She Flies in Purple Skies

5: Planning the Heist

Yoongi thought it was funny to suddenly apply breaks and scare everyone. It was not. You almost had a heart-attack.

"Easy on the pranks, hyung, we have Ami with us." Jungkook says as he checks you for injuries, "You okay Amiya?"

You were not, but now you are.

"Yes," you huff, trying to calm your heart from the close exposure of the youngest, "Completely. I'm good."

"You look a bit shaken. Let me check you pulse." He says and glances at your wrist, looking hesitantly. You smile, "It's okay. You can."

Relieved, he places his fingers gently over your wrist and counts the beats with the time. When he's done, he looks at you, "You're sky high right now. Why is it so much more than the average rate?"

"I'm not used to sitting with my dream idols in the middle of the night, Jungkook, I'm trying my best to process." You say in half hearted mockery, using sarcasm to hide the nervousness. You had no idea you would have the Jeon Jungkook measuring your pulse rate.

"Have water, here," Jimin hands you a bottle, and you notice as you take it- It's a purple Stanley bottle with 'ARMY' written on it. You grow warm and soft, "You all have your things labelled under our name?" You ask, sipping from it.

"Not all of us. It's Jungkook's. He loves the fandom the most. Did you see the keyring? He carved it himself! Even- look! His necklace! Don't go shy, Kookie, show her!" Jimin teases Jungkook as he himself shrinks.

His face turns an adorable shade of pink as he rummages his hand inside the neckline of his beige hoodie, "Fine, look here Ami." He says and tugs out his pendant. It's indeed beautiful. Purple and silver. An amethyst carved into a small shape- the ARMY logo.

You smile at it and look up to him, "We all love you too, see!" You say and lift your hand, showing off your tiny '7' tattoo on your knuckle. Jungkook grins, "I bet you all do."

Jimin giggles, "Hey, I have the same tattoo!" he says and flashes his pinky finger where the tiny tattoo sits. Jungkook tilts his head and shows the same tattoo behind his ear, "Same here!" he says and you chuckle.

Namjoon chimes in too, "I have one on my ankle." He says and tries to push his sock down- a fail- his legs are too long and he can't reach them while sitting in a congested 7-seater. Yoongi scoffs, "Quit it, Namjoon, we know it's there."

But it was cute seeing the big koala struggle because of his enormity.

You can't help but chuckle at the lightheartedness of it all, but something tugs at your heart. These men, who seem larger than life, aren't invincible. They are humans, with vulnerabilities hidden beneath the perfection the world expects from them.

Namjoon smiles sheepishly and draws back to his backrest. You look at Yoongi, "You have one on your shoulder, right?" You ask as the man smoothly glides his hand over the steering. He sighs, "Remember I showed it in a live broadcast and some people spread rumors that it caused a metro station commotion? We'll be dealing with a similar thing. Tomorrow, though, and we need to do everything in our power to stop it."

"We really should get going," Namjoon says, nudging Yoongi. "We don't want to keep everyone waiting."

The Hyundai Palisade rolls smoothly down the road, eventually arriving at a sprawling mansion that gleams under the moonlight. The mansion is a striking blend of classic elegance and modern design, with its white marble facade contrasting beautifully against the dark sky. Tall columns frame the grand entrance, and large glass windows reflect the shimmering lights from the garden. Ornate, wrought-iron gates stand majestically at the entrance, and the path leading up to the house is lined with perfectly manicured hedges and glowing lanterns.
