[NARRATION]

On the cheapest flight, seats arranged in rows horizontally and vertically, hand carry bags or luggage resting above passengers' heads.

How come these two people are on the same airplane? It is an unexpected and coincidentally event that can happen. The way to their homeland.. these two people encountering again is dangerous. Just like the pandora's box, it is better to leave it and not open up about their past again.

YR 2013

Some noise was distracting me from trying to fall asleep to reduce the pain of being jet-lagged. I eventually found where it was coming from. This woman who was sitting next to me by the window part played some music. The headphones' wire wasn't plugged in all the way. I fixed it for her and the phone's screen flashed on. She was listening to Keith Ape's Proof III.

Damn, she's lit. Seeing Keith Ape's name brought back some memories. We knew each other back then. I'm in Club Eskimo. He's in The Cohort. A lot of Club Eskimo fans urge both of the squads to collaborate. For now, we're all still establishing ourselves.

It was around dinner time and the flight stewardess asked me what I want. The woman sitting next to me was wearing a hoodie so I couldn't see her face properly; wanted to chat with her about rap. Sushi was on the menu this time but the fish was cooked not raw. There was no response from the woman on what she wanted to eat so I asked her in case she didn't hear the flight stewardess.

"Excuse me, she's asking you if you want sushi or bibimbap," I asked her.

"I'll get the sushi," I handed her the sushi and still didn't get a glimpse of her face because of the damn hoodie.

Just really gets excited when people listen to the same music as me. The flight was roughly about 2 hours. After landing, I finally arrived in Korea after leaving 3 years ago.

YR 2013

Man, I miss Korea a lot. Listening to Keith Ape's Proof III makes me feel good af. This man sitting next to me, however, touched the wire of my headphones. He just politely plugged it in all the way. No wonder, the volume wasn't that high. It was dinner and I noticed that the man was looking at me, not even sure. Good thing, I have my hoodie because I didn't want to socialize at that time. S/O to assc. Although I ended up talking to him about sushi because I didn't hear the flight stewardess. I felt like he wanted to ask me something but need not bother doing that so.

Finally, the airplane was landing and I peeked at the window. Korea did change. Much modern and lit. Now I have to search for transportation. I saw the man outside the airport again and realized that I heard his voice somewhere before. Somehow, he looked familiar. I noticed that a business card "just appeared" in my hoodie's pocket. The only thing on it was the company's name and TRBL..
