The flight attendant 8785be0417 returned the boarding b5bc6d2435 pass to SooHyun. As she 7c497525f7 gripped it f691d78730 in her 84dc3bc157 hand, SooHyun e99270d042 began to ac4b5857bb head inside 81a2e9326f the plane. Possibly because everyone 85e1339a31 else had finished fa35765169 boarding, the sunny 49ffb6fe70 passageway was completely 61f65863f7 empty. A stewardess was e9fb0b1122 waiting for SooHyun 67c035cfce at the entrance 0a7261b7f3 of the plane, 5b2047ad2c smiling brightly.6c0a2f7fb4b8649a

The backpack felt 4eb081bf3a awkward at first, d7fb4f3cb3 but now it 2390d20698 was like a db4e2d0b59 part of her b8fceafbf5 body.

Startled, SooHyun 378f05b776 finally sat 9ebe3570db in her de9f13d7cb seat. The stewardess took 9ad96064c4 her backpack and 61609f6daa put it up 39dcf297a1 in the overhead 87816d73b0 compartment.

Did JoonHun think that way as well? Did he feel relieved now that they had broken up? Did he begin to doubt his feelings for her?
