[Minsu’s POV]
There I was, on the plane, getting ready to start my job. A whole 8 hour trip with 130 passengers, nothing could go wrong. Right?
“So hows your day?” Another flight attendant asks me.
“Oh, um kinda good I guess, I haven’t done much anyway.”
“My-my, excuse me for being so informal. I’m Lee Sumi.” She shakes my hand.
“I should be the one apologizing, I’m Kim Minsu.” I bow slightly.
“We might need to go back, people are starting to get on.” She says going down the miniature 3 step-stairs.
I tried following after her but the skirt that I had to wear, was a little too tight. Sumi turned around and gave me a questionable look.
“I can that you’re having some trouble there. Do you need help?” She walks up to me.
“Um yeah, this skirt is a little too tight, and kind of seductive.” I nodded, Sumi chuckled shortly after.
“It’s supposed to be like that, but don’t worry I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon.”
“I’m not so sure about that...” I mumbled.
“If I had a body like you, I’d want to wear clothes like this.” She tugged on the skirt slightly.
We both laughed and walked out of the Crew Rest Compartment. People were walking down the aisle finding their seats, as well as putting up some of their bags.
I saw an elderly woman trying desperately to put up her small bag, it seemed that she wasn’t tall enough. So I walked over and put it up for her instead.
“Thank you.” The woman said sweetly.
“Ah- your welcome.” I bow politely and back out of the aisle, trying to gently squeeze my way to the front.
I tripped over someone’s bag along the way, as I get up a see a handsome man with glasses on his shocked face.
He sticks his hand out and I immediately reach for it, trying to escape the embarrassment I caused for myself.
“Ma’am, are you okay?” He asks frantically.
“I-I’m fine, but thank you anyways.” I bow slightly and walk away, this time more carefully.

Once everyone got settled on the plane, the pilot came on the intercom and began to go over the pre-flight speech, along with some safety tips. The plane took off, jolting a little bit. I was scared at first but Sumi calmed me down with a lot of cheesy jokes.
I came back out pushing a cart thingy that had a cooler attached to the inside of it, as well as some snacks, drinks, and desserts on top.
I stopped by each section asking if anyone wanted something to eat on or if they were hungry. Making sure to cater to any of their needs, basically.
I was almost near the back of the plane when I saw the man who had helped me earlier. He was asleep, with his earbuds in, listening to music, I guess.
There was a young boy beside him around my age, probably looking not too far down from my face. I tried to follow what his eyes were looking at and noticed that he was staring at the little bit of cleavage that I had out.
I acted like I didn’t notice when I stop directly beside him.
“Would you like anything, sir?” I ask in a whispering manner.
“Mmm, can I get some sugar?” He asks smiling widely.
“Uhh- of course..., would you like anything with that?” I ask cautiously.
“Yeah, I’d like to put that sugar all over your sweet ass.” He says bluntly. I cough and look away.
“If that would be all I best leave, to tend to other people.” I smile politely and walk away slowly pushing the cart.
I felt a sharp stinging pain on my butt and turned around to see the man’s head sticking out from the aisle, with him grinning evilly.
He waves and I shiver, quickly walking away to the next couple of rows with the cart.

I put the cart away, in the room that near the cockpit. I walk up the miniature stairs and find a bed to rest in.
I finally find one and relax down on it, drifting to sleep slowly.
*Minsu’s Dreams*
*Trigger Warning, Very Explicit*
Beer bottles laid everywhere on the ground when I got home. I was shocked when I heard dad yelling and shouting in the living room.
Who else would be here, it’s not like mom would come to visit anyways, she probably hates us by now. Or maybe it’s Chae.
I walked further into the house, towards the living room cautiously, there was no one else there except for dad himself.
The smell of alcohol became noticeably stronger when I got closer to my dad. ‘He’s drunk’ I thought.
My dad turned around and sees me, he starts rambling and yelling at me altogether. I try backing away, but he grabs my shoulders and shakes me violently.
Before I knew it, his hand wrapped around my neck and he started to choke me. I tried grabbing his wrists so that his grip would get looser or that so he would stop.
But instead, he gripped my neck even tighter.
“Dad p-please.” I choked and cried out. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
“Why did you leave me?! Why did you abandon us?! After all, I did!” His face becomes blurry, I don’t know whether it was because of my tears or it was because of me passing out.

I woke up in my room, with bruises all on my arms. When I thought the other ones were fading away, more came instead. It’s always my fault, why must it always be my fault?!
I cried into the palm in my hands and hoped to die. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. Not knowing what to do with it, I began to cut around my wrists.
The pain soon became a sensation, I just sat there all afternoon cutting myself. Blood dripped from my arms and wrists and each time the knife dug into my skin, it felt like everything was okay.
Like everything was numb like I didn’t know that the pain was there at first, before I knew it my eyelids began to droop and I fell asleep.
It was like living and being dead at the same time.

*Minsu’s Dream End*
I shot up from the hard bed, and quickly got up, adjusting myself. Soon I hear someone mumbling all sorts of things, as I get up from the bed.
‘How long was I asleep for?’ I asked myself. It must’ve been a pretty long time since it’s nearly nighttime before I slept it was in the afternoon.
I looked out the window and saw the stars all above the sky. A shooting star fly’s past and I quickly think of a wish.
“I wish to find true love.”
I walk out from the CRD, smiling to myself and, grab a cart along the way.
Pushing the cart slowly through the aisle, I made sure to not make a sound for that people were still sleeping, I got near the end and walked carefully towards first class.
As I entered the past the blue curtain, I could hear a rumbling sound coming from the other side.
“Would you mind coming over here please?” I looked at the handsome man who stuck his face out from his compartment.
“Sure thing sir. What can I get you?” I asked in a low voice, walking up to him quietly with the cart.
“Can I get a glass of Merlot wine, please?” The handsome man asked sternly but politely. I nod and reach in the cooler for a Paul Mas bottle, that has a Merlot written along the bottom.
(Yes I’m very good with wines, even though I don’t drink them #Underrage)
“Ah~ my favorite, thank you... Miss Minsu?” He says soothingly, reading my name tag, as I hand him a wine glass and pour in the Merlot.
“Oh your welcome and yes, Minsu is correct.” I bow slightly and put away the bottle.
I walk out from first class and head back to the CRD, I see Sumi talking to 3 other flight attendants.
“Wait, miss!” I hear a man whisper-yell. I turn around and see the sleeping guy from earlier now awake. I smile brightly and quickly go over to him.
“Would you like anything, sir?” I smile brighter, happy that I get to talk to him.
“Mmm, yes, can I get some grapes with a napkin please, I’m really craving for those right now.” He rubs his stomach and pouts playfully. I quietly laugh at his cute actions and nod.
I then take out a small plastic bowl and some grapes, putting in a generous amount, I reach over the rude boy from earlier and hand over the bowl to the man sitting beside him. I then hand over a napkin as well.
“Thank you.” He smiles, and I see his dimple, my cheeks start heating up, so I look away from him.
As I turn away he grabs my wrist, gently and puts the napkin in my hand. I look confused, but he then winks at me.
“Bye now..” I wave awkwardly with my other hand as he lets go of my wrist.
I walk past Sumi, and into the CRD, I plop down on an empty bed and read the napkin:
XXX-XXX-XXXX
~Call me!
~Namjoon ;)
’Ah- his name is Namjoon’ I blush and have a miny fangirl moment, I soon hear laughing, I look over and see Sumi and another flight attendant laughing at my sudden outburst. I pout and fold my arms, cutely.
