The Perfect Wife

Chapter 34

Over 1 year later.

"Aaack, wait! Excuse me! I’m sorry. I just need to get through!"

The sun was brightly shining down on the airport in Barcelona, Spain. A woman was crying out as she ran. Short hair. White t-shirt with jeans. A large backpack haphazardly shook over her shoulders. The woman was holding a white boarding pass in her hand.

Inside the airport, announcements were blaring over the speakers in both English and Spanish. They made the woman even more nervous.

When she finally arrived at the boarding gate, the flight attendant was just about to close the gate. She ran towards the flight attendant. The blonde, Spanish flight attendant laughed as she took the woman’s boarding pass.

"Han Lalisa-ssi?"

Min Yuan was now a woman named Han Lalisa. She nodded as she gasped for breath.

"Yes, yes."

"Please come in."

She barely made it.

The flight attendant returned the boarding pass to Lalisa. As she gripped it in her hand, Lalisa began to head inside the plane. Possibly because everyone else had finished boarding, the sunny passageway was completely empty. A stewardess was waiting for Lalisa at the entrance of the plane, smiling brightly.

For a little over a year, Lalisa had traveled the world.

She left the chaotic country of Korea and went to China. She crossed through the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal and wandered around India. From there, she went back up to Europe, then the United States, then down to South America, then to Africa. She was going through Spain and was now on her way to Dubai.

The backpack felt awkward at first, but now it was like a part of her body. Born as a lady of a conglomerate family, she began to live in terribly-maintained guest houses, went on buses with dogs and chickens in India, climbed steep mountains, and met exotic people. This became her daily life.

She didn’t know what was happening in Korea. She didn’t listen to any news related to Korea. She only had the smartphone she was holding, and money… The alimony she received from her ex-husband was enough.

Ex-husband. That’s what she called Jungkook now.

Over a year had passed since they had gotten a divorce. It had been over a year since she changed her surname back to Han after confirming her biological connection with the Han family name.

“As-salamu alaikum.”

Lalisa didn’t know how many planes she had boarded thus far. The stewardess greeted her in Arabic.

“As-salamu alaikum.”

Lalisa stuttered and turned to the side out of habit.

"Miss, please come this way."

The stewardess blocked Lalisa and gestured to the opposite direction.

"Huh? That’s the business class cabin."

"You’ve been upgraded. Didn’t anyone tell you?"

Surprised, Lalisa looked down at her boarding pass. 1A. This was definitely in business class.

"Uh, why?"

"We’re fully booked today. Did you board a bit late?"

Occasionally, late boarders were upgraded when the aircraft was full. This seemed to be the case here.

“Nice.”

Lalisa accidentally let out a cheer as she turned around. She had just finished a pilgrimage to Santiago and was now on her way to Dubai. This flight was going to last for more than six hours. This upgrade came at a great time. What more could she ask for?
