The Dreaming Of Escape !! (Jikook) chapter 3

Author :- Hello everyone 👋🏻😊 How are you all ??

let's not waste any time nd jump in the story... let's Go Go Go ...😂😂

Jungkook (photographer)

“Oh, cool. Okay. Hi. I think I’m in this seat.”

Author:- Jimin glanced up from his phone slowly and look at the person hovering over him, clearly his new seat mate. Typically, Jimin just stood up and let the person by without a word, sometimes without even looking up from his phone or cutting off his music. But this time, he just stared.

Author:- The man standing in the aisle shifting awkwardly from one foot to the other was young in the face and tall, almost all legs. His eyes were round and full of one-shot stories every time he blinked. He was wearing black sweatpants and a large black hooded sweatshirt, but his hair was a shocking shade of cherry red underneath the hood, which was halfway on his head. When Jimin glanced at about eye level, he saw a bunch of small little tattoos on his right hand that he couldn’t quite make out. The guy had had a black backpack slung over one shoulder.

Jungkook (photographer)

“This is 4-B, right? I mean, um, you’re 4-A, so… yeah,”

Author:- He said with a pleasant smile, and then he held up his ticket literally to eye level and read it over, his eyes converging and flicking left to right quickly. He lowered the ticket and looked at Jimin expectantly, like Jimin held all the answers to the questions of the universe. Jimin just stood up, beckoned, and let the guy through. The guy shrugged out of his backpack and held it up over his head so he didn’t whack Jimin with it, and then he collapsed into the seat heavily and dropped the backpack onto the floor with a hollow thud.

Author:- Ignore the rest of the things..just think they're sitting beside eachother..

Jungkook (photographer)

“Ah, wow,”**he whispered, shoving up the window shade with the outside edge of his pointer finger and peering out.**

Author :- Jimin glanced in his peripheral field at his new seat mate, wondering what kind of fuckery he was about to deal with for two hours. This guy had his iPhone out, and he was taking pictures of the airport scenery on a stationary plane out the window like it was a tourist attraction.

Jungkook (photographer)

“Ooh,” (the guy breathed, looking at all the button options with wide doe eyes full of excitement. He reached out his tattooed hand to press like a tempted child, but then he retracted it, bottom lip between his teeth. He reached out again. Retracted again, hand forming a fist. Then he gave up and cracked his knuckles, sitting back in his seat.)

Jungkook (photographer)

Jimin (CEO)

“First time on a plane?” Jimin cracked sarcastically in a monotone voice, still scrolling through all of the e-mails he was going to blatantly ignore.

Jungkook (photographer)

“Yeah. I’m kind of nervous. I don’t know how any of this works.

Author Jimin immediately dropped his phone into his lap and whipped his head over to look at the guy. A fucking first-time flyer. Did the universe hate him? Had he done something wrong? Was this karma for sending Kyungwan to his morning meeting?

Jungkook (photographer)

“Do you fly a lot? I have so many questions,” the guy said with round eyes, and Jimin gave him a weary look.

Jimin (CEO)

🤨😕

Jungkook (photographer)

“Mostly so I don’t have to think about how the plane stays in the air. Like, do we get snacks on a two-hour flight? Is the landing rough? Are my ears going to pop? What are all these buttons for? And if I have to go to the bathroom, is it okay if I step by you? Am I even allowed to go to the bathroom on this plane?”

Jimin (CEO)

“I’ll pay you to stop talking,” Jimin sighed.

Jungkook (photographer)

“Sorry,” the guy apologized immediately with a barely perceptible bow of his head.

Jungkook (photographer)

Um, I’m Jeongguk. I’m—I just don’t really know what’s about to happen so—well, yeah. I’m sorry. Hi.”😄😅

Jimin (CEO)

“Yeah, hi,” Jimin said with a short laugh, and he glanced down to see that Jeongguk had extended his tattooed hand, his left hand supporting near his wrist in a show of respect.

Jimin (CEO)

Jimin swallowed his pride and accepted the handshake. “I’m Jimin. Nice to meet you.”😄

Jungkook (photographer)

“Do you fly a lot?”

Jimin (CEO)

“Constantly.”

Jungkook (photographer)

“Oh, okay. So you’re a professional flyer and I’m the rookie. I’m really sorry. I’ve never been on a plane before, so I don’t even know if I’ll like it,” Jeongguk admitted. “My mom says I’ll be fine, but she’s my mom. She has to say that kind of stuff."

Jimin (CEO)

“I think you’ll be fine, too. You just headed to Shanghai?”

Jungkook (photographer)

“No, um, I’m going to Los Angeles,” Jeongguk said, shifting a little in his seat, still clutching his phone in his tattooed hand. “For a job. Are you going to L.A., too? I even don’t know how to connect to a different flight. I’m afraid I’m going to get lost or stranded.”

Jimin (CEO)

“Yeah, I’m going through to L.A.,” Jimin said, trying to keep his voice even. “You won’t get lost. It’s not that difficult.”

Jungkook (photographer)

“Easy for you to say,” Jeongguk said with a small frown, his brow furrowing.

Author Then he slipped off his hood with a single hand and ruffled his cherry hair with the other, and Jimin took a good look at him. He was goddamn cute, looked cozy and warm. But Jimin’s lonely mind always liked to consider other looks like he was mentally visualizing a virtual closet of possibilities, so he pictured Jeongguk all dolled up in a Gucci or Brioni or Tom Ford suit, and that was when he mentally cursed himself out. Wearing a suit with that hair and that bone structure and that pretty face? A downright sin. Jimin’s deeply hidden inner fashionista was drooling.

