JIMIN POV

We land smoothly at Sardy
Field at 12:25 p.m. (MST).

Stephan brings the plane to a halt a little way from the main terminal and through the windows I spot a large VW minivan waiting for us.

"Good landing." Jungkook grins and shakes Stephan's hand as we get ready to file out of the jet.

"It's all about the density altitude, sir." Stephan smiles back.

"Beighley here is good at
math."

He nods at Stephan's first
officer.

"You nailed it, Beighley."

"Smooth landing."

"Thank you, sir." She grins smugly.

"Enjoy your weekend, We'll
see you tomorrow."

Stephan steps aside to let us disembark and taking my hand, Jungkook leads me down the aircraft steps to where Taylor
is waiting by the vehicle.

"Minivan?" says Jungkook in surprise as Taylor slides open
the door.

Taylor gives him a tight, contrite smile and a slight shrug.

"Last minute, I know." Jungkook says, immediately placated.

Taylor returns to the plane to retrieve our luggage.

"Want to make out in the back
of the van?" Jungkook murmurs to me, a mischievous gleam in his eye.

I giggle.

Who is this man and what has
he done with Mr. Unbelievably Angry of the last couple of days?

"Come on, you two. Get in." Mia says from behind us, oozing impatience beside Jih.

We climb in, stagger to the double seat at the back and
sit down.

I snuggle against Jungkook
and he puts his arm around the back of my seat.

"Comfortable?" he murmurs as Mia and Jih take the seat in
front of us.

"Yes." I smile and he kisses
my forehead and for some unfathomable reason I feel
shy with him today.

Why? Last night?

Being with company?

I can't put my finger on it.

Hobi and Tae join us last as Taylor opens the liftgate to load the luggage.

Five minutes later, we are on
our way.

I gaze out the window as we head toward Aspen, The trees are green but a whisper of the coming fall is evident here and there in the yellowing tips of
the leaves.

The sky is a clear crystal blue, though there are darkening clouds to the west.

All around us in the distance loom the Rockies, the highest peak directly ahead.

They're lush and green and the highest are capped with snow and look like a child's drawing
of mountains.

We're in the winter playground
of the rich and famous and I
own a house here.

I can barely believe it and from deep within my psyche, the familiar unease that's always present when I try to wrap my head around Jungkook's wealth looms and taunts me, making
me feel guilty.

What have I done to deserve
this lifestyle?

I've done nothing, nothing except fall in love.

"Have you been to Aspen
before, Jimin?" Jih turns and asks, dragging me out of my reverie.
