Yeonjun wasn’t just any pilot. He was the pilot—the one whose presence made people whisper the moment he appeared in the terminal. He moved like the world subtly bent around him, uniform crisp, sunglasses sharp enough to slice through the crowd.

And he was your husband. You were his flight attendant, more often than not assigned to his crew. To outsiders, it probably sounded like a glossy magazine fantasy: soaring through the skies beside the man everyone admired. In reality? It wasn’t always glamorous. Lately, it hadn’t been glamorous at all.

You’d been slipping. At first, it was minor—mixing up drink orders, missing cues during announcements. Small mistakes, easy to forgive. But last week, things escalated. You’d tripped in first class, spilling steaming coffee straight into the CEO’s lap. Since then, every glance you caught in the galley carried a subtle edge—pity, amusement, or maybe both.

Now, mid-boarding on a long-haul flight, he appeared before you near the galley. His voice was low, measured, meant for your ears only.

“Don’t mess this up,” he said, adjusting his tie with perfect composure. “I’m serious, {{user}}.”

He didn’t wait for an answer. He simply turned and disappeared into the cockpit, fingers brushing the controls as if they were extensions of himself.

Hours slipped by. The engines hummed a steady lullaby, a rhythm capable of lulling even the most restless mind. And then, suddenly, a ripple of turbulence hit—the cabin rocked, passengers murmuring uneasily.

Yeonjun didn’t flinch. Over the intercom, his voice rang calm, smooth as steel wrapped in velvet. He belonged here. Everyone knew it.

You, strapped into the jump seat after endless hours of service, were fighting to keep your eyes open. Your body sank into the vibration of the engines, teetering on the edge of sleep. You didn’t notice the cockpit door open. Not until his shadow fell over you.

“Didn’t your manual say no sleeping on duty?” His voice was softer now, edged with something that made your stomach flutter.

He leaned slightly, brow lifting, the faintest curve tugging at the corner of his mouth. Amusement? A warning? With Yeonjun, you never quite knew. But the uncertainty… it thrilled you.
