You're now waiting for the boys to get their luggage as you wait by the front of the plane.

The boys slowly start making their way off the plane one-by-one, each giving you a wave or smile as they walk off.

You give each of them a smile and wave at them as they leave.

Once Hoseok goes up to you, you can feel your palms getting sweaty. You're always so nervous to talk to him.

Biting onto your lower lip for a second, you look up at him as he makes his way towards you.

"It was nice seeing you, Hoseok." You say while smiling. "I'll see you again when I'm back on schedule to work." You say, a little hint of sadness in the tone of your voice as you say this.

You glance up at Hoseok and see that he's giving you a nervous look: one that you're not used to seeing on him.

He looks down for a few seconds, taking a deep breath before making eye contact with you once again.

This causes you to tilt your head to the side, already knowing he wants to tell you something.

"About that..." Hoseok mumbles.

Your heart sinks.

Did I do something wrong?

Is this their way of telling me they don't want me to be their stewardess anymore?

You panic internally as you stare at him, waiting for him to rip the band-aid off.

"I was hoping I could see you before then." He states.

What?

"What?" you ask.

He laughs softly at your response, nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Um..." he says.

"Oh gosh, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just thought you were going to tell me something else." You respond. His eyebrows lift as he looks over at you, a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Oh! Good." He says before softly laughing. You smile at his laugh and stare over at him, admiration present in your eyes. "What I meant is, I want to get to know you more. Would you be comfortable going on a date with me?" he questions.

You lift your eyebrows, cheeks immediately heating up as you grow shocked yet excited at the same time.

"A date?" you ask. He nods. You smile widely before nodding your head. "I'd like that." You respond.

His eyes widen as you say yes before he quickly shakes off his shocked expression, now sporting a happy one instead. He licks his lips and nods his head before taking his phone out of his pocket and gesturing to it.

"Cool. I'll text you and let you know when and where to meet me." he says.

You're about to agree before you realize.

Idols aren't allowed to be seen in public on dates.

I know we're in America but a lot of people here now know who BTS is.

"Wait," you start which causes him to pause. "How are we going to be able to go on a date when idols aren't supposed to date?"

He laughs softly.

"We date. We're just quiet about it." He responds. "We rent out places under different names, we bring security guards to make sure no one sees us, and we have a lot of safety protocols we take to keep us and our dates safe."

You nod your head.

"As long as you're allowed to and we can do this safely, I'm totally interested." You respond. He nods his head and smiles before leaning in to give you a quick hug.

"Cool. I'll text you all of the info later." He states before starting to make his way off of the plane.

"Sounds good." You say as he walks away. He nods his head and smiles back at you before giving one last quick wave. He then continues walking down the runway off of the plane and into the airport.

You smile to yourself as you attempt to process what just happened.

I'm going on a date with Jung Hoseok.

What kind of imaginary dream is this?

How the hell am I, of all people, being asked on a date by Jung Hoseok?

You shake your head to yourself and quickly reach your hand down towards your upper arm, immediately taking the skin on your arm between your index finger and thumb as you pinch yourself, fully convinced that you're in a dream.

Once you feel the pain and realize that you're not dreaming, a wide smile finds its way on your face. You look around to make sure that no one is around before doing a happy dance quickly.

Once you finish your celebration, you straighten out your uniform before making your way towards the area where the guys were to clean up the seats and wipe down the trays.

Once this is done, you get your own belongings before making your way off of the plane, onto the runway.

I have a date with Jung Hoseok.

*-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *-> *->

You're now in your hotel room, on the phone with Jisoo as she screams at you, nagging for you to get some new outfits for your date with Hoseok.

You hold the phone slightly away from your ear to prevent her from damaging your ear drum.

"What do you mean you're not going to buy a new outfit for your date with the Jung Hoseok?" she yells.

"I already have new dresses that I bought in LA!" you exclaim back.

"Pft, like a stupid, basic sundress is good enough to wear on a date with a member from BTS." She scolds. "You need a better option for an outfit!"

"I don't even know where this date is going to be yet! He said he'd text me but I think he's busy right now!"

You hear her let out a frustrated sound at the sound of your sentence.

"Well text him and ask him!"

"No! He said he'll let me know, I'm not going to make myself desperate despite the fact that I am." You respond.

"You better pick out a good outfit for the date when he does tell you where he's taking you." She states.

"Oh, trust me, I would rather jump off a cliff than show up to a date with Jung Hoseok wearing something ugly." You state.

You feel your heartbeat speeding up as you think about how this date is going to go.

Is he taking me to dinner?

I hope it's not a movie, I want to actually get to talk to him. Sitting in silence for two hours doesn't sound like the best setting to get to know him.

"Hello? Earth to Y/N?" you hear. This takes you out of your thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm here, sorry."

"Don't get nervous." She immediately advises. "I just want you to look good. When it comes to personality, you're good to go because you already know he likes you."

You nod your head.

"That's true. I mean, he wouldn't have asked me out in the first place if he thought anything about me was unattractive or annoying."

"Exactly. You're good to go. I just want to make sure you look extra pretty for him." You can practically hear the smile on his face.

"When I go shopping, I'll send you pictures of my options." You respond.

"Good! I recommend something red. Red is your color." She states. You let out a soft laugh.

"Thanks, Jisoo."

"Anytime." She states. "Well, I'll let you get back to freaking out about this date now. I'll text you."

"Sounds good. Talk to you later." You say before hanging up.

You glance around the hotel room and nod your head to yourself.

You know this date will go well. You already have a connection with Hoseok. The worst thing that could happen is Hoseok and you deciding you're better off as friends.

No harm, no foul.

You're interrupted by your thoughts when your phone beeps.

Hoseok: Hi Y/N! 😊 how do you feel about getting some coffee then going on a nice walk?

Y/N: Hi! That sounds fun, I'm down!

You immediately hit send and bite onto your lower lip as you smile widely at the thought of being able to hang out with Hoseok at a nice coffee shop.

Now I won't have to worry about getting food in my teeth. I can just order a coffee and a muffin. Much less room to embarrass myself.

Your phone beeps again and you open the message immediately.

Hoseok: Great! I'll see you then! 😊

You smile to yourself and nod before immediately dialing Jisoo's number once more.

"Bored without me already?" she answers. You let out a soft laugh.

"No, Hoseok just texted. We're having our date at a coffee shop then we're going to go for a walk." You respond.

"Cute!" she exclaims. "Go shopping now and FaceTime me when you find some outfit options!"

You nod your head and grin before hanging up quickly, a wide smile on your face once more as you immediately rush to get dressed so you can leave your hotel to find a nice outfit for your date.

Now onto what's going on in the world!

More than 100 people died in Brazil from the mudslides and flooding. If anyone is from Brazil or has family in Brazil, I hope you and your family are safe. It's very scary when natural disasters like this happen so my thoughts are with you.

That's the most news I've heard about the past few days, other than Kanye West calling people out on social media (which is ridiculous and childish bc he can literally reach out to them personally lol). So, I'm not going to waste my time talking about that.

I hope everyone is doing well! I recently just finished Love on the Pole, so now I can fully focus on posting chapters for this story.

Recently, I had a reader try to tell me not to talk about politics on my author's notes lol. To be frank, I can put whatever I like in these. I know most people don't read my author's notes anyway. So I figured I'd let everyone know that if you're not interested in my author's notes, I'm not forcing you to read them. You can just read the story if you like.

Thank you to those of you who do read these. I really appreciate all of you and I'm so thankful for you!

I purple you.
Kim 💜
