When Tae Met Haleh

Chapter 1: Kim Taehyung

This is the face the world has fallen in love with, yet for me I always find the imperfections.

He was thinking while looking in the mirror for the nth time. He was about to leave for his first solo tour and despite all the preparation, he wasn't prepared. And that dream last night...

No, I don't want to think about it.

He shook his head and returned his gaze to the mirror. The white t-shirt with grey hooded jacket was a good airport look with casual blue jeans. His designer had specifically picked this one as it was spring season and he didn't want to end up feeling too hot.

His team quickly placed all his luggage in the car and he was rushed to the airport. It was a long way to go so, he closed his eyes and that red scarf came flying right in front of his eyes. He jerked open his eyes and looked around. He may had fallen asleep. The last few days were gruesome as he didn't get enough sleep due to all the practice and stress of upcoming performance.

He took out his phone to text Jungkook about what he saw the other night.

"You're just thinking it over Hyung, just forget about it and focus on your tour." He replied.

Taehyung released a deep sigh and stuffed his phone back in his pocket. Why had he been seeing that red scarf? He never owned one, neither he knew of seeing anyone wearing such a thing.

"We have reached the airport sir, there is a lot of press around so we need to be quick." One of his security guard confirmed him of the situation he had gotten so used to of by now. It just felt like yesterday when he had joined the band and they were dying to get some press coverage and now they are fighting to get some sort of privacy for their own peace of mind without the privy eyes.

Time had changed. He thought and got out of the car. Suddenly a swarm of reporters was there and his security team kept making place for him to walk. All the flashes around him were making it hard to see where he needed to head. Thankfully one of his security members escorted him towards the entrance.

As soon as he was boarded on the plane, he knew he wanted to drift off to sleep. He closed his eyes and fell into the blissful arms of dreams, red scarf or not!

Someone wearing a beautiful silk red scarf over their head was standing there in the concert. He couldn't see the face, there were so many, but despite it all he could sense that person around him. He was trying to see the face but it felt like it was nothing but blurred in his memories. He wanted just one look to know who that was. He tried reaching out near the audience but he wasn't allowed to interact this much closely with the audiences until the fan signing. He couldn't risk losing that person. Not when they were right in front of his eyes yet not reachable.

His eyes flew open! Another dream.

He looked around and rubbed his face in frustration. Good news they were about to land. Bad news that he was still exhausted. Despite such a long journey, he felt like he didn't sleep at all. He referred back to his schedule of tour and how many performances were there in the upcoming week. He was starting his tour from the Asian countries. His travel started from Indonesia, Thailand, India, Pakistan from where he would travel to middle east all the way to UAE, to Turkey. Reading so many destinations was giving him a headache of his life. He was excited for all meeting all the ARMYs there because this was the first time he was going to interact with so many people all on his own. But deep down he was scared and sad too. He wished they could come as the whole band with RM's guidance and Jimin's playful quirks, he knew it wouldn't have felt so lonely. He sighed. Sooner or later he had to do it. All the other senior members enlisting to military had put them on hiatus. He wondered when they'll be back together how thing would then be. He was deep in thought when there was the announcement of plane being landed. He was ready to rock it as he always does.
