Beautiful and lonely
Ep. 03
박지민
"Should I sleep..?"
I don't think I slept even five hours a night in Boston.
Jimin was awkward with the overflowing time.
I took out my laptop again and started researching my thesis.
I ate the in-flight meal and watched a movie.
The long-awaited break wasn't all that enjoyable.
박지민
"When will you arrive?"
승무원
"There are about 4 hours left. You can see the time in real time on the screen here in front of you."
박지민
"Oh, yes."
I used to come and go sometimes
I couldn't get used to the time difference, let alone the plane.
김석진
_ Jimin- When will you arrive...?
정호석
_ Jimin, when will you arrive~~ I miss you^^
김남준
_ Call me when you get back!! As soon as you get off the plane-!
김태형
_ Contact me when you arrive in Korea. The project is ending early, so I think I'll be able to leave within a week! ㅇㅁㅇ
박지민
"...where was your home?"
When I heard that Taehyung would be leaving the country within a week, I estimated the size of my room.
As for the room, it would be good if you could bring something.
Jimin was wondering if he should buy another bed because Taehyung didn't care about the room.
박지민
" ...the house is small..."
Most people wouldn't say that a 40-pyeong apartment in Seoul is small.
That too, in Gangnam, Seoul. But Jimin was a little different.
Maybe it's because I lived in a big mansion since I was young
I was completely unfamiliar with the apartment.
I was looking for a house in the US and was planning to stay there for about a month.
If Taehyung was coming, I had to find a house quickly.
박지민
_ Kim Taehyung, I'm on a plane. Can you come into my house?
김태형
_ Oh, why? Isn't your house big?
박지민
_ You haven't bought a house? What should I pack?
김태형
_ What about clothes... and computers... and TVs?
박지민
_ Sigh... I knew it. Leave the TV alone. You might have to go to the US, right? Just pack what you really need and buy the rest when you come back to Korea.
김태형
_ Really? I've never done anything like this before.
박지민
_ Yeah, you must be foolish. When will the project be finished?
김태형
_ Soon. It won't take a week.
박지민
_ Okay, I'll call you when I get there.
김태형
_ Oh, okay.
Of course, there's no way I'd pack something like that.
Who would say he's not the only son of a rich family?
I didn't even know how to do housework.
The profession of medicine has been passed down for generations, so both my father and mother are doctors.
Grandma, grandpa, and even uncle.
Since everyone was a doctor, Taehyung never ran errands since he was young.
So that's why when Taehyung first went to America, he was worried that Seokjin would starve to death.
I can't even order delivery food, let alone eat alone.
Right now, I can make instant food and rice?
박지민
_ Don't ever bring food with you when you come.
김태형
_ Really? You can't bring anything? Why?
박지민
_ How did you graduate from college...?
김태형
_ ... How did it happen...? Maybe.
박지민
_ I'll call you when I get there. Keep the sound on.
Jimin put down his phone and tapped the screen a few times, familiarly.
The number 1 was written in large letters, meaning there was one hour left.
Jimin smiled at the thought that this boring flight would soon be over.
박지민
"Wow... It'll only take an hour."
Then, a text message arrived.
전정국
_ Hey, you haven't arrived in the country yet? Text me as soon as you get off the plane!
박지민
_ Not yet. I'll be there in an hour.
전정국
_ Wow, is it okay to do this on a plane?
박지민
_ It doesn't matter to me. I can use it in both the US and Korea, but it's a bit expensive.
전정국
_Okay - Then text me when you get off the plane!
박지민
_ Okay, I understand.
I briefly looked at photos of America on my phone.
The first day I went to America.
At that time, I was just nervous because it was my first time going abroad.
Right now, I just.... should I say I have no feelings at all?
While I was looking at the photos for a while, an in-flight announcement came on.
Ladies and gentlemen. we are now approaching 인천 Airport.
Please fasten your seat belt and put seat back and table in the upright position.
Dear passengers, our flight is now landing. Please fasten your seat belts and return your seats and tables to their original positions.
박지민
"Ah..."
Finally arrived in Korea
Jimin slowly got up and exited the plane.
