Airports were breathing space in this sphere of transcience (Gimpo and Incheon held the promise of home, brief contact with solid ground and heart-roots before flying off again, wings tucked away during micro-eternities of luggage inspection and security frisking); planes respites from overwhelming adulation, airborne hideaways in the forest of clouds (dead asleep in first class, seats pushed back, limbs and hearts all over each other), and cars were couches where they sit back and see the world against the blur of everydays (because often they get stuck in the boxes of the here-and-nows of television broadcasts, photoshoots, and MV filming). In transit, lounging against leather seats of the company vehicle, Yoochun looked forward to seeing their dogs again, while Jaejoong thought about what to get for dinner, surely everyone would be starving by the time they get to wherever they were supposed to be at. Changmin dialled his mother's number for a quick hello, and Junsu planned to drop by his father's shop at the first free moment they'd get. Yunho allowed himself to relax, four familiar voices (constants) lulling him to sleep. This circle, five pairs of hands holding up the walls of their world, was the core of their existence, the rhythm of rush from here to there synced with the beating of their hearts.
