Jeju Fever | #yoonmin

15

When they arrive at the airport Jimin and Hoseok say their goodbyes and promise to meet each other again some time, either in Jeju or Busan. Jimin walks into the departure hall and thinks about the conversation he had with Hoseok. Being able to put his thoughts into actual words like that really helped. Is this what therapy would feel like? Maybe I should give that a go once I'm back home...

Once Jimin has made his way to the gate, he sits down with a big sigh and starts scrolling through his instagram. He wonders if Yoongi has an Instagram account... He searches for 'Min Yoongi' and 'Shooky's Shack', but nothing really comes up that looks like it might be him. He doesn't really seem like the type to be super into Instagram anyway, and if he does have an account he probably has some obscure username which makes it impossible for people to find him. Only about 5 minutes go by until there's an announcement about his flight.

"This is an announcement for passengers of Air Busan flight BX8106 to Busan Gimhae Airport, unfortunately there will be a delay of 30 minutes, this is due to bad weather. We apologise for the inconvenience."

Jimin rolls his eyes after the announcement. Ugh, great. I really have such good luck on this trip. Oh well, 30 minutes is not so bad. At least I'll have some time to eat something now. Jimin stands up and makes his way to the little kiosk to buy some ramyeon. He feels a sting in his heart when he's reminded of when Yoongi made him ramyeon at the cafe. So Hoseok thought he already liked Jimin back then? Now that he thinks about it, it could be possible... but, nah, he was probably just being a good host.

"This is an announcement for passengers of Air Busan flight BX8106 to Busan Gimhae AirPort, unfortunately the flight will be delayed by a total of one hour, this is still due to the continued bad weather. We apologise for the inconvenience."

An hour? Okay, still, could be worse. Jimin finishes his ramyeon and makes his way back to the gate. Now he wishes he had brought his laptop so he could maybe already edit some photos, that would at least keep his mind off of things... Instead, Jimin decides to watch some videos on his phone, so he puts his headphones in and slouches down in his uncomfortable chair. His leg is shaking. He's secretly hoping the entire flight gets cancelled, but... that probably won't happen. What would he do then anyway? It's not like he has a place to stay, he can't just show up at Yoongi's. Although his daydreams are taking him there now, completely not focussing on the video playing on his phone. Would Yoongi be happy to see him...? Jimin wonders what he would say to Yoongi if he saw him again tonight. He really wants to tell him how he feels, but he's afraid that it's too soon. His entire life he thought he would end up with a wife, he's had this picture in his head since he was young. He even imagined getting married and seeing his wife appear in a beautiful white gown. It's not that he thinks there's anything wrong with being gay, not at all, he just never imagined himself in this situation. It suddenly feels like his entire personality is shifting, even though he's still the same Jimin. Would he be able to accept a change like that, that easily? For Yoongi? Could he just tell Yoongi how he feels and... and what about... sex? Could he... be with a man like that?

As time passes by the other passengers are getting as nervous as Jimin, although they are probably worried about something else... He watches how people stand up to talk to the staff and walk back with disappointment in their faces.

"This is another announcement for passengers of Air Busan flight BX8106 to Busan Gimhae Airport, unfortunately the weather is not allowing the flight to depart for another hour. We sincerely apologise."

Damn, this storm must be a lot worse than Jimin thought. There are a bunch of other announcements about flights getting delayed. Jimin feels the nerves build up in his body now, making his leg shake more violently. What if his flight actually does get cancelled?

And 10 minutes later there is an announcement of a different flight to Seoul getting cancelled. Come on. Cancel my flight as well. Cancel my flight... Jimin thinks secretly. He tries to focus on another video for a while, but he can't stop looking at the screen of his gate, hoping to see big red text appear saying 'Cancelled'. Then, 15 minutes later...

"This is another announcement for passengers of Air Busan flight BX8106 to Busan Gimhae Airport, unfortunately the flight will be unable to depart today due to the persistent bad weather, please contact our -"

Jimin doesn't even wait for the end of the announcement. He jumps up from his chair and sprints to the exit.
