Naeun looked around her room, clothes scattered across the floor and her bed, while her new puppy pranced around the floor, thinking he was in an obstacle course with all the clothes. She was frantic knowing that her flight would be leaving in a matter of four hours. “Jackson, I don’t know what else to pack,” she spoke loud enough for the phone to pick up her voice that was docked in her speaker on her desk. “Just pack whatever, babe. I’m almost done, I’ll be there in an hour,” her boyfriend’s voice echoed in her room. Kong-ie barked at the desk when he heard Jackson’s voice. This made the female to chuckle at the puppy. Her eyes scanned her surroundings. “Dammit…” Her luggage was already full of shorts, tank tops, and t-shirts. But she knew she was missing something. “Oh! I forgot the bathing suits!” She snapped her fingers and went to the dresser and dug around for the bathing suits she owned. Pulling out five pairs, she walked back to her open luggage and stuffed them into the mesh.
“Babe, I’m leaving the dorm.” Naeun nodded to herself even though he wouldn’t see her. She rushed down her stairs, slipping on a step a loud yelp leaving her lips. “Are you okay?!” Flustered, Naeun yelled: “I’m fine! I’m fine! I shouldn’t be rushing down the stairs,” she chuckled and continued down the stairs to the shoe shelf next to the front door. From the upstairs, she can hear a car starting and music playing. She bent down to grab two pairs of flats and flip flops that she had stacked up on the top shelf. Walking back up the stairs, she listened to the music that was coming from the car that Jackson was driving.
She sat in front of the open luggage and slipped her footwear into plastic bags before organizing them over the towel that she placed on top of her clothes. Kong-ie slipped into her lap and rubbed his head into her thigh. Naeun placed her hand on his small body and stared at the luggage for a couple seconds, her eyes averting to her packed carry-on backpack. “At least I already have that bag packed,” she muttered to herself. “I’m outside your apartment building.” Naeun got up from the floor and slowly descended down the stairs with Kong-ie in her arms, cautious not to slip a second time. She went up to the door and cracked it open and peeked from the open space. “Where’s dad, hm?” Naeun asked the puppy. He barked a tiny sound and Naeun kissed his head.
Unlike the female, Jackson had finished packing his stuff a few days back with an exception to adding a few, and taking some out the days to follow. Their flight was early in the morning, and required they were to be checked in two hours before which explains why he was coming at the ungodly hour of four o’clock a.m. Before leaving the dorms, he makes sure he hasn’t forgotten anything and tries his best not to arouse any of the members–especially since he had already waken Mark up after he did some last minute packing. While he carries his stuff out to the car, he makes sure to thank Mark for helping with his last minute packing and tells him to take care, along with the rest of the members.
After making sure all of his stuff is inside the car’s trunk, he takes a seat on the driver’s seat and turns on the engine. He eyes the analog clock on the car’s dashboard which now read half past four a.m. Perfect. He lets out a small sigh, relieved that he’s still ahead of schedule before turning on the radio and placing his phone on one of the cupholders, making sure to put it on speakerphone. “Are you almost ready, babe? Don’t forget! We have to check in by six in the morning!” He replies before getting on the road and starts driving to the female’s apartment. He quietly hums to the radio playing, unable to contain his excitement. This trip had been planned months beforehand and he’s just happy his much needed vacation was finally here, not to mention his first vacation spent with the female. It was still dark outside and there weren’t too many cars outside so there was luckily no traffic. It didn’t take long before he was in front of the female’s apartment’s doors, letting out an “I’m outside your apartment building” so she could let him in.
He waits for a bit, until he hears footsteps running down the stairs, immediately smiling widely once he sees the female. A small chuckle escapes his lips at the sight of the dog they had gotten together in her arms as he leans forward to press a kiss on the female’s lips and to later pet the dog’s head. “Hi, sweetie. Did you miss daddy, hm?” He coos with a chuckle before he follows the female into the apartment. “So, are you almost done packing, babe? Do you need some help?” He asks, before taking off his hat momentarily to comb through his hair with his fingers, and quickly putting it back on.
