Yoongi stared at his younger with disappointment in his eyes. If he could see that Taehyung liked this girl why couldn't anyone else? "I got her a ring. I mean what was I thinking?" He picked at his food. Today the contract was terminated.
You flew off to America. Leaving your old life behind. Taehyung heard that you quit acting for good and that you were trying to become a flight attendant. It broke his heart that he probably would never see you again. "You should've talked to her when you had the chance."
The media had died down and people were quickly realizing that they hated on the victim in this situation. Yoongi shook his head as he noticed that Taehyung was no longer paying attention to him.
"Get your head on straight. We're going on tour and we can't afford you to lose your focus right now." Yoongi was right. Now was not the time to sulk in his shortcomings. He can only go up from here

"I look stupid." You frowned at your uniform. Tori smiled at you. She had heard about your past. I mean who hadn't? She had never watched the video and never desired to. The two of you had completed training and it was going to be your first time in the job.
"You look so hot Y/n!" A scowl made its way to your face at Tori. She had dark green highlights in her hair and blue piercing eyes. She was beautiful and you wondered if she ever did modeling.
"I look weird. This isn't me."
"Good because this is a job. I don't know if everything has been handed to you on a silver platter but people's lives are on the line." Your mouth shut quickly. Don't respond. It'll only get you in trouble.
"Sorry sir." He smiled at your response. Thanks to Dahlia you only flew on planes whose pilot was Ace. A man around your age. You understood why everyone swooned over him. Tori nudged your shoulder as soon as he walked away.
"Did you see the way he looked at you? He totally has feelings for you girl." You rolled your eyes and followed your boss onto the plane. You knew what it was like getting involved with your boss. You wouldn't dare to do it again.
"Has he asked you out? You should give him a chance."
"Tori. Drop it. I will not be dating Ace." You paused at the sudden heat behind you. Heat flushed to your face as you looked at Tori.
"That's a shame. I wanted to ask you out to a movie sometime." You closed your eyes out of frustration. Was he messing with you? Did he think you were easy? He pushed past you and continued doing your job.

Just your luck a pregnant woman goes into labor on the plan. Tori was throwing up in a trash can while you, Ace, and a doctor who was a passenger on the plane got praised for making sure everyone was safe.
"Were you serious about that movie thing?" Ace smirked at your question. No one could deny how pretty you are. But Ace made a promise to Dahlia to not hurt you. If he wanted you he would have to date you.
"And if you say yes, I don't want you to think that we're together or anything. I'm not ready for a relationship." Ace smiled he liked your aura. He also liked you as a friend and didn't want to ruin that.
"You're a brave girl Y/n. I like that. I'll pick you up at 7:00."

Character development is what this is. The cold winter air hits your hands. The white turtle neck and beige coat did nothing to help you as you waited for Ace to show up. One thing about your boss is that he is never late.
A black Mercedes pulls in front of your apartment complex and a smile forms on your face as he rolls down the window. A smirk forms on his lips as he scans your form.
"Well, are you just going to stand there and look stupid?" You rolled your eyes and got into the car. It felt weird. Your life was calm. No drama. No fear. You're actually free and you haven't felt this way in a while.
"So when were you going to tell me about your ex being a celebrity? I mean I can't compete with BTS V." The name made you want to jump into oncoming traffic. He did his research. Everyone does when they realize your name sounds familiar.
"He's irrelevant to me. Kim Taehyung means nothing to me." Ace licked his lips as he noticed your clenched fists. He immediately knew that his next statement would piss you off.
"Well you know I owe Dahlia a slew of favors. She recently asked me for another one." Ace slowly pulls into the movie theater parking lot. And bile rose to your throat. Almost as if you knew his next words.
"She recently asked me if I could fly BTS to America for their tour since she trusts me and my crew. But if you're uncomfortable I can get someone else to take this offer." It had been two months since you talked to him. Yet everything came back to him.
Kim Taehyung. Why did everything come back to him? Ace looked at your stoic face. Most claimed that was the look of trauma, but he could tell that there were many thoughts behind that mask. "I will not force you to relive that. If you don't want to work that day I can-"
"I'll work. I need the money." Back to speaking half-truths. Ace shook his head as he turned the car off. He knew how hard that flight would be. How much attention would be on the airport? He at least hoped that you would be safe.
No more public drama. It is the least you can get.
