I walked back into the living room after seeing off the guests. I stopped Han Jae-yi, who was clearing the table by himself. It was all packaged food, so there was no end to the trash. I was just finishing up and putting it in a trash bag when Han Jae-yi pulled out a beer from the fridge. He only drank water when he had guests, so it seemed odd that he was drinking now. "That's the guy who dropped you off, right?" "Who? Co-pilot Cho Min-woo? Yeah, that's right." He stopped clearing the table and…-

"I'll order chicken, what's the address here?" Co-pilot Jeon Seong-wook picked up his cell phone. His pregnant wife recommended the new menu as she's a chicken enthusiast. After placing the delivery order, we picked our second beer. Meanwhile, we started snacking on the dishes disguised as meals. "Captain, when do you get your next simulation test?" "I think I still have about three months left." "Mine's next month. It’s killing me, seriously." Pilots must pass simulation tests twice a…

Then he sent me a bear character doing a colossus salute.It wasn't a bear, was it a lion? No, a dog perhaps. As I pondered, the front door opened. Han Jae-yi entered the house. "Where have you been? What about dinner?" "I haven’t." At his cold response, I glanced at him. Han Jae-yi was dressed in a suit. Even his hair was done up, as if he had an important appointment. He shuffled across the living room to the couch and slumped down, still pulling his tie down. He didn't look very happy. "Did…

The airplane that took off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport was soon flying over Russian airspace. As the co-pilot responsible for the latter part of the journey, I had already eaten the in-flight meal and settled into the cockpit. The Australian Co-pilot was pleasant, to put it kindly, and nosy, to put it less kindly. He was constantly asking personal questions throughout the flight. He hummed a song whenever the radio went off. He shared stories about trending video clips these days or…

"I'm going to Japan next month. It would be nice to see you if you're in Seoul." "It's not like you can just casually drop by like next-door neighbors. It's not Europe." "You once said Japan and Korea are like Germany and France." "Yeah. Because they dislike each other." "We don't dislike you guys." "Yeah, sure. Then let's say Japan is like the UK of Asia." "Ah... that’s unfortunate." "Yeah. That's exactly how it feels." I took out a cigarette from my pocket and glanced around. I…

We walked along the path following the tourists and came to a place selling tickets. Since it was nearing closing time, most people were coming down from the ranch. We bought tickets and continued up the path. The size of the ranch was smaller than I had expected. Sheep were grazing sparsely between the grass. Some of them approached the fence, wetting their bodies against it and approaching people. A man held a baby's hand and petted a sheep. The sheep and the baby looked at each other…

I woke up to the rattling sound three hours after we started our journey. It was the sound of a caravan traveling through the mountain passes where night had fallen silent as it hit the rocks on the road. "Why didn't you wake me up? Let's switch." "I can't stop here. What if a car comes from the other side?" "Aren't you tired?" "I am." He smiled as he answered honestly. Google Maps didn't work. He downloaded another Korean map app. It looked like we were on our way to Daegwallyeong. I rolled…

The next morning, I spent the first two hours in the hotel's fitness center, then took a nap and had lunch. Later in the afternoon, I was contacted by the cabin manager to go on a market tour, but I didn't feel confident enough to join the cabin crew on their journey. I turned on the TV. Perhaps because it was a suite, the premium channels were already activated. Pressing the remote absentmindedly, my gaze was fixed on one channel like a statue. "...” Thailand, known for its open culture towards…

The summer weather in Thailand isn't kind to outsiders. It feels like being trapped in a sauna with unbearable heat making it difficult to breathe. Enduring the radiating heat from the ground, I waited for the shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel. Some distance away from the crew I was flying with, the cabin stewardess had been on the phone the entire time. I never intended to overhear. "It's only because your mom said she'd babysit. Why does my mom have to do it all the time? Why do you have to…

The day after returning from Jeju Island was a leisure day. The desk that Han Jae-yi had ordered on his own whim had arrived. There, he dealt with piled-up tasks as if it were his own office. I cooked ramen with the pot Han Jae-yi bought me. I don't know how to cook, so I didn't want to receive any complaints. It was also my intention to let him know the shortcomings of living in this house. The day ended with passing conversations without any major topics, and morning dawned. I went to the airport…
