You buckled your seatbelt and let out a quiet sigh, already preparing for hours in the air—until Yoonchae dropped into the seat beside you with a bright grin.

“Lucky you,” she said, nudging your arm. “You got the best seatmate.”

You smiled tiredly, head leaning against the window. “You better not steal my snacks this time.”

“One bag of chips, and suddenly I’m a thief?”

You rolled your eyes, and she giggled, pulling her blanket over both of you without asking. Her shoulder bumped into yours, warm and steady.

“Wake me up for food,” she mumbled, already getting comfortable.
