Chapter Nine

-       Jeon Jeongguk    -

"Hey, buddy. Time to wake up!"  I hear a voice coming from slightly above me. It's speaking gently, with a familiar voice, but in my sleepy, dazed state, I can't quite pin who it is. I roll over, turning away from the voice, grumbling just a little bit as a squeeze my pillow tighter.

Only a few moments pass before I hear the voice again, but now it's just slightly louder, and accompanied by a hand on my shoulder. I try to shake the hand off, but it shakes me back, and the voice is persistent.

"Ggukkie, I know you're awake.   We have to go now, we're landed in a safe area but if we don't get moving soon, we might be caught." I now recognize the voice as belonging to Seokjin. Despite having no interest in getting up, I know that resistance would be pointless, as Jin would be dragging me out of here by my ears before he'd let me stay behind.

I hate being the youngest.

Groaning, I slowly sit up, opening my eyes and looking around. My surroundings are unfamiliar, but it doesn't take long for me to remember where I am. I glance down at the messy bed next to me, where Jimin had been the night before. I couldn't sleep, so he abandoned his original sleeping spot to cuddle with me. He's the sweetest.

Looking over to the area near the entrance of the plane, I see Namjoon and Taehyung in what appears to be a serious conversation. Taehyung is standing in one of his intimidating positions, with his arms crossed, one foot propped against the other as he leans up against a wall, keeping his chin straight, looking directly at Namjoon. Namjoon is more tense than anything, standing up straight with one arm on his hip and the other on the back of a seat. His eyes are serious as he looks at Taehyung through his messy black hair, still unbrushed from what was probably a restless night.

I don't see anyone else, except Seokjin exiting the plane, but I assume that the other three are all outside, probably ready to get going. And as much as I want to sleep in, I can feel the adrenaline starting to wake me up, the fear of being caught gradually gaining in intensity. So, I hop out of my makeshift bed, probably a little too excitedly, though, as I feel the airplane rock a little bit, and both Tae and Joon look over at me, clearly startled by the sudden movement.

I look at them, slightly embarrassed, mostly at Taehyung, who returns my gaze. Namjoon quickly looses interest when he notices the staring contest happening between me and Taehyung, and excuses himself silently so as to not be caught in the crossfire of a sexually tense stare-down. We stand there for another minute or so, before Taehyung is called out of the airplane by Jimin. He ends our stare-off with a smirk, before turning away from me and going outside. I stand there, semi-dazed, for a few more moments before getting on with changing my clothes into something cleaner.

Climbing down the steps of the plane, I shield my eyes to the sunlight that glares in from an odd angle. Looking around, I realize that Jin somehow managed to land us in some sort of cave, probably just under a cliffside. The plane isn't completely hidden, but enough so that we'll probably be in the clear for a few more hours before somebody noticed, especially given that the plane is so small and not easily noticable.

I look over to where the rest of the group is, and realize that all they seem to be doing is waiting for me. I stare at them for a minute, confused, before getting flustered and hurrying over to them, keeping my eyes to the ground to avoid Taehyung's dangerous stare. 

"I'm sorry.  I didn't realize I kept you guys waiting for so long."  I whisper, my voice just a bit raspy from not having much time to wake up.
