"You went back for a book?" Jungkook lets out a strangled laugh and lets his head thump back against the wall, back pressed to it, knees drawn into his chest.
"I wanted to surprise you."
Jungkook feels tears prickling at the edges of his eyes again as he digs a small, thin book from the large pocket in his new pants. The Little Prince. "Me too."
The silence fills the room; no one is talking, all of them looking at the boy curled up against the wall, cradling the speaker to his cheek, a book resting in his lap, an entire ocean caught in his eyelashes.
"We're coming back for you," Jungkook says, wiping at his tears.
The first man snaps around and is about to say something when Jungkook swipes his hand across his own neck a couple of times--don't. The man falters and keeps quiet.
"You are?"
"Hell yeah we are. I'll pilot this damn ship myself if I have to."
"You've always wanted to be a pilot."
"I did," Jungkook says, a small laugh pressing passed his lips.
Jimin's always remembered, even when Jungkook didn't, "and now I am--I guess dreams really do come true."
This time, Jimin laughs. And to Jungkook, it sounds like damnation. It sounds like salvation.
