Love hits hard.

1 Its a good day.

"How fucking rude" every morning its the same. "I need to change that ring tone" you moan under your breath, but you wont. You always say you will and you never do.

Its early and you are heading to the airport. Time to make those parasites move. The thought in your head as you shower. Washing your hair, its got long, but no point in cutting it just yet, i looks good and its not been this length ever. Its been ages since you dyed it too. The smell of sandalwood and cotton fills your nose as you rise off.

Wrapping a towel around you, brushing through your hair and then a vigorous dry with another towel. The luggage was taken to the airport yesterday and you have clothes out for traveling. How you actually hate wearing clothes, or seeing others, or anything that's not chilling on a flat surface. But there's work to be done.

The manager meets you in the car and gives you a schedule for the rest of the day. Your brothers have sent messages for traveling and saying that you own them a dinner when you get back. Its always the same with them, who ever goes out of the country pays for a meal when they get back. It started as a joke, "if you are getting jobs overseas, then you must be making bank" you didn't even know what that meant, you had to ask them, how they teased you. "we need to buy you a dictionary, help keep you up to date with the kids".

Its a long flight today and you replied with "You have all been to the US in the last few months, and we still haven't had time to do the last dinner, so I'm only buying coffees".

Ring Ring. Its Hobi.

"ya, how can you only spring for coffee, your older and its your duty" he laughs hysterically at you. Its good to hear him happy. He's not long back from the US and Europe. So you remind him, "hey, don't come at me, you still haven't arranged dinner." both laughing he reminds you to "have fun" on your trip. Of course do the schedules, but, "there's plenty of hours to fill when your not on the clock". Now that Hoseok has found his happy, he wants it for you. Next thing you know Jin will be saying the same thing. You are happy for them both. But its been a hot minute since you last let someone in and your not sure this trip will be good for it. "suga hyung, im not saying pick the first person you see, but at least blow the cobwebs off, or get them to do it" As the years have gone on you and Hoseok have grown very close. Normally this kind of talk wouldnt happen as he is younger than you by almost a year, but most of the time you forget about age, especially with Hoseok, Nam and Jin.

Putting in the ear buds, the security are making their last checks. The parasites are vast in number today. Hazards of the job. You think. Once the coast is as clear as it can be, you tap the ear bud and drown out the noise, the team around you today all work with hand signals and you keep your eyes pealed.

Easy enough. Now that you are in and approaching the desk, your manager taps your side, then his ears. Indicating that you need to hear whats going on now. The young lady at the desk seems nervous, it cant be easy with a massive crowd like that over there. The airport staff must hate when any idols have to leave. Probably take the day off to avoid it. You thing she must have drawn the short straw today. She looks young and new. Ha, could you imagine its her first day and this is what she has to endure. Before you know it, its your turn to scan your fight card and passport. You nod at her and give her your documents, she smiles and asks you to take off your hat, "i cant make the id" she pushes back what nerves she has and hold the photo page up. You try to hide the grin. But fail when she realises who you are. "sorry", she says, bowing her head. Her cheeks burst into red and she tries to hide. dropping your documents and getting flustered. When she hands the back to you, she avoids eye contact. Leaning in you laugh and say, "that was cute, I know you have a job to do, and I'm probably making the line wait longer, will you be part of the crew on the flight later?" she blushes even harder and the locks eyes with you. "sir, I'm just a desk member, enjoy your flight" as your manager joins you on the walk past the barriers, he asks if that was necessary. "what do you mean, she looked like she was going to burst, i had to try talk her down. make her feel relaxed" that's when you feel a twitch in your pants. Hmm, that's not happened for a while.

Making your way upstairs to the lounge, the team you have with you are chatting and getting coffee. A quick visit to the bathroom, you plan to sleep for the duration of the flight, yes you have only just woke up, but you like sleeping, your good at it. As you catch sight of yourself in the mirror, you bring out your passport and look at the picture. 'Yeah, its defiantly the hair'. You see some of the staff and ask to speak to the boss. Your manager watches you from his seat.

"I want to say that the treatment I've had to day is amazing. It cant be easy with all the extra people at the airport today. Your staff have been very professional" you bow to him and he is overjoyed. "I'm sorry that passport control took longer Mr Min, please don't hold it against us." You explain that it was you that cause any hold up, not the staff. And if possible you would like to tell that staff member in person how professional they were. The short man hurries off, faster than his legs can move and returns a few minutes later with the new start. "sir, this is the employee you wanted to talk to." he bows and walks away. The poor thing, she looks terrified.

Putting your arm out and leading her away from the others, you say thank you and ask her "please tell me your boss isn't upset with you?" she cant look in your eyes and just looks over your shoulder instead, "my boss only said you wanted me, to talk to me" yeah, you do want her. Fuck, were did that come from. Your brothers words and constant nagging ringing in your head and now junior has gave his second twitch of the day.

"tell me, about working here, I always imagined it was exciting but at the same time draining, having to deal with so many people all day!" she seems perplexed by your questions but goes in to full sales mode. Telling you about the training, the hours and potential for promotion. She said she learned English and German so she could be better at helping those that need any assistance. But she's been employed here for three months and not needed it.

The call for boarding gets your managers attention and he calls for you. "listen, i was going to sleep on the flight, but you have woken me up," you say with a smile growing behind your eyes, will she understand what you mean? Flustered, yeah, she defiantly understood, "my work day doesn't finish until seven pm and by that time you will be having dinner in a different country. Signing to your manager with your hands. You see him let out a deep breath and walk over. "miss, can you sign here, and here, and date here too." He hands her a tablet, the manager seems almost proud of you. He then asks her to place her hand on the screen and does the same for her boss. Walking back towards her, "ok, for the next 16 hours, your mine" hand on the small of her back, you walk towards the departure gate.
