Flight C2M
Flight C2M
Myoui Mina, one of the finest attendant of Jeju Airlines was scheduled for a two-day round trip flight to Switzerland. As she rolled past a newsstand, her eyes caught a peripheral glance of the pastel pages of the famous Ceci Financial Magazine, and she couldn't help but wonder whether or not her Mystery Lass would be on board the flight again today.
Ever since she met her a week ago on the same airlines, she couldn't stop thinking about her. She was really beautiful, may stand smaller but the charisma is too strong to resist, she has dreamy eyes and had an air of sophistication, she was completely bewitched, but for all she knew she was already taken. Woman like her usually were.
Mina, checked the first class seat roster. As hard as she tried she just couldn't get her mind off the Mystery lass. Well, she wasn't exactly a mystery since she knew her identity somehow. She ran her finger down the names, but there was no Son Chaeyoung listed. Her heart sank like a teenager whose crush hadn't made it to third-period English.
"Not feeling well today?" That was Jihyo, her crewmate.
"What do you mean? I feel just fine". She smiled quickly.
Jihyo gave her that "Mother' Knows Best" look.
"Minari, how long have I known you?"
"What are you talking about?" she asked, playing the dumb role.
"Just answer the question."
"We've been flying together for over 5 years." Mina answered, trying to put an end to this senseless inquisition.
"Exactly!" Jihyo nodded. "So, I know when something's up with you."
What was Mina going to say? That she was pinning over a lady she didn't even know? No, she wouldn't say anything of the sort. For the next forty-eight hours she spend the flight listening to how Jihyo met her other half and Mina couldn't help but to fantasize. If Jihyo could find love, why couldn't she? Maybe this Chaeyoung was the one. What if she never flew Jeju Airilines again? What if she was straight? or perhaps married? Why was she panicking?.
Mina's plan was to check into the hotel, change, and then hit a few shops but once she reached the room, the bed began to whisper her name, and before she knew she was already soundly sleeping.
And just like deja vu, she was back on the plane for the return flight to Seoul. Stepping out of the galley as the passengers began to board, she nearly fainted when she saw her walk down the breezeway and unto the plane. There in the flesh was Son Chaeyoung. She looked like a model gracing the runway, in her slate black leather jacket and stripe turtle neck top. Her Jawline was perfectly exposing as she brush her hair up by her right hand, her nose was straight and her lips were full.
"Good afternoon and welcome to Jeju Airlines." Mina smiled nervously, trying to mask her desire.
Chaeyoung looked at her and returned the smile. "Good afternoon."
The lass proceeded to her seat without looking back, buckled up and took out an assortment of newspaper. Mina inhaled and walked over to Chaeyoung's seat wondering if the lass could remember her from her last flight.
"Would you care for a beverage before we depart from the gate?"
"Yes, I would". She smiled showing her dimple. "What would you recommend?" she asked, looking up to Mina.
"We have a rich fruity Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet and a full bodied Merlot."
"I'll have the Cabernet."
"Excellent choice." Mina smiled and retreated to the galley.
"Excellent choice", she silently mimicked herself. "What a lame response. Couldn't you----"
"Who the hell are you talking to?" Jihyo asked.
"Nobody. Just talking."
"Well, you know what they say? It's okay to talk as long as you don't answer yourself." Jihyo peeked her head out of the galley and looked down the aisle.
"I can see you're eyeing that beautiful young lady in row two." She continued.
"What?!. No!" Mina blurted out as she was completely surprised of what Jihyo has said.
"I know your preference Minari". She confessed. "After all, we've known for over 5 years now right?" She was abolutely right, "So??"
There was an awkward silence as Mina couldn't believe that her friend knew her that much already.
"Yeah" Mina nodded.
"Yeah?" Jihyo looked puzzled. "Is that all you have to say? I have never seen you as drooling as you are right now over a girl. You're gorgeous and free, what are you waiting for?" Jihyo nudged her with her elbow.
Mina was actually thinking deep and hard after what her friend told her and finally answered....
