Do not touch (Minsung)

One month later....

The group of four boarded the plane after the stylists. Jisung took his window seat and settled in quietly listening to his music. This was going to be a long ride. They were headed directly to America. They would be arriving in New York City and then taking a plane over to Washington D.C where they would stay for four days. Surprisingly it was not Yeji who plopped down next to him but Lee Know. "The two wanted to sit together." He shrugged putting his headphones in and ignoring Jisung who was perfectly fine with that. There was always some sort of unspoken tension between the two, yet here they were seated on a plane next to each other for the next 13 hours.

Lee know was panicking on the inside, he hates flying, the engine is always too loud voices keep him awake and the thought of being thousands and thousands of miles off the ground petrified him. He wanted to stab Chan for the way he made him sit with Jisung knowing full well that Lee Know gets panic attacks. Jisung quietly looked out the window taking in the ground before they would be off it for the next half a day. The seat was shaking a bit and Jisung turned his head to see if Lee Know felt it and he saw that the others knee was bouncing up and down uncontrollably. He sighed. He stared trying to think of if he should do this or not. It might help, but Lee Know might push him off and yell at him. He pondered on this for so long that the plane had started to move already.

As the plane made its way to the runway Jisung took in Lee Know's body language. Fidgeting hands, shaking hands, shaky breaths, a heaving chest, shaking leg. Fuck it. Jisung acted quickly sliding his right hand over onto Lee Know's thigh. It stopped bouncing. They got on the runway and stopped. Lee know didn't even have time to think about what Jisung just did because soon the plane sped up and was rapidly moving. Lee know panicked and tightly grabbed Jisung's hand with his own. He squeezed his eyes shut trying not to focus on how the plane tilted up and up and up. Then they were in the air. Jisung rubbed soothing circle onto the others knee trying to make sure he didn't fall into a full scale panic attack.

Lee know had calmed down considerably by now. Jisung deemed him okay enough to leave alone but when he went to retract his hand Lee Know squeezed it hard. Jisung didn't look at the other and quietly left his hand where it was on his knee and lower thigh. It was the early hours of the morning meaning that the sky was casted in darkness. Jisung soon got bored of looking out the window and closed his eyes to try and sleep. Jisung slowly drifted off feeling the warm expanse of muscle beneath his hand.

When he woke hours later he switched his phone on to see he was out for five hours. His hand was still occupied and Jisung looked next to him to see Lee Know uncomfortably resting his head on the tray table. That looks uncomfortable. The sun had already rose and the bright midday sky shown through. But the more they approached America the more it would get dark again. They left Korea in the early morning hours so currently it was midday in Korea and night time in America. Jisung was glad he slept through most of the ride already. Lee know twitched in his sleep a bit and Jisung got startled retracting his hand from the other. Slowly Lee Know's eyes split open revealing sleepy brown orbs. Jisung had to look away from the attractive man due to the intense blush that made its way to his face.

He could hear Lee Know let out a groan and stretch out. Suddenly the plane jerked a bit and Lee Know went to grab the armrest but missed and ended up grabbing Jisung's arm. Lee know had his eyes squeezed shut as he gripped onto Jisung's arm and the other arm rest in peril. The pilot came over the PA to let the passengers know of some unexpected turbulence and Lee Know flinched. The turbulence were bad jerking the plane around in the sky, the pilot even had to do some fancy maneuvers. It wasn't looking like the turbulence would stop anytime soon so Jisung acted quickly. He put the arm rest between them up and shuffled over wrapping his arm around Lee Know's neck and pulling him into his chest.

That sat like that for a while letting the turbulence push to the back of their minds. Lee know had brought his arms to wrap around Jisung's waist like a glove that fit just right. Jisung didn't even know why he was doing this, the other clearly didn't like him and was incredibly rude to him so why was he helping him? Maybe because he gets it, the panic, the anxiety, the jittery nerves, he gets it, all of it. There and then the two fell asleep in each others arms the turbulence long gone and forgotten.
