Crossover: Kim Seokjin

Chapter 2 - Flight

Lana woke up from her nap and saw the flight attendants going around to serve food. She  straightened up her chair and looked around. She was still on the plane on her way to fulfil her dreams, the members of BTS are still on the same flight goofing around, and Min Yoongi is still, being the stoic that he is, sitting beside Lana.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds and calmed down. Lana took off her headphone and asked the flight attendant for a glass of wine. She might have the Asian flush that her law school roommate hated seeing, but she knows that she won't get wasted with just one glass. Lana knows herself enough.

The attendant smiled, approached her cart and went back as she handed the glass to Lana. She chugged down the wine in one go. Lana looked around and caught Yoongi looking at her. He turned around as soon as their eyes met. Well, there goes her chance to act cool and be worthy of her business class ticket. I'll be better at this, Lana told myself. But deep inside, her subconscious isn't just too classy enough for this kind of seat. Lana grew up in the province, attended public school and might be the loudest person you'll ever meet. But I have to be better at this. Lana knows that he's an idol and she might just be feeling flustered but soon, she will be talking to real diplomats. Let this situation be here practice.

I can do better than this.

Lana got up and politely signalled Yoongi that she needs to pass through. She went straight to the lavatory to check herself on the mirror. It was locked. Lana put her headphone on again and waited. Click. She looked up and immediately recognised the owner of that goofy smile.

"Oh! Hello!" Jung Hoseok beamed at her. Lana smiled at him back. It was not awkward and she already felt that he is a really nice guy. He smiled again at her and walked towards his seat.

Lana finally went inside the lavatory and carefully checked herself on the mirror. Other than looking like a watermelon, she thought that she is fine. She has her Asian flush on and her rashes are visible on her neck but it is something she learned to live with ever since she started drinking alcohol. Lana's siblings are all good drinkers, and she is considered as the "weak" one because of her allergy. But still, if you want it, you'll have it, right?

She splashed water on her face and dried it with facial tissues. Lana then put her black bomber jacket on and walked slowly back to her seat. As soon as she sat down, the flight attendant confirmed her pre-ordered meal and placed it on Lana's tray table. It was her first time on the business class section and she was impressed. The plating is different, the serving is bigger and they even gave her real utensils! This might sound shallow but since she has always travelled in economy class, this is a total upgrade for her.

Lana was so satisfied with the meal placed in front of her that she did not notice the people seating in front. They are eyeing Yoongi between the gaps of their headrests and giggling.

"Yah!" Yoongi called. He looked annoyed and embarrassed at the same time.

Hoseok and the other BTS member, Park Jimin, didn't mind him. Hoseok must have told Jimin earlier about the "other" person with them in the business class. 

"Hi! How are you?" Jimin said. Lana cannot help but give him a bright smile. Deep inside, she knows that he is showing off his English skills. 

"I am fine. Thank you. How about you?" Lana asked Jimin back. Jimin giggled and gave her a thumbs up. She cannot help but smile and get lost in his angel's eyes.

"What are you listening to?" Hoseok asked while pointing at her headphone. 

"Eminem. Do you want to listen?" Lana immediately took of her headphone and he was surprised with her offer. He eventually took the headphone and listened to it. At the corner of her eye, she saw Yoongi's face lighten up as soon as she mentioned Eminem. 

"Ooooh. Hip-hop!" Hoseok said while feeling the beat. She gave him a smile. "You know BTS? We do hip-hop too." He then pointed Yoongi. "Best rapper in Korea," he said as he struggled with his English.

"I know. Bad boy from Daegu, right? Agust D?" Lana finally looked at Yoongi and acknowledged his presence. He gave her a weak smile and looked down.

"Yah! Agust D! Agust D!" Jimin exclaimed while pointing at Yoongi; excited to understand something familiar. 

Thanks to Jimin, the whole business class section looked at their group. The BTS members, their managers and some foreigners were the other passengers in the business class section. RM noticed them and Hoseok immediately gave Lana's headphone back. RM joined the "party," which Lana assumed annoyed Yoongi. Even Lana who like people felt that it was too crowded.

"Hi! How are you?" RM asked.

"Great! How about you?" She replied to him. 

"My name is RM and these are my group mates. Are they annoying you or anything?"

"No, I am totally fine. But I am not sure if he appreciates the noise." Lana pouted and looked at Yoongi.

RM immediately understood what she meant. He told Jimin and Hoseok to seat properly, and whispered something to Yoongi. Min Yoongi said something back but Lana didn't catch anything because it was too soft and her Korean isn't that good yet. 

"It was nice meeting you. What's your name again?" RM asked.

"Lana."
