Minho could have been mad. He could have been really mad because of his boss, Lee Jinki, who made him had to sat on the passenger seat in the airplane tonight. His boss could be so annoying sometimes, exactly. If he could choose, he really didn’t want to go, especially when he was in the middle of his family dinner time, which he rarely attended these months because of his work. Well, maybe not really. Actually he felt a bit relieved and rescued because of his boss’ sudden command. He had to admit that there was a tiny part of him that felt happy. That was because his mom started bugging him about the marriage thingy, like there was no tomorrow.


”So, how is it? Do you have a girlfriend already? Bring her home if you have one, Aigoo Minho-ah, you really have no idea how much I want to cuddle my grandchildren.”


He remembered her mom said when he was about to drink his orange juice, which made him choked up immediately.


He was really, really not in the mood to talk about it, at least not for these times. It was not because he didn’t want to married and had a happy family of his own, no, of course not, it wasn’t about that. It was just that he hadn’t find the right one yet, the right woman in the right time, the right woman who would spend the rest of her lifetime with him as his wife and as the mother of his children. Beside, Minho was still 24, so he didn’t have to be hurry, he still got plenty time to think about this kind of thing before finally decided to settle down. And he would have moved out from his house to enjoy his precious free time alone in a new apartment which he already bought with his own money if it was not for his younger sister, Taeyeon, who kept begging him to stay.


But even if he felt a little relieved that he was being saved from his mom’s nags, that fact didn’t change anything about how he didn’t want to go, there was no other choice for him, Jinki wanted him to take the night flight to Jejudo for an urgent meeting with their client In the next morning right away, replacing Jinki’s place to be the representative of their company because Jinki was in his precious romantic honeymoon time in Hawaii with his wife, Lee Eunsook. So this how it would be to have a newlywed man as his boss, great. Therefore after he hung up Jinki’s call, Minho had to pack his things in a rush because he got to catch the plane at 8. It was definitely not a great idea to go through such a business trip, even if it would make sure that he would get his promotion soon, and not to mention how luxurious the facility that his company provided for him, first class flight include the quite amazing amount of accommodation fee. But it was still horrible for him, even those beautiful stars on the night sky couldn’t make things better for Minho, because for God’s sake it was Saturday, a Saturday night in the winter. The weather was so damn cold right now, perhaps it was snowing outside, and all Minho wanted to do was resting his worn out body beside the warm fireplace while sipping a cup of homemade hot macchiato.


Yes, he could have been really mad, but in fact, he wasn’t. Oh actually he was, but not after he saw that pretty stewardess over there. It seemed like he had to thank Jinki this time. Her name was Gwiboon, Kim Gwiboon, cute name wasn’t it? Minho read it on her name tag before. Her beauty was no joke. She already caught Minho’s eyes since the first time he entered the plane. Probably because of her beautiful auburn hair, which were being tied into a perfect y bun, complete with the elegant typical flight attendant hat that she wore. Maybe because of her flawless skin, or her high cheekbone, well, he didn’t know, but one thing Minho knew was she was really his style. To be honest, Minho was quite… Picky. He definitely had a high taste, perhaps that was why he rarely got himself a girlfriend and that was why his mother was very concerned and worried about him.


Minho couldn’t take his eyes off from her, he found himself kept staring at her, stealing a glance once or twice. He even stole the chance to brush his fingers against her palm when she handed him his hot coffee. Her body was swaying gracefully every time she moved, revealing her already visible curve more and more. And her eyes… they were hypnotizing and…


“…Sir?”


Minho snapped back to the reality, her voice woke him up like a beautiful melody rang in his ears. When he realized , she was already standing in front of him, smile plastered on her gorgeous face. He almost forgot that he had called her before, well, it was obvious that he was trying to get close with her, maybe even other passengers knew it. Who didn’t anyway? Beside it was really normal, Minho thought. He was sure that he was not the first guy who tried to flirt with this angelic lady in front of him.



“Is there anything that I can do for you, Sir?” She said with her professional tone after a while because Minho still didn’t say a word.


“Yes, yes.. It’s just that… It’s my first time to fly, so do you mind to tell me how to use the safety belt?”


It was a lie, a big fat one, of course. Minho had already taken hundreds flights in the 24 years of his life.


Gwiboon stared at him for a second, she seemed a bit confused.


“Of course I don’t mind, Sir. But it seems like… Umm… You already use it properly.”


“Eh? Oh… Great then. Yes, great. Well, guess I forget about it, thanks anyway.” Minho’s face was all red, he was pretty embarrassed. How could he be so stupid, now she must be thought that he was a weirdo or an attention seeker, geez.


“No problem, Sir, my pleasure. And please let me know if you need anything else, have a nice flight.” She wrapped up her words with another sweet smile on her face before she walked away.


That smexy babe was really something, this was the first time Minho fell head over heels to someone. He decided to put his destiny on the edge and tried his luck today, practicing his art of flirting as well, because he knew that this kind of chance would not come twice, and maybe he wouldn’t meet such amazing girl like Gwiboon again next time. So he forced his brain to work twice harder tonight, thinking about what he had to do to get any chance of conversation with her, and maybe got her number.


Craning his head from the aisle, Minho looked all over the place to find her. And when he saw that she was heading to his place, Minho quickly brought himself back on his seat, pretending that he was not searching for her. Minho could see her already from afar, because she was really shining, like a diamond in the rough (well, he didn’t mean to symbolize everyone as “the rough”, but he couldn’t help it, they looked like “the rough” when she was around.) He wondered how would she look like if she was not in his formal uniform, maybe in a cute and cheerful sundress, complete with the wicker hat, or in a halter night gown which he would buy for her for their candlelight dinner if they would be together, or just in her simple casual outfit, a pair of slim fit Cheap Monday skinny jeans with an over-sized Zara top, combined with the sweet fragrance of ‘Hot Couture’ by Givenchy. Perfect, He bet she would look even more fabulous than she already was.


“Excuse me?” Minho said, almost whispering, when she walked along the aisle to write one of the passengers’ order.


“Yes, sir? May I help you?” She turned her gaze to him.


“Umm, since it’s my first time, I think I’m a bit nervous and afraid. Can you please hold my hand for a second?”


Minho was definitely a great actor, because not long after that she smiled and held his hand as he wished, she even comforted him, saying that it was okay, that he didn’t have to worry about it, it was normal, and bla bla bla. Minho fought the urge to smirk triumphantly and kept going with his acting for some gracious seconds. Oh God, he never thought that he would be this lucky tonight.
