The day had finally come, and my heart raced at the thought of traveling to another country! I tried to blend in with the seniors, but while they were somewhat nice, they ignored me for most of the time, barely acknowledging the small talk I attempted. So much for being part of the group, I thought, rolling my eyes internally.

—-

But hey, at least I got the window seat on the airplane! That small victory kept my spirits high. Things were going smoothly until one of our seniors was bumped by someone passing through the aisle.

"Oh, sorry!" the person apologized quickly, though their face didn't quite match the words.

"It's fine," the senior replied through gritted teeth. Yeah, he was definitely not fine.

Before things could escalate, another person, taller and definitely more put together, came from behind the first one. "I'm really sorry for my friend," they said, trying to smooth things over. I couldn't help but notice they were as... well, let's just say, they had a more admirable presence than the first one.

The senior, clearly trying to keep his cool, gave a tight smile. "I said it's fine. Now, can you please go?"

"Okay, okay. Jeez," the taller one muttered under their breath, giving a side-eye to their clumsy friend as they shuffled to their seats.

I watched them settle a few rows ahead, and couldn't help overhearing their conversation.

"Woah, that was so awkward," the taller one groaned as they plopped down. "I thought the guy was going to strangle you with his seatbelt."

The clumsy one shrugged, unfazed. "Whatever. We're going to Canada! Who cares? I'm just excited to finally hang out there. I hear Canadians are super nice."

"Yeah, except the ones on this plane, apparently," the taller one snickered. "Seriously though, what's the first thing we're doing? Maple syrup chugging contest? Bear wrestling?"

"Obviously the syrup," their friend said with mock seriousness. "We've gotta ease into the bear wrestling. Can't rush these things."

They both burst into laughter, making me stifle a grin. Okay, maybe this flight wasn't going to be that boring after all.

I couldn't resist listening in on their ridiculous conversation. Something about syrup chugging contests and bear wrestling? Who are these people? I thought, shaking my head. But the boredom of the flight got the better of me, and since my senior group clearly wasn't interested in talking, I decided to make things a little more... interesting.

I leaned over the seat in front of me, catching their attention. "So, are you guys actually planning to wrestle a bear? Or is that just a tourist fantasy?" I asked, dripping sarcasm.

The taller person, Bongie, raised an eyebrow, not missing the bite in my tone. "Depends," they said slowly. "Are you offering to find us one?"

The shorter one, Junho, snickered. "Or maybe you're volunteering to be the bear?"

My eyebrows shot up. Oh, so that's how it's going to be? "Trust me," I shot back, "you wouldn't survive five minutes if I was. You can barely walk through an aisle without causing a scene."

Junho gave a mock gasp, clutching chest. "Oh, harsh! Didn't realize we were getting roasted by the plane's resident window-seat expert."

Bongie smirked, leaning back in their seat. "Seriously, what's with the attitude? Just because you're stuck with your precious seniors doesn't mean you gotta take it out on us."

I rolled my eyes. "Right, because stumbling into people and making lame jokes about syrup is peak maturity. I can't believe I'm even engaging in this."

Bongie's grin widened. "Yet, here you are. Engaging."

I opened my mouth to retort but realized they had a point. Why am I still talking to them?

Junho, sensing my frustration, leaned in and added, "Look, we're just trying to have fun. You know, lighten the mood on this painfully long flight. You seem like you could use it too. Or are you just too cool for fun?"

I crossed my arms. "I'm plenty fun when I'm not surrounded by idiots."

"Oooh, she's got claws!" Bongie laughed, nudging Junho. "Watch out, we might not make it to Canada alive!"

I groaned, sinking into my seat. I take back what I said, this is going to be a long flight..
