Chapter 25

~AUGUST 25 ; INSIDE THE PRIVATE PLANE~

After BTS' concert in Paris and after Yeonae got dismissed from the hospital, they are now entering the private plane that will bring them to Japan for their next concert.

"I'm excited to go back to Japan!"

Exclaimed Taehyung excitedly as he enters the private plane.

"Me, too!"

Exclaimed Jungkook excitedly, too, as he follows Taehyung.

"Shut it, you two!"

Said Yoongi to both Taehyung and Jungkook as he enters the private plane.

"You're such a kill joy hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*)."

Said Jungkook to Yoongi as he takes a sit beside the window, pouts then cross his arms.

"Are you tired, Yeonae?"

Asked Namjoon to Yeonae who is sitting beside the window of the plane while listening to music.

"Yeonae?"

Called Seokjin to Yeonae as he touches her shoulder, making her go back to reality.

"Huh? Mwo (What)? Are you saying something?"

Asked Yeonae to both Seokjin and Namjoon as she takes off one of her earphones then looks at the two. Seokjin and Namjoon became very worried of Yeonae because of her appearance, she looks like she doesn't sleep well for half a month.

"Are you alright?"

Asked Seokjin to Yeonae as he takes a sit beside her and hold her hand.

"It looks like you really need to rest."

Said Namjoon as he steps closer to Yeonae to shove her hair that is covering her face.

"Yeah... yeah... maybe I just need some... some rest."

Replied Yeonae, not being sure of what she will reply to them.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

Asked Seokjin as he squeezes Yeonae's hand softly. Yeonae looks at him.

"Yeah. Never been okay... better."

Answered Yeonae to Seokjin's question as she smiles weakly at him with her sleepy eyes.

"Just... take some rest, okay?"

Said Namjoon as he sighed because of Yeonae's stubbornness and touches Yeonae's shoulder to assure her. Yeonae looks at Namjoon and smile at him weakly.

"Okay."

Replied Yeonae to Namjoon while still smiling at him weakly.

"Sweet dreams, Yeonae."

Said Seokjin to Yeonae while smiling at her.

"Same to you, too."

Replied Yeonae to Seokjin as she smiles back at him weakly. Seokjin squeezes Yeonae's hand for the last time and gets up from his seat to transfer to another seat to let Yeonae have her alone time with herself.

Yeonae plugs in her earphone in her ears and then closes her eyes to sleep. Namjoon touches Yeonae's hair.

"Please don't let them get into you."

Whispered Namjoon to Yeonae then kisses her head. Suyeon takes a sit in front of Yeonae and stared at her for a while.

"It's slowly consuming her."

Said Suyeon with a worried expression on her face as she continues staring at Yeonae who is peacefully asleep.

"Mwo (What)?"

Asked Namjoon to Suyeon with a confused expression on his face.

"She's slowly giving up."

Answered Suyeon to Namjoon's question as she slowly looks at Namjoon with a worried expression.

"I'm really worried for her."

Said Jimin, who is sitting behind Jungkook, to both Namjoon and Suyeon while he's looking at Yeonae.

"Me, too."

Said Yoongi too while looking at Yeonae with a little bit of worry on his face.

"What should we do?"

Asked Jungkook to all of them as he looks each one of them.

"Let her get it all out."

Answered Seokjin to Jungkook's question as he spread his arms out.

"But what if she doesn't want to?"

Asked Hoseok, who is sitting beside the plane's window, in front of Jungkook, to them with a curious expression on his face.

"Let's make her feel that we will always be by her side, no matter what."

Answered Suyeon to Hoseok's question with a determined expression on her face.

"Let us be her Polaris."

Added Namjoon to what Suyeon has said to all of them. All of them looks at each other with a determined expression on their faces.

"Did you guys write her something?"

Asked Suyeon to the seven as she looks at each one of them.

"Ne (Yes). We wrote her a letter. One from each of us."

Answered Yoongi to Suyeon's question while smiling.

"Good to know. I don't know if I'll be able to write one for her."

Replied Suyeon to Yoongi's answer to her question. You can tell with her voice that she's a little bit down for not being able to write some for Yeonae that may be able to cheer her up.

"She'll understand you, Suyeon nuna (older girl/sister *male to female*)."

Said Namjoon as he walks towards Suyeon to caress her shoulder to cheer her up. Suyeon sigh.

"I hope so. Being your staff isn't easy."

Replied Suyeon as she looks at the seven while pouting.

"Then why did you apply for it?"

Asked Seokjin to Suyeon confusedly.

"I'm desperate for money that time."

Answered Suyeon to Seokjin's question as she looks away from them then crosses her arms.

"Why didn't you quit when you already have money?"

Asked Hoseok to Suyeon with narrowed eyebrows.

"I'm already attached with you."

Answered Suyeon to Hoseok's question as she looks at them while smiling. All of them smiles back at her.

