Who you used to be - [p.jm]

26. "They're running"

"Backpack?"

"Yup."

"Passport?"

"Mhm."

"Tickets?"

You held up the two plane tickets so Jimin could see. He carefully looked around before locking the entrance door.

The both of you quickly ran over to the van where one of Jimin's men was sitting in the driver's seat.
He started driving as soon as the car door had been closed.

You couldn't believe you were actually leaving the country.

Jimin had gotten tickets to America. He had told you to only pack what you really needed, as it would have been suspicious if you had been sighted.

Jimin was a wanted criminal after all. You needed to be careful.

"Will people not recognize you?", you questioned.

"They only know my name, not what I look like", he explained and took out his passport to show you.

"Christian? Really?", you scoffed at the fake identity the passport showed.

He pretended to be hurt, but also found it amusing.

"Bangtan didn't reveal your face to the public. It was kept private, because all of us didn't want you to be hunted down and killed by the police", you muttered.

Jimin didn't respond. He knew that well. But the thought of Bangtan caring about him wasn't something he wanted to think about. It would confuse him even more on his way to his goal.

"I'm aware of that. And I guess, thankful, in a way", he just said before the car fell silent for the rest of the drive.

You got through the body search control easily and were sitting in the waiting area along with other flight attendants. They were all normal people, maybe going to visit family, work, or were just on holiday.

You wondered if it was possible to tell whether someone else in the room was an assassin too.

Jimin and you looked like a completely normal couple going on vacation together. Nobody could have guessed in what kind of business the two of you were involved.

Jimin's airport fashion was 11/10 though.

How could a normal person be so hot?

"You okay?", he asked and took your hand.

"Yeah... I'm just sad, I guess."

He raised an eyebrow.

You licked your bottom lip nervously.
"I've never been anywhere else apart from Korea. This is the only home I know. Leaving it is like... losing who I am."
