➴ airport。

@cha eunwoo. Miyeon gasped at his response. In a few hours? They could definitely be wrapped up within a few hours. Heck, she squinted carefully at his face and physique, they could be done within an hour when he looked like this. No outfit changes needed. Even his hair looked picture ready. "It'll ju-" Miyeon began before getting interrupted by the barista and the pilot slipped away to order. Miyeon just couldn't keep her eyes off him. She crossed her arms as she thought of ways to persuade him as he ordered his drink. "Eunwoo," She overheard him say his name and unintentionally committed it to memory as she stepped forward to order a veranda traveler and a variety of individual drinks that were specific to the tastes of her employees. After paying with her company card, Miyeon naturally fell back by Eunwoo's side as they waited for their orders.

"It'll only be an hour or two tops," She continued their conversation with a smile, easing him into the conversation from the side before turning to make eye contact, "My team needs a model or else our project will fall through, could you spare some time to help us, Eunwoo-ssi?" Miyeon opened her clutch and pulled out a business card with her name and number on it. "If there's any compensation you need for your time, you can contact me any time," She explained and continued to persuade, "You said you have to fly in a few hours, right? I'm sure we'll be wrapped up before then if you agree to it now."

@cho miyeon. he was nearly at the front of the line, only one person away from being up at the counter to state his order. the sound of heels against the polished and immaculate floors of the airport resounded nearby, blending in with the other white noise of the busy airport. eunwoo didn't realize such steps were approaching him, coming to a stop right beside him. he turned to look at the person whom had now approached him, regaining his usual calm composure once more, stopping his silent, stifled chuckles. eunwoo jerked his head back in the slightest, taken aback in surprise to see that it had been the girl whom had been staring at him, literally less than a minute ago.

his lips curved into a small smile. it was flattering, being asked for his number by the latter. but she was hardly the first person to do so. as well, although he appreciated the courage she exhibited to ask him, it was an effort that made eunwoo reluctant of their first impressions— no matter how physically attractive they were. from his previous experiences, both past relationships and travels alike, people who were bold enough to ask strangers for their numbers, also had the tendency to be repetitive; go through the exact same ordeal with another person they sought out. if he were in the city for longer, perhaps consideration of indulging himself with her company would be a possibility, but not when he had a flight to fly in a few hours. "i'm flattered, but i'm so sorry, i unfortunately don't have time right now... i'm flying out in a few hours." eunwoo politely declined.

the pilot was then saved by the barista, whom had called out to advance the line— for him to quickly apologize once more, before walking away from her and to the counter. "one grande iced americano please, and uhh..." he looked over the glass case of showcased baked goods. "— a cream cheese brioche bostock." he then scanned his phone on the card reader, paying for his purchase. "eunwoo." he then stated, telling the barista his name in advance, so that they could write down his name on the cup. thanking them, he then moved off to the side, awaiting for his drink.

@cha eunwoo. They managed to book the airport, but not the models. What was the whole point of shooting at the airport without models? Miyeon huffed with her hands on her hips, shaking her head. How did her team manage to fumble the ball so poorly? Though, realistically, it wasn't their fault, but the modeling agency. Her team must have been suffering from the stress, addled in anxiety about the project, but luckily, they had someone as reliable as Miyeon as their director! "Let's get their spirits up first, we still have some time to figure things out!" She cheered silently to herself with a raised fist and turned to her team, "Alright, let's get pumped! Who wants coffee? My treat!" Well, the company's treat, but the card had her name right beneath the company's name.

The soft waves of her bleached hair bounced over her blazer as her shoes clacked on the airport floor. "Coffee, coffee," She mumbled to herself, following the signs and scents of coffee, but, instead of coffee, something better appeared before her. There he was, glowing ethereally. Was he an angel? Miyeon couldn't help but gawk at this man until he eventually took notice of her.

Her eyes widen in embarrassment for being caught staring, but she bit down on her lip and decided to tread on instead, mirroring the smile on his lips. She approached him with a loud determined clack with every step, then tucked her hair behind her ear as she blushed and batted her eyelashes, asking, "Excuse me, are you free right now?" Her shoulders swung from side to side as she bit on her lip, her doe eyes looking up into his gaze, "And if not, could I get your number?" Gosh, it was so embarrassing to be casting a model in the midst of an airport, but if she could pull this off, the entire project would be saved. Miyeon could only hope he would agree to follow her.

@cho miyeon. 24°c, sunny, cloudy, winds 10km/hr. it wasn't perfect flying conditions, but it wasn't bad either. if it didn't change, it would be fine, but if it did, his flight in a few hours to bali might get delayed. knowing his usual luck with work, eunwoo predicted the latter. it looked like it was going to be another day of living in the airport. the past week had been rough; he hadn't slept in his own bed for more than 5 days now. it was summer, but not exactly summer weather. the temperatures fluctuated varied and greatly on a daily basis. it was also fairly damp; rainy days and rising hot air was perfect combination for severe thunderstorms. this also delayed airplane checks, taking them twice as long. flights also were lengthened, due to turbulence and cloudy skies.


putting his phone away, he looked up and let out a soft sigh of exasperation. he was probably going to have to end up napping in the sky lounge, eunwoo could feel it in his gut. while the sky lounge's lounge chairs and sofas were still comfortable, it still wasn't his bed, nor home sweet home. having time to kill, eunwoo got up from the bench, heading to the nearest starbucks. it was time for some coffee and a snack.

as usual, the line to the ubiquitous coffee franchise was long and busy. for once, eunwoo didn't mind it, as he wasn't in any rush. walking up to the line, he stood in it, awaiting his turn for his order. the pilot looked above at the menu boards, unsure of what food item to get. he rarely got anything to eat from starbucks, as much of the food was awful, but he knew he needed to at least eat something now. most likely, he wasn't going to have time later. he was still deciding, when his backside felt oddly prickly... eunwoo could literally feel a pair of eyes—someone was firing invisible lasers with their vision. not wanting to directly confront whomever was behind him, eunwoo craned his neck slowly, as if he were pretending to survey the entire general vicinity. from his peripheral vision, he saw who had been looking at him; a female, with long, dark blonde hair, fawn-like eyes, and small face. without warning, he then glanced at her, forcing her to be caught—their eyes locking. she let out a small gasp, making it more than obvious that she indeed had been the one to stare intensely. eunwoo faced front, smiling widely to himself, trying not to laugh. it was comedic, like something out of a cheesy, poorly written k-drama.
