[✔] crushed // ssg crown x skt faker

10 [e n d]

the rest of the flight was peaceful enough.

the members from both teams were all exhausted, and took their chance to have a good rest by sleeping in the airplane.

of course, everyone (except min-ho and sang-hyeok, of course) made sure to spam their phones with pictures of the two sleeping midlaners that were leaning on each other, before finally going to get some shut-eye.

the other passengers were quite thankful  for the silence too. it had felt quite weird watching sk telecom t1 and samsung galaxy fanboying over faker and crown's interactions.

it almost felt like the entire plane was being a third wheel.

after a few long hours, the flight attendant's loud announcement woke everyone up.

"attention to all passengers, we will be landing at seoul international airport in a few minutes. please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened. you may turn on your mobile phones and unfasten your seatbelt once the light with the seatbelt icon goes off..."

min-ho yawned and stretched, but only a little, since sang-hyeok was still leaning on him. the two midlaners eventually realized that they were already landing, and they'll have to part ways soon. sang-hyeok groaned a bit, then sat up, giving min-ho the freedom to move however he wants after a few hours of being sang-hyeok's "pillow".

"thanks for the shoulder," sang-hyeok commented playfully, and min-ho swore that he looked much better than he did when the plane first took off.

a good sleep really worked its wonders.

min-ho nodded in response, shyly replying with a, "you're welcome." he considered adding "you can lean on my shoulder anytime" but decided against it. he'd totally sound like a creep if he said that.

as the passengers slowly emptied the plane, the two teams stood up followed suit.

nothing much was said, except for a few suggestive coughs from jae-wan, and chan-yong "unintentionally" pushing min-ho so that he bumped into sang-hyeok.

min-seung and wang-ho, the two mischievous junglers only exchanged glances, ready to tease their hyungs if needed.

jae-hyuk and yong-in suddenly began quarrelling again when twice's "likey" was played in the airport. they bickered much like children, but they quickly shut up when jun-sik teased them saying that they were like an old married couple.

but really, nothing special happened. the two teams eventually parted ways as their respective buses arrived.

min-ho only managed to smile at sang-hyeok before sk telecom t1 left with their luggage.

...

once samsung galaxy stepped into their own bus, however, chaos began.

"oh my god, min-ho!" jae-hyuk dramatically faked a tear, "you finally grew some balls!"

yong-in quickly joined in. "you two were so cute!" he exclaimed, "my ship is definitely sailing!"

min-seung grinned widely. "i'm definitely not drunk right now but i think i'm gonna cry again..." he joked, pretending to sob.

chan-yong smirked. "j-just let me take care of you, okay, sang-hyeok ssi?" he winked as he mocked min-ho's stuttering, "that was the cutest, dorkiest shit i've ever seen, man. you're so fucking cheesy."

min-ho shook his head vigorously. "i-i..."

but there was no point to deny anything now, he was pretty sure the whole sk telecom t1 (except sang-hyeok), knew about his crush already.

he groaned loudly. "ugh, i hate all of you..."

seong-jin laughed. "aw, come on, min-ho! be thankful," he ruffled min-ho's hair, "at least you got to experience heaven, even if it was just a few hours..." he winked suggestively.

min-ho groaned again. "you're not helping..."

min-seung piped in, "anyway, you're welcome, hyung!"

min-ho glared at him. "you're just happy because you got to sit next to wang-ho."

this time it was min-seung's turn to be flustered. "h-hey it's not my fault that wang-ho's pretty cute, okay-"

"ooooooooh is that a new ship?"

"yah! hyung! stop it!!"

...

when they finally reached home, everyone was laughing like children. even the coach looked so done with them.

"great... now get some rest and get rid of the jet lag, training starts later at 8 p.m., got it?"

groaning at the mention of training, everyone reluctantly nodded.

geez, they just won worlds and came back from china a few hours ago, and now they have to train... again?

can't they have a decent one week holiday or something..?

but they knew they shouldn't take things easily just because they had won one championship. sk telecom has won three but they still train as hard as ever.

after some rest and refreshment, the team gathered at exactly 8 p.m. to start training.

nobody was particularly excited when they turned on their pc and logged on to league of legends.

except... min-ho.

why?
