Hwang Jung Min's Private Jet
Squeals and never-ending giggles could be heard from the airport tarmac as everyone boarded Hwang Jung Min's Dassault Falcon 7x executive jet. The rest were excited for their unplanned and impromptu vacation. Everyone was awed at the jet's extravagant features.
It was a cloudy day. The sun was particularly shy.
Min Jong and Jung Min took the seats near the front cabin. Tiffany dragged Taeyeon and made her sit across her at the front cabin too. The rest of the group sat at the back cabin. The flight would take 35mins. Just a short ride.
"Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking we like to welcome you onboard Hwang's private jet flight to Jeju Island. Our flight duration is estimated to take 35 minutes, 10:00 AM -10:35 AM. We are expecting a fairly smooth flight today with slight turbulence. Once again we hope you enjoy your flight"
Ding.
The seatbelt sign has been turned on as all of them took their seatbelts and fastened it securely.
The small plane began its ascent.
Min Jong eyed Taeyeon cautiously. Sunny held on her tranquilizers readily. Good thing they were flying on a private jet and not on a commercial flight or else half of the items they brought would not be allowed inside.
Taeyeon looked at the oval window and watched as the buildings below them began to look smaller and smaller. The huge clumps of white and grey clouds greeted her as she stared at them.
"Taeyeon?" Tiffany asked the girl in front of her who was concentrating on the clouds outside.
"Mmn?" Taeyeon mumbled, not taking her eyes off the clouds.
Tiffany reached out and took Taeyeon's hand and smiled at her. Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who was smiling at her.
"Your smile... Why do I feel like I want to be able to smile like you do?" Taeyeon asked herself as she could not help but smile back.
Poke. Poke.
"Is...is Boss smiling?" The 3 of them touched their upper lips at the same time. All asked the same question.
Jung Min gently kicked Min Jong's knee as he pointed out their daughters who were smiling at each other.
"It's been long. Thank you Tiffany..." Min Jong was at lost for words at the sight of his daughter smiling. He silently wiped away his tears as he stared at the clouds.
"Honey, you're watching us aren't you? Look at our daughter... Finally someone gave her back her smile. I'm happy now Honey." Min Jong hoped his thoughts could be heard by his late wife. He hoped she could hear it. It's been so long since he saw Taeyeon smile.
Ding.
The seatbelt sign went off.
POP!
Everyone jumped at their seats looking extremely shocked at the loud popping sound.
"Oh my god! We're gonna crash! We're gonna crash!" Secretary Choi panicked.
"I'm sorry. It's just a party popper. I'm sorry." Seohyun bowed at everyone apologetically as confettis flew in the air.
"Yeheyy! Time to party!" Yoona excitedly jumped up and down.
"Hey! Shut up all 3 of you!" Yuri stood up and yelled at them.
"What do you mean the 3 of us? I did not even talk." Jessica snapped.
"Huh. Your face just screams 'annoying'." Yuri taunted as she stuck out her tongue at Jessica.
"I'll bite your tongue if you do that again." Jessica stood up from her seat and took a step closer to Yuri.
"H-hey. Stay back. Stay back." Yuri took a step backwards as Jessica advanced. Jessica grabbed Yuri's arms and pulled her closer to her. "Sunny! Help!" Yuri screamed as she tried to get away from Jessica's strong grip.
Sunny got her tranquilizer gun and aimed at Jessica.
Ding.
The seatbelt sign went on again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you that we are expecting moderate turbulence. Please keep your seatbelts fastened." The pilot abruptly announced.
"Sunny!" Yuri screamed as Jessica inched closer to her face. Jessica thought it would be fun to tease the noisy Yuri.
Sunny aimed the tranq gun.
BRRR.
The plane shook.
POOF!
Sunny pulled the trigger but the sudden shaking of the cabin caused her to miss her shot. The tranq dart ricocheted from the cabin window and hit Hyoyeon instead.
"Oooppss. Sorry." Sunny apologized cutely.
"Saaneeeyy... I feeeel zzzleeeppeeyyy..." Those were Hyoyeon's last words as she dropped dead on her seat with her tongue sticking out.
The turbulence knocked Yuri and Jessica off-balance as they tumbled on the floor with Jessica on top of Yuri. The turbulence left them rolling from left to right, right to left. They had no choice but hug each other.
"Get off me!" Yuri screamed, but still hugging Jessica.
"No! You get off me!" Jessica screamed back, but still hugging Yuri tighter.
Yoona and Seohyun held each other's hands as the cabin shook. They were able to return to their seats when the sign went on.
"Seo... Huhuhu." Yoona cried.
"Yoong... Huhuhu." Seohyun cried too.
"Great Spirit help us!" The two of them cried out while holding each other's hand.
"Oh my god! We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Secretary Choi frantically screamed at everyone.
Min Jong and Jung Min held on their arm rests calmly. They were used to situations like this. Sometimes turbulence could not be avoided.
"Oh my god! We're gonna crash! We're gonna crash!" Secretary Choi went hysterical again as the plane shook roughly.
"Sunny!" Min Jong barked at Sunny and moved his eye pointing at Taeyeon whom he could see was having difficulty breathing.
"Tae... Tae... It's okay, it's just turbulence." Tiffany calmly comforted the hyperventilating Taeyeon who looked pale as a ghost.
POOOF!
Taeyeon's head suddenly dropped down.
"Did she just faint?" Tiffany thought, not noticing the small tranq needle protruding from Taeyeon's neck. Sunny just shot Taeyeon a tranquilizer that immediately knocked her out.
"Oh my god! Ohh my god! Boss Kim! You have to promote me after this! Ohh my god! " Secretary Choi screamed her lungs out again.
"Quack, quack, quack. Arf! Arf! Arf!" Sunny blurted out. She just felt like it would be fun to join the chorus of freaked out and hysterical people around her.
"Oh my god! Ohh my god!" Secretary Choi continuously shouted.
For 15 minutes, the plane flew through the rough clouds before finally landing safely at Jeju.
It was never a peaceful ride. Not because of the turbulence, but because of all the screams. Min Jong, Jung Min and Tiffany felt like they've been trapped in a room full of chickens, baboons and rattlesnakes all vying for the same food.
Everyone got out of the plane as they were greeted by the cool cloudy weather.
Hyoyeon and Taeyeon who were knocked out, were carried towards the car that would take all of them to the Lotte Hotel.
"God, we barely arrived and everything's in chaos." Jung Min shook his head as he looked at the disoriented group whose eyes popped out of their sockets and hairs that looked like ravaged floor mops.
"I know. Let's just pray for the best. And next time let's bring our ear plugs." Min Jong sighed as he rubbed his shattered ear drums.
"Jeju, here we go." Jung Min muttered.
