Episode 115: The 3 Million Dollar Man (3)

The white clouds beneath your feet.

Along the green islands dotted like the paint dropped by a giant.

It was passing over the North Pacific Ocean.

"···will you do it?"

Suddenly someone spoke to me.

I glanced back.

A graceful woman wearing a silver scarf was looking at me with her eyes on me.

Looking at her modest attitude, it seemed that she was probably waiting for my answer.

But he was in the middle of looking out the window and thinking about something else. She didn't hear what she said.

‘You mean what you were going to do?’

I asked her with a slightly shy expression on her face.

“Could you say it again?”

Then she made an 'ah' expression and she opened her mouth with a bright smile.

“Yes, customer. I asked what you would like for dinner.”

Oh, I did something.

Only then did I understand why she came to me.

She picked up her phone and checked the time.

[May 18, 2019. 17:00]

Now it was time for dinner.

Then I started to get a little excited.

It was because I had never been to Jeju Island, let alone overseas travel, so I was curious about how the first class meal would be served, not economy or business.

‘Well, then, what should I order?’

Actually, I had been given a menu board when I left the plane.

But I just skimmed through it, so I couldn't remember it very well.

Apparently, Western food was a course meal with steak as the main dish, and Japanese food was similar to kaiseki...

I just remembered that it wasn't the kind of food I really liked.

But then.

There was a memory flashing through my mind.

Before departure from Incheon Airport today.

‘Sam! Of course, bossam is an in-flight meal! Isn’t it, Eunsol-sensei?’

‘Ah, um, Eurasia Airlines first class noodles… I think Korean food is the most delicious among them. The makgeolli that comes out there is fine.’

'also! Because I thought Eunsol would know! So, sir. Be sure to eat bossam and makgeolli.’

I remembered the conversation with Yuna and Eunsol, who came to the airport to see me off.

‘I’ll eat bossam and makgeolli on the plane…’

Thinking about it, it wouldn't be that bad.

There is nothing more memorable than bossam and makgeolli eaten 10,000 meters above liberation.

of course.

'please! Must order! Sure! If you don't, it's a betrayal!'

When I think of Yuna Kim's face, who smiled as she looked at me, I was deeply suspicious of the existence of her menu.

‘It’s really delicious, so give it a try.’

But I don't know if it was only Yuna Kim. I never thought that a serious person like Eunsol would lie to me.

‘After all, it’s Western food or Japanese food, so you can eat it when you go home.’

After a brief deliberation, I made up my mind and looked at the stewardess waiting for my answer.

Then she smiled as if she had made up her mind.

I looked at her smile and slowly opened her mouth.

“Um, then maybe…”

“Yes, customer. Tell me please."

“Can I have makgeolli with bossam?”

OK.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at me.

The moment I looked into her eyes with a bit of doubt.

‘Heh heh. Did you promise?'

Yuna Kim's cruel smile passed her eyes.

no wonder···

Does it make sense to have makgeolli with bossam on a plane?

‘Hey, it’s my fault that I did it.’

But it was a bit of a shock.

Yuna Kim, there are so many jokes, even if that’s the case, she didn’t know that even Eunsol would join in the prank.

“Oh, it’s okay if you don’t…”Just when I opened my mouth to fix my words.

The stewardess' eyes were curved in a flowing line.

And soon from her mouth.

“Of course I am ready. Please wait."

Unexpected words came out.

huh, was it real?

after a while.

“Did you enjoy it?”

While I was drinking green tea for dessert, the stewardess spoke to me. I nodded.

Because it was a better meal than I expected.

‘Well, should I thank Yuna later?’

Of course, the Western and Japanese dishes ordered by other first-class passengers also looked pretty good. However, for my taste, makgeolli with bossam was the best.

"Yes. It was very satisfying. Dessert is also good.”

Then the stewardess smiles brightly and begins to organize the dishes on the table.

even.

“If you need anything, please let me know.”

After saying goodbye gracefully, he disappeared to another place.

“·················ogue.”

As I told the stewardess earlier, it was a fairly satisfying meal.

Should I call it first class?

From tablecloths spread out on the simple table to neat food and tableware, nothing fell.

