Just The Way Things Are||Jeon Jungkook FF

Chapter 1: Flight

   Part 1: Reality
Chloe's POV
  "I can't believe we're actually going to South Korea!" I squealed to my best friend Lauren as we stepped into the plane.

"I know, it doesn't seem real!" She answered. "And no parents, since we finally turned 18. Just a couple friendly tour guides."

"But I don't need them! I told you, I speak fluent Korean." I rolled my eyes as we shuffled forward when the line ahead of us began to dwindle.

"Yeah, I know, but I can't and I don't want you to show off and translate for me the whole time.

"Does that sound like something I would do?" I slightly turned my head so I could see Lauren. She gave me a look that said, "Do you really want me to answer that?"

We got close to our seats, so Lauren quickly stepped in front of me and sat in the window seat. Before I could protest, she giggled and said: "Too slow." I paused, but decided it wasn't worth it, and sat down.

Bing, bing! Bing, bing! A light flashed for us to fasten our seatbelts, and as it did, I could hear a chorus of clicking throughout the plane. Lauren and I did the same. We put our backpacks on the seat between us (thank goodness no one was sitting there) and I unzippered mine.

"How long have you had that backpack for, Chloe? I got mine just last week." She gestured to her Attack On Titan backpack and then to my pastel blue one.

"What? You know I love my stereotypical Tumblr colors," I laughed jokingly.

"Ugh." Lauren groaned sarcastically and looked out the window. "So cringey." I did the same. The buzz of the plane grew louder as I saw the ground rolling away. It quickened until it became a blur and lowered. We were off the ground and my eyelids couldn't stay up. Sleep.

  "Chips or pretzels?"

"Chips, please. Chloe. Chloe. Get up already! You missed the snack cart," Lauren kicked my leg annoyingly.

"But I don't want snacks..." I groggily replied.

"I don't care! If you don't- oh, thank you!" Her voice suddenly got sweeter and more cheerful in tone. "No, that's all. Thank you so much!" Lauren gave me another hard kick in the leg.

"I'm up, just stop kicking me!" I sat up and looked out the window. The ground was coming up quickly. "Wait. We're here? Already? How long did I sleep?"

"The entire flight." She popped a piece of gum in her mouth and handed me one.

"How could I have slept that long...?" I chewed the gum Lauren gave me and a burst of mint flavor flooded my mouth.

"I don't know. I can never sleep when I'm excited." She replied. A few minutes later we were off the plane and waiting to get our suitcases from the conveyor belt.

"OMG! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" I heard a girl scream, followed by clicking of what sounded like 1,000 cameras. I looked towards the doors to see a mob of people (mostly girls) filming something. As I looked closer, I realized it was BTS, coming off the plane and trying to get to their car.

"I just feel so awful! They're just people with jet lag who want to sleep away from these saesang fans." I turned to Lauren who was holding both of our bags. She handed me mine and nodded.

"You know I love them, but they really are human too. I don't think these people get that. Well, we should go: this might get out of hand." We were nearly out the door when I accidentally bumped into one of the girls filming.

"I'm sorry, excuse me." I said politely. I quickly looked around for Lauren, and saw she was pushed back by the fans and caught in the crowd.

"You better watch it! You'll ruin my shot!!" The girl shouted and rudely shoved me to the ground.

I blinked and looked up.

"A-are you okay?" A voice stuttered. As my vision cleared, the person pulled me up and I realized it was Jungkook.

"Yes, I am now. Thank you so much!" Jungkook looked down at the floor but not before I noticed he was blushing.

"No p-p-problem." He shyly nodded and rushed back to his car where the rest of Bangtan were waiting. Once they drove off, Lauren punched my arm.

"Hey! What was that?" I looked over at her annoyedly.

"Jungkook talked to you! The Jeon Jungkook helped you up and spoke to you. How are you not freaking out?!"

"Like you said, he's human too." I winked, while trying desperately to ignore my heart beating faster than it ever has before.
