Chapter Text
'' Jungkook, put on your seatbelt already. No excuses.'' Jin snapped, turning in his seat to eye the maknae sitting right behind him.
'' I'm doing it hyung. Relax.'' Jungkook shot back, clicking his seat belt into place before tightening it. Jimin already had his seat belt on beside Jungkook, Taehyung as well, who was checking his phone really quick.
'' Remember to turn that off Tae.'' Jin reminded. '' You don't want to cause any problems.'' He stated.
'' I know.'' Taehyung shot back, quickly shutting his phone off to put it in his pocket. '' I felt it buzz. I just wanted to check and make sure it wasn't something important.'' Taehyung explained. Jin understood this, so he did not say another word. Jin saw movement on his right, and turned to see what the others were up to. Yoongi was sitting across the aisle from where he was sitting. He had the row to himself somehow, which was surprising given that this flight was supposed to be full. Namjoon and Hoseok both took up the seats beside him, Hoseok taking the aisle while Namjoon was beside Jin. Jin turned back to face the seat in front of him. This was going to be one long flight. They were flying over to Japan, and while it did not feel very long distance wise it was going to take awhile to get there.
'' Time for a nap.'' Jin heard Namjoon mumble as he made himself comfortable. Jin could see that Yoongi was already well on his way to falling asleep, his neck pillow on comfortably. Hoseok was reading over some lyrics he had been working on for his mix tape the last few weeks. He had brought the notebook with him to work on it since he had been stuck on the last few verses for the song. Jin hoped that a few hours on the plane would help him find some inspiration.
Jin sat back, and put in his headphone's as the plane took off a moment later. Everything seemed to be going just fine, no one really complaining. Jin felt that this was going to be a worry free flight for once this year.
That's when he began to notice that something felt off.
As the plane gained altitude he noticed that there was a very loud sound coming from somewhere close by. It was much louder then anything he had heard on a plane before. It was like some sort of a roar, as if someone had opened the window to listen to the engine. But that was not possible, the windows could not be opened. He glanced over to where the others were sitting. Yoongi looked just as confused as he was across the aisle. Namjoon did not even seem to notice, and neither did Hoseok. The two were to engrossed in what ever it was they were doing. Jin glanced back to the maknae line sitting behind him. All three of them looked a little nervous as they looked around the plane.
'' Hyung, what's that noise?'' Jungkook asked.
'' I'm not sure Kookie.'' Jin said.
A moment later they saw a flight stewardess rushing down the aisle towards the pilots cabin. This concerned Jin even more. Something was seriously wrong here.
'' Namjoon.'' Jin snapped, turning to face the leader. He had his sound proof headphones on. Jin frowned, reaching out to pull the head set off his head.
'' Hey!'' Namjoon snapped, reaching to grab the head set. '' What are you doing?'' Jin asked.
'' Don't you hear that?'' Jin asked. There was silence for a moment, and then Namjoon's face grew from annoyed to worried.
'' What is that sound?'' Namjoon mumbled.
'' I hear it to.'' Hoseok stated, his notebook forgotten on the tray table. He had a look of fear on his face. '' Hyung, what is that sound?'' He asked.
'' I'm not sure?''
Another flight stewardess ran down the aisle, nearly bowling over a second as she made her way slowly towards the back.
'' Please, everyone, remain seated. Do not take off your seat belts. We are going to make an emergency landing. Please, remain calm, we are making an emergency landing.'' She stated as she walked by. All seven members looked to each other in fear.
What was going on?
Jin turned to look out the window, watching as the plane took a sharp turn to go back to the airport. He heard Hoseok yelp beside him as the plane shook slightly, but Namjoon was quick to calm him down. Jin watched as the plane turned, but as it did he noticed something off to the left that he had not seen before.
The engine was on fire.
Black smoke billowed from the engine into the air, throwing soot against the white metal of the plane. Jin nearly screamed at the sight as he turned back around in his seat.
'' Oh god.'' He whispered, terror running ramped through his body.
The engine was on fire.
Why did this have to happen to them?
Why now?
'' Jin, what's the matter?'' Namjoon asked, grabbing his arm.
'' The engine...... Namjoon, the engine's on fire.'' Jin stated, terror in his voice. Namjoon's head whipped around to look out the window, and the same terror that Jin felt quickly filled him.
'' Hyung? What's happening?'' Jungkook asked from behind him, terror in his voice.
'' Just stay calm Kookie.'' Jin said. '' It's going to be ok, just try to stay calm.'' He stated.
'' THE ENGINES ON FIRE!'' Someone cried out from the back of the plane. Screams erupted around them. Jin turned around to find the maknae line in complete terror. Jungkook was spun around in his seat trying to see out the window, his hands shaking as they gripped the armrests for dear life. Taehyung was trying to get the maknae to turn around in his seat, but it was clear that he wanted to see just as bad as he did. Taehyung was also shaking, his hands barely able to hold onto Jungkook's arm to pull him back. Jimin just looked terrified, his face going as white as a sheet. He was shaking, tears building up in his eyes. Jin's gaze found its way over to Yoongi across the aisle. The second oldest was trying desperately to stay calm, gripping the arm rests for dear life as he slammed his eyes shut. He looked like he was going to scream.
