AERODROME | JiKook

Chapter 3

It's familiar. I think I saw it somewhere already. Where could it be? This feels so strange, but when our eyes met, it just felt so familiar. I felt nothing else but the feeling of familiarity. Who is he? Those eyes are so-

"What's familiar?" The man infront of me asked.

What the heck! Is this a kind of telepathy or something? How did he know what I was thinking?

"H-how-"

"You were mouthing the word 'familiar' for like 5 times or more." He inserted as if he knows what I'm gonna ask him. "Don't you remember me?"

W.H.A.T.
I knew it! He's so familiar. But the thing is, I don't remember him. It would be awkward to say to him that I actually don't recall him, nor his name and his face. Just those eyes. Maybe, I met him in my dreams? Hmm, probably.

"Uhmmm. I'm really sorry but-"

"Do you know how painful it is to be forgotten by someone? Huh? Answer me, now." He pronounced the words exaggeratedly, making it as dramatic as he can.

What on earth is happening now?
I let out a very confused expression. Shookt. By that time, he bursted out a very heavy, manly laugh as if he was getting tickled by a giant. He seems so happy about everything he did. Eh. (?)

"JK!!!"

He really do know me?!
"What!?"

"Huh? That means 'just kidding'. People on internet use that term nowadays." Wiggling his two fingers on both hands in the air. "By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Jungkook, JK."

"You're just kidding? So what really is your name?"

That's what you get when you're too much drawn into social media.

"No. My name is Jungkook. JK is just a shortcut."

"Ahhh hahaha. I'm Jimin." He stretched forward his right arm to shake hands with me. I then stretched both of my hands to shake his. Yep, good manners towards older people. He's older than me, I'm sure of that.

"You're a very funny person." I complimented.

"You're cute." He replied.
"You reminded me of my brother." Now he is slowly lowering down his head to avoid my stare like he don't want me to see his face.

Why does it seem like he is sad?
Maybe he just missed him like I how I do for my sister.
"Uhm. May I ask about your br-"

"This is the final boarding call for Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin booked on flight 5J0613 to Oxford, England. Please proceed to gate 3 immediately.-"

"OH MAN HOLY SHIT!" He exclaimed while pulling his bag and grabbed my hand, then started to run so fast.

"WAIT. WAIT! MY BAG!" I let go of his grip and returned to our seat earlier to get my bag.

"The final checks are being completed and the captain will order for the doors of the aircraft close in approximately five minutes time.-"

"KOOK-AH. FASTER!" He starts running while looking at his back to call me. He slowed down a bit and stretched his arm to grab mine and I ran faster so I could take a hold of his hand. Then we zoomed away towards the boarding ramp of the aircraft.

"I repeat. This is the final boarding call for Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin. Thank You."

We stopped running when we got to the main door of the craft. We removed our linked hands a little hard like it was 'emphasized'. We just shrugged it off then fixed each other's hairs and clothes then proceeded inside like nothing happened.
Phew. That was close. We bowed to the crews infront of us then went to our designated seats.

---

I was sitting at the window side and surprisingly, his seat is just next to me. Oh, look at how life works. ㅋ ㅋ

As the cabin crews demonstrated in the aisle about all the safety measures we need to know, my attention was caught by the sight outside my window. It was raining but I can clearly see the scenery outside.

I felt so calm. I was flying to the clouds even before our plane could take off. Rain, airfield, airplanes, my favorites at once. I can't ask for more. This already feels like heaven. Someday, I'll be working to where my heart belongs. I promise.
