"Yeah, I'm just getting on the plane," Tiana speaks into the phone as she puts her suitcase in the overhead locker. 

"Okay, great! Let me know when you arrive at the Incheon International airport so I can pick you up," Namjoon replies.

Tiana first saw Namjoon at an underground rap show in Boston. He went under the name RM and was known for rapping in Korean. People couldn't really describe what exactly it was that they admired about his rapping, but the crowd went crazy when he starting sharing his story. 

She ran into Namjoon on the subway one day and recognized him immediately. She approached him and complimented him on his rapping. They had conversed with one another for so long that they both missed their stops on the subway. Tiana was surprised to find out that he was a freshman in college like her. She was also surprised to find out that he was an international student from Korea studying psychology at Harvard University. After that encounter, they exchange numbers and started building up a friendship.

"Thank you for everything, Joon, really," Tiana responds.

She sits down in her seat and plays around with the mini screen.

"No problem! Anything you need, I got you," he says.

Tiana smiles in response. She knows what Namjoon says is no lie. Even when he moved back to Korea for graduate school, he still did his best to help her whenever she needed it.

"You don't know how excited I am to see you again in person!" He says.

People walk past Tiana on the plane with their suitcases to find their seats and put their bags in an overhead bin.

"I bet! And I was so lucky to study abroad in Seoul while you were looking for a roommate," Tiana says happily.

Namjoon chuckles. 

"Me too," he says.

"Hi, this your captain speaking," the speaker blares on the plane.

"I got to put my phone on airplane mode, Joon. I'll see you in 14 hours!" Tiana says.

"Okay, see you then!" He says before hanging up.

Tiana puts her phone on airplane mode and places it on her lap. She watches the video on the screen go over the procedures of what flight attendants expect the passengers to do during the flight. She cringes when a flight attendant says that you can blow up the lifevest by put your mouth on the straw-like tube and blowing into it. 

"I don't know who's mouth has already been on that or how long those lifevests have been put away," she thinks.

Tiana buckles herself before shutting her eyes and zoning out the safety procedures coming from the plane's speaker. It's 3 a.m and she doesn't think she can stay up much longer. She wants to make sure she has enough rest so that when she arrives in Seoul, she will have enough energy to spend the day with Namjoon. She drifts asleep while thinking of all the things Namjoon and her will do in Seoul together.

Tiana wakes up to something wet landing on her pants. She opens her eyes and sees a dark spot on her right sweatpants leg.

"I'm so sorry," a soft and panicked voice says.

She brings her attention to a young Asian boy whose blonde hair peeked from his white hoodie. He has very plump pink lips that formed a pout as he rushed to grab napkins for her.

"It's okay, it was just an accident," Tiana responds with a yawn.

She takes the napkins from the boy and pats them in the wet area.

"Sorry, I don't speak English well," he says with a slight accent.

Tiana repeated herself in Korean and the boy looks at her surprised.

"I'm really sorry. The plane is shaking a lot which caused my juice to spill on your sweats," the boy says. 

"Really? I didn't notice," Tiana responds.

"This is your captain speaking. We are having some turbulence right now. Due to the severity of the weather, we are going to stop at the LAX airport."

"Well, I guess you were right," Tiana says before laughing. "I must have been so tired, I didn't notice."

The boy smiles at her.

"I'm Jimin, by the way. What's your name?" He asks.

"Tiana."

"Ti-sorry can you help me," he says before chuckling.

He rubs the back of his neck while his eyes crinkle into small crescent moons.

"Tea-ah-nah," Tiana responds.

Jimin repeats her and smiles widely at her when she nods her head to indicate that he said it right.

"You have a pretty name," he says.

"Thank--"

The plane starts jolting violently. Some gasps are heard on the plane before somebody screams. The plane is filled with screams from crying babies and children. People break on it a panic when the oxygen masks fall down in front of everyone. People rush to grab theirs and put them on. Tiana and Jimin look at each other in pure fright. The feeling Tiana is having is similar to the feeling of going down a roller coaster. She looks to her left and watches clouds moving upward.

"I think we are--"

Tiana's head runs into the front seat as she feels herself blacking out. She feels, who she presumes to be, Jimin shaking her and calling her name, but it's useless. She is already falling into the darkness.
