WHAT IF

WHAT IF the pandemic did not happen?

Crash Landing On You's wrap-up party happened a week ago but it seems that both Bin and Jin is still overwhelmed by their drama's incomparable success. They are grateful.

But while in the comfort of her own home, Jin's manager called her to ask about her feedback on all the pending, overflowing amount of projects and endorsement offers around the world. 

"Can you spare just a month off for me? I just want to refresh my mind and regain my strength again." Jin pleaded.

 "Sorry. I can't give it to you this time" her manager answered without any other questions asked.

 Jin was so frustrated. She hangs up the call when she saw that another call is incoming. It was Bin. "I'll come and pick you up Will you be ready in an hour?" he asked. Thinking that it was just another dinner, "an hour would be okay." she answered.

Bin arrived in front of her house at exactly an hour after. He drove by himself after the filming of his newest CF. She looks a upset. "Let me guess? exhausted?" Bin glanced at her, with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand rubbed her palm to calm her. 

With their hands interlocked, Jin is so busy ranting about MS Team not allowing her to take a month off. Then she paused after noticing that the road seemed very familiar — "Where are we heading to?" she asked in a confused yet very excited tone. Bin just smiled as they enter the Incheon International Airport's VIP parking. 

"You deserve this. We deserve this." He kissed her hand. "I took care of everything. From the itinerary, to your clothes and other necessities, and most importantly—I have cleared our schedule for two weeks. 

They won't allow us for a whole month so I accepted the one-week off agreement. I also . . . " With disbelief, Jin did not even let him finish talking and just kissed him passionately. "You just don't know how much this means to me" with a shaky voice, almost tearing up, she hugged him tightly.

With their shades and cover-ups on, they walk thru the the departure area, Jin is still clueless about where they are really going. Bin offered his hand and lead the way to the VIP Area. While their hands are glued to each other, fast approaching the check-in counter, Jin squealed "We are going to Iceland?!!" Bin winked and said "Northern Lights, your long-time wish, Love."

Jin can't contain her happiness. She is smiling like a baby every time their eyes meet, so giddy. Bin reserved for two connecting seats on the First Suite of the plane. The aircraft had a very smooth take off and as soon as the seatbelt signs were off, "Is there anything I can help you with? Would you like to have some snacks right now?" the flight attendant asked.

 "Can I have whisky on the rocks and a glass of champagne for her please" Bin kindly ordered. After serving, the flight attendant prepared their seats into beds and closed both of their sliding doors as requested. Bin pressed the 'Do Not Disturb' Button. 

Bin fixes their blanket— making sure that her body is full covered so she won't get cold. As they cuddle, Jin opens the monitor in front of her to look for movies they both love. Since the flight is long they decided to have a re-watch of the 'Before Sunrise' Trilogy. 

"My Destiny" Jin teasingly whispers in his ear. They both chuckled as they both reminisce about the videos on SNS that she shows him. How their paths crossed just like in the movies. As the movie started, Jin placed her head on Bin's arms and hugged him, "I crave for nights like this" she blushed. He kisses her forehead, down to her nose and lips. The movie just keeps on playing while he found himself drawing her closer.

Bin was staring at her while Jin suddenly woke up—their eyes met. "Do you want me to ask for our breakfast?" Bin asked while combing her hair away from her face. With her lips pouting and hand rubbing her eye , she nods her head. Bin makes the 'I knew it' face. He presses the attendant call button.
