Our pillow fight was interrupted when the manager came in with the makeup crew and asked the boys to be seated. They all started to run towards empty chairs, as the makeup artists laid down their materials.
"Can I help?" I asked the head, who shook his head no. He didn't say anything further, and simply walked away. I was hurt, yes, but I chose not to let it faze my smile. I sat on the edge of the bed as the room got busier with each passing minute. I saw Taehyung smiling at me from afar, and I simply waved back.
I still cannot believe that the things that had happened in the past hours did really happen. I clutched onto my bag, and shuffled my feet with boredom filling my brain.
"Can you move?" Jenna asked me, politely, but with a hint of impatience in her voice. They were busy so I didn't bother. I quietly got up and walked over to sit on the sofa beside Taehyung's chair. I don't know why, but I had this urge to kiss him. And run my fingers through his thick hair, and sit on his lap. Fuck my horny wild spirit.
Taehyung suddenly looked at me as if I'd called out his name, his eyes roamed over my face, stopping at my....nose? Lips. LIPS. Lips.
Did he feel like kissing me too? I felt extremely overwhelmed under his gaze. My heart was racing and there was a sort of electricity running through my body. He smiled a little, before closing his eyes as Glinda started to dust off the loose powder, he didn't want to repeat the previous incident.
When the clock struck 7, everyone scurried out like rats. I did too, because the manager wanted to brief up the boys about something. It wasn't a big event, the Tokyo concert, but it was definitely important.
"No matter what, keep smiling." I heard him say, before we all walked out.

It wasn't as dreadful as the last time, when we arrived the airport. It was easy for us to walk through the crowd, and into the boarding area. The crew members and important people were separated by the boundaries of class. I was about to sit down when an air hostess took my bag from my hands.
"This way ma'am", she said, giving me a generous smile as I followed her unquestionably. I was led to the business class and my eyes met with Taehyung's. He jumped towards me and embraced me with his big hands in a warm hug. My hands were hanging dead at my sides as I tried to breathe.
When did we get this attached?
"You sit...with me." He said, smacking Jungkook's head, who moved out of his seat while groaning and Taehyung directed to me replace his figure. He sat across me, as I looked around to see the boys giggling like teenagers and teasing Taehyung. Tae, who wasn't really paying attention to them. He was staring at me, as if he'd look away and I'd disappear or something. He reached out his hand on the table, and I thought of doing the same.
I quickly grabbed onto his beautiful long fingers as if he'd it retreat if I would not hurry. The smile in his eyes was so prominent, more than the ones on his lips. It was genuine. As if he really was happy. He was, right?
I don't know how, but I dozed off as the lights slowly dimmed down above us.

Narrator's POV-
It was difficult for Taehyung to keep his eyes off of her. She felt like the first spring he's ever seen, after living in the cold all this while. It was different this time. But he thinks every girl is different.
Taehyung is a person who never dates thinking that it will only be a fling. He wishes to have the forever. But the breakups that happen are an agreement because of a lot reasons, and he doesn't blame the girl. Some of them simply fall out of love, others find him too childish, although they adored his cuteness in the beginning. Rest did not like the life he led, as an idol. With restrictions, and secrets, and prevention from apparent scandals. He was really hoping Nia would be different. She was his first, she had to be.
First, non-Korean girlfriend. Although he'd dated a Japanese girl, but she kissed him goodbye when she realised they could not have a decent conversation. He'd learnt Japanese for her, but she left before he could perfect it. He would try his best to improve his English now, hopefully Nia wouldn't mind his slow learning. Between tight schedules, dance practices, fan meets, talking with managers and producers, singing, concerts, he was certain he'd find at least some time to learn English.
Nia shifted in her seat uncomfortably as her head fell to the open side of the seat, rather than the window. Taehyung was quick to hold her head up as she snored lightly and he couldn't help but laugh.
"She's so pretty" he said, wiping the drool from her face with a tissue. "Yes, Mr. Lovestruck." Jimin teased him, as Taehyung's cheeks flushed the brightest red. He was a easy person to fall in love with someone. And it was easy for people to take a liking in him too, he was charming. But never enough. They always grew out of love, and he was still trying to find how that was even possible. All he could do was find more reasons to love the person beside him every day.
He slowly walked over to Nia and picked her in his arms. She was heavier than he thought, and he loved how healthy she was. His previous girlfriend went anorexic thinking the media wouldn't like the meat on her thighs. No matter how much he tried to feed her, she never did. She then broke up with him because he nagged too much. He placed Nia on one of the longer seats and pulled it back a little bit so that the chair was now leaning comfortably. He was about to go back to his own seat, passing through all the sleeping boys except Jimin. Suddenly, he felt Nia tug on the hem of his sleeves. He turned around to see that she had extended both her hands out and was indicating him to hug her. He embraced her small figure in his big arms and tried to sleep beside her. When his ass was hanging out of the seat for longer than he expected, he got up before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. She smiled and turned towards the other side hugging herself tightly.
He was quick to fall in love.
Had that happened already?

I hope you don't mind me putting in too much TaeNia
The picture shows how Taehyung looked at Nia. 😭
