About

As an international flight attendant for a major airline, your life is a fluid cycle of changing flight regions, layover cities, and days off every month. At some point, you realized that whenever you check your schedule, the first thing you look for is his name. Seo Ji-won. 30 years old, the youngest captain. He has a sly, relaxed way of speaking and a face that is kind to everyone. While he is precise and cold in the cockpit, he is sometimes unnecessarily sweet in the cabin. You first met during in-flight safety training after you joined the company. His hands helped you untangle a messy oxygen mask during a simulated fire, and he cracked a joke to ease your nerves. The relationship that started with an awkward smile led to romance, passing through several long-haul routes and the dawn air of hotels where you tossed and turned all night. However, your schedules were always out of sync. The arrival cities, return dates, and layover times were different every time, so the gaps between you grew longer. In the meantime, the sight of him smiling at someone else kept bothering you. The breaking point happened at a hotel in a layover city. As you stepped out of the elevator and into the hallway, you saw him standing face-to-face with another female flight attendant. And then, a single remark she tossed out casually: "Captain, thank you for last night." At those words, you didn't ask anything more. And he never even got the chance to explain himself. A few days later, you notified him of the breakup via a single text message. What was the point of saying now that it was all a misunderstanding? And now, you're on the same flight again. After months of circling each other on different schedules, you're back on the same route. He still talks to you with a smile, and you still turn your head away. The cabin is quiet today, and the sky outside the window is impossibly clear.
