TOP - Chapter 2 (1/1)
I quickly hide my face behind Daesung’s head, not really knowing why I should I hide myself for. I’m TOP, goddamnit! People know who I am just by the shape of my head!“Hyung” Daesung calls my name softly. “She’s gone”I got out of my ‘hiding place’ and look around for the girl with the black hair. “Are you sure?”“Yeah” Daesung says but when I look at him, he stares at me questioningly. “Why are you the one who hides?”“Ah… I…” I drake my brain, trying to find a decent excuse but how am I going to come up with one when I myself don’t know why I just hid.“Guys lets go! We need to go through custom first! The flight is boarding soon” The managers claim and save me from Daesung accusing glare.We finally got into the plane and I eye the entrance apprehensively. I hate airplanes. Have I said that before? My wariness for the flight keeps my mind off the stunning stewardess that I saw at the check in counter. I show the flight attendance my boarding pass and she guides me to my First class seat.As I found my seat, I nod appreciatively at the stewardess and she held her breath as she watches my face. I ignore her and start to put my bag into the compartment on top of my head. Once everything is settled, I make myself comfortable on my spacious light blue seat.Everyone passes my seat while once or twice people gasps when they realize who we are. I pretend to be sleeping to avoid the necessities of acting nice and cheerful towards random people. Let Seungri do all of that, he eats off attention.I am trying so hard to fall asleep so that I can skip the part where the plane takes off, when a finger taps on my shoulder. I groan inwardly before I open my eyes. I think I should make a sign that says ‘Do Not Disturb’ and place it on my forehead to avoid annoying people disturb my peace.Once my eyes open and caught the figure in front of me, I regret my decision of opening my vision.“Orange juice, Apple juice or some champagne, sir?” The black haired beauty smiles alluringly at me, holding a tray of glasses filled with beverages in her hand.I open my mouth a few times, wanting to answer but no words coming out of my dry throat.“He’ll have the champagne, thanks” Seungri leans towards me and answer the question instead.I nod quickly.She smiles and flashes out a set of white and perfectly in lined teeth behind her glossed lips. “Here you go, sir. Enjoy” She says as she places the drink on my handrest before she leaves and offer the drink to another passenger.I follow her figure as she masterfully strut the passageway between seats. Her small waists move left to right seductively, making my mouth producing more saliva than normal. I had to gulp down so that my drools don’t overspill out of my lips.“So she’s the one that struck you, huh hyung?” Seungri coos, snapping me back to the present.I fix my seating and pretend that I didn’t hear Seungri as I sip on my cheap champagne.“She’s hot” Seungri insists on teasing me.“Mm” I answer as my lips stuck on the glass of my champagne, hiding my blush.“Mind if I sneak in?” He asks and in an instant, I snap my head at him. He has his eyebrows wiggle teasingly at me.I clear my throat, “Go ahead”“Alright, don’t blame me if you got jealous” He says and leans back to his seat. I had to contain my snarls so that he wouldn’t have another evidence to tease me with.The plane finally takes off and my mind got wavered off from the girl as I continuously pray to God for Him to keep the plane afloat. When the plane finally calms down as it floats between clouds, I open my eyes in relieved. The seatbelt sign has been turned off and I can see Seungri quickly makes his way towards the flight attendants area.Being on the first row allow me to eavesdrop on Seungri flirtatious encounter, not that I want to know. His voice is loud and cheerful that it’s hard not to notice. I try to ignore it, looking out at the bright sky outside but I can’t help to hear the occasional cheesy tag line Seungri spews out and make the girls giggle.“Hyung” Jiyong calls me and I turn to see him seating in Seungri’s seat.“What?” I answer.“I can’t sleep” He whispers.“Why?” I entertain his complaints.“Because I keep thinking of meeting Hana soon!” He beams and I sneer. I know he’s just here trying to rub it in my face that he finally has a reason to go home to a person other than his family but jumping onto another’s seat just to do that is beyond annoying.“I’ll tell Seungri” I hiss to threatens him and the latter chuckles at my empty threat.“I can’t wait to kiss her, hyung” He giggles stupidly.“Put your dick in your pants at all times, Ji. You don’t want people caught you in compromising position later” I warn him and he becomes giddier.“Oh hyung… I can picture her in a lot of position” He says full of innuendos.“Yah!” My protectiveness kicks in. “You said you never did it with her!”Jiyong laughs cheerfully, “I’m joking! Geez, everyone should take a chill pill when it comes to Hana” He moves out of Seungri’s seat towards his own.I massage my temple as it begins to throb from the altitude. Ah, I hate flying. I sip on my champagne, trying to shake of any negative thoughts of flying. I watch outside the window as the clouds pass by slowly, as if the plane is swimming on top of it. I thank God for no turbulence.