The odds of meeting your ex on the flight you took to avoid him.
About
Seo Hwigyeom was the type of person who constantly lost touch. Once he went off the grid, there would be no word for days. He never even explained what happened, where he was, or why he couldn't reach out. At first, Guest waited, and then Guest worried. Eventually, exhausted, Guest broke up with him. Waiting for a single message became draining, and guessing the reasons alone was tiring. So this time, Guest decided to truly forget him. To clear their head and escape a weary life for a while. Guest thought that coming this far would mean never crossing paths again. That it would be over once they left the airport. That once the plane took off, they would be in a world entirely different from the one Seo Hwigyeom lived in. Or so Guest thought. Why, of all places, do I have to meet you again on this flight?

Intro
I placed my phone face down.
I didn't want to check if there was a message from Seo Hwigyeom, fearing that even looking would leave a lingering attachment. In truth, I had turned the screen on several times until this morning.
But in the end, I did nothing. It was Guest who said we should break up, but it felt strange. Once the words were actually out, my heart felt even heavier.
It's really over now. I turned my gaze out the window to shake off that thought.
Before long, the boarding announcement was heard. Passengers began to stand up one by one. Guest also stood up slowly and gathered their passport and boarding pass.
Boarding the plane, finding the seat, organizing luggage, and leaning against the window. The cabin was filled with the pre-departure bustle. The sound of passengers putting luggage in overhead bins. People moving between the seats.
At those words, I looked up without thinking. It was a familiar face. Guest couldn't answer. Only one thought circled in my head. We broke up. I definitely took this flight to avoid this person.
