“Is it too late to back out?” I pout towards Taeryung who immediately sends me a glare.   “Yes, Seyoung, it’s too late.” She sighs patting the suitcase that lied open on my bed. “Go, go and have fun for the both of us.”   “But how can I have fun whenever he’s also going to be there? And without you or Daehyeon?” I slouch down against the wall between my closet and bathroom.   Today, in less than 3 hours I’d have to be at my school to get on a bus to the airport where my class would get on a plane to New York. It sounds like the trip of a lifetime, yes, but not to me. At least not any more. If you would’ve asked me that four weeks ago I would’ve answered differently.   Going to New York was a dream of mine, one I’ve had since I was a child. I was one of the ones at the forefront begging our teachers to let us go. When they finally got the approval I was ecstatic but all of that excitement has been drained from me. For four weeks ago my boyfriend of 3 years decided we should take a break.   Donghan and I had been going to the same school since we were little. Our families were both well off and were friends on top of that so we were always around each other. I guess it was inevitable that we’d fall for one another.   In the middle of 8th grade is when we first started dating. I can still remember every word that was said when he asked me out. It was after school one day whilst we walked to his mom’s car.   I shake my head of the memory, it all felt fake now. I blink back the tears remembering the words he said four weeks ago.   “I think we should take a break.” His lips were in a thin line as he said them.   I was confused, what was going on? Why was this happening? Had I done something wrong?   “Is it something I did?” I had mumbled back.   His answer made me even more confused, “No, at least I don’t think so. It’s just...I think we should spend some time a part.”   He didn’t really say much or allude to what happened? Had his feelings for me changed? He was very brief and the more I stood there confused the more awkward it got so I just left.   When I got home that night I avoided my parents who would inevitably ask what was wrong. I went straight to my room and cried.   Donghan had been my everything the 3 years we dated. He was my first kiss, my first boyfriend, the first person I slept with. And to have him end things like that just made me feel like complete .   But then again it was just a break, right? At first, after the initial shock wore off and Taeryung had a chance to talk me down I thought on the bright side, it was only a break. We could be back together next week for all I knew.   But as the days continued to count down until today I began to lose hope.   I didn’t know what to do or what any of this meant. I was and am so ing confused.   Did this break mean a breakup? Was he seeing other people? Should I be seeing other people and moving on? Or was I supposed to wait for him to figure things out so he could come and explain and make me less confused?   I didn’t know. And now here I was about to go on a school trip in which he’d be going on to.   This was supposed to be our trip. I worked my off in student council and other committees to get this trip approved so we could spend time together abroad.   And I guess I wouldn’t be so upset if Taeryung or even Daehyeon was going but they aren’t.   Taeryung, my best friend, while she went to same school as Donghan, Daehyeon, and me, a rich kid’s school, she wasn’t rich. She was only attending because of a scholarship she managed to get. I didn’t want to go alone so I begged my dad to pay her way too but Taeryung wouldn’t let him pay for her way.   She decided to stay behind. Daehyeon was older than us, having graduated a year ago so he wasn’t able to go. It made sense as to why they both didn’t/couldn’t want to go.   So now I was having to go on my own.   “It’s New York, Seyoung. It’s your dream vacation place. You’ll have fun, and who knows,” She winks. “Maybe you’ll find a cute American boy while there and you can forget all about he who shall not be named.”   I sigh, “We’re only on a break, Tae.”   She rolls her eyes. “Seyoung, babe, go out and have fun. Don’t let some who couldn’t even spare you the details when asking for said break hold you back.” Ever since she heard the news of our breakup Donghan had been on her list, so this answer was expected. “Seriously, you’re gorgeous and nice, and way too good for him. I don’t know what he was thinking. You’ll find someone way better than him, I promise.”   “But what if I still want him?” A tear slides down my cheek and I quickly wipe it away. “I don’t want to piss him off by talking to other guys.”   She huffs, arms crossing over her chest. “Okay okay, I get it, you’re on a break.” She stands up moving to place her hands out towards me gesturing for me to take them. She tugs me up once my hands are in her’s. “Maybe he’s just going through some and needs time...still a move to not give some details to a girlfriend of 3 years but okay, maybe this trip will bring you guys back together?”   