Will you call me Max..

Chae Soo Bin prepared to packed as she would very soon be working on flights again.

She tried on one of blue flight attendant uniform and looked at herself in the mirror in her room.

She looked elegant she thought. It was a wonder she got this job back then. There were so many girls there when she was applying.

The lady who was in charge of the girls looked serious. But then she began to be friendly as she greeted all the girls including Chae Soo Bin. The most quick witted, friendly, good manners girls were chosen. Chae Soo Bin could not believe it. She remembered she nearly cried by the time she knew she was going to be air hostess. And it was good she had thought although it was tiring, and she had to be away from her home on flights. Because the air company she worked for was international airline. She was really grateful then. She became stronger both physically and mentally because of this job. She learned even more manners, about beauty and make up as well as swimming to enter this work as trainee at airlines.

Chae Soo Bin thought why she wanted to become air hostess. When she was a child she thought flight attendants were elegant, well mannered, gentle and friendly. Moreover, Chae Soo Bin had been fancinated with the idea of traveling around the world and looking at the world from the above sky.

When she was a young child, many people teased her about her becoming air hostess. Many of her cousins said that she could not become one due to her shyness and gentleness. But those sayings just made Chae Soo Bin more determined to do best on it. She did not even know if she could actually be succeeded in this professional but she tried the best. With determination and all her might she did archived. She had been glad to take nursing as her major (which was to support her in her application to become flight attendant). The knowledge were worth to life. Then Chae Soo Bin thought about Mian, her sweet junior. Mian must be happy with her marriage life now.

Chae Soo Bin sighed then. She still kept the bridal bouquet she got from the wedding. She then thought about Kim Seokjin. "Mr Front Car Door Guy!" She could still remembered the way he came out of car elegantly. They had met on several occasions now. Their mothers were friends. Chae Soo Bin knew herself that she him very much. And as much as she tried to read his eyes, she thought he liked her at least a little. Nonetheless, she did not dare to think way too far. She was not sure about anything since she had never been in love before ( apart from her crush to Lee Min Hong).

This evening, Chae Soo Bin got duty for flight to Rome, Italy.

In the middle of the flight time, when the meal were served, she encountered him, Kim Seokjin. He grabbed her hand from behind just right after she served to another 1st class seat and had to passed his( which was served by another).

"Heyy, Miss..." he began.

"Mr Kim...."

Her face was full of surprise.

Their greetings was short because she was at work.

They were both surprised and happy to meet here.

It was likely they will encounter each other again afterwards too.

*************

Rose continued to focus on her full time work at Kim Company.

And sometimes, in the evening, she actually spent sometimes with Lee Min Hong about his home design.

Days passed by.

Rose first draft for the house was nearly done. She met Lee Min Hong again after work outside at nearby cafe.

"The draft look good!...and it only needed to be a little more neat" he said.

...

Before, they departed for the day, Lee Min Hong told Rose.

"Rose, from this day on .. will you call me by name, Max!"

"But you are my boss!"

"Well, what does it matter, we have known each other for long now"

And Rose finally agreed to call him, "Max". ( I will use Max instead of Lee Min Hong for most from now on).

That weekends, Rose went back to Busan to her home. She felt like her home was warmer this time because both her parents at home and Beomgyu was a good boy as usual and her elder brother stayed at home more than ever although he went out a lot of times still. Her grandmother was here too.

They all welcome her warmly.

Rose went to her bedroom. She sat on her bed. She looked at the guitar which she put beside her wardrobe. She had not touched it for a couple of years now since she broke with In Ah, her ex boyfriend.

She picked it up again, removed dust with a cloth near by and played the song, Eyes Closed by Halsey. It sounded good to her again.

After sometimes, she put the guitar on the bed and slept beside it and started to dream.
