An improbable Love Story || kth

Worlds away

~~~

Somehow the chaotic trio of us three made it to the airport on time for our flight bound to Seoul. Spring break had come around a lot sooner than I had expected and the next thing I knew I was packing all of my belongings for a two week vacation half way across the world.

Although it was Taehyung who got up later, it was Jimin who took his sweet time getting ready to go and almost made us late. Nevertheless, Taehyung, Jimin and I found ourselves in line for the check-in.

"Mmmh we should definitely get a coffee when we get through security", Jimin suggested after rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Nah, coffee's disgusting", Taehyung grimaced and leaned against his suitcase handle.

"You're disgusting", the elder scowled at his friend, seemingly offended by his comment.

"Well you're shor-", the younger started, but I quickly cut him off before another argument could break out.

"Anyway! Who are we gonna stay with again once we get to Seoul?"

"Well... Jin and Yoongi share an apartment and they have an extra room, so we figured we'd stay there", Taehyung explained as if he wasn't too sure about the situation himself, "But Namjoon has a place too just in case, so..."

"...So you planned the whole trip but we don't know where we're sleeping?", I raised an eyebrow at my oh so trusty boyfriend.

"Ah, it'll be fine", he waved me off, "Jimin will sleep on the floor if he has to."

"I will not!", the other boy interfered.

I let out a sigh before the two started arguing again and was almost glad when my phone chimed with a new message. Looking down at the display, I opened the email I had just received from my art history professor. After nervously reading through it, I furrowed my brow in confusion.

"You guys-", I called for their attention.

"And Jungkookie's gonna demolish you in Overwatch!", Jimin was taking a jab at Taehyung.

"I don't even like Overwatch!", he shot back angrily.

"GUYS!", I almost grabbed them both by the collar, but the two finally turned their heads towards me in curiosity.

"What?", they said in unison.

"My art history professor just sent me an email saying he wants to enter my painting in an upcoming art competition", I huffed, slightly overwhelmed.

"What painting?", Jimin tilted his head.

"The still life one that Taehyung and I had to hand in a few weeks ago", I gave a short explanation.

"That's amazing, Charlotte!", Taehyung immediately gushed, taking both of my hands into his in excitement, "I knew he'd love it!"

"B-but it wasn't even that good...", I frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the praise, "It took me ages to finish the painting and it cost me many hours of sleep and in the end it was just..."

"Breathtaking", Taehyung completed my sentence for me with a supportive grin, "You have so much damn talent, it's insane."

"If I'm so freaking talented, why did it take me two full weeks and an extension of the deadline to finish the thing?", I pouted, remembering how much I struggled with the time and how often I went back to perfect the artwork.

"You're just slow, Charlotte", he smiled coyly, "In everything. You're the slowest worker I've ever seen, but you come up with such amazing things. And let's not even talk about how slow you were in realizing your feelings for me."
