'I don't have time'

It was the excuse he always used for everything. Being a captain and pilot was not an easy job, it involved being away from home for long periods of time, letting everything flow, and of course a lot of stress built up.

And to relieve those heavy feelings there was her.

Was it morally okay to sleep with a female flight attendant he had to see routinely, and pretend that the night before he hadn't been between her legs? Probably not. Did he care? Not much.

A grunt was heard from him in the hotel room. He'd done it a thousand times, but even to this day, being inside her made his head explode.

She had suggested once that they could go out some day. It didn't have to be as serious as a couple, but a date, have a coffee, talk to each other more outside the four walls where they knew each other perfectly. But Kwon refused to give in.

There was no time, he couldn't hold on to her when nothing was certain in his job. And he pretended to think it was stupid idea.

"Here, baby girl..."

He brought a hand to her cheek, turning her head to look at him after, again, he had turned her down.

"Don't give that a second thought. Focus on the present, here, with me..."

He gripped her wrist delicately, leaving a couple of wet kisses on her fingers before moving back to her mouth, and again, bringing their lips together in a burning, desperate kiss.

He wanted her to forget about that, the one thing that could be something more than carnal, so he spend all his time with her in his bed at night, stealing moans and whimpers from her that he enjoyed hearing, until finally they found themselves exhausted.

—

The sound of their labored breathing could be heard in the room, the crumpled sheets and their clothes on the floor.

Taekjoo sighed with his eyes closed, lying on the bed, one arm covering his eyes from the dim light.

Meanwhile she was sitting on the edge of the bed, covered by the sheets, brooding about something.

And that something definitely had to do with his lack of commitment.
