And I'll be with him, on that midnight train to Georgia, I'd rather live in his world than be without him, in mine.

I've never been one to think about love, love at first sight, or following the love of your life wherever they go.

It's all bullsh*t to me anyway.

But when I listen to Gladys Knight and the Pips' version of 'Midnight Train to Georgia', I begin to think that being in love isn't such a bad thing.

That song, was originally written and recorded by Jim Weatherly, he wrote it for his friends who were leaving Los Angeles for Houston, Texas. They were a couple actually, the woman suddenly wanted to go home, the man decides to pack up everything and leave his place of birth in Los Angeles to follow the love of his life to Houston.

I guess he really loved her.

So anyway, the song was first called 'Midnight Plane to Houston', but then the wonderful Whitney Houston's mother Cissy Houston wanted to do a cover of the song, so that's how the name changed to what it is now.

Then when the wonderful Gladys Knight heard that new version, she also decided to do a cover of it. This is just another example of how music travels through time, and how it's able to touch people.

But that's not the point.

Jim Weatherly's friend was willing to follow one woman to unknown territory, all because he deeply loved her and didn't want to lose her.

Yet here I am being so afraid to just act upon my feelings because I'm worrying over scenarios that might not happen.  

After splashing some cold water on my face, I begin pacing back and forth in the small bathroom. I feel like I couldn't breathe the entire time I've been sitting beside Taehyung. 

It's because that little weirdo won't stop staring at me!

And to make matters even worse, he keeps on taking food from his plate and putting in onto mine, every time he does that our arms brush against each other and I can't help but shiver excitedly at the feeling. 

He hasn't said anything to me after his small speech about us having a discussion after, he's just being his usual self; talking, laughing, and showing aegyo to his manager Sejin. He seems to be having the time of his life while I'm here in a small bathroom freaking out!

I sigh deeply as someone knocked on the door, "yes, I'll be done in a second." 

Like seriously, this is the bathroom for people with disabilities, I didn't see anyone in a wheelchair or anything, so who could it be? 

With one last encouraging look in the mirror and a deep breath, I move towards the door and unlock it. But to my surprise, I'm gently being pushed backwards as someone enters.

My breathing increases as he locks the door and looks at me. "What are you doing?"

He leans on the door and crosses his arms, "I can no longer pretend that everything is alright with me, you ran away from me already so I have to make sure you won't do it again."

I roll my eyes at him, "by locking me in a bathroom stall?"

He nods his head vigorously but he still manages to put on a soft smile as he looks at me, "I missed you. Why haven't you been answering my calls? Or my messages?"

I shrug my shoulders, "I've just been busy with school...and life. You know how it is."

I can't believe we're doing small talk right now. 

"I understand, but you could have at least replied to one message. I was so sad that you ignored me," I look up at him to see his famous pout on his face. 

I sigh miserably, "what are we doing right now Kim Taehyung? If you're going to shout at me for ignoring you for six days then get on with it, if you're here to find out why I ran out on you after we...then do it. Just don't stand there with that happy face of yours and pretend that you didn't confess to me six days ago!" 

I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I try to calm myself down, "you want me shout at you? Should I get angry? Is that what you want Mi Na?"

I've finished editing this story, I took care of spelling, and grammar errors. And I also fixed the sentence structure in all the chapters, so everything should be easier to read :)

Chapter 57: I just binge read this whole story in like 6-7 hours. I have to say, this is by far one of my favorite stories I’ve read. I’d hope for a sequel, as I’d like to see how you depict their future from her on out, but I like how you left it off, it felt complete. Thank you for writing such a great story!

Chapter 4: Her cocky attitude and lack of respect towards someone older turns me off. I get it she's like a musical genius and producer but hey can you keep your head over your shoulders and not over the clouds?
