After finishing the bungee jump, we took a taxi again. When we asked the driver for a local favorite restaurant, he recommended a handmade noodle shop. He even made a call himself to put our names on the reservation list, saying there might be a long wait. Listening to the conversation, it seemed like he was a regular. As expected, there was a long line. Thanks to our unexpected connection, we were seated right away. Two bowls of handmade noodles with fresh Jeju clams were served, steaming hot on the…-

The next morning, I received a call from Han Jae-yi in the fitness room. I had been running on the treadmill since morning, thanks to a job that requires me to stay fit. I wanted to swim, but I hadn't brought my swimsuit, so I gave up. He laughed over the phone, commenting on how diligent I was from the morning despite drinking so much alcohol the night before. After showering, I walked into the buffet restaurant where breakfast was served. I told them my room number and looked around for Han Jae-yi. I…

After a short flight, we arrived at the hotel and each went up to our rooms. We decided to have dinner together and agreed to meet in the lobby by 7 PM. When we were young, we always shared the same room during our trips. Firstly, because we didn't have much money, and secondly, it was more convenient to stay together. Due to such precedents, when I made a reservation for a hotel in Jeju Island, I hesitated a bit. Still, two grown adult men sharing a room seemed abnormal. When we checked in and he…

I returned home and collapsed as is. It was still early evening, but without even dealing with dinner, I fell into bed and slept. Occasionally, the sound of Han Jae-yi's phone calls could be heard. The work-related calls were crisp, and conversations between lovers were tender. I was grateful to be too tired to fuss over such things. I was exhausted to the point where I couldn't be meticulous about each and every detail. I thought I had slept for a while. When I opened my eyes, expecting morning, it was…

I walked into a house that was still unfamiliar to me. The house was already equipped with essential appliances for sleeping, eating, sitting, and relaxing, so the only things I had to order were a couch, TV, table, and coat rack, which hadn't been delivered yet, so there was only one small sofa chair in the living room. A burglar could break in and there would be nothing to steal. The house was so empty that I could live with the door wide open. "It's been less than a week since I moved. You're the…

The plane landed at Incheon Airport. The captain shut down the engines one by one while the Co-pilot went through the securing checklist. The gate bridge connected shortly, and passengers disembarked swiftly like receding tides. Cargo trucks and maintenance personnel approached, visible beneath the windows. After completing the logbook and post-flight tasks, the Co-pilot and the other captain stood up from their seats. I also moved with them. "When is your next flight?" The captain walking…

The co-pilot communicating with the control tower also seemed quite tense. Rain wasn't the issue; airplanes aren't like cars, so there's no risk of skidding accidents in the rain. The real concern was the wind. Wind blowing directly onto the runway during takeoff could cause wind shear, a sudden change in the wind's direction or speed. It's a situation that every pilot fears. A report came from the cabin manager stating that all passengers had completed boarding. The aircraft doors were closed. From now…

The flight to Frankfurt is a long-haul one. According to aviation regulations, flights lasting over 10 hours must be staffed with a crew of at least two pilots and two co-pilots. However, today, due to just barely exceeding an additional hour, only one more captain was added to the crew. I decided to take over the second half of the flight and sat in the observer's seat, watching from behind for the first time in a long time. A seasoned-looking captain and a rookie-looking co-pilot recited the standard…

After landing at Incheon Airport, I exchanged contact information with the Co-pilot, Jeon Seong-wook. There was a part of me that wished to quickly make acquaintances at the company to adapt more comfortably. Besides, he was sociable and had a good personality. If I had to make a colleague, someone like him seemed suitable for me. It was late at night, and the company's bus was set to depart only after 30 minutes. "Where are you located? If you're near Gimpo or Banghwa, I can drive you…

When the plane was at 30,000 feet, I switched to autopilot. I make eye contact with the Co-pilot and turn the seatbelt light off. Immediately, someone sticks their face into the camera outside the cockpit. It's the cabin steward. I identified myself and he opened the door for me. “What kind of meal would you like me to prepare?” “Oh, I like Korean food… Co-pilot, what do you want?” If the Co-pilot chooses Korean food, I must eat something else. Pilots are not allowed to eat the same meal…
