

"Just like old times", you whispered. Completely exhausted despite your long nap on the plane, you slowly began to fall asleep, but not before you felt Baekhyun press a kiss to the top of your head and say, "I love you".