"Aww~ That's so sweet of you, Suyeon nuna (older girl/sister*)~!"

Said Jimin as he makes a flower pose.

"Quiet. She's already sleeping."

Said Yoongi to Jimin as he glares at him. Jimin looks at Yoongi as he covers his mouth.

"Mian hamnida (I'm sorry)."

Apologized Jimin to Yoongi as he stood up and bows at him.

"Let's just take some rest, okay?"

Said Suyeon to all of them as she tells Jimin to sit down. Namjoon, Yoongi and Seokjin sigh due to their worry for Yeonae. While Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin and Hoseok nods.

"Ne (Yes)."

Replied all of them in harmony to Suyeon while looking at her. Suyeon gave them a smile, then Taehyung suddenly yawn.

"I'm already sleepy."

Said Taehyung who is sitting beside Jungkook as he places the blindfold on his eyes and then leans his head to Jungkook's shoulder.

"Sweet dreams, boys~"

Said Suyeon to all of them while still smiling at them. Taehyung fell asleep on Jungkook's shoulder very quickly. Jungkook stares at the window of the plane with tired eyes. Jimin quickly fell asleep with blindfolds covering his eyes. Namjoon takes a sit behind Yeonae, plugs his earphone in both his ears and phone then started listening to music. Seokjin takes a sit in front of Namjoon then started tapping on his phone. Yoongi takes a sit beside Jimin, plugs in his earphone to both his ears and phone then close his eyes after he presses the play button in his music player. And Hoseok takes a sit in front of Jimin and Yoongi.

Suyeon looks away from then and stares at Yeonae, who is now sleeping peacefully in front of her. She looks at her with pity in her eyes then looks away. A little while later, Suyeon looks back at Yeonae. She panicked a little when she saw tears falling down Yeonae's cheeks while she's still asleep.

She stood up from her seat, walk towards Yeonae, then wipe her tears. Suyeon tries to calm Yeonae down by humming a song that always makes her calm.

"What's happening?"

Asked Seokjin so suddenly to Suyeon as he stands up from his seat and walk towards Suyeon and Yeonae.

"Yeonae's crying while she's still asleep."

Answered Suyeon to Seokjin's question as she continues to wipe Yeonae's tears.

"She must've been hurt so badly."

Said Jimin as he removes his blindfold then looks at Suyeon, Yeonae and Seokjin.

"Who wouldn't?"

Asked Yoongi to Jimin as he looks at him while his earphones are still plugged in his ears. Jimin glimpse at Yoongi then looks back at Yeonae with a worried expression.

"I can't take it to see her cry like that."

Said Jungkook while looking at Yeonae with teary eyes. Taehyung suddenly wakes up from his sleep, removes his blindfold then takes a look at Jungkook.

"We either."

Replied Namjoon to what Jungkook said as he removes his earphones from his ears, making Taehyung a little bit confused of what was going on. But then he already knew when he looks at Yeonae who has tears falling down from her eyes.

"I hope our letters can cheer her up for at least a little bit."

Said Taehyung to them while still looking at Yeonae with a worried expression.

"I hope so, too."

Said Hoseok while he's looking at Yeonae with a worried expression.

"She's only 19 years old, but she managed to come with us. Even if she'll be living her family and friends to pursue her dream."

Said Namjoon as he turns around to face Suyeon and caress Yeonae's head.

"She has the spirit of a warrior. She came all the way here to pursue her dream to be an international artist like us."

Said Seokjin as he also wipes Yeonae's tears falling down to her cheeks.

"That is why I really love that young woman. If I were still her age, I'd rather stay with my family than leave them to pursue my dream. She's too pure for the world to let them contaminate her."

Replied Suyeon as she fixes Yeonae's hair and wipe the tears that continues to fall from Yeonae's eyes.

"I want to do everything I can to protect her. To protect my best friend."

Said Jungkook to all of them with a determined expression on his face.

"I want to protect her as well."

Said Taehyung to them as he sits up straight, making himself look determined.

"We all are."

Replied Hoseok to both Jungkook and Taehyung while still looking at Yeonae.

"Okay. For now, let's just rest."

Said Suyeon to them as she goes back at her seat, still with a worried expression on her face.

"She'll overcome it. I can feel it."

Said Yoongi as he looks at Suyeon and gave her a smile. Suyeon smiles back at Yoongi. But then, Yeonae's tears started to fall once again.

"Oh my god. Here it goes again. Hmm~"

Said Suyeon as she stood up from her seat again, wipes Yeonae's tears and hums the song that she's humming to her a little while ago.

"What song is that Suyeon nuna (older girl/sister *male to female*)?"

Asked Jimin to Suyeon as he looks at her with a curious expression. Suyeon smiles as she fixes Yeonae's hair once again.

"It's a song that my eomeoni (mother) always sing to me when I'm still young."

Answered Suyeon to Jimin's question as she goes back to her seat while looking at Yeonae.

"We will always be by your side, Yeonae."
