Chapter List Chapter 30. That Oh-So-Cliché Airport Chase
The 2PM van pulled up outside the main entrance of Incheon Airport. Before the van could come to a complete stop Taecyeon was already out the door and running towards the entrance.
As soon as he entered the airport his eyes scanned the room for anything or anyone particular that would catch his eye. His eyes reached the digital display as he looked for that one line.
SEL to AKL ------------- 8:30P ------------ ON TIME
He still had time to catch her before she boarded. Taecyeon spotted the international flights wing and started running towards that direction, his members trying to catch up to him as soon as they had got out of the van.
“Taecyeon-ah, wait up!” Junsu shouted, stopping every now and then to catch his breath, his recent knee recovery giving in. Chansung went over to give Junsu a hand, placing the elder’s arm around his shoulder so he could take the weight of his injury.
“Ahh, what love does to people, huh hyung?” Chansung commented, helping the hobbling Junsu catch up with Taecyeon and the rest of the members.
Taecyeon ignored the comments from his members as he searched for the correct gate. Gate A-G, Gate Q-V. Where was Gate L? A vibration in his pocket disrupted his concentration.
Taec, you at airport? Whereabouts?
- Jay
Why would Jay be asking where he was? He was confused but replied nonetheless.
Uh yeah. International wing, why?
Stay there.
Taecyeon didn’t understand what Jay was on about but he listened and stayed put. The rest of 2PM caught up and they took a seat on one of the benches in the middle of the wing.
The atmosphere in the airport was just like any other. People arriving, people leaving, farewells, welcomes, people waiting, flight attendants, pilots, business people and the list goes on. She couldn’t help but find herself to be the only one alone that wasn’t a business person. Her drink had just arrived as she gave nod to the waiter.
Asuka looked around the airport and felt rather anxious. There was always something about airports that she found unnerving. Jay having to leave her alone didn’t make in any easier either. She glanced at her phone for the nth time that day as if expecting a call or message. She hadn’t had the time to tell the boys about her sudden change in flight but she was almost certain that Taecyeon would’ve told them. If not, Jay would’ve right?
Her flight was called over the intercom, warning her that she would be boarding soon. Asuka got up and walked towards where the waiting rooms were.
She looked around one last time as if searching for a familiar face. She knew that him showing up was a low chance but there was a small part of her that hoped he would.
With a sigh, Asuka pulled up the handle of her suitcase and put her other bag over her shoulder as she made her way towards the gate.
“SUKA!” she stopped in her tracks at the sound of her name. That voice. No, it couldn’t be.
“SUKA!” she turned around and her breath hitched at the sight of the seven males in front of her. They were all standing there with big grins planted on their faces. Her gaze fell on Jay. Didn’t he leave? She mentally facepalmed realising Jay lied to her.
“How did you guys… don’t y’all have a schedule?” Y’all, seriously?
“Hey.” His tone was soft, still wearing that toothy grin of his.
“Hey--”
“You couldn’t even give your best friend a call to say that your flight was moved,” Nichkhun cut Asuka off, punching her arm a little too hard.
“Why? Jealous I told Taec and not you?” Asuka replied teasingly. “Jay, you lied! You left me all alone and the waiter at the airport cafe was giving me weird looks.”
“Sorry Suka. I couldn’t let you go without saying goodbye to my boys now could I? I did it once and I’m not letting you make that mistake, again.” Jay said, placing an arm on her shoulder and looking her level in the eye.
“Thank you and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys.” She bowed, while the guys just smiled and shook their heads.
"Last call for flight AN137 from Seoul to Auckland, please make your way towards Gate L. That is flight AN137 last call; make your way towards Gate L if you haven’t already. Thank you."
“I guess that’s me. Uhh...I was never good with goodbyes so...I’ll see you around.” She bowed one last time, before smiling at the seven in front of them.
"Wait, that's it?" Chansung's voice stopped Asuka from turning around and leaving.
"No hug or kiss?" Junho added.
"You want her to kiss all of us?" Wooyoung turned towards Junho.
"Do you want me to kiss all of you?" Asuka cocked an eyebrow at Wooyoung. Laughter ensued after Asuka's comment.
"I think they're fine if you just kiss me." Taecyeon said, pulling the female closer. "Can't you just stay?" He bent down and whispered in her ear.
“Don’t make this harder than it already is, Taec,” she replied in the same hushed tone. Asuka turned her head and her eyes locked onto Taecyeon’s. They slowly moved to his lips as she closed in the gap between them.
“Khun-ah, can I bunk with you tonight?” Junsu suddenly asked Nichkhun, causing a confused expression to form on the younger’s face. “I don’t think I could put up with a moody Taecyeon tonight.”
“Ehh Junsu-yah, we’ll make sure Taecyeon’s happy tonight. We’ll all go out for drinks, on me.” Junsu’s face lightened up at their leader’s proposition. He was glad Jay was back.
“I’m gonna be late, Taec.” Asuka pulled away from him. “I’ll see you soon okay?” Taecyeon gave a small nod and pecked her on the forehead.
“Don’t forget about me okay?”
“I’ll try, but I can’t--” Taecyeon nudged her arm lightly. “I’ll miss you.” She picked up her bag and pulled up the handle on her suitcase. “See you guys soon, hopefully. Don’t go around partying hard, you have your comeback soon so work hard okay?”
“Yes.”
“2PM FIGHTING!” Asuka gave a fist pump before turning around and walking towards the gate. All she wanted to do now was go back home, get whatever she needed to get done, and fly back to Seoul.
