Hiraeth - BTS (reverse harem)

Chpt. 22

Ara's POV

We had quickly checked into the airport. I checked the boys in and made sure to keep a hoodie and loose sweats. Completely covering my whole body, making myself look to see as a staff but not a woman. Glasses, hoodie, sweats, sneakers, masks, backpack. I went back to the private waiting area away from public. We quickly waited until a flight attendant came notifying us they will be boarding.
We quickly followed the flight attendant but we did have to pass public halls so the fans were lined up. I moved next to the security guards away from the boys to avoid any problems. Nobody noticed anything which I was grateful for.
I kept behind everyone and entered last. Once we boarded I removed my glasses and hoodie down. I got to the flight attendant at the door.
"This way ma'am" she pointed to the other side.
"Oh no I'm sorry I'm at first class..." I said grabbing my bag.
"No ma'am I do apologize first class is privately reserved" She smiled
"I know ma'am I'm the one...who reserved it" I said pulling out my paper with the reservations and all the members tickets.
"O-oh I'm so sorry ma'am" She dipped her head. I waved her off "no worries at all, thank you for your security measures" I smiled at her and walked the opposite way of where she was showing me.
I passed the curtain to see the boys placing their bags above.
"Ara where were you?" Jin said quickly trying to get out of the seat.
"I was just walking a little behind security to avoid any problems and the flight attendant wasn't letting me in but I showed her the papers hahah" I giggled.
"Ahh...I turned around and you weren't there anymore" he said shoving my shoulder playfully.
"Sorry sorry, I forgot to tell you where I go" I laughed and his ears turned red.
"A-anii...I just lost you back there for a moment" his neck was slowly turning red with his cheeks. I giggled and waved him off. I saw an empty seat in the back and went to put my tote and backpack at the top compartment. I opened the compartment and was able to fling my tote into there since it was a bit high, but my duffel bag was longer so...I turned to see who was available.
"Jimin oppa..." I called out since he was in the seat next to me.
He quickly removed his earbud and looked over to me.
"Can you help..." I said lifting my tote and he smiled and got up without speaking a word. He's such a sweet soul.
He carefully put my tote at the top. I was under the compartment infront of my seat and he was in the isle next to my seat closing the compartment. His hands lifted up as he closed the compartment door.
"Thank you..." I said and he quickly looked down at me and dropped his arms. He looked at me...with his smile.
I don't know...what it was about his stare that made me advert my eye contact.

I looked off to the side and had a small giggle fit.
"What's so funny?" He leaned in trying to catch my eyes.
"A-Ahh I...I need to use the restroom" I randomly said and quickly scooted through the space that was available lightly brushing my body against his to go to the back. I quickly made my way behind the door and closed it.
"Jesus..." I ran a hand through my hair...is it just me or does the vibes just feel like they shifted, not negatively but...I don't even know myself.
'Okay..okay let's calm ourselves the convo earlier was not a reason for me to begin to act uncomfortably it was for me to feel comfortable so just go with the flow...Ara...go with the flow' I mentally told myself. I feel like I may be looking at the boys differently like a different perspective...I'm noticing features and characteristics, that make me feel light. I personally think I shouldn't...but I don't want to push them away either. I rubbed my face with some water and dried it. I fixed my few baby hairs and removed my oversized hoodie finally leaving me in my long sleeve. I left the restroom and went back to my seat. The boys were all in they seats.
"Ara are they going to give food?" Taehyung asked and I nodded to him earning a boxy smile.
"Do you want to watch a movie" he asked
"Taehyung-ah stop yelling...I want to sleep" Suga groaned from infront of me.
"Maybe later" I whispered and he frowned sending a glance at Suga before fixing his seat to make it a bed. Before sitting down I did a headcount to make sure everyone was within my range.
I counted seven and sat down. I quickly felt my eyes become heavy. I fixed the seat and opened the bed. I laid down and quickly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up a few minutes later I was not that comfortable, but the boys were long asleep. I look at the time and it's 4am.
The plane is dark the lights are off. I sat on my makeshift bed. I grabbed my phone and scrolled.

