My mom and I got in line ready to board the plane. I glanced around the airport once more and felt a calming wave of peace flush through me. I didn’t exactly know what it was, but I closed my eyes and savored the moment. I just couldn’t wait until I would finally be able to see Sora again. People around me busily tried making their way to their own flights, and others just sitting and waiting for their call to get on their plane. I looked up at my mom and smiled as we prepared to get on the plane. We finally made it toward the entrance of the plane and stepped on. The Flight attendants were really nice and warmly smiled at us as we made our way to our seat. As I was walking past a group of younger Korean girls, I heard them whisper something along the lines of 

“Here…Oppa….SHINee!!!”

I couldn’t really make out the rest of what they were saying as they started giggling and smiling amongst themselves. I had heard of SHINee before, just because of Sora’s constant rambling about them, but I didn’t know any of their songs, or who the members were.  I looked to my right and saw that my seat was right across from the group of girls I had just seen moments before. I looked back and my mom and pointed at our seats, telling her that we could settle down and pack out carry-ons at the compartment at the top. We packed our carry-ons in the top compartment and sat down. Looking towards the window seat that my mom was sitting in, I saw that outside the window the sky looked a little darker and cloudier than it did this morning.

            “ I heard that there was going to be a thunderstorm later in the evening,” My mom said as she looked out the window.

            “But we don’t have to worry” She smiled as she patted my leg, “We’ll be in Seoul before It catches up to us.”

            Feeling relieved I looked down the aisle and saw the flight attendants showing the usual safety precautions needed in order to fly. They played the outdated safety video on all our mini T.V screens on the back of the seat in front of us. This was in fact the first time I was flying, so I was actually kind of really anxious, but not entirely afraid. I buckled my seatbelt and took a deep breath. The flight attendants  were out of sight as they proceeded to take a seat themselves as we prepared for take off. The plane jerked forward as the speakers played the voice of the pilot came on to talk about our flight plans and what the weather was like. I plane started of slow as it made its way down the runway gaining speed as we finally got lifted up into the air on our way to South Korea