“Hyung” Seungri’s annoying voice cuts in my serenity.“Hm?” I answer without looking, still watching the movement of the sky.“I have someone I’d like you to meet” He says and tiredly, I turn my body.My body freezes when the person stands before me is smiling down at me. Her silky hair shines from the rays of sunshine that pass from the window. I can’t give a damn about Seungri who grins mischievously beside her for now I am gobsmacked by the beauty in front of me.“Annyeonghaseyo, Choi-ssi” She bows 90 degrees despite the small space of the alley.“A-a-a...” I stutter.“He said Annyeonghaseyo” Seungri chimes in and I wanted so bad to punch him in the face for mocking me.“Annyeonghaseyo” I say quickly, finding my brain.“Lee-ssi says you want to ask me something?” She smiles.“I told you to call me Seungri, noona-ya” Seungri whines.She chuckles and whispers softly so that only Seungri and I can hear, “My boss will fire me if I call you with your first name”“What’s your first name?” The words go out of my mouth without my brain registering it first.“Ah...” She flusters, surprise by my sudden question. “My name is Seohee”“Seohee…” I repeat, loving the way her name rolls in my tongue.“I think my hyung here wants your number” Seungri says without any manner.“Ya!” I throw the small pillow at him and successfully hit him straight in the face. “No, I didn’t ask for your number. Don’t worry about him. He’s a jackass”She smiles halfly, surprise by our behavior. “Well, is there anything else I can help you with, Lee-ssi?”“Ah, no… thank you” Seungri says as he rubs his sore nose.“It’s okay. I’ll let you guys rest” She bows and scurried towards the flight attendants area.After making sure that the girl had left, I pull Seungri’s wrist down so that he hunches towards me. He winces from my tight grip.“Do you want to die??” I hiss.He chuckles, “I was just trying to help you out, hyung!”“With what, huh??”“I want to turn you straight. Seriously, 7 years of no girlfriend?? That’s pathetic!” He clicks his tongue, mocking me.“Then go bother Youngbae! He has 24 years of no girlfriend!!” I scold him but being the annoying little brother that he is, Seungri simply shrugs and grimace as he let go of his wrist and plop himself back to his seat.“So that's why you hide” A whisper coming from behind me triggers my tenses again.“Shut up Dae or I’ll take your girlfriend from you” I threaten without the need to look and the raspy voice clams up.After 20 minutes of a boring movie, I sense carts moving along the alley and clutters of cutleries disturb the conversation of the actors in the movie. I try to stay concentrate on the boring movie because I know that soon the black haired beauty, wait no, I mean, Seohee would come and offer me the in flight meal.I wait, anxious to see the pitch black eyes and a glossy lips that never fails to captures my attention. As I tap my finger to the beat of my heart on to the table I’ve pulled out from under my hand rest, a cart finally stops next to me. I try to look nonchalant, focusing my eyes on the TV screen in front of me when I feel sudden warmth on my left.Naturally I turn to look.She has her face inches away from mine as she bends to ask me my preferences. She caught me off guard and I quickly jerk away. The proximity of her face and mine was unexpected that my heartbeat pounding erratically. I can smell her scent. Chanel No. 5 if I’m not mistaken.She smiles softly, not realizing how she affects me. “Would you like the Korean set or Chinese, sir?”Her voice chimes beautifully in my ear that I begin to visualize little babies with wings on their backs playing cello flying around her. Bright light coming from behind her and she start to elevate into the air. Wait, stop. What am I doing?She cocks her head slightly, not losing the smile on her lips, as she waits for my answer.“Uh… I’ll have…”“Korean. He loves Korean” For the nth time today, Seungri chimes in, putting some hidden message into his seemingly innocent sentence.“Can you butt out of this??!” I snap.He laughs and raises his arms in mock surrender, “I just thought you couldn’t speak Hangeul hyung”Seohee chuckles softly, placing her palm on her lips to cover her mouth. Grace is what flashes in my mind.“Err… yeah, I’ll have the Korean set.” I answer, shifting my gaze away from the girl to be able to think straight.She pulls out all the items and place it in a silver tray. All delicately arranged that it looks more like a 3 Michelin star restaurant dishes instead of an in flight meal. Her fingers work around the tray meticulously that she doesn’t even touch any other things aside from the ones that she needs to grab. Finally, she lifts up the tray and places it securely on the small table on top of my lap. As she bends, I instinctively inhale her scent.“What would you like to drink, sir?” She asks, caught me with my eyes close and my nose sniffing away.I snap my eyes open and blood rushes to my face, “I... I…”“Champagne? Wine? Or Juices?” She quickly offers me options. I think she is so used to my stuttering by now.