"This is preposterous!" A young woman exclaimed loud enough for the others in line to hear.

"Taeng, don't use big words. People will think you have a high education, which translates into a job, which translates into a high paying job, which translates into a lot of money, which means that you've become a target for a first class mugging and or beating, then , then mug. And we definitely don't want that now do we?"

"Yuri, what the hell are you talking about?"

"There we go." Yuri said in approval, "Dumb it down. People are getting more and more aggressive with robbery these days. I mean, even in broad day light! No one is safe and I mean NO ONE."

"You're over exaggerating. And also, have you ever had any experience with assault or anything? Because the way you explained what will happen to me if I ever got mugged was pretty accurate. I mean the order of it all. Firstly a beating, then you don't waste any time and go straight into a and then-"

"I was just trying to give you an example Taeyeon!" Yuri interrupted before her friend could continue.

"But really though. It sounded like you have done it before." Taeyeon proceeded forward in the line as the length decreased.

"I haven't assaulted anyone Taeyeon, god." Yuri grew a little irritated, evident from her tone.

"You haven't assaulted anyone, in that order. For all I know, you could've someone, then beaten then before stealing their possessions."

"If I really had ually assaulted someone, why would I be here, with you?"

"I would ask myself the same question." Taeyeon shook her head, "Then I would take into consideration all those years of friendship we shared. How many times I let you drink some of the milk out of my cup. That time I let you sleep over. And oh my god, when I lent you those sweats! I could've contracted some sort of STD from you!"

"Taeyeon!" Yuri screamed, "I'm not a freaking ual assaulter!"

The line of people turned to Yuri and they all had the same type of facial expression. One that said, "What the fu-" ending right at that exact syllable for a sensible purpose. The guards on duty and the workers doing full body checks, to the side, also threw her a few awkward stares and glances. Yuri smiled nervously and started to chuckle, "I'm not- She was- I was just- I'm not a ." She finally muttered before lowering her head down in embarrassment.

Taeyeon grinned confidently as she mentally checked off the 'Annoy the hell out of Yuri' task on her checklist. Though that task had a good probability of staying on her list for years to come. She didn't laugh because she simply just didn't want to get punched by her friend who, in turn, was probably boiling with a fiery passion of rage right at the moment. Taeyeon wanted to live a little while longer, so she decided to wait until an hour or so before bursting out into laughter.

"I hope you die a slow, painful death by a thousand paper cuts."

Taeyeon looked over her shoulder and showed off her teeth, "Stop being so childish, Yuri."

"I wouldn't worry about me being childish. I actually look my age. While you on the other hand-"

"Looking young is better than looking like ten times my actual age."

"Look young is good, but not so much that you can pass for a student in elementary!" Yuri clarified, "And what are you trying to say?"

"You're smile lines." Taeyeon tried to keep a straight face, "Do you look at yourself in the mirror?"

"One day, this smile that I have, yeah it will disappear because of you, then reappear when you disappear."

"This means you love me because what you just said, made no sense at all."

"I love you enough, to be happy when you are gone. And plus, I make more sense than you under special circumstances."

"I need my own apartment." Taeyeon muttered she fixed the strap on her shoulder.

Yuri chortled, "You'll never get one with the job you have."

"You have the same job, so I wouldn't be talking if I were you."

"At least I'm actually looking for a new job, rather than sitting, waiting around for some girl who came around three months ago! I mean seriously Taeyeon, you should've called her."

"Please don't bring it up."

"There's a rule in the dating book. After you almost give a girl a screaming , you have to call her back. Have to. Or else you won't get your seconds, if you know what I mean." Yuri wiggled her eye brows suggestively.

"You sound like-" Taeyeon bumped into the person standing in front of her. She was too occupied with poking at Yuri's patience to notice that the line wasn't moving. A curse escaped accidentally, "Sorry."

"It's okay. I wasn't looking. Well, I wasn't supposed to be looking, but....it's okay." She repeated, "Taeyeon."

At the sound of her name being called, Taeyeon whispered, in a strained voice, "Oh my god."

Tiffany caught the almost quiet exclamation,” What?" She chuckled, "Are you surprised to see me?"

"What the he- Yuri stopped herself from finishing the last word, "What the are you doing here, Tiffany!"

"I work here." Tiffany showed off her smile, seeing Taeyeon and Yuri completely in awe.

"You work here? Here, here? Airport here?" Yuri asked, "You work in an airport?!" The last time they had seen Tiffany was there months ago where she had made their first day on the job.

"I don't work here exactly, though I pass by here a lot. I'm a flight attendant." Tiffany explained with her eyes curving along with her smile, "Taeyeon-ah, you never called."

Taeyeon couldn't even begin to come up with an answer. Reuniting with Tiffany after such a long time made her go mute with her tongue tied. Tiffany looked exactly like she did a few months ago, if not better. Her eyes still shined more brightly than her smile; which was just plain dazzling. All she could possibly do was stare blankly as she so often did when words stabbed her in the back.

"Her feet got cold." Yuri answered for her. Even if Taeyeon had the ability to speak, Yuri still would've inserted her own little answer, just to entertain herself.

"Your feet got cold?" Tiffany looked to Taeyeon. She must've done something wrong because the latter girl lowered her head the second she made eye contact.

"Yeah, her feet were cold." Yuri patted her friend's back.

"Oh, that's too bad. I was really looking forward to-"

"They make flight attendants go through security too!?" Taeyeon all but screamed out her question. She wasn't paying full attention to those around her. Taeyeon was more absorbed on planning what to say rather than listening on what Tiffany had to say.

Tiffany turned and automatically smiled at Taeyeon, to which she responded with one agape jaw and bulging eyes, "Yeah. Apparently everyone's hiding a bomb or gun in their undergarments these days, and the government thinks that flight attendants are no exception. But I mean, what can you do right? I have to work either way, so might as well..." She finished and tucked a hair behind her ear.

"U-undergarments?" Taeyeon only caught that word.

Tiffany nodded slowly, "Yes undergarments...underwear?" Taeyeon looked confused so she continued, "The stuff you wear under your clothes...?"

"Taeyeon is a free bird. She likes to let it all hang out." Yuri added with a sly grin marked on her face.

"Oh." Tiffany's brows furrowed together, "That's umm, cool."

"Not really. No, it's not cool not one bit, especially when-"

"Tiffany, get your behind over here!" Tiffany looked over her shoulder and found a fellow attendee waving at her near the exit of the security post.

"I have to go through this though!"

"No, it's fine. They'll let you in!"

"Alright." Tiffany turned back to the duo, "Well it looks like I have to-"

"HURRY UP!"

"I'm coming!" Tiffany screamed, irritated, "It was good seeing you two." She finished and left just like that.

Taeyeon’s shoulders slumped and a frown appeared. Yuri knew this reaction from Taeyeon by now. As she watched the other girl stumble over her own feet, she hoped and prayed that Tiffany would be traveling on the same plane as them.

Taeyeon rolled her eyes at her friend before diverting her gaze to the window. Yuri always did have the ability of persuading, though her methods consisted mostly of teasing and deriding with insensible attacks. Taeyeon peered out of the plane's window that was slightly smudged with the previous passenger's thumbprints. Things are getting cheaper and cheaper, she thought as she wiped
