Stay - Yang Jungwon 양 정원

I inclined my head to the last flight attendant as I made my way off the flight.  I gripped my backpack tightly as I looked around.  My flight wasn't posted at all on any scheduling nor did I make any posts.  So hopefully there won't be a mob. 

After a second or two of standing like a lost idiot, I found my manager who waved me over.  "How was your flight, Chaeri?" He asked grabbing my bag before I could argue as we exited the gate's seating area

I grinned, "It was great.  Thanks for the last minute booking." I grabbed my water bottle from the side pocket and took of my mask to take a sip. 

Just then I heard nearby gasps.  I whipped my head around and saw two teenage girls that were staring at me.  "Oh?  Are you Enhypen Chaeri?" One of them asked, leaning forward eagerly.  The other was already pulling out her camera.

I glanced at my manager nervously and he answered for me. "She's on a private schedule right now.  No pictures." He said, glaring at the girl with the phone.

The girls seemed awfully disappointed and I felt a little bad. "Could we have an autograph though?" The first girl asked quietly. 

My manager looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I nodded, "Sure, but if you have a pen for me to sign with." I chuckled.

The two girls ended up being very sweet. We chatted for a bit and I let them take a selfie before I got dragged away by my manager. "You can't give into every fan you see, Chaerin." He reminded me sternly.

I just shrugged, "They're my fans." I pointed out earning a tired sigh. I smiled to myself knowing I won.  We had finally gotten to the car and I was beyond excited to see the guys again.  Maybe Jungwon.  But that was a small detail.  The drive to Hybe from the airport was pretty long, so I just took a nap in the car.  And when I woke up, we were in the parking garage.

"Hi everyone," I waved my hand to the camera that my manager was holding for me. "So we're back at Hybe!  I'm really excited, personally.  It feels like forever since I saw everyone." I said with a nervous laugh.

I made small talk with the camera a bit more as we went up the elevator and through the halls of the Hybe Building.

Eventually we made it to the artist floor. And we found the right practice room when I heard our upcoming song on the speakers. Full blast.

"And we're here!" I whispered. Not that they could probably hear me. "Honestly I don't want to wait any longer. I mean this suspense is starting to get to me." I chuckled nervously. "Honestly not that big of a deal I'm here. But surprise nonetheless." I said before putting my hand on the door handle.

The music got louder once I opened the door. And I saw Jungwon, Sunoo, and Jake practicing in the mirror. They didn't immediately notice me. So I just stood there silently until Jungwon stopped abruptly and he gasped, causing the others to turn around.

"What the fuck?" Jake screamed, putting his hands on top of his head while Sunoo just stared at me.

"So, I came home early." I shrugged.

"You're back!" Jungwon yelled before running towards me. I screamed when he picked me up in a hug and quite literally ran around the practice room with me in his arms. "I missed you." He muttered over and over again, pressing his lips against mine between each one.

"Hi to you too." I answered once he set me down again, kissing his cheek. 

Jungwon suddenly got pushed over and I laughed when Sunoo dramatically flourished his arms, "Yah!  Jungwon-ah she was my friend before your girlfriend.  Scoot!" Sunoo turned to me with a bright grin, "Hi, Chae!" I chuckled hearing Jungwon grumble some incoherent things as Sunoo hugged me.

"Why are you back so early?" Jake asked, dabbing me up before hugging me as well.

I hummed as Jungwon made his way to my side again and wrapped his arms around my waist, "I just wanted to come back home... I missed you guys," I said reluctantly.  They'd never let me live it down. 

Jungwon muttered something into my neck, "Especially me?"

"Especially you." I agreed, bringing my hand up and messing with his hair.

"Okay, practice is over.  Let's go home." Jungwon suddenly decided.

"Sure lover boy." Jake snorted as Sunoo shook his head in disappointment.  Saying something about favortism.

"Glad I'm back?" I asked, turning to Jungwon as the other two went to pack up. 

Jungwon cupped my fave and kissed my forehead, "You have no idea, love." He mumbled before hugging me again. 

[a/n HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNGWON!! EEEEEEEE HES ALL GROWN UP!  Being an Enhypen Stan since debut is amazing but also a little sad 🤧 I remember when Jungwon was dressed up as a sheep on I-land]
