it was eight o'clock in the morning and joon was sat on the couch in his living room, full luggage packed beside him.

he was tapping his foot, anxiously waiting for the text from jimin that he was there to pick him up.

it was finally the big day. the day they had been talking about for weeks and they were both so excited. namjoon hadn't seen jimin in person for about two days- both of them using the time to do any last-minute assignments and pack for the trip. usually, they were together every day, so having a little break from seeing each other only added to the excitement.

namjoon was completely jittery, turning his phone on to look for notifications, then turning it back off.

sung-ha walked out from the kitchen, handing namjoon a paper bag. namjoon looked inside and saw tons of snacks, as well as two bento boxes filled with amazing-looking food sung-ha must have prepared for him and jimin.

"you have a long plane ride ahead of you," sung-ha said, with a smile, "lunch for you and jimin and some snacks for later."

namjoon smiled, standing from the couch to hug his grandfather.

"thank you. this looks amazing," namjoon said.

sung-ha smiled.

"of course, joonie. you guys have fun, okay?"

namjoon nodded.

"we will, grandpa."

the man smiled, heading to walk back to the kitchen before he remembered something.

"oh!" he started, reaching into his pocket, and pulling out two hundred dollar bills, "this is for you, too. i know everything's paid for, but just in case you end up needing anything. i don't want you going all the way to spain empty-handed."

namjoon's lips parted.

"are you sure, grandpa? this is a lot of money."

sung-ha nodded.

"of course. keep it," he said, with a smile.

namjoon took the money, slipping it into his wallet so he wouldn't lose it.

"thank you for all this, grandpa. i really-"

"joon, come on!"

both sung-ha and joon looked up and saw jimin peeking in from the front door.

"i've been texting you for five minutes! i want to get to the airport!"

jimin was practically beaming with excitement, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

namjoon hopped up quickly, grabbing his luggage and the paper bag full of food.

"sorry," he said, giving his grandfather one last goodbye, and rushing over to the door.

jimin opened it wide for joon to walk out, about to follow him, before he stopped himself.

abandoning the door, he ran inside and gave sung-ha a big hug.

"we'll miss you out there," jimin said happily.

sung-ha smiled.

"don't worry about me, jimin. just have fun."

jimin smiled back, nodding.

"we will!" he said, running to the door, giving the man one last wave before he left.

-

"now boarding section b," said the man across the intercom.

namjoon and jimin had a long two hours of driving to the airport, going through bag check, doing security, and finding their terminal until they were finally about to board.

"joon, that's us!" jimin said, excitedly, pulling namjoon up from his seat.

the two quickly headed over to get into the boarding line, dragging their suitcases behind them.

once they were in line, jimin really couldn't stay still. he was bouncing a bit in place, being overwhelmingly excited. namjoon was obviously excited as well, but he was pretty good at staying calm. jimin, on the other hand, just grabbed namjoon's hand in his and squealed, his boarding pass being held tightly in his other hand. for once, namjoon was happy about how loud it was and the number of people in the airport with them, knowing the two would be getting a lot of strange looks if it was quieter.

namjoon and jimin continued talking, excitedly going over all the things they planned to do when they arrived in spain. and before they knew it, they were next in line to board the plane.

"we're next!" jimin said, looking over to joon, beaming.

namjoon nodded, a happy smile clearly shown on his face as well.

they got up to the front of the line and jimin quickly handed his boarding pass to the man who was checking them in.

"park jimin?" he asked, glancing across the ticket.

jimin nodded, "that's me."

the man behind the small counter looked distressed, causing jimin's smile to falter.

"what is it?" jimin asked, peeking over to get a look at the boarding pass.

"son..," he started, looking up at him, "do you realize this is a counterfeit ticket?"

jimin's eyes went wide and his lips parted.

"what?"

the man just looked up at him, with a sigh, then immediately breaking out into a laugh.

"i'm just pulling your leg, kid. have fun in spain," he said, with a wink.

jimin immediately stopped, just staring at the pass.

"kidding?" he asked, taking back the ticket as it was handed to him, "right..," he said, with a small forced laugh.

after the man looked at joon's ticket, the two headed onto the plane.

"kidding?" jimin questioned again, looking over to joon, "the man almost gave me a heart attack!"

namjoon laughed at him, bumping his shoulder into jimin's as they made their way slowly to the entrance of the plane.

"i think he picked up on how excited you are," joon said, with a laugh.

jimin shook his head.

"obviously i'm excited! i've never been out of korea before, joon. i've never even been on a plane in my entire life!"

"i know. i'm excited, too."

the two eventually made their way to the plane seats and sat down, preparing themselves for the long flight ahead of them.

-

"uh... just water, please," joon said.

"alright. and you, sir?"

"i'll have apple juice, please," jimin said, smiling at the flight attendant.

the flight attendant smiled back with a nod, heading to the next row of people.

the two boys were already about halfway through the flight- going on seven hours now. namjoon had managed to get through almost all of his mangas that he brought, while jimin was having much more fun chowing down on all the food that sung-ha had prepared for them while watching movies on the little airplane televisions and even taking some pictures of the sky from the windows view. the two had also spent a decent amount of time sleeping, hoping it would make the time go by a little faster.

"joonie," jimin said, taking out one of his earbuds and looking over to him.

namjoon was quiet, intently reading his book until he got to a good stopping point.

"yeah?" joon asked, finally looking up at him.

"you should watch one with me," jimin said, "they have all the new releases on here. didn't you want to see this one?" jimin asked, pointing to one of the new films that everyone was buzzing about back in korea.

"it's the one hyun bin stars in."

namjoon raised a brow, looking at the screen.

"what does it matter if hyun bin stars in it?"

jimin tried his best to keep a straight face, a small smile eventually forming, biting down on his bottom lip.

namjoon just shook his head.

"i don't want to watch it anymore," he said, holding back a smile, turning to his book.

jimin broke out into a laugh, a small blush on his cheeks.

"you can't deny he's handsome," jimin said.

namjoon had all his focus back on his book now, not listening to jimin anymore.

"oh come on," jimin pouted, "just watch it with me."

namjoon just peered over at him, a small smile on his face.

"you really have a crush on hyun bin?"

jimin shook his head, with another laugh.

"he was my childhood crush," jimin said, clearly getting amusement from namjoon's reaction, "i would have killed for him back then."

namjoon's brow's furrowed, thinking of jimin liking someone else.

"what about now?"

jimin shrugged his shoulders, teasing a bit.

"not sure. it's kind of hard to focus on anyone else when i have the most perfect man in the whole world right in front of me."

namjoon just rolled his eyes, laughing at his boyfriend.

"you really want me to watch that movie with you, huh?"

jimin just smiled, leaning up and giving him a quick peck.

"please watch it with me?" jimin whispered, his face only a few inches away from joon's.

namjoon just sighed.

"you can cover my eyes whenever hyun bin comes on, how about that?" jimin asked, inching closer, glancing down at his lips, then back to his eyes.

namjoon just laughed, leaning in and kissing jimin again, slower this time, love clearly laced in it.

"fine."