Jin did hear Hoseok scream. When he looked over to the dancer he saw that he was fighting back his terror, his breathing coming much faster then normal. Namjoon was clutching his hand, trying to calm Hoseok down however he could. That was hard to do, however, when he was also terrified about what was happening.
The plane began to shake more as it leveled out, and it was not long before a stewardess came running up the aisle.
'' Please remain seated! Stay calm, it's going to be o-''
She never finished as the plane gave a violent jolt. She was sent sprawling to the floor, her head striking one of the armrests as she went down. She was laying on the floor right beside where the maknae's were sitting. Jimin screamed at the sight as his tears finale fell.
'' HYUNG, I'M SCARED!'' Jungkook shouted.
'' It's going to be ok.'' Jin stated. He tried to reach back to Jungkook to grab his hand. Their fingers barely brushed against each other before another bone rattling jolt broke them apart. Jin spun back around, but kept his head turned around as best as he could. '' Just stay calm Jungkook. It's going to be ok, just stay calm.'' Jin said.
A moment later the oxygen masks descended from the ceiling, dangling lifelessly before them. This made Jin's heart beat explode. He reached up with shaky hands to grab ahold of the item, and held it against his face. He glanced back to find that the others were also doing the same. Jungkok needed some help from Taehyung because he was far to shaky to get the strap over his head to hold it in place. Jungkook was breathing so erratically now that Jin feared he would pass out from lack of air.
The plane gave a very harsh jerk, and Jin felt himself leave his seat. He was slammed right back into it as the plane began to turn onto its side. He did scream at this point, his hands groping for anything that he could grab ahold of. He found Namjoon's tight grip around his hand a moment later.
'' Hyung... What do we do?'' Namjoon begged his voice panicked.
'' I don't know.'' Jin answered. The plane righted itself, and then it continued to shake uncontrollably. He saw movement out of the corner of his eyes. He was horrified to find that Hoseok was coming out of his seat.
His seat belt had broken.
'' HOBI!'' Jin shouted, pointing to him. Namjoon spun around, and watched as he was lifted from the seat as if he were a rag doll. He reached out, wrapping his arms around the boys waist to try and hold him in place. Jimin had sat forward in his own chair to reach out and grab his shoulders. Yoongi was trying to reach him from across the aisle, but his arms were not long enough to reach him. Hoseok was screaming, arms flailing for anything that he could use to hold himself down. He was absolutely terrified, and none of them blamed him after what had just happened.
Namjoon managed to get Hoseok back into his chair. He had to use his own arms as his seat belt, the leather far to broken to use as a restraint. Hoseok was screaming bloody murder at this point, gipping onto his chair for dear life. Jin spun around to see the maknae line, and found that they were screaming as well. Jin looked out the window, and found that the engine was spewing flames now. They had almost fully engulfed the left wing. Jin spun around to face the others. Yoongi looked about ready to panic as they locked eyes.
They were going to die here.
'' BRACE FOR IMPACT!'' Someone shouted. It sounded like the captain over the intercom.
Jin heard a shout from behind him, and then there was a deafening boom. The plane shook hard, and he heard scraping metal. Had they already hit the ground?
The last thing he heard was Jungkook's scream behind him, and then he was pulled into darkness.
---
When Jin woke up again he knew nothing but pain.
His entire left side felt like it was on fire, everything aching. He wrenching the oxygen mask from his face with a lazy hand, choking when smoke entered his lungs. He reached over to find Namjoon still beside him. The leader was not moving, slumped over onto the seat that Hoseok had been in moments before.
Or, what is hours?
'' Namjoon?'' Jin called out. '' Namjoon, can you hear me?''
There was no answer.
Jin moved to undo his seat belt. It was rather hard to do given that his hands were shaking so badly. He managed to undo it, and turned sideways in his seat to find the others.
The maknae line behind him were starting to come around. However, he realized that there was something wrong.
Where was Jimin?
He had been sitting on the aisle, and now his seat was vacant.
'' Jimin?'' Jin called out, his words slurred slightly. Jin moved to try and stand. Namjoon was starting to move beside him. He could see that Namjoon was still holding on tightly to Hoseok, who was out cold. There was blood on the dancers head, which told Jin that he must have been struck by something in the crash. Jin managed to get to a stand, and found where Jimin was at.
He had moved from his seat to stand beside Yoongi. The rapper was bent over himself, blood streaming from a deep gash to his right arm. Jimin was desperately trying to tie off the wound with his jacket, but it was clear that it was not doing much good. Yoongi looked so dazed, so confused.
Jin tried to step forward to reach him.
He never made it.
The next thing he knew was more pain as a loud bang rang out around him. He was thrown forward, and he felt his side hit the seat so hard that he was sure there was damage. The last thing he heard was Jimin's cry of pain, and the maknae line screaming, and then everything was pulled into darkness.
