The Golden Homecoming
Arrived at JFK.
When I immigrated to the US, my luggage was heavy, but now my hand held only one medium-sized carry-on.
Back then I flew economy, but returning, I proudly boarded first class.
This was enough for a golden homecoming.
Sitting in the lounge, resting briefly, the announcement to board came, so I quickly got on the plane.
Upon boarding, I felt a bit of excitement.
Was it the excitement of returning to Korea after a long time, or the things that would happen ahead...?
Anyway,
Money really is good.
And although expensive, the Korean airline is the prettiest.
In the US, they don't select flight attendants based on appearance...
Isn't it obvious that water served by a pretty girl is cooler than by an old auntie?
As expected, a pretty flight attendant approached me, smiling and speaking.
"Hello, my name is Lee Euna, your dedicated flight attendant.
If you need anything, please press the button on the right side of your seat! Then, have a comfortable flight."
"Thank you."
Is that short, tight-fitting uniform that looks about to burst also a form of customer service?
With arms that looked like they could snap if squeezed, she deftly lifted and placed the carry-on.
To have that kind of appearance and strength, she must be a first-class dedicated flight attendant.
Often, I would gaze at her retreating into the distance and imagine slipping my hand inside that tight blouse and groping.
No matter how I looked at it, she seemed to fit my type...
After takeoff, I immediately pressed the button to call flight attendant Lee Euna.
Not long after, the dedicated flight attendant Lee Euna arrived.
"Customer, how may I assist you?"
"Could you bring me some cold water?"
She hurried to the back and quickly returned with water and ice glasses.
"Customer, is there anything else you need?"
Kneeling on one knee on the floor as if awaiting orders, looking up at me with her eyes,
I felt an urge to unbutton the buttons on her top that's about to burst.
"Needed... the stewardess's number."
"Sorry... providing the crew number is difficult... if there's anything else you need, please feel free to call me anytime."
Fuck, I was rejected so blatantly.
"Yeah. Just kidding."
I quickly put on the headset...
After a few hours passed, it was time for dinner, and the stewardess Lee Euna came again with the pre-reserved steak.
"Customer, enjoy your meal. Is there anything else you need?"
"There's something, but you won't give it to me, right?"
"Ah... customer..."
"Why are you so tense... It's just a joke. Bring me an iced Americano."
Thinking about it, for hours, I had been secretly ogling that AV-style woman's ass walking around, so my thirst kept growing.
"Customer, iced Americano. Have a comfortable flight."
Unlike before when she was muttering, she looked at me and smiled with her eyes.
"? Thank you."
Lol, of course, how could Han Taesang not get what he wants?
A business card was sticking out from under the napkin laid under the coffee.
I picked up the business card and examined it from various angles, then quickly put it in my wallet to avoid losing it.
The number was already saved in my phone...
When I saw Lee Euna's photo on the chat, it seemed she didn't have a boyfriend.
Anyway, I have the number, but I can't do a date or sex on the plane, so I have to set aside the regret and wait for another opportunity...
Every subsequent meal time, Lee Euna would bring the meal, and every time she came, she would smile mysteriously and our eyes would meet.
Fuck, it's a green light...
While holding back the urge to take her to the bathroom, I put on the eye mask and fell asleep.
Thanks to this woman, the long, boring flight time became somewhat enjoyable.
After eating and sleeping repeatedly for a while, I finally arrived in Korea.
*
When the automatic door at Incheon Airport opened, the hot air hit my face with a whoosh.
"...Wow, shit."
I immediately frowned.
"Why is Korea so hot."
Coming from New York, it felt even crazier hot.
My phone in my pocket vibrated.
[Mom]
I laughed inwardly, and as soon as I answered the phone, a voice that would tear my eardrum burst out.
"Hey Han Taesang!!!!"
I was startled... immediately pulled the phone a bit from my ear.
"Ah shit, you startled me."
"You really went to Korea?!"
"Yeah~ Just arrived."
Dragging the suitcase, I slowly walked out of the airport.
The air mixed with moisture clung to the back of my throat.
"Just came to rest a bit."
"Rest? What rest! The one who suddenly goes to Korea leaving the company behind!"
"The company runs well without a boss. You don't know, Mom?"
"When are you coming back?"
"Eh!? Mom, Chanhyuk came to pick me up. I'll call later."
I deliberately mumbled the answer and hung up.
A chuckle escaped.
