[Flight Fears] || Taeyong

You always had a fear of flying so you avoid going on trips that required the use of an airplane. Recently you realized that if you were going to visit your bucket list places, you were going to have to face your fears. The first place on your list was Seoul, South Korea and you were terrified yet excited. You were in your seat by the window and you were trying your hardest to calm down. Your legs were bouncing like crazy and you were certain that the person next to you was getting annoyed. They soon tapped your shoulder and you stopped bouncing your legs. You looked at them and you were surprised to see Taeyong sitting next to you.

"Excuse me? Are you okay?" His face wore a worried expression and his voice was laced with concern.

"If we're being honest here, not in the slightest. I've always been afraid of flying so I'm facing my fears. Only problem is that I'm still extremely nervous."

"I get nervous when the plane takes off so I know how you feel, just not as intense. I usually close my eyes and have my headphones so I can distract myself from the turbulence."

You looked through your bag and you realized that you didn't have your headphones in there. Taeyong noticed the pout on your face and offered you his.

"Won't you need them?"

"You need them more than me. Plus I have a song that I made which might help you calm down."

"What's it called?"

"It's called 'Long Flight' and I just recently released it."'

Your eyes widen and Taeyong giggled at your reaction.

"Y-you-"

"Yes, that's me."

"No way, I love your music. I listened to that song on the drive here."

"Really? Do you like it?"

"Like? I love it!"

He immediately sets up his phone to play the song and hands you his headphones. You were hesitant to take them but he then pulls a pair of earbuds.

"We can share these instead, that way we can both listen."

"That works for me." You felt yourself smile and he returned it.

After being notified to put on your seatbelts, you put an earbud in and braced yourself for the lift off. Your hands were squeezing the armrest when Taeyong started to trace patterns on the hand next to his. You loosened your grip and leaned back into your seat, focusing on the music. A few minutes had passed and you successfully gone through the turbulence. You opened your eyes and turned to Taeyong.

"I did it!"

"You did!"

The two of you talked for a while before the both of you were starting to feel sleeping.

"We have a long flight ahead of us so I think we should get some rest." Taeyong's suggestion was a great one as you were fighting the urge to put your head on his shoulder.

"That's a great idea, Taeyong." You looked through your bag again and pulled out an eye mask and neck pillow. You dreamt sweet dreams of the boy next to you, the person who helped you conquer your fears.
