17.

"Fuck, I better not throw up." Chaeyoung muttered to herself, squeezing her eyes shut. She was expecting the worst, the nausea going to hit her hard like a terrible hangover. 

Firmly tightening her fists, she tried to take slow breaths to calm herself but...the plane started to shake. 

Turbulence had finally begun. 

Heart beginning to race in panic, she held onto her stomach, doing constant flips. 

"Hey, you're okay right?" Lisa didn't even notice that Mina had originally sat beside Lisa. She was taking a short nap when the transfer had occurred. Luckily, lisa was now her new seat buddy. Lisa in fact knew the motion sickness chaeyoung had.

To Lisa, it was like she was going on a roller coaster, and she found it a thrill. For chaeyoung, turbulence was a complete nightmare. 

Chaeyoung couldn't speak, rather she nodded her head. However, both the girls knew that, that wasn't the truth what so ever.

"Don't lie chae, I know you feel sick."

Flashback:

"Babe, I know you feel sick." 

Jungkook rubbed soothing circles around Chaeyoung's back. Her head was settled in between her legs, shutting her eyes completely. Clutching onto a paper bag, she took calm breaths to the best of her ability.

She wanted the plane to land. She had made it through for the last 5 hours, now it was time for this plane ride to be over...right?

"Shut up Jungkook. Just...shut up." Chaeyoung already felt helpless and her weak words were crying for help. 

Jungkook couldn't fulfill her wish of landing the plane then and there, since there was still an hour left until the plane landed to their final destination.

"Here," Jungkook now placed a green oval-shaped ball with a familiar citric scent near chaeyoung's nose. Her nose twitched, and she jerked her head back, now sitting upright. The sudden exposure to the scent basically scared her.

"I brought you a lime" Jungkook cutely giggled, "it's even cut open. Smell it for a bit, it should help. And..." after handing the lime to the puzzled chaeyoung, Jungkook dug through his travel bag, finding a little package. Here's some gravel. Good thing you already ate dinner, just eat this and it should kick in about 20 minutes."

"20 minutes!?" Chaeyoung whined, not wanting to handle this anymore. She felt like jumping off the plane. 

"It'll go by quick. I'll distract you." Handing over a anti-nausea pill and a bottle of water, Chaeyoung quickly took the medication. Jungkook gently took the bottle from her, placing it in front of the seat pocket. 

Jungkook soon wrapped his arm around Chaeyoung's shoulder, pulling her closer for comfort. His thumbs were rubbing soothing circles around her shoulder, and he planted a soft kiss on her temple. A little spark of electricity made Chaeyoung's heart flutter. 

Resting her head on his shoulder, she held onto the lime that was cut in half, putting it close to her nose. The scent was so calming and the nausea was starting to feel less. 

20 minutes had gone by...and to her luck, sleepiness started to kick in.

Now she can take a nice little nap until the plane landed. NO nausea, no distractions. 

End of flashback:

"Chae...chaeyoung!" Chaeyoung shook her head, letting her mind be broken from the trance. The flasback/memory felt all too real, that her cheeks almost blushed in remembering the memory so clearly.
