One Last Chance

Seoul Part 1

Engfa and Charlotte arrived home around midnight after dropping Charlotte's parents at Char's condo. While they were physically exhausted from their day, their hearts were full with love and warmth. 

Harmoniously, Engfa carried all their things from the car boot to the house while Charlotte carried their pets carefully to their beds. They have an unspoken system that did not require verbal communication, that was how in sync they were. 

After the house was locked and the pets had all settled in, Engfa held Charlotte's hand to the bathroom to have a slow and easy hot shower together before they retired for the night, wrapped up safe and warm in each other's arms.

The next day was Christmas but they spent the morning easily. They each posted a family picture of the two of them with their children on all social media with the caption ‘Family ❤️’. The pictures gained hundreds of thousands of likes in just half a day, all of the comments were happy and positive for them.

Now they were packing for their Korea holiday which would take flight tomorrow and they'd return on the 2nd of the new year. After a long meeting with boss, they had adjusted their work schedule which gave them a shorter working hour per day and more holiday leaves which they were both taking advantage of.

“Have Fa planned all of our itinerary or are we just going with the flow?” Charlotte asked as she folded another set of outfits into her luggage. 

“I have planned everything, teerak. I mean, P’Sun had done most of the booking and stuff. I should give him an awesome year end bonus for all that he has done for us.”

“He's amazing and deserves it na. I hope he enjoys his break too while we're gone.” Charlotte smiled as she passed her girlfriend a hoodie. 

“He's going to Bali with his family.” Engfa nodded, happy for him. Then she added, “Do you want to see the itinerary so you can add in the places you want to go?”

Charlotte looked at her for a while, she didn't know why such a small act from Engfa could warm her up so much. Engfa was really the most considerate partner she's ever had. She nodded happily and the couple sat close to each other with the iPad on Engfa's lap, talking and going through their holiday plans together.

That evening, Engfa dropped their children at a very high end pet hotel that she usually put Gyo in when she's outstation. After all, they have three kids who were fairly high maintenance and it was not convenient to ask P’Daad take care of them when she had two cats herself. 

Engfa gave the manager a strict talking to while Charlotte said her goodbyes and hugged her babies. 

“We'll be back soon, my darlings.” Charlotte kissed all of them, “Take care of each other.”

Engfa also hugged and kissed them, before leaving she reminded the employees again, “Please don't separate them at any time, and make sure Phalo is not in contact with other dogs or aggressive animals.” 

The couple went to sleep early as Engfa had booked them a flight at 6 am, it would take them a little over 5 hours to reach Incheon International Airport and Seoul's time zone was two hours ahead of Bangkok.

Somtam sent the couple to Survanabhumi Airport at 4am and helped them carry all of their luggages to the check in point. Engfa and Charlotte yawned as they strolled along the empty airport. 

“Why did Fa book so early again?” Charlotte grumbled as they walked to their counter. 

“Teerak, the airport gets so busy and crowded after the sun rises. It's best we leave the country before anyone finds us.” Engfa explained even though she was actually complaining in her head as well for the early flight, it sounded so rational while she was planning but in reality she was very sleepy.
