I am now at the airport checking in my pink luggage for the five days and four nights trip when my phone beeped.

Our tour leader, Cloud, has messaged us in Viber saying that he is already at the boarding gate where he will be checking us later on.

According to him, we are twenty in our group tour.

So, I presume most are here already on or before our call time considering the airport is quite far from our homes.

I thanked the staff for assisting me in my luggage and placing a tag behind my boarding pass.

I was wearing my best outfit today for the photo ops I am planning to do later on.

Petite France and Nami Island are the firsts places on our list and I just knew I will love the them already!

I was casually walking towards the waiting stainless benches when I saw Cloud with a big smile on his face.

For someone on his late twenties like me, Cloud looks young for his age.

He has this boy-next-door aura and enlivening atmosphere around him.

I'm betting my hundred bucks, he is also a part time model.

"Hey. You must be Miss Legazpi?" Cloud asked, sounding quite unsure of himself.

I nodded. "You can call me, Cyn, instead. Miss Legazpi sounds so formal and I feel old in that." I joked and he smiled again.

"Great! Cloud is the name. We'll be boarding in a few minutes. Let's just meet at Area A after getting our luggages and arriving in Incheon, alright?" Cloud said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, sure. Noted on that." I smiled at him too and excused himself probably to meet the others.

I opened my phone and logged in to my Facebook and Instagram account.

I raised my boarding pass that is inserted in my passport and snapped a picture of it with the Boarding Counter on the background.

@cynthiawho will be seeing you later, Seoul! 🛫🇰🇷🍂🍁

As soon as I have posted on my status, I put it back on my bag.

We still have thirty minutes before boarding time.

I closed my eyes and tried to momentarily shoo away the noise to sleep for a moment.

But my supposedly peaceful nap was ruined because I heard a strangely familiar voice in the background.

"Oh my gosh! I really thought, we're going to be late!" The chirpy female voice exclaimed, oblivious to people trying to catch some sleep here.

"Glad you made it on time!" I heard Cloud's cheerful voice answered her.

Cloud gave the same instructions to her and I did not dare to open my eyes.

This couldn't be possible!

How come she's here!

I have been avoiding her for almost ten years!

And then, we will just meet here?

Really?

When I'm supposed to unwind and relax?

This must be my lucky day!

Insert sarcasm.

I felt someone sat a couple of inches beside me.

The person stood up and I really thought that person left but when I opened my eyes, I came face to face with Crimson Oliveros.

Crimson Oliveros.

My archenemy.

My childhood bully.

"Look who do we have here." Crimson said in a singsongy voice.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest.

I decided to ignore her and closed my eyes again.

"Huh? What are you talking about, sis?" I heard her companion asked her clueless of what she was saying.

"Just someone whom I knew way before I become this big." I heard Crimson bragged about herself.

I sighed and opened my eyes.

There's no use pretending to be asleep when these people are so loud.

"Passengers of Flight J567 of Hello Airlines, you may now start boarding at Gate 11B. Please prepare your boarding tickets while our staff assist you on board. Thank you."

My train of thought was cut off by the boarding announcement.

Everyone started getting up and falling in line while I remained seated.

I let them go in first as I don't want to go thru the hassle of standing for a long time.

And as usual, Crimson and her friend, went in with the people.

I sighed.

I will be with her all throughout the trip.

But that doesn't mean that I will necessarily have to hang out with her, right?

I can act civil, though, as long as she outgrew her childish behavior.

When only few people were standing at the boarding counter, I checked the seat for my things if I have left anything and stood up too.

I readied my passport and boarding pass with me and smiled at the attendant when she tore off the other half of the pass.

Seat No. 11C, it says on my pass.

When I stepped inside the huge airplane, I walked and quietly searched for my seat number.

I smiled when I saw that my seat is beside the window.

My favorite spot!

I always find looking at clouds relaxing and comforting.

I always pertain to them as 'cloud candy' in my social media accounts.

My smile disappeared when I discovered who I am seated with.

Yes, I get to sit by the window and enjoy the view.

But, on my right side, the face of this annoying person will haunt me in my dreams.

It will be the longest two hour flight ever!