I soon found Chanhyuk without much trouble.
This guy is standing proudly between taxis with his tiny cute kei car.
Thanks to his face not changing much from before, I recognized him immediately and approached.
"Who are you? What the hell is this fuss."
"Taesang? This bastard really came? Wow, shit..."
Chanhyuk looked at me from top to bottom with an incredulous face.
"Why?"
"What, why is a person so changed."
Yeah, I had changed a lot from before.
When I first went to the US.
I had nothing special, just filled with unknown grievances.
Then, I got into exercising, eating, sleeping, and exercising, and since I received the growth buff late...
But thanks to my tall mom's genes, I became taller and bigger than before.
"But why did you really come? To get revenge? Or to meet Eunhye and fulfill some unfulfilled love?"
"Men say revenge is sweet after 10 years, of course I have to return it? Eunhye... well."
".... You're really a crazy bastard..."
Because my words sounded like jokes, Chanhyuk shook his head and put on his seatbelt.
"First, I'm too tired, so let's go home and sleep a bit. Take me to Ciel."
"Ciel... ha... a really envious bastard. Going."
Receiving the taxi drivers' fervent gazes, I got in the small white car and left.
*
Even while driving, Chanhyuk kept glancing at me, still looking incredulous.
"But really, it's amazingly surprising..."
"What?"
"Well, overall."
He pointed from my face to my stomach with his finger.
"Height, body, atmosphere..."
"..."
"Even the appearance has improved. Did removing glasses make such a big difference?"
"Thanks."
"It wasn't a compliment, you unlucky bastard."
Hehe, laughter escaped.
Even though it's been a long time, thanks to the natural chemistry, I don't think adapting to Korea will be difficult.
Even after going to the US, I often contacted Chanhyuk.
Called, played games, and that guy often called at dawn after drinking and suddenly.
So, even after nearly 10 years, I didn't feel much distance seeing his face.
But actually, Chanhyuk's reaction when I saw him was funny.
"Arrived~"
"Yeah, thanks. Let's have a drink tomorrow."
For now,
Because of the time difference, I'm too tired. Let's sleep first. I have to go to sleep.
After seeing off Chanhyuk, I entered the lobby, pressed the unfamiliar floor, and waited for the elevator to go up blankly.
....
The 71st floor is too high, but it arrived quickly, and when I entered the room, I went to bed without washing and slept for a long time.
*
When I woke up, it was dawn. After sleeping well for the first time in a while, I felt refreshed.
Is it the good bed, or is the house good,
Anyway, since it was bought for investment, the monthly management fee was coming out because it was vacant, but it's fortunate that I'm using it.
Walking to the window, I slightly pulled back the blinds, and a bluish cityscape came into view.
Staring blankly out the window, I started to feel the reality that I had really come back.
I went out to take a simple jog and come in.
Yeah, for today, I have to buy a car first.
I ran around looking at car dealerships nearby.
Will the delivery be ready by tomorrow?
Looking at the shining cars in the large showroom, I recalled Chanhyuk's small precious white kei car....
*
As expected, to buy a car I like, it takes a long time, so I just went to a used car dealership and bought the Ferrari 296 with cash on the spot.
Korean people are difficult, difficult even if, looking at the foreign car delivery backlog.... tsk tsk.
But since the ride comfort was similar to the car I drove in the US, I could adapt quickly.
Soon, since it was evening, I had to go home with the car and eat dinner with Chanhyuk, so I drove the car home.
After the drive, slowly driving the car back from the outskirts to the city, when I was at a signal, stopping for a moment.
It was around sunset, so the sunset was coming in strongly, and as I turned my head out the window,
BAM!!!!!
With a huge impact, my body was shot forward.
"Wow, shit?!"
I stepped hard on the brake and checked the rearview mirror.
A black SUV behind me had just rear-ended my rear and stopped.
Ah shit... that's why Mom said if I buy a car, I'll suffer...
But the bastard who caused the accident got out quickly, didn't check, and sat quietly in the driver's seat.
Is he dead? I was about to get out, but after a moment, the back seat driver's door of the following car opened with a bang.
The man got out staggering, and kicked his own car with his foot.
"Ah, you bastard..."
Just from the staggering, the smell of alcohol was enough to reach here.
I slowly opened the car door and got out.
And the moment I saw the guy's face, a smile leaked out.
Wow.
It really became fun.
It was Park Donghyun.
