"Okay, you must be crazy or we're just imagining. There's nothing else to it." Ian states beside me in surrender.

"What are you talking about?" I ask raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"How fast your cold went by! Two days ago, we saw you sick and ready to blow lots of snot out or even possibly head to the hospital." Derrick pops in behind us.

"So?" I ask.

They look at me before sighing while shaking their heads, "Nevermind."

As Derrick sits back down on the seat behind me, Ian just looks away out to the window. Shrugging, I place my headphones on my ears before bobbing my head to the music.

It's been two days since I saw my nightmare. Which was Lero and Maki dressing as females. Whenever I imagine them, I just get shudders. I wonder how their broad should and musular arms even fit the tight dresses. Not wanting to even remember more of that day, I just shake my head before leaning back on the comfortable seat on the airplane.

Today's Christmas, and we're spending half of it on a plane ride. Tomorrow is going to be our meeting with other international schools and everyone is nervous.

I wonder.

Will he be there.

Before I could let the smooth melody in my ears drag me to sleep, a baby's cry gets everyone to wake up. Maki who was beside me across the aisle groans in anger as his sleep had been in halt. Taking out my earphones, I look up from my seat to find a mother trying to calm her baby as passengers give annoying glares at her.

"That baby won't stop screaming any time soon. Looks like we'll have to try to ignore it for the whole plane ride." Ian sighs leaning back on his seat.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Maki growls as the girls were even worse.

"I need my beauty sleep!" Rika cries as I sigh unbuckling my seat belt.

"Octave?" Shiro asks as I walk towards the front to stand beside the baby.

The mother looks me with an apologizing face. Her condition was horrible as she had dark bags under her eyes and her fingers were cracked. I place a small reassuring smile before squatting down at the aisle. Caressing the baby's chubby cheeks, he stops crying looking at me in curiousity. Smiling, I stand up getting him ready to cry again, but I beat him first as I open my mouth with a soft quiet smooth melody.

Song: Silent night

(I'll add a video when I have Internet)

Before I knew it, the baby is sound asleep getting my smile to broaden. Passengers let out claps and cheers quiet enough not to wake the baby up getting me to blush a bit before walking back to my seat. But the song also got me slightly sleepy as I stumble a bit before reaching my seat.

Sitting on my seat, I instantly fall asleep with no care of the world. But without me noticing as I was drifting off, I was sitting on Maki's lap. He blushes finding me to sit on him as he stutters.

"Oc - Octa - Octave?" He asks.

"Shh." I reply not liking to be disturbed.

"Oc - " He starts.

"Shut."

Slap.

"Octave."

Slap.

"Oc - "

Slap.

"..."

Slap.

And that's when he shuts up completely as he stays silent with a red mark on his face. Silently, a few of them are laughing at Maki who's in frustration as others give looks of jealousy.

~~~~~

"I'm alive!" I scream planting myself to the ground before getting pick up by Lero.

"The ground is dirty." He states still holding me up in the air.

"Bu - But I miss it." I sniffle getting him to shake his head before grabbing both his and my suitcase with one hand and the other one still holding me up, "I can walk."

"No."

"But - "

"No."

"How ab - "

"No."

I stay quiet knowing if I try, it'll be a waste. Hanging in the air, eyes give us weird looks as I feel bored up here. Swinging, Lero still secures his grip on my strong shirt. Pouting, I look around the airport before my eyes land on a fake plane hanging from the roof. An idea pops up as I smile brightly. Stretching my arms out, I start pretending to be a plane.

"Vroooom." I try my best to make myself sound like a plane.

"Octave. Don't embarrass yourself." Lero states as the others chuckle or giggle behind us.

"Vrooooom!" I make the sounds louder just to go against him.

"Octave." He says in a warning voice.

"VROOOOOM!" I begin again before getting plant on the floor.

Rubbing my face from the pain Lero caused by throwing me down on the ground, I sulk.

"Mommy! Daddy is being a meanie!" I scream fake crying getting everyone to freeze.

"Shi - " I hear Lero cuss under his breathe.

Arions sigh before heading over to me and picking me up. I hug his neck as I pretend I'm crying.

"Arions is the Mommy?" Owen asks.

"Hey Mommy!" Derrick earns a glare from Arions getting thay triplet to be quiet.

As we start walking again, I peek out of Arion's shoulder to find Sung Gun looking down in depression.

It's been way too long since I've talked with him as the last time was when we were at the bench. During that time, was when he started to become depress and haven't even talked or given me a glance. Saddening from our change of relationship all of a sudden, I sigh.

What happened?

Walking outside the airport after getting our luggages, we had to separate into groups of five for each taxi. Instantly, I grab a hold of Sung Gun's hand before dragging him to the first taxi. He's in shock like everyone else as I push him inside the taxi with me following behind. Just when others were about to enter, I shut the door.

"Drive." I order in a slightly angry voice which frightens the driver as he just nods before driving off.

Crossing my arms as I look at the afraid Sung Gun, I give out a glare.

"Explain." I order.

"Explain wha - " he starts.

"Don't play dumb with me. Now tell me." I glare harder seeing him swallow his salvia, "If you still don't get it, I'm ordering you to explain why you've been distant with me."

"It's nothing." He replies which only earns him an even harder glare,"It's just - I - I lov - "

"Um - excuse me." The driver interrupts getting Sung Gun to blush, "you destination?"

Staring back at him as he stares back , I keep silent, "I don't know."

~~~~~

"Idiot! Don't run off without knowing where you're going!" Maki lectures hitting me head.

"I didn't exactly run, we were driving." I point out earning another punch on my head.

"It's the same thing!" He shouts before starting a lecture getting me to sulk.

"We're just glad that you're okay. Who knows what will happen to us if we didn't have you to be in the lead." Ian sighs in relief.

"Even so, you could have ask others if they could fill in." I reply back.

"None of us knows how to speak English. So we'll be screwed still." Hubert crosses his arms.

"Well, it's not my fault!" I pout before pointing at Sung Gun,"It's Sung Gun's fault! He's been ignoring me recently and I don't like it!"

All the attention turns to the quiet boy who then looks away blushing slightly.

"Why have you been ignoring her?" Naya softly asks getting him to blush even more.

He glances my way and sighs in defeat.

"Because of this." He says before heading towards me.

Lowering himself down to my height, he holds my chin up before connecting our lips. My eyes widen along with others watching this.

Sung Gun just kissed me?!