Author An announcement interrupted the small talk—the captain introducing himself, welcoming everyone aboard, talking about the flight time to Shanghai and the weather conditions, asking the last passengers to board quickly so they could make their takeoff time promptly. It was then that Jimin noticed the way that Jeongguk gripped the wide armrest of the seat and peered out the window worriedly.

Jimin (CEO)

“How old are you?” Jimin asked.

Jungkook (photographer)

“Twenty-three,” Jeongguk said, still staring out the window, bent slightly so he could see everything that was going on. Perhaps he was about to blossom as nervous flyer right before Jimin’s unwilling eyes. He seemed fixated on the luggage that was being loaded onto the plane, eyes narrowed like he was looking for something very specific.

Jimin (CEO)

“Why are you going to Los Angeles?” Jimin asked another question in hopes of quelling his nerves, or at the very least distracting him. Luckily, Jeongguk turned away from the window and offered Jimin his full attention.

Jungkook (photographer)

“I’m a photographer,” he said. “A professional photographer. I normally do most of my work around Seoul because that’s where I’ve built my clientele, you know? But I got hired to do a pretty big job in L.A. for this huge company, so I took it. They bought my plane ticket, gave me a first class seat. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and everything. So, like, I can’t even talk about the job to anyone.”

Jimin (CEO)

“Sounds intense.”

Jungkook (photographer)

“I feel like it’s going to make or break my career,” Jeongguk said, chewing his lower lip nervously. “But, I mean, if I didn’t take the opportunity, I would’ve regretted it, you know? It’s not my usual work. Um, I do more artistic stuff. This is more… official, I guess. But I do fashion photography mostly. So this is kind of new—oh, God, they just closed the door.”

Author Jeongguk peered upward, noticing that the main door had just been sealed shut, meaning the plane was about to push back for takeoff. Jimin sat back in his seat to relax, making sure his seatbelt was fastened. Jeongguk had fastened his seatbelt the second he had sat down, safety first. The flight attendants started to stroll up and down the aisles of first class to check on their top-paying and most trusted passengers.

Flight attendant “Ready for takeoff, Mr. Park?” the kind woman asked with a smile and a small bow.

Jimin (CEO)

“All good,” Jimin confirmed.

Flight attendant “Ready for takeoff, Mr. Jeon?”

Jungkook (photographer)

“Huh?” Jeongguk whipped his head over, his face a bit pale. “Um, yeah. Yeah, is this—this is safe, right?”

Flight attendant Very safe, Mr. Jeon. Please let me know if there’s anything we can get for you,” the flight attendant said kindly with another little bow, and then she moved to the next seats.

Author :- Jimin glanced over at Jeongguk, and then he sat up a little straighter.

Jimin (CEO)

“Um, are you okay?” Jimin asked, suddenly on high alert.

Author :- Jeongguk was fidgeting persistently, glancing around the plane and out the window, unable to keep himself still. He was rubbing the tops of his fingernails together, one of his knees shaking incessantly, eyes fixated on the window.

Jungkook (photographer)

“Me? Yeah, I’m fine,” Jeongguk said, but his voice was a bit strained.

Jimin (CEO)

“How about I answer all your questions, then?” Jimin offered,

Author :- Crossing his legs at the knee and leaning one elbow on the center armrest. Jeongguk took a deep breath and glanced over at Jimin.

Jimin (CEO)

“Planes stay in the air because of straight up physics. Lift and thrust and all that. We get snacks and drinks in first class in the first half of the flight. The landing isn’t that rough, you’ll be fine. Your ears might pop, but it’s not that painful unless you have inner ear problems. All of those buttons are to turn on lights and call a flight attendant over, shit like that. You have plenty of room to get past me to go to the bathroom, and yes, you can go once the seatbelt sign turns off.”

Jungkook (photographer)

“…Oh.”😯

Jimin (CEO)

“Oh,” Jimin said with a small laugh, trying not to roll his eyes because he could feel the panic seeping out of Jeongguk’s pores like bad energy swirling through the air, ready to suffocate anyone nearby.

Jimin (CEO)

“Why do you keep looking out the window?”

Jungkook (photographer)

“I was just—” Jeongguk whipped his head over to look one more time, and then he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose momentarily. “I had an issues with my camera bag. Security and I didn’t really see eye-to-eye about it. Took me fucking ages to get through the checkpoint. I just—I checked all of it because the bag was too big for a carry-on, right? And I just don’t want them to fuck anything up. I put my entire life savings into my equipment.”

Jimin (CEO)

“I think you’ll be okay. Besides, if they damage your equipment, just sue them,” Jimin said with a shrug. “I’m sure you’d have a reasonable case.”

Jungkook (photographer)

Suing sounds like a lot of work—are we moving backwards?” Jeongguk nearly exclaimed when the plane shuddered just a little and began to back up.

Jimin (CEO)

“Well, yeah. It was either that or run the plane straight into the terminal. Which one do you prefer?” Jimin asked, settling back into his seat and trying not to laugh. Twenty-three years alive and this poor guy was skittish as hell over a plane in reverse.

Jungkook (photographer)

Wh—oh. Yeah, okay,” Jeongguk said hastily

Author :- When Jimin readjusted his AirPods and settled in, ready to assume his usual in-flight routine that came complete with a playlist of choice. The plane backed up further as the safety briefing began to play, but Jimin listened to music the entire way through, his eyes closed, head back to hopefully get a little bit of rest. The plane began to cruise down the runway towards takeoff, and Jimin sniffed and ruffled his dark hair tiredly. Then he opened his eyes and turned to glance out the window at the plane began to pick up speed. 🛫🛫🛫🛫✈️✈️✈️✈️
