🥀 Love is pain 🥀 ' Junoon ❣️ ' ( ✓ )

22.

The flight was filled with a mix of chatter and excitement as the passengers settled in, and soon the cabin lights dimmed for the night. Taehyung and Jungkook were animatedly discussing their plans for London, while Jimin and Yoongi, seated together, exchanged playful banter.

As the flight progressed, Jimin found himself growing drowsy, the rhythmic hum of the plane lulling him into a light sleep. He had leaned against the window, but soon, he felt himself gradually drifting closer to Yoongi, who was seated beside him. The proximity was unexpected but oddly comforting.

When Jimin finally opened his eyes, he was startled to find Yoongi’s face only inches from his own, his heart racing at the closeness. Yoongi was watching him with an amused expression, clearly having noticed Jimin’s sudden awareness.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” Yoongi murmured softly, his voice low and warm.

“Sorry,” Jimin mumbled, feeling a rush of embarrassment as he sat up straight. “I didn’t mean to...”

“No need to apologize,” Yoongi said with a smile, his eyes glinting mischievously. “You looked comfortable. I was just letting you be.”

Jimin felt a blush creep onto his cheeks. “Yeah, well, I guess I should’ve picked a different spot.”

“Or maybe you just wanted to be close,” Yoongi teased, leaning in a little closer, which sent a flutter through Jimin’s stomach.

Just then, Jungkook’s loud voice broke their moment. “Hey, are you two awake? We’re about to start our descent into London!”

“Yeah, we’re awake!” Jimin called back, forcing himself to focus on the excitement of arriving in a new city instead of the lingering warmth from his earlier encounter with Yoongi.

As the plane began its descent, Jimin and Yoongi exchanged quick glances, the tension between them lingering in the air like a spark waiting to ignite.

Once they landed and collected their bags, they stepped into the bustling airport. The bright lights and the hum of voices filled the air with energy. Taehyung and Jungkook led the way, eager to explore, while Jimin felt a nervous thrill at the thought of the adventures ahead.

In the terminal, Taehyung turned to everyone with a grin. “So, first stop: food! I heard there’s an amazing food market nearby.”

“Lead the way!” Jungkook cheered, and they all followed, excited to dive into the local culture.

As they navigated through the crowds, Jimin found himself walking beside Yoongi again. “What are you most excited to try?” Jimin asked, trying to steer the conversation away from the awkwardness earlier.

“Honestly? I’m ready for anything that has meat,” Yoongi replied with a grin. “But I’m also curious about the desserts. I’ve heard the pastries here are to die for.”

Jimin chuckled, his earlier nervousness fading. “Same! I can’t wait to try some sweets.”

As they reached the food market, the rich aromas enveloped them, and everyone’s eyes lit up at the colorful stalls. The group split up to sample different foods, laughter and chatter ringing out amidst the lively atmosphere.

Later, while enjoying some street food, Taehyung’s playful nature came out as he started teasing Jungkook about being a picky eater. “You’re going to regret not trying more things, you know!” Taehyung laughed, nudging him playfully.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try some of the weird stuff after I’ve had my fill of fries,” Jungkook shot back, crossing his arms in mock defiance.

Jimin couldn’t help but smile at the dynamic between them, feeling grateful to be a part of such a lively group. Yoongi leaned in closer to Jimin, sharing a piece of his food. “Here, try this. It’s amazing,” he said, offering a piece of meat on a skewer.
