103: The View From Up Here

You pull the spacesuit over your body again with much effort. You'd never felt that going to the bathroom would be such a hassle but here, it was. You'd had to strap your legs and thighs in in order to keep from floating away. On top of it you'd cracked the flush as quick as you could, in disgusted fear that it would fly back up. Even liquid hung in droplets here. You were taking no chances and it had given you a strange satisfaction to have it flushed out, and even stranger with air and not water. Letting your helmet suspend in the air, you firmly tighten the suit around your body before opening the door to join the others. They seemed to be further down the corridor, discussing something at the far back.

"What's going on?" you shout out loud. Somehow they'd convinced Hoseok on turning on the oxygen entirely, giving everyone a relief from the helmets. As nice as it was to leave that confinement it was embarrassing, moreover for you, a woman, to have your hair airborne and depict you as what the others had come to name-

"Medusa!" Taehyung shouts, waving you over. That causes a ripple of laughter to echo through the spaceship. You roll your eyes, making your way towards them. The way everyone glided in the corridor made you feel like you were all ghosts or something. Jin presses a water bag to his lips as he looks at you a little concerned with the way you were holding your stomach. This spaceship thing was taking a toll on your body and it was truly horrible. The throbbing headache did not see to go away no matter how much water you drank and your stomach was feeling extremely queasy. No doubt you'd lost some color in your skin. Despite that, you can't help feeling a little concerned for him. He'd been the last to wake and had taken so long that Hoseok had begun to believe the man had actually been asleep instead of unconscious. He'd also only just submitted himself to the psychological shock some ten minutes ago.

"How you doing?" you ask him, watching his Adam's apple bob as he drinks. He lets out a satisfied sigh before turning to you. "I should be asking you that. Me, I feel fine."

"He has healing powers," Namjoon reminds you, resting against the wall. "They're keeping him in good shape."

The powers. Your eyes widen in recognition as you turn back to Seokjin, seeing him once again with that pregnant glow filter. You'd forgotten that your abilities still existed. If anything, you'd assumed that without ARMY you'd no longer be special. In fact, you'd be powerless. Yet you had communicated so naturally with Jungkook.

"Help me out," you beg Jin giving him glassy puppy eyes. "It's killing me now."

"Did Yoongi hyung go to sleep already?" Jungkook inquires, looking around curiously. "I'm here," Yoongi announces at once, literally lying on his side in the air. He wears a satisfied grin on his face, happy that he did not need a bed to be able to lie down.

"Don't you think we should choose the sleeping chambers fairly?" Namjoon suggests.

"What's to choose?" you shrug. "They're all literally the same."

"Guys look!" Taehyung says loudly, suddenly. Of everyone, he's the most elated to be here. He'd gone through it all, the studies, the program, the dream and for him to really be here was beyond incredible. His excitement could hardly contain itself in his figure. Almost immediately after he'd woken up he'd gone round touching everything like he'd never seen it before. His laughter and bright spirit had filled some sort of light into the entire vehicle and he was everywhere at once.

"What?"

He's all the way at the back, pressing himself against the hexagonal glass back there. "You have to come here. You have to look at this."

Everyone follows him, bouncing weightlessly through the ship. Walking and getting to places took so much longer than they did in the presence of gravity. Unsurprisingly, Jungkook arrives there first followed by Jin and then you. You crowd behind their backs, trying to get a peek of what they were looking at. Cramped in the space that acted like a little pit were little windows through which you could look outside. You'd never seen this part of the ship clearly or understood its purpose because of the rockets down under. But now...those little windows had a whole new view to offer.
