I Need U // Park Jimin

CHAPTER 32: South Korea

-Layla's POV-
"The landing will start soon. Please stay seated for 20 minutes from now as we are preparing. Make sure your seatbelt is tightly fastened. Thank you."
I faintly heard the air hostess' announcement, just waking up from my deep sleep. I yawned, and looked around to see most people sleeping or watching a film. Jimin, Katrina and Melody are all still not awake yet, their heads tilting on one side. How cute.

So, only 30 minutes to go, I thought and let out a big sigh. It's been a long, tiring journey. We're finally going to South Korea! I've always wanted to go, but my parents said I should save up money - They were right. Now, I've come to live here. I can't believe I'm saying that.

I hear a groan from Melody, as she slowly opened her eyes and stretched. I gave her a warm smile.
"We're nearly there. You okay?"
"I'm okay, thanks. I can't wait until we get off from this plane, my back hurts," She answered while yawning.
I laughed at her casual response. I guess relaxing for a moment is best in situations like this.

--1 hour later--

-Melody's POV-

Jimin wears his mask and SnapBack to hide away his identity - This is not the time to be chased around by BTS fans.
"We need to go quickly," Jimin whispered. Layla and Katrina followed behind us, seeing people starting to crowd around Jimin.
They didn't know how to react, so they put their heads down and continued to walk.

After we got into the taxi, we were finally able to let go of our tension. What will they think of me? I don't want the fans to hate me just because I'm going out with Jimin. I need to stop worrying, I repeated in my head. It's one of the reasons why I stress more than other people.

"Big Hit entertainment, please." Jimin spoke to the taxi driver. I recognized that name - It's the studio where BTS works at to make their music. I'm going to get to meet the other members!! I silently screamed, in my head of course. I reminisce the moment where I first met Jimin. It was near my birthday, so it was like my big gift.
Thinking of my birthday, it's in two days. I'm going to be 20 - no longer a teenager. The time has gone past so quickly.

-2 hours later-

-Jimin's POV-
"So, you're telling me that behind this door BTS is going to be there!?" Melody whispered excitedly, her voice going high pitched.
"Yes," I smiled at her childishness and patted her head. It's been ages since she was last excited about something. And, she hasn't fangirled in a while either. It's funny seeing her like this.

"Just open it!!" Katrina whispered and gestured to the door handle.
I breathed in and out. At some point today, I'm going to have to tell him everything that has happened since I went to 'rescue' Melody. They're your best friends, I told myself. I don't need to be scared. Soon after, I put my hand into the door handle and confidently opened it.

We all walked in, and at first everyone froze. Then, a huge grin appeared on their faces.
"Hyung!!! You're back!!" They shouted, and all came towards me.  I felt 6 pairs of arms wrap around me, and I suddenly felt warmth. I'm home.

Out the corner of my eye, I saw Melody, Layla and Katrina silently squealing together. I was now engulfed by the pairs of arms. We all jumped, each of them shouting 'you're back!' and 'we missed you!' repeatedly. They all drew back, and saw the happiness on their faces. It made me feel warm and loved, a place that will always exist.

Bringing my attention back to reality, I saw the boys' eyes staring at the 3 girls. Then, their eyes went back to me, expecting an explanation. I laughed, all of them looking confused.
"Oh, I'll introduce you to them. They're Melody, Layla and Katrina." I spoke in Korean and pointed to them one by one.

Layla and Katrina tilted their heads, puzzled by what I had just said. But Melody knew what I meant.
"They are all our fans so we don't need to introduce ourselves to them," I chuckled whispered into one of the member's ear.

-Melody's POV-
I stood there, unable to speak. BTS are right in front of me. I can't believe it. Act casual, I muttered and straightened my back.
"Jimin's friends?" Jungkook spoke out.
I nodded nervously in response.
"Point to them one by one and say their names ," Jimin nudged me.

I stepped forward, while Jimin translated what he said to his friends.
"Uh - Jungkook, Taehyung, Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi and Hoseok. Well, and Jimin."
This was easy, I thought. I didn't even have to think about it. Ha ha, I know them too well. The boys looked impressed. My cheeks felt hot, did I act arrogant around them? No, I'm just worrying too much, again.
"Nice to meet you," The blond haired Namjoon shook my hand and bowed. He's the best at English.
"You too," I bowed back.
Jimin then spoke to Jungkook, his eyes widening after that. What did he tell him?
"Girlfriend and boyfriend?" Jungkook pointed at me then Jimin. I nodded again. Why can I not speak in front of him? I sighed in my mind.

"Congratulations ~" Taehyung, the funny visual cutely clapped his hands. I giggled from his silliness - His looks does not match with his personality.
"Kamsahabnida," I answered back in Korean. It's worth making an effort, right?
Layla and Katrina stood next to me, wanting attention from them.
Me and Jimin stepped back while they greeted each other.
"I can't believe BTS are right in front of me - And I can't believe you're my boyfriend either," I kissed Jimin on the cheek. I have to remember, he's from BTS aswell.
"I love you," Jimin touched his nose onto mine.
"I love you too," I smiled.

"Cuutteee ~" I heard Hoseok, the comedian of the goup yell in a high pitched voice. Everyone started to laugh at how weird he was being. He is exactly like I expected him to be - Constantly joking brightening up the atmosphere.
It would not be BTS without him.
I spotted Yoongi, the relaxed one and Jin, the other visual stare at each other and shake their heads. I guess first impressions are important to them.
I completely forgot my grogginess from jet lag, because of meeting BTS. But now that I had calmed down, I felt my eyes wanting to shut.

"Are you guys tired?" Jimin raised his eyebrows at me, Layla and Katrina. Being reminded of the time difference between England and Korea, we all rubbed our eyes at the same time.
"Yea, we're really tired," Katrina mumbled, her eyes now half closed.
"You can sleep in the dorm next to us," Namjoon spoke. As always, the leader makes the decisions.

"Okay, you girls can follow me," Jimin motioned to the door.
Suddenly, the boys came towards us and lifted up our suitcases.
"Oh no, it's ok," I waved my hands in front of me.
Jungkook gave me a wink to reassure me, then exited the door.
I followed them to the dorm, a pastel-grey door.
"I'm going to hang out with them, you three can explore and settle into the dorm, yea?" Jimin squeezed my shoulder.

"Yea," I replied. Me, Layla and Katrina opened the door after all the boys had gone. The feeling of anticipation welled up inside me. What's the room going to look like?
We all entered the room, and gasped. It's so modern, and cute. The main living room was square shaped, with a light wooden floor. There was a black couch and rug in the top right corner, along with a big TV opposite to it.

It was fairly plain, but the oak table and wardrobe made the room look homely and warm. The best thing about it was, the fact that it was so clean.
"It's so cute!!" Layla said, still admiring the room.
"Let's go to the bedrooms!" I walked towards the second door I spotted.

In the end, we found 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a small kitchen and the living room of course. It's actually quite big for a dorm, especially when there's only 3 of us. After we unpacked, we came back into the living room and stood there - Not knowing what to do. There was a moment of silence.
"Shall we sleep," Katrina slumped her shoulders. It wouldn't hurt to sleep for a bit, right?

In unison, we spoke out.
"Yea~," all of us nodded and scrunched up our noses.
