"So it's all about glory and greed for fame isn't it?" I questioned as Jungkook told me about the change of schedule of the sailing queen. He let out a deep sigh and nodded.

"It's all that they need. British White Star Line is the biggest ship-building company yet. They want to climb the top of the mountain" he said clutching the steel wheel that was steering her.

I watched the horizon that was beaming the intense reflection of the burning sun. The temperature was getting high. We could feel the atmospheric changes as we were getting much closer to the equator. I was happy that we were finally able to get rid of the coldness of the Atlantic that made my teeth grind.

Jungkook invited me to the well-house, where the ship was being steered. It was my opportunity to drink my thirst out of curiosity about how things worked out here. Even though all the complicated gears and handles made no sense to me, it was amusing to watch how brilliantly Jungkook handled them. He was taking her on a smooth sail. 

The view from up there was spectacular. I traced my fingers down the glass of the window of the room. I could see the whole front deck and the ocean ahead like an article of painted blue clothing. Underneath my feet I felt the rage of the propellers, savagely cutting through the massive pressure of the water.

"Look there, we are here" I turned my head as Jungkook said, motioning his head towards the southeast direction.

I could see tiny itty bitty black dots in the thick blue sea. They could barely be defined as islands. You might be wondering why on earth our destination was a bunch of islands instead of England.

Well, some changes in plans had been made by the higher authorities.

Our route has changed to a surprise event for the passengers. As Jungkook told me, it was more than just to give a pleasurable experience and delightful surprise to the passengers onboard, it was just one stage of the plan that the owners of the Titanic and investors decided to gain their power and fame.

The Titanic being the biggest ship to exist in the world was a record itself but what if she make a record of the fastest ship to sail, and the strongest to bare a long journey?

That was the point those maniacs of the white star line were going to prove.

"Are you sure that the ship will be able to tolerate it?" I turned towards him who was sharply concentrating on the mounted lands ahead of us. He shook his head reluctantly, not being sure how to answer it.

"Normally for a ship, it'll be a hard ride. It won't bare it." He then looked down, insecurely stirring his thoughts. His head was hanging low.

"As the engineers said she's built to withstand all those conditions. So she'll hold it as far as I'm concerned" even though he said that I noticed that something was bothering him. I placed my palm on his shoulder.

"Your sounds otherwise. Is something off?" He looked up at me and smiled trying to convince me, more like he was trying to convince himself.

"I'm a little worried. Maybe it's nothing, maybe I'm just thinking too much." Jungkook's orbs fell into the front view. He switched my attention in that direction. 

"Look! We are almost there." I glanced at the greeny lands that were getting closer and closer.  "Y/n, I'll see you down there in a minute after I anchor her alright? You should go and join the rest" he urged me to enjoy the amazing view and join the special moment with other passengers.

I obeyed him and went down.

The murmurs and whispers of the buzzing people were crowding the atmosphere. Everyone was outside, propping at the railings cooing in awe as they espy the sandy beaches of the islands.

Gran Canaria

That was where the ship was heading. She was going to anchor at the mother of the Canary Islands. As we were closing, the crowd from the land started cheering, welcoming the newly arrived guests. The tropical weather felt nice and cosy. The lively sunlight was showering the people with its shades as a warm welcome. The chatter of amusement of the individuals was companied by the cheer of the island's people.

The gigantic ship finally rested in the place where she was invited to rest. Through the megaphones, I heard Captain Smith's voice. I looked up at the top where the man was talking, wearing a victorious smile.

"To all the passengers onboard, we are happy to announce our first destination. Yes, I know you all are surprised. I'm happy to announce that you all just took part in making history. Congratulations on making the list to travel in the biggest and fastest ship to exist"

The crowd cheered, and a big round of applause arose as the captain spoke. He smiled widely at them.

"This is a token of appreciation for making it here with us. Please enjoy your evening. We will start sailing tonight again and make it to England by the dawn of Tuesday " The fellow passengers near me gasped in astonishment.

