Chapter 62 The Airport Part 2

The driver was waiting at his apartment, ready to pick Namjoon up to go to the airport. Namjoon did one last check in his bag. "Wallet, check, passport, check, money, check".

He seemed to be set to go. He was glad that he was going back to the US. The  itinerary seemed a bit full with events and activities. However, he still would have some time for himself when in LA. He couldn't wait to roam around, perhaps he should visit the beach or a museum or something.

He gathered his bags and hopped in the car. "To the airport please" Namjoon said. The driver nodded. There were a few other cars behind them, which was for the security crew members. Namjoon looked back and saw all the cars following him. He was used to it by now. "There once was a time that someone thought he was the head of security" came up n his mind. 

He glanced over his phone, he wanted to delete the message that he accidentally sent to her. But somehow it seemed that he could not get himself to delete any of the conversations. "What if she would read his last message one day"? He thought...."Why was his message still on unseen"? He hoped she was ok, and that she just changed her number or something like that.

The driver looked in his rear view mirror. "Everything alright Sir? Is the temperature in here alright for you"?

Namjoon looked up with a smile "Yes, yes..all is good, thank you very much". Namjoon was always intrigued when people actually cared about him and their job.

As he drove by all the buildings, he took it all in. "Seoul" he thought. He closed his eyes and started humming his song  and sang softly "I love you soooo....I hate you sooooo" Namjoon smiled. Seoul, ever since he moved here so much has happened, so much has changed. He thought of all the fun memories he had with the other band members. "Ugh" he thought "I can't wait for this to all be over, and we can all be together again".

Namjoon arrived at the airport and took his bags from the back of the car. Somehow there was something about travelling with an airplane. He didn't mind it, but it was always full with people and photographers, waiting for him to pass by. Therefore, he  liked to arrive early so that he could get through the crowd. He wished he could just sit down at the gate, have a cup of cappuccino and watch people who were traveling. But that would be too hard. It was always a last minute check in and he would get escorted to the gate by his body guards. They than made sure that he would quickly disappear into the airplane.

This time was not any different. People were kind off following him and he tried to wave and smile as much as he could. He saw a little boy right before he entered the airplane. The boy was doing some of the Butter dance moves. Namjoon stopped. One of the body guards whispered in his ear "Sorry we have to keep moving"!

"Please just one second" Namjoon said quickly and looked at the boy. "Keep dancing ok, you are talented, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise" he said to the boy....and gave him his cap..."Here this one is for you...". The boy was so happy and his parents bowed to Namjoon to show their gratitude. But Namjoon kinda had to move on and only waved quickly and entered the plane.

The little boy went back to his seat and was playing with the cap that Namjoon just gave him. "Oh my god' he said in excitement "I can't believe he gave this to me!..."He told me to keep dancing" the boy smiled from ear to ear and he did some dance moves. His parents cheered him on, but he saw this lady across from them watching and smiling and all of a sudden he got a bit shy and stopped.

Namjoon settled in his chair, ready for the flight. He buckled his seatbelt. "Would you like anything to drink" the flight attendant asked. 

"Just some water please, thank you" Namjoon smiled. He thought back of the time where he was still sitting in economy class. No drinks were offered before departure. Things were so different now. However, sometimes he longed for the days that made everything seemed more simple. He just had to think of spitting out bars and lyrics. Now he had to think of becoming a husband to someone he barely knew, and he did not know how to announce it to the world either. 

Now he found himself alone in an empty apartment. He longed for the days where all 7 members were living together. Although the apartment was so small, they always had so much fun together. He missed how Jin and Suga would be cooking for them. JK learned so much by watching his brothers. 

"Here you are Sir" the flight attendant gave him his drink. "Thank you" Namjoon said. He took a sip and turned to his bodyguard "Please do not have them wake me up for food, if I am sleeping". The bodyguard nodded...and Namjoon closed his eyes thinking of the days they were all still living together.