She cringes at her own words, she clearly disliked that idea but I didn’t. I take a deep breath, maybe she was right? Maybe this trip we’d somehow get close again?   “I guess you’re right.” I let go of her hands moving around her to my suitcase. I finally close it, fingers moving to zip it up. I pull it off of my bed letting it rest on the floor.   When I turn back to face her she’s smiling, “Take plenty of pictures for me, oh, and call me every day or night, I’ll stay up waiting for your call if I have to. I want to know everything you do, I’m going on this trip vicariously through you.”   I giggle under my breath my eyes lowering and as they do they land on my outfit, “Do I look okay?”   She looks me over before deadpanning, “Do not say you want to look good for that bastard, I swear to god. It’s like a 14 hour flight, wear something comfortable. Who gives a about what he thinks of you during that time? Don’t sacrifice comfort for him.” She takes a step back bringing her fingers to the bridge of her nose to squeeze the area. “What you’re wearing is great.”   I didn’t want to piss her off even more so I let the topic rest. Plus Donghan was never really the type of person to get blown away by what I wore so I guess it didn’t really matter.   -   I slip out of my dad’s car as he opens the door for me. He moves to back to grab both my suitcases. I pull my backpack and purse from where I had them beside me in the car pulling them on my shoulder.   As I turn to the area where the two small busses were located I heave out a sigh. Now that I didn’t have Taeryung who breathed confidence around me I felt extremely alone.   “You ready, Sunshine?” My dad comes back in front of me with my two suitcases in tow.   I swallow thickly, my mom joining his side, my younger brother trailing after her. “Yeah, I’m ready.”   My mom places her arm around my waist tugging me into her side as we walk, my dad and brother move to walk in front of us. My mom leans closer to my ear, “No matter what I want you to have fun on this trip, alright?”   My eyes trail up to her and I smile sadly towards her, “I’ll try.”   Once we’re in front of my homeroom teacher my dad turns to me. His hands move into the air to wrap around me. “Do you really have to go for a whole week? That’s practically the entire summer!” He over-exaggerates.   I snort as he pulls back, “The summer’s just beginning, dad. I’ll be back before you know it and then we can go on that golfing trip you’ve been wanting to go on.”   He chuckles, “It’s a shame we can’t do partners anymore. Hoyoung and I are still one up on you and Donghan.” My mom quickly elbows him in the gut. “I’m sorry.” He awkwardly murmurs. My stomach sinks, even my family missed him, I could tell.   Hoyoung steps forward changing the subject, “You’d better buy me something nice while you’re there.” He hugs me briefly before stepping back.   My mom steps in again whilst my dad quickly moves to where the lady was calling for luggage. “Just have fun, you deserve it.” She kisses my forehead before backing away with Hoyoung and my dad behind her.   I sigh once they are gone. “Alright!” The homeroom teacher’s voice echos into the air. “Ladies your bus is to the left, boys to the right. You are separated at first due to the speeches that will be told on the way to the airport. The bus will leaving in 15 minutes but be on it in 5 so we can do a head count.”   I sit near the front by myself on the way there. Once we’ve left the school and on the way to the airport our female biology teacher steps into the aisle. She proceeds to read us the rules. I briefly listen to them as she explains we can sit wherever we want on the plane in the sections the school bought tickets for. She then went on to explain we had two meals paid for on the flight and when they’d be served. That the girls would stay with her in order to make sure everyone made it aboard. Then she went on to the real reason we were all split from the boys.   “Once we arrive in New York we’ll head straight to the hotel. The boys will be on one end and the girls on the other. There is to be no intermingling behind closed doors. If we find out there will be consequences ladies.” She goes on to express further about not sneaking into the boy’s rooms and I begin to tune her out.   I wouldn’t have to worry about that unless Taeryung was right and this trip would result in me making up with Donghan. I slowly tune back in as she tells us all to have fun before sitting back down.   My fingers meet together in my lap. Should I try and sit next to him on the plane? This would be my first ever flight and when this trip was first announced I was freaking out. But he adamantly said he’d be there at my side when we’d take off to hold my hand so at the time I felt less nervous. But now...I don’t know maybe he’d still hold my hand now?   When we arrive at the airport we are quickly rushed inside. Everything happens so fast (but so slow) that we it was almost a blur to me. Though maybe it was all just a cluster for me to differentiate between the events that got me to the line to get on the plane.   