"Tuesday? Impossible!" A man near me spat out. I thought about it. Travel across the Atlantic in just three days? It indeed sounded absurd.  But she was capable of doing that, well at least that's what the engineers have assured.

The overflowing crowd got down with the help of the Titanic staff. Everyone was enthusiastic to get a bit of sunshine to their skins. I waited and watched from the deck at the below platform. At the entrance, some men with cameras were running around, snapping photos as much as they could. Reporters were in a hurry to capture everything in their lenses and be the first ones to release the news.

I smell chaos.

I was one of the few who remained on the ship as many of them got down. There was a big interview held at the port, already spreading the word about the big news. Jacob Aston, Thomas Andrews and the Harpers were among the people who were being interviewed there. As I noticed, all of them were the British star line investors and engineers, none of the crew was there except Edwards Smith, who also seemed to be reluctant to be there.

So unfair isn't it?

"I know what you are thinking " I slightly flinched as I was awakened by a voice. Jungkook stared at the crowd who were zooming here and there. He was changed to a casual outfit like a normal passenger. His face usually held a very cheerful smile, but at that time I could see the frustration overlapping with his usual smile.

He stepped towards me and pressed his body against the metal railing. His palm balled underneath his chin as his head rested there.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good" I tried to console him. I hesitated for a moment to touch his hand but when I saw his face clouded with disturbances I slid my hand to his.

"I know I'm not much but if you need someone to talk to I'm here" I don't know why I said those words, they involuntarily escaped from my lips. My heart jittered as I immediately thought about how he would respond.

I'm no one, why would he tell me anything? Besides I'm just a mere stranger.

I bit my lower lip with nervousness as he gazed at me for a few seconds making direct eye contact. I was trapped in his gaze, and couldn't find a way to escape, I kept looking into his eyes.  I might not be the best at reading emotions but I could say that his eyes reflected faith and trust towards me.

"Do you easily trust other people? " He asked. I shook my head sideways in denial.

"Not at all, in fact, I rarely trust anyone. Maybe because of the life I spent in America. The life I spent there was fight or die kinda philosophy" I said, heaving a deep sigh. I felt my heart tearing apart as I recall the past thrones.

He fixed his eyes on somewhere far away and let out a soft sigh.

"Have you ever experienced the weight of carrying a burden ?" My eyebrows knitted as he queried. Why is he feeling like that? It's the same thing that happened to me.

"Jungkook, believe me, I know about that more than anyone else. I bear a heavy burden for my past doings, I even lost my family because of that" My hand clenched as I felt my eyes getting slightly watery. I quickly blinked to dry off them before he could espy them. He saw that though.

"Sometimes I feel like letting go of every responsibility and spending time as a free man. At least for one day, free like a seagull " I chuckled as he said. He got the spirit to flip the tables to the bright side. He looked at me with a mischievous grin.

"Today I decided to take a day off and enjoy myself with the rest of the passengers. A carefree day" he cooed. I smiled and nodded.

"You should" I held my breath as he suddenly gripped my hand and glanced at me.

"We should" a smile beautifully curved to his lips showing off his genuine purity.

"I think it's a good time to get to know you" his eyes twinkled brightly as the night stars

Jeon Jungkook was starting to become a part of my life.

He brought rain to the desert of misery I was suffering for that long.

I finally felt like I found the missing part of my life.

Someone faithful, someone who will embrace me and protect me.

Guys, I know it's been some time. I want to say some things for y'all.

1) I'll be a bit offline these days because of upcoming exams. But I'll update again before next month. My exams are ending in August lol.

2) this is really important. As you see I have changed the route of Titanic. Unlike the real story this theory is a little different but you will understand why I did this. This is a fanfic right :) so things can be changed according to my imagination. I hope you won't mind it.

Look forward to more Jungkook X y/n time 😆

Stay safe guys.❤️
