The Second Choice

Need A Plus One

Monday

Y/N settled into her plush business class seat, feeling the gentle hum of the airplane beneath her. She gazed out the window, watching the world below grow smaller as the plane ascended into the sky. The early morning sun bathed everything in a soft, golden light, making the moment feel almost surreal. This was her first trip to Paris, a city she had always dreamed of visiting, and the thought of it filled her with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

A flight attendant approached her with a warm smile. "Good morning, Ms. Y/N Logan. Can I offer you something to drink? Perhaps a glass of champagne to start your journey?"

Y/N returned the smile, appreciating the comfort and luxury that surrounded her. "A glass of champagne sounds perfect, thank you."

As the flight attendant handed her the sparkling glass, Y/N leaned back in her seat, savoring the moment. The bubbles danced lightly on her tongue, a reminder that she was finally taking some time for herself. It had been a whirlwind of emotions and events lately, and this trip was exactly what she needed to clear her mind and gain some perspective.

She turned her attention to the in-flight menu, the options making her stomach rumble slightly. The stress of the last few weeks had left her appetite in flux, but now, in the serene calm of the airplane cabin, she realized she was actually quite hungry.

"Would you like to place your meal order now?" the flight attendant asked, noticing Y/N's interest in the menu.

"Yes, I'll have the grilled salmon with a side of asparagus," Y/N decided, appreciating the healthy yet satisfying choice.

"Excellent choice," the flight attendant said, noting down her order. "Your meal will be ready shortly."

As she waited, Y/N closed her eyes for a moment, letting the steady rhythm of the plane relax her. The past few weeks had been intense, with her juggling her complicated relationships with Jimin, Taehyung, and the tangled dynamics at work. She couldn't help but let her mind drift to the events of the past few days.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of her meal. The scent of the perfectly grilled salmon wafted up to her, and she eagerly took her first bite. The flavors were exquisite, a delightful mix of savory and fresh, making her realize just how much she had missed taking a moment to simply enjoy good food.

"Is everything to your liking, Ms. Y/N Logan?" the flight attendant asked, breaking through her thoughts once more.

"Yes, it's wonderful, thank you," Y/N replied, managing a smile.

As the plane continued its journey across the Atlantic, Y/N decided to try and distract herself with a movie. She scrolled through the selection of films, finally settling on a light romantic comedy. It was exactly the kind of mindless entertainment she needed right now, something that didn't require too much emotional investment.

But as the movie played on, she found her thoughts wandering back to Jimin. She couldn't shake the image of his smile, the way his eyes lit up when he looked at her, or the warmth of his embrace. Yet, beneath all that, there was an underlying tension that she couldn't quite place. Was she being paranoid?

The seat next to her suddenly became occupied. She looked over, surprised to see a familiar face.

"Taehyung?" she asked, her eyebrows raising in surprise.

Taehyung grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Surprise! Thought I'd join you on your Paris adventure."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't know you were coming! When did you book your ticket?"

"Last minute," he admitted, leaning back in his seat. "I figured you could use some company. Plus, I could use a little break myself. I'm just joking—our investors in Paris arranged a meeting last minute and Jimin couldn't go as he had to finalize some other deal in the UK."