Some of the boys had already boarded but part of them were in line behind us so I was confused what happened for that to occur. Regardless Donghan must be one of the ones that already got on. I wondered if there’s an open seat next to him?   When I step onto the plane my nerves start to freak out, gosh, what would I do or say if I were to sit next to him? No no, don’t get your hopes up, Seyoung.   My homeroom teacher smiles once I get to where our seats were, he directs me to the area in which I could choose to sit. My eyes search for Donghan and I find him easily near the back of the plane. There was an open seat next to him, my heart beat speeds up. Had he saved it for me or were his friends not on the plane yet?   I take a deep breath as the line in front of me begins to disperse into their seats. I find myself getting closer to where he was. He looks up from his phone and we make eye contact and my heart almost stops.   “Donghan, can I sit with you?” A girl’s voice causes him to break eye contact with me. My eyes trail from him over to her. It was Park Hyesoo, one of the more popular girls at our school. One in which has had a very evident crush on Donghan for months.   “Oh, Uh, sure.” He smiles towards her to which my heart literally rips in two. My eyes find an empty row coming up and I quickly duck into the furthest seat. What the hell was that?   People continue to clamber onto the plane and I could hear their muffled conversations in the background of my heart attack.   “Yongha, back here dude.” A deep voice calls out.   “Jakyung, over here!” A girl hollers.   Why did I look at him? Why was I stupid enough to think he’d save me a seat? God that’s so embarrassing!   “Yohan came! No way dude!” The same deep voice from earlier calls out.   “Yohan, I saved you a seat!” Someone sweetly coos.   I let my head rest against the window as I watch the airline crews scramble across the concrete.   “Is this seat taken?” A voice calls out.   I let out a low sigh.   “Yohan!” Someone calls out again.   Someone clears their throat again, “Excuse me.”   My head lifts from the window to glance back at whoever it was. I quickly sit up straight. Kim Yohan was standing in the aisle in front of the empty seat beside me. Kim Yohan was just as popular as Donghan but his popularity was due to how amazing he was at taekwondo and of course of his good looks. I was surprised he was even on this trip, I thought he had a tournament this weekend.   “Yeah?”   He snorts, “I asked if this seat was taken?”   My eyes lower to the empty seat, it all hit me at once. Oh , that was him asking that question earlier. That was him asking me. I was so out of it I put it off as background noise.   “Oh no, it isn’t.” I quickly stammer out.   He smiles softly, “Do you mind if I sit here?”   I quickly gesture towards it, “No of course not, it’s not like I own it or anything.”   He chuckles moving to place his backpack in the overhead bin, his eyes drop to me once again. “Are you planning on wearing that the entire flight or..?”   I squint towards him glancing behind me to which I notice I was still wearing my own backpack. “Oh!” I quickly scramble to pull it off of me.   “Here.” He gestures out to me.   “Thank you.” I hand him my bag to which he places it above us to before he’s sitting down.   Curiosity gets the better of me. “Didn’t someone save you a seat back there?”   He glances at me with a sigh as he slips his smaller bag underneath the seat in front of us. “Yeah I guess, but I don’t really know her? She comes to all my games and likes to pretend we’re close but truth be told I don’t think I’ve ever held a proper conversation with her.” He shrugs.   The voice sounded like it came from Ha Shiyeon, whom was Hyesoo’s best friend. And well like Hyesoo one of the most popular girls in school and beautiful at that. It was shocking that he didn’t want to sit with her.   “I see.”   “It’s just awkward, if that makes sense.” He admits with a hum.   I slowly nod, “it does.”   “Are you okay? You seemed to be having a rough time when I first asked to sit.” His eyes run over my face like he was checking if I was fine now.   “Hmm, oh yeah, I’m fine now.” I glance back trying to catch a glimpse of Donghan but from my position I can’t see him at all.   Yohan no doubt catches my glance and he hums. “Oh I see. Why aren’t you sitting with him if I might ask? I mean you’re dating him.”   I swallow thickly, and he immediately notices. “Oh.” He quickly starts. “I’m sorry.”   “It’s fine, though I’m shocked you didn’t already know. It felt like the whole school knew before I did, honestly.” I let my head rest back against my seat. “I mean I’m still confused what even happened and he said it’s only a break but it’s been four weeks now.”   “Love is confusing in general.” He shrugs patting my shoulder. “Stay strong.”   I smile softly, “Thanks.” I buckle my seat belt before glancing back at him. “I thought you had a competition this weekend?”   “I did, but this trip sounded more fun.”   We go back to our devices for a bit until the plane begins moving to the runway. My fingers grip the hand rests tightly as our plane comes to its turn to leave.   “Are you okay?” Yohan murmurs again drawing my attention towards him. His brows are furrowed worriedly.   “Yeah, it’s just this is my first flight.” I admit sheepishly with a pout.   He chuckles, “Cute.” Suddenly his hand is resting on top of mine. His fingers pull my hand from the hand rest until he’s placing the other underneath it, fingers slipping between mine. There’s a small stir in my chest at his gesture.   “You’ll be fine, I’m right here with you.” He squeezes my hand. Suddenly the plane is taking off down the runway and my hand quickly squeezes his back to which he chuckles once more.   I take a deep breath my mind exploding with thoughts. Who knew Kim Yohan would be the one helping me through my first flight fears?   When the plane has slowed and I’ve somewhat calmed down I realize I’m still holding his hand. But honestly I was still a little scared and now I was tired on top of that.   “Um, would it be okay if I held your hand a little longer? Until I’ve calmed down.” I murmur embarrassed.   Yohan smiles towards me, my stomach turns at the sight. It was weird, the smile was no different than the ones he gave me before now but this time it felt different and I didn’t know why.   “Of course.”   “Thank you.”   I don’t know how long passes but I’ve definitely fallen asleep. My fingers are still wrapped through Yohan’s and now my head is on his shoulder and due to the weight on my head he too had fallen asleep. The vents above us were open and cold air was blasting through them so I leaned into the warmth he provided and tried to fall back asleep.   But someone clearing their throat suddenly causes me to jolt. The weight of Yohan’s head lifts from on top mine and I quickly pull my hand from his as I glance around him to see Shiyeon standing there.   Her eyes were piercing through me before she smiles towards Yohan. “Hey.” She smiles even wider.   “Did you need something?” Yohan says blinking towards her to fully wake up.   “Oh yeah, I just, I don’t think you heard me earlier but we saved you a seat back there. It’s still open, why don’t you come and sit?” She gestures over her shoulder.   “We?” Yohan raises an eyebrow.   “Me, Hyesoo, and Donghan.” Her eyes flicker towards me purposefully. I sit back in my seat slightly annoyed at her jab.   “Well as you can see I’m fine sitting here, thanks though for the offer.” He hums to which her smile wavers slightly.   “Oh okay!” She turns on her heels leaving us be again. I pull the window blind down with a sigh to busy myself after that encounter.   “Want to watch a movie?” Yohan suddenly asks to which I glance towards him again.   “My headphones are in my suitcase.” I tsk to myself.   “We can share mine.” He gestures out an AirPod.   I slowly take it between my fingers. Yohan was surprisingly sweet. Reminds me of when Donghan and I first started dating and he was super sweet all the time. It made me sad that all that nice stuff had slowly disappeared throughout the years of dating.   Honestly the past few months we were only meeting up to either sleep together or get food. There wasn’t really any fluttering moments between us anymore, not any that weren’t driven by lust that is. Which is sad to think about now.   Why had I only just realized this? Was this why Donghan wanted a break? Something claws up my throat at the thought. This made me even more confused. Was it something I done again?   Yohan seems to notice I’ve zoned out, so he takes the AirPod from my fingers, his own fingers moving my hair behind my ear drawing me from my zoned out state. He places the AirPod into my ear and my eyes meet his.   We both start giggling at the looks we were giving one another and the feeling from earlier slips from throat as I do. I bite my lip, it felt nice to be careless with him.   “Sorry.” He murmurs, “I could tell you were overthinking about something so...”   “No it’s alright. You saved me from harassing myself about something stupid.” My eyes widen at my own words. “Stupid?” Was it stupid? Was thinking about getting back to together with Donghan stupid?   If Taeryung were to be in my mind right now she’d be screaming yes into every corner of my brain but she wasn’t so I’m left even more confused.   “Oh well in that case, I guess I’m not sorry.” He snorts playfully.   “What movies do you have?” I lean into his shoulder so I can see his phone screen.   -   We both had fallen back asleep once more once the movie was over and we had eaten our second meal. This time Yohan was asleep on my shoulder and me on his head and we were awakened by the captain letting us know we were going to be landing soon.   Yohan gestures out his hand once more, I chuckle slipping my fingers into his preparing myself for landing. “Why didn’t your friend come?”   “Who? Taeryung?” I ask moving to open the blind over the window with my free hand.   “Mm.”   “She couldn’t afford to. She’s actually going to our school via a scholarship and even though I offered to pay her way she refused to come.” I glance down at my lap. “So I’m going on this trip so she can live vicariously through me.” And for maybe the rare case I come back with Donghan as my boyfriend again. My eyes trail to where Yohan’s fingers overlapped mine. Or maybe someone else.   My eyes dart up to him. “So you have no set plans then?”   “No not at all, I mean other than the obvious, I’m going to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Times Square.” My fingers absentmindedly rub the skin on the back of his hand.   His eyes drop to his hand and I realize what I’m doing so I stop but he pulls our hands into the air. “Well consider me your buddy for this trip. It wouldn’t be safe for you to go to those places alone.” He firmly shakes my hand before suddenly we’re landing and I grip tightly onto his hand.   Honestly it wasn’t as scary as I thought it’d be but it took me off guard especially paired with his words. I sigh once we’ve started to slow down, “Thank you, Yohan.”   All he does is smile in return glancing past me to the window.   -   The first day we all rested, some of us more jetlagged than others. I originally was placed in a room with one of Hyesoo’s friends but she quickly backed out and found another room so now I had my own room. Which was lonely considering when I imagined this trip I imagined sharing a room with Taeryung.   But then again having a room to yourself is never a bad thing. You can be messy, you don’t have to worry about annoying someone. Plus I didn’t have to deal with Hyesoo or Shiyeon waltzing into my room like they owned the place.   I lied across my bed deciding now would be a good time to contact Taeryung. It was 6:30 pm here so that meant it was 7:30 am in Korea so she’d have to be up for school. It was the perfect time.   I press my finger on the FaceTime button my face coming into view on my phone screen until she answers and my face is replaced with hers. “Babe!” She coos tiredly. She was already dressed in her uniform for her summer classes. “Who’s your roommate for the trip?”   “Oh it was originally one of Hyesoo’s friends but she begged Ms. Go to room with Hyesoo so now there’s 3 in one room down the hall. I’m honestly not mad.” I chuckle to which she sends me a thumbs up murmuring “lucky” under her breath.   “How was the flight?”   I think back to how it was surprisingly a great time because Yohan sat next to me but I decide to leave everything about him out of our conversation. For if she knew she’d pressure me to make a move on him.   I’m not comfortable with that, it’s too early for that. Plus what if I get the chance to talk to Donghan while here.   “It was alright.” I smile softly.   Her eyes catch on my smile, “Were you able to sit next to him?” Her eyes watch my face.   “Oh no, Hyesoo beat me to it.” I shrug with a sigh not entirely bothered by it now. I mean yes it was still embarrassing considering I would’ve definitely sat with him if given the chance. But then again, what would we have talked about?   It would’ve probably been awkward. It would’ve been more embarrassing had I sat next to him.   “Hmm, I don’t quite believe that. You seem content and not entirely heart broken.” She eyes me suspicious.   “Think what you want.” I snort towards her.   She waves it off having enough conversation about Donghan. “So what will you be doing tomorrow?”   “I think as a group we’re all heading to Upper Manhattan to visit one of the colleges there and then dropping by Central Park and Hell’s Kitchen, and then we are on our own for dinner while there.”   “I’m so jealous, maybe I should’ve took your dad up on his offer.” She pouts slightly.   “I wish you would have.” I pout back. “Are you and Daehyeon hanging out tonight?”   She hums, “Yeah we’ll probably end up watching movies at my place since you aren’t here.”   I missed them both already. “Tell him hello for me.”   “Dinner time!” I hear one of the teacher’s knock on my door. I glance over my shoulder.   “I will.” She hums back.   I sigh glancing back towards her, “Looks like I have to go, it’s dinner time.”   “Alright, well call me tomorrow night. I don’t have school tomorrow so you can call later into the night over there.”   -   At dinner I find myself sitting at the same table as Donghan. It was the only one available and I dreaded every minute of it. I was at the other end since it was empty. Shiyeon sits down across from me without a plate of food drawing my attention from my own food. She was just down there next to Hyesoo why had she moved down here?   “What’s going on between you and Yohan?” Her eyes pierce through me and I can’t help but roll my eyes at her trying to intimidate me.   “What do you mean?” I reply completely uninterested in her banter.   “Are you two dating?” She clicks her tongue.   “I didn’t know sitting next to each other on a plane ride automatically meant you were dating?” I raise an eyebrow towards her resting my forearms on the table.   “It doesn’t, I’m glad you’re aware.” She scoffs lowering her voice. “Guys are only interested in you because you’re easy.”   I’m taken aback by her words. “Easy?” My lips drop open.   