Chapter 12

After our night out we were at the airport ready to board the play to start our next leg of the tour. The North American leg. We were going to five cities, but we were in New York for a week and in LA for two weeks for interviews.

I was excited because I was going to be able to see Lena again for a bit.

As we got onto the plane I looked out at the beauty of Berlin, saying my last goodbyes to Europe.

"Ready for our next adventure?" Jungkook asked.

"Considering that next adventure is back home, I'm very ready," I beamed.

Time Skip

One ten-hour flight later we arrived in the Big Apple.

It was probably a thing in American cities but the airports were always really crowded with fans making it virtually impossible to move.

As we were walking I felt two hands grab mine. My right was grabbed by Jungkook and my left by Taehyung.

But thanks to their distractedness by the fans, I was able to slip both of my hands out of theirs and move away from them.

I'm not gonna get caught between them and I'm gonna keep my feelings in check. This is my home turf so I've got the willpower.

We had four shows in New York, one day full of interviews, and two days of exploring the city.

Today since we were all jet-lagged we decided to check-in and just enjoy a night to relax.

I got to my room and immediately retreated to the bed.

My mind kept wandering back to Jungkook and Taehyung grabbing my hands, Jungkook getting annoyed when Taehyung wanted to dance with me, Taehyung getting annoyed whenever Jungkook was talking to me.

"So now, Taehyung is leading me on, and I'm leading Jungkook on?" I groaned.

Honestly, Jungkook was a great guy. He really was. When we dated in high school he was the sweetest and most supportive guy out there. I had absolutely nothing against him. But I just don't love him like that anymore. It's been five years since we broke up and I moved on. And even seeing him now, sure he's attractive but I wouldn't say I'd date him again. I didn't hate him or anything, I just wasn't romantically in love with him.

Taehyung on the other hand, well I wasn't sure about my feelings. There's this strange spark that goes off when I'm with him. He makes me feel appreciated and though he doesn't know my history with his girlfriend, it feels like he silently accepts that part of me and still harbors some sort of feeling toward me. But then I remember that Taehyung is an overly affectionate person to everyone. So was I mistaking his friendship as something more the same way Jungkook was doing with me?

I shook my head trying to push those thoughts from my head.

After a nice hot shower and some room service I decided to go to sleep, ready to feel fresh and free for the next day.

2 Days Later

After I spent one of our free days setting up the venue, I decided to go out with the others for the second day.

"So where are we going today?" I asked.

"Well yesterday we saw the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Then Taehyung being the artsy guy he is wanted to see the Museum of Modern Art. So today we were thinking of hitting Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center," a manager said.

I visited New York a while ago with Lena after we had graduated college so I had already seen everything they talked about and more so I hadn't really missed out on much.