*Sejin 3 missed calls*
*Sejin 7 messages*
"Shit..." my own raspy voice made me jump a little since it was so quiet. I hope the boys have their ear plugs.
*ring ring*
I placed the phone against my ear.
"Ara?" He quickly answered when I returned the call.
"Sejin oppa sorry I didn't see your calls I feel asleep on the plane" I said and he sighed loudly.
"Thank goodness I was worried, cause no one was answering but I'm glad you all are own the plane heading over already" He spoke.
"Yes the boys are asleep I'm sure they're going to sleep through the night" I said I looked over but I just noticed jimin isn't asleep. His phone brightness is just very low. Has he been awake this whole time.
"Just be careful with Jimin and Taehyung who tend to experience motion sickness the most, but is Taehyung is asleep he will be okay" Sejin said and it clicked.
" I'll make sure to keep the boys comfortable don't worry, we're just gonna be at LA for the two days of shooting and leave on the 3 day" I reassured him.
"I really appreciate it Ara, thank you"
"No problem at all if you want to check up just shoot me a call oppa" I whispered and he chuckled
"I will make sure to answer the first time" he laughed and I chuckled lightly causing jimin to look over.
" I will bye oppa" I said and quickly hung up to not wake up the boys.
"You're awake?" I whispered to Jimin.
The layout of the first class we reserved was 8 seats by two in rows.

Jimin was next to me, infront was Suga and V then Jungkook and Jhope them RM and Jin.
He nodded to me.
"Are you feeling okay?" I asked him and he did a 'so-so' gesture with his hand.
"What are you feeling?" I asked getting up from my seat and squatting next to his seat as he began to slowly sit up.
"I feel nauseous.." he mumbled his face was slightly puffy.
"You want some meds, I have some Dramamine but it'll make you sleepy" I said placing my palm against his cheek then forehead to make sure he's not catching a fever. He looked so fragile. He looked so upset and down. I wanted to keep my palm against his cheek longer.
He looked over at me.
"What's that.." he mumbled looking at me. My heart melted at his voice.
"Its a small little pill that will help you with your nausea and help you relax and it will make you sleepy so you can rest" I explained and he nodded.
I quickly went and stood on the makeshift bed and did a small jump to open the compartment and another jump to grab my duffel bag. I struggled but got the duffle bag off. I used my flash and opened my bag. I got the case filled with meds.
I got one little pill and checked if he had water with him which he did.
I neared him.
"Here oppa...take the meds" I handed him the pill and he quickly swallowed the pill. He nodded and drank more water.
"Alright let me know if you don't feel any better yes" I said and turned to walk away yet I was held back.
I turned to Jimin who had a grip on the end of my shirt.
"What's wrong?" I said and he shifted and moved.
"You want me to sit?" I asked and he nodded. I didn't want to ask questions, he probably just needed company. Plus I couldn't say no to him specially now. I sat down on the makeshift bed with my back leaning against the wall and he shifted once again and go into a fetus like position resting his head on my legs.
"Better.." he mumble in his sleepy voice. I hesitantly laid my hand on his shoulder and another on his head. My grandfather would always calm me down like this causing me to drift to sleep.
I began to caress from his shoulder down to his elbow, lightly and gently. My grandfather always said we should pass good energy to others if we wish for them to feel better and if we wish to do so a gentle touch is enough.
My other hand with my nails lightly and gently grazing his scalp playing with his hair. Running my hand through his hair. Within the next ten minutes his breathing was even. He was asleep for sure, and I was getting sleepy myself, but I wouldn't dare to move him. He seems so at peace, he has probably been awake since we got in the plane and I slept not aware he was feeling like this.
I laid my head back against the wall and closed my eyes.
