🧚🏼‍♀️ Abroad Alone

"You'll be going abroad for the filming of your music video." 

Those words repeated themselves in the mind of Jimi's.

It had been confirmed that she was going to make a solo comeback once her songs were finalized and SM wanted her to go to the states to film the music video. For the past few months of practice, not one single thought of going abroad crossed her mind which was why it made her more nervous. She only traveled with her members and dozens of managers along with staff, but now it was only going to be one of the managers and a small team of staff members plus security.

She arrived the dorms and threw herself face first onto the couch, a deep sigh escaping her lips. The members glanced at each other then sacrificed Jaehyun, pushing him towards the girl.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"SM wants to send me to the States."

"It isn't that bad-"

"Alone, Jae, alone." She whined, finally looking up at him with a pout. The rest of the members began surrounding them, eyebrows furrowed.

"You'll have the staff and managers, right?" asked Taeyoung, Jimi nodding in response. "Yeah, but not you guys."

The members all cooed, either they showed it or didn't. They took turns voicing their affection for Jimi, swooning over how adorable she was.

Eventually, she had Jaehyun and Taeyoung sit beside her, laying on Jaehyun and tugging Taeyoung towards her.

"Can we build big pillow fort?"

"Of course."

Once getting as many furniture and pillows together, along with blankets, they had some member inside then some outside. They watched Disney movies, as to Jimi's requests, and pigged out on their snacks.

They spent majority of their night eating, watching movies, and talking.

Jimi did shed a few tears, but the members didn't know if it was over the movie or because she was leaving.

Due to the request of SM, Jimi had to record her journey to the States and while she was there as well (she received a self camera for this). She woke up around 5am to get her luggage ready since the boys distracted her, her flight wasn't until 8am anyway so she had plenty of time. She'd be staying there for a month or more (filming + promotions), occasionally flying back to Korea for important events of course, so she had to pack quite heavily. 

Turning the camera on, she smiled and waved sleepily at the lens. "Hi czennies, it's currently 5am and I have to pack and get ready to get to the airport for the filming of my mv." she turned the camera towards her open suitcase then pointed it outside of the window, "All the members are still asleep of course, hopefully I won't make too much noise."

The door creaked loudly and she let out a small squeak, her expression falling quickly. "Ah... there goes my plan... it's okay though! They're all deep sleepers... I hope," she quickly rushed to the bathroom and recorded herself doing her skincare.

She made small comments about the products then went back to her room to start packing.  She propped the camera on her desk and went through her closet, pulling out clothes she liked.  After at least an hour of packing and small talk, she was finally done.

She shut the camera off to shower and change into blue wide pant leg jeans, a white crop top with small flowers, and a plaid bucket hat. She turned the camera back on to show her journey to the kitchen, but stopped upon seeing someone already cooking, walking closely and snaking her arms around their waist after setting the camera on the counter.
