As Heeseung stepped off the plane, the weight of his travels clinging to him like an unwanted shadow, annoyance flickered across his features. The hustle and bustle of the airport only exacerbated his mood, but as he caught sight of his friends waiting for him from afar, his irritation melted away, replaced by a genuine smile.

Approaching his friends, Heeseung was enveloped in a flurry of hugs from Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, and Ni-ki. Their warmth washed over him, erasing the weariness of his journey and filling him with a sense of belonging.

As they chatted animatedly amidst the chaos of the airport, Heeseung's eyes caught sight of a lone figure lingering nearby, watching them with a curious gaze. "Who's this?" Heeseung inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Sunoo, a radiant smile adorning his face, stepped forward, introduced by Jake. "He's Sunoo, he joined our friend group about five months ago," Jake explained. "You've been missing from our group chat since you left for New York."

Realization dawned on Heeseung as he scratched his head, guilt creeping in at the thought of neglecting his friends. Thousands of unread messages awaited him, a testament to his absence.

Heeseung waved a hand in greeting as Sunoo approached, his smile genuine as he extended a friendly welcome. "Hi! I'm Sunoo. It's nice to meet you, Heeseung, right? Well, they're right, you're really good-looking in person," Sunoo exclaimed, his words accompanied by a teasing smirk.

Heeseung's smirk mirrored Sunoo's as he glanced at his friends. "Seems like I've made quite the impression," he quipped, the banter between friends easing the tension of their reunion.