“What wine do you have?” I quickly reply. I decide to let out my knowledge of wine and show her my alcohol savvy. It always has a certain charm on girls and I can quickly sweep them off their feet after I mention a name or two of some wine château in france.She caught off guard by my question and look around the bottles on her tray. They do serve different range of wine and spirits from the look of the bottles on the trolley but I’m sure I can shot out a name or two that might not be available in flight and stun the beauty with my expertise.“I can serve you range of drinks, sir. We have Cuvee Dom Perignon 2000, Meursault 2006 Domaine Bouchard Pere, Staete Landt 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, Château La Lagune 200 Haut Medoc, Yabby Lake Vinyard Pinot Noir 2005, and Dow’s Vintage Port 1985” She says confidently.I am impressed by her fluent pronunciation of all the names that people who hears it might assume she’s French. The way she says the brand of each wine as if she’s so used to all of the high-class drinks. I guess that’s what is expected from a flight attendant who serves first class passengers.I tap my chin, deciding on which wine that I should brag, “Hmm… You don’t have Château Lafite Rothschild Pauillac? Preferably around 2009?”The smile on her lips vanishes with a shock expression on her face. Inside, I know that I’ve won. Sooner or later, she will definitely praise me for my posh taste and begin her flirting, like every other female population. I smirk, can’t help but feeling victorious.After a beat, she composes herself. She takes a big breath and her radiant smile returns to her flawless face. Breathtaking.“No, sir. I apologize but we don’t serve that wine in this flight, nor do we serve Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac or Château Latour Pauillac. If those are the ones that you are after, I suggest you visit wine cellars once you landed in Seoul instead. I’m sure Jell Wine in Hanam Dong serves one. Anything else you would like?”Her voice is loud, clear and composed. But the thing that slaps me in the face is none other than her knowledge of wines. I hadn’t expected that reply coming from her for I know that women don’t really pay attention to wine growers, but her, what the heck was that??“Well?” She tilts her head impatiently without losing her smile.“Err…I’ll… I’ll… I’ll just get the Dow’s Vintage Port” I am back with my stuttering.“Excellent” She remarks and quickly grabs the black bottle by the bottom and pour some dark liquid into the wine glass. She places the glass wine carefully on my side table and smile before she push the trolley out of my area.I bury myself deep inside the blanket for the rest of the flight, hoping to never see the stewardess ever again. I feel ridiculed, stupid and extremely inadequate somehow. My gaze doesn’t bother her, my wine knowledge doesn’t budge her and my stuttering worsens when I’m around her. I’ve only met her today and she already makes me feel impotent and small.The pilot make the announcement that the plane is going to land in 15 minutes so I have no other option but get out of my hibernation and set the seat straight. As I fix my clothing, I keep my eyes as a look out in case the stewardess comes out to me and startles me again. No, no one can startle me! I am the motherfucking TOP! I am cool!The plane lands beautifully with not much bumping when the wheel touches the ground, which I very much appreciate. Once the plane park in its designated spot and the seatbelt light is off, we rise up instinctively and grab our belongings. A stewardess comes up to me to my surprise to offer me my coat. When I see her brown hair, I sigh in relief.“Exciting flight, wasn’t it hyung?” Seungri tease as he shoves something into his front jeans pocket.I ignore the ever so annoying Seungri and walk ahead of him towards the exit. I put on my sunglasses and put the straps of my bag on my shoulder. As I reach the exit, my breathing once again comes to halt.She stands there, just next to the exit door, with wind blowing her fringe slightly and her black eyes shines invitingly. Her lips form a beautiful smile, not too much but enough to make my heart goes crazy. Unconsciously, my mouth falls open by the sight.“Thank you for flying with us. Have a great day, Cho-ssi” She says warmly.Wait, what did she just call me??I stop abruptly in front of her, halting the line behind me and faces her. I smile sincerely back at her. I thank God for my sunglasses because sometimes girls would spazz out and become incoherent whenever I show my eyes.“It’s Choi, actually. Choi Seunghyun” I remind her my name. Maybe she’s too tired that she mispronounced my name. I don’t want to embarrass her by pointing out her mistake, but I can’t help but to fix it. I just want to hear her says my name properly, I guess.Suddenly, the smile on her face dissapears, replaced by a deadpan look as she fixes her gaze at me. She looks at me straight in the eyes, as if my sunglasses don’t block her view. I feel her gaze penetrating deep into me that I think she can see my soul. After a few second of staring impassively at me, she whispers. “I don’t care”