In addition to that, it was confusing whether this was an airplane or a small Korean restaurant, whether it was an independent space where individual privacy was protected, or the scenery outside the window or the occasional shaking of the aircraft.

[...5 hearts are economy, 6 hearts are business, and 7 hearts are first class tickets. Competitor Kim Jun-young, who won 7 hearts, was given a first-class ticket between Incheon and San Francisco as a privilege...]

If I didn't get 7 hearts, I wouldn't be able to enjoy this luxury.

It was an experience I couldn't even dream of without USB.

‘If it was economy, there would be no waist left.’

I looked around.

Then I saw people watching movies on individual monitors with bored faces or trying to sleep with an eye patch on their faces.

The total flight time between Incheon and San Francisco is about 10 hours.

There were still more than 5 hours of flight time left, so I had no choice but to pass the time like that unless I opened the emergency exit and left the plane.

Probably because 5 hours on an airplane is longer than I thought.

But.

‘It’s not that long for me.’

I couldn't afford to watch a movie or sleep like them.

because for me yet.

‘Because the finals remain.’

No matter how high I pass the preliminary round, the people I will soon meet are from all over the world.

They were the ones who survived the difficult quizzes with their own strength.

So, unless you're going to San Francisco, California and you're going to fall, you shouldn't be vigilant.

After taking a half-lying position with my legs spread out, I took out my laptop and connected the USB.

Then in front of me.

[The 1st Yotube Worldwide Quiz Contest: Finals]

A folder containing the final questions of this competition caught my eye.

I checked the contents of the folder with a relaxed expression.

and after some time.

I heard that the Eurasia flight OZ202 from Incheon to San Francisco has crossed the date line.

* * *

5 hours later.

Arriving at San Francisco Airport, I picked up my phone and checked the time.

OK.

[May 18, 2019. 10:40 min]

It caught my eye that the second hand of the cell phone clock was pointing 5 hours and 20 minutes earlier than when I left Korea.

‘It must have been 4 PM on the 18th when we left.’

I knew I had crossed the date line on a plane, but it was amazing to see it in person.

If I just look at the time, it's like I'm living 1.5 times the day now.

Shortly after that, after completing immigration procedures, as soon as I came out of San Francisco Airport.

California dreaming- On such a winter`s day-

A loud bell started ringing.

Then I could feel the people around me laughing.

My God, when ever it's a California dream.

Hurry up and check your phone.

[Yuna♥]

It was seen that the criminal made a video call without fear.

No, but how can I just call as soon as I arrive at the airport...

Come to think of it, before going through immigration in Incheon.

‘Call me when you arrive! Because America is dangerous! Is that right, Eunsol-sensei?’

‘Not all of them are like that, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful.’

‘Did you hear that? Be sure to call me!’

I remembered what Eunsol and Yuna had said.

Apparently I was busy with immigration procedures and everything, so I couldn't stand it and made the call.

But at that moment, a question ran through my mind.

‘No, it must be early in the morning in Korea?’

To be precise, it is 2:40 am on May 19th.

There was no time for students to stay awake.

I clicked the call button with a bit of trembling feeling.

OK.

[Oh! got it got it! Eunsol sir! I got a call from Junyoung!]

Yuna Kim's face, wearing her pajamas, appeared on the screen.

Yes? But what about Eunsol?

But the question was quickly resolved.

because.

[Ah... did you arrive well...?]

It was because the figure of Eunsol wearing a purple nudity she had seen before with her face dyed red appeared on the screen.

[Huh? Why is her face so red, sir?]

[Ah, the house is so hot...]

[Eh? Did you turn on the air conditioner? Should the temperature be lowered further?]

[No, it's okay Yuna!]

I looked at it for a while.

"where are you?"

When asked with a look of disbelief.

[Oh here? Hehe, it's Eunsol's house! I came to play.]

Yuna Kim answered with a natural expression.

"You're embarrassing Eunsol-sama..."

[Isn't it? Eunsol said it was okay too! Right, sir?]

Through the screen, Eunsol nodded her head.

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“Anyway, then, listen carefully to Eunsol