She snorts flipping her hair over her shoulder since it had fallen. “Everyone knows you’ve slept with Donghan.”   My lips slam shut, how would people know that? I mean unless they’ve just assumed? But she sounded so sure of herself. Had he told people? I mean sure I’ve told Taeryung and I’m sure Daehyeon knows too but they’d never tell anyone.   Anger burrows in my chest, “Who are you to judge me?”   She smirks, “Who am I?” She giggles under her breath annoyingly. “I’m the best friend of the girl who’s about to be your ex’s girlfriend.”   “Shiyeon.” Hyesoo calls out for her tearing her gaze from me. I shoot a glare towards Hyesoo noticing that both her and Donghan were staring in my direction.   Right about that time the chair next to me slides out and my attention is drawn to Yohan who’s sitting down. As he sits his food down his eyes raise finally noticing the tension he’s suddenly surrounded in.   “If you’ll excuse me.” Shiyeon says softly towards him eyes landing on me once more. My eyes were still locked on Donghan but they were glaring through him. If he wants to surround himself in es then go ahead. My eyes tear from him to land on my food. My appetite was no longer there.   “What did I just walk in on?” Yohan murmurs grabbing for his food.   I let out a low huff, “Nothing important.”   He hums lowly not pressuring me to continue to explain which I was grateful for. I didn’t need him weirded out by how suddenly people thought we were dating. Which was completely ridiculous, before today we had barely talked. Sure we had classes together for years now and I had even been paired up on projects with him before but we’d never been close enough for people to assume we were dating.   It was so far fetched and honestly she was only saying that so she could taunt me. I don’t even know why I entertain her antics.   “You should finish eating.” His eyes meet with mine since I had zoned out again.   “I lost my appetite.”   “Well find it.” He nudges me chuckling at how I glare towards him. “Seriously it’s been a long day, you need to eat.”   “Okay, mom.” I snort before picking up my fork once more.   -   As soon as we woke up the next day we were herded to breakfast and then onto a bus to Upper Manhattan. I spend the time on the college campus learning about the programs offered there before they herd us back onto the bus dropping us off at Central Park.   At the park Yohan catches up to me and we walk around it a few times before stopping at one of the ice cream trucks. Once we’re done eating our ice cream we rent bikes and ride around. I was having the time of my life on this trip which was ironic considering I’d thought I’d be alone the entire time.   I was seriously so thankful for Yohan.   Lunch time comes too quickly and we are forced to meet back up with the others. This time Yohan is able to sit next to me on the bus.   “Do you have some place in mind that you’d like to eat at in Hell’s Kitchen?” He hums drawing my attention from the cityscape outside the bus window.   I shrug, “Not really, I was just going to walk and find a place based on what looked and sounded good.”   He nods, “Is it alright if I eat with you?”   I smile softly, “Of course, it’s more than alright. I hate being alone honestly.”   He sheepishly sighs relieved, “Thank god, I was worried I was beginning to bug you.”   I shake my head quickly, “Not at all.”   -   After we arrive in Hell’s Kitchen and we’ve managed to shake off those from our school Yohan and I walk down the streets admiring the view. Honestly the city wasn’t much different from Seoul, it was after all a city too but it was for sure different due to the difference in cultures. That’s what made it so refreshing and nice to see how other cultures lived.   Yohan slips his hand into mine stopping me from crossing the street due to my distracted state. I in a breath as a car moves into the spot I almost stepped in.   “Thank you.” I glance at him.   He nudges me with his shoulder, “Stop daydreaming.” He cracks a smile.   When the light for us to walk has switched on again he tugs me after him our hands still interlocked. I don’t bother bringing it up because I was bound to get distracted again due to the city sights.   “Oh, what about that place?” He tugs me down the street and I chuckle at the excited puppy-like look on his face. He could be really adorable for being as tall and strong as he was.   I glance in the direction he was gesturing in. It was some Italian restaurant. “Sure, why not?”   He grins wide and my stomach fills with butterflies as he hops up and down for a few seconds before tugging me lightly behind me.   As I lied in bed later that night I bring my phone up pressing send on a FaceTime call to Taeryung. When she answers I can see Daehyeon behind her.   “Hello hello!” Both of them call out fighting for space in the cameras view.   “How was your first full day in New York?” Daehyeon cheers.   “It was really fun! It’s so nice here.” I smile softly remembering Yohan’s happy look whenever lunch was served to him. He really wanted spaghetti today.   “You seem like a fool in love.” Taeryung sighs. “
