A Turn of Events

I shouted and leaped back. Why? I was lying on Taehyung's shoulder with the armrest up and his arm around me. Instantly a hand clamped over my mouth making it seem muffled as if I was talking in my sleep. Taehyung glanced at me with sleep-ridden eyes.

"Good morning to you too, and please be quiet you're gonna wake them up" He gestures to the passengers. I shook his hand away and glared at him.

"What is the meaning of this, Why am I on your shoulder, I'm pretty sure I slept on the side of the windowsill and when did the armrest even go up and WHY ARE YOU IN MY BLANKET?"I ask in horror.

"It's actually my blanket, yours is on the ground, let me explain to you before you get the wrong idea, you were uncomfortable on the windowsill so you turned on your other side but the armrest was bothering you so I pulled it up but then you fell on me and had already taken my blanket. I didn't want to disturb you so I let you be" he says in one breath

I was horrified with myself. How could I lose control like that? What was I even thinking? Why didn't he wake me up? What does he think of me? What if he tells the media that he was on a plane with a clingy woman? What if someone took pictures? What if the word gets out? Will I lose my job? What will happen to the others? What about Lauren? Where will she work? THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! The thoughts raced through my head faster than light could travel.

"Um are you okay?" he asked with concerned eyes.

Almost after he said that my thoughts almost melted away. I realized that I had a panic attack in my head.

"Fine… I'm so sorry" I apologized again and again, and he said it was okay again and again.

Suddenly the pilot's voice boomed from the speaker saying that we would land in ten minutes. WHAT? That wasn't even enough time to get ready. I apologized to Taehyung again and ran to the restroom cleaning up and basically self- encouraging myself for the meeting. When I got back to my seat, I buckled up and ran over my schedule. I suddenly noticed Taehyung squirming in his seat.

"Um, Are you alright?" I say concerned

"F-fine it's just I'm always jerky during the landing. Um… this is going to sound weird but can I please hold your hand if you don't mind". He asks

I was going to say no but he looked like he was going to throw up so I nodded. Plus I felt kind of bad for him

As the plane touched the ground his hand tightened around mine, squeezing a little too hard. I winced and he looked at me apologetically

"Sorry," he says softly.

As the plane came to a stop he quickly let my hand go.

"Thank you" he smiled at me.

"No problem"

I flexed my fingers, examining them for any broken bones and sighed in relief when I saw it was working just fine. As I was getting up to walk to the exit I saw Taehyung with some other people, maybe the members of his band. There were cameras around them, the thing that surprised me was how they were laughing and joking like it was nobody's business, their interaction made it look like no one was recording them and they were being themselves, which is hard for the stars as they usually stiffen up and act fake on TV. Then one fateful day their true colors come out.

As I was leaving the airport I caught Taehyung's eye, he waved at me mouthing goodbye and smiling, I smiled and waved back. I wondered if I would ever get to see him again. I guess they weren't as bad as I thought they were…but that doesn't mean I like that distracting music.

I stepped outside and looked around me. I spotted a red Maserati in the sea of black cars. The guy from the Maserati walked out and towards me, thinking it was for me, I was going to greet him but he walked past me. Then suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around and saw a short man with an entirely blue outfit including a navy blue hat and gloves. I realized he was my driver, I looked behind him and saw a white Mercedes, I suddenly got that weird gut feeling that said something wasn't right but I shoved it away and put on a small smile.

"Are you Miss Nicole from N.C Industries?"

"Yes, are you Bob?"

He nodded and took my bags putting it into the trunk, I slid into the car. I looked out the window and saw seven figures getting into the red Maserati…lucky.

"We will be there in another twenty minutes," said Bob

"Okay"

I was going over my documents but I couldn't concentrate since I had this unsettling feeling in my stomach, so I put my laptop away and sighed… What was wrong with me? Was I excited? Probably not. Was something going to go wrong? Maybe not. Then why was I so restless?

Suddenly the car swerved into a dark alley and came to an abrupt stop.

"What's happening?" I ask

"I'm sorry miss, something must be wrong with the tire. I will be back in a minute" he replies

"Alright," I say

He walks off to get a car jack. Five minutes later I hear a clang and something falling on the ground. I climb out of the car only to be grabbed from behind.

"If you don't want the driver to get hurt you will quietly come with us"

I was terrified. Was I getting mobbed? I nodded while trembling and got dragged away into a room at the corner of the alley. It was a dark room with a dim light in the middle, there was a table and two chairs, on one of them sat a man who looked familiar. They put me on the other chair.

"What is this? Police questioning?" although I doubt they would question me in a corner of a dark alley.

"Hello Miss Nicole I am Sejin and I'm the one who called you here for the fashion event," said the man

Wait ...What? Why would he drag me here to talk if I was just going to go there anyway? I suspected there was more to it than just a fashion event.

"Let me explain to you why you're here and not in the company, you see… I have come to make a deal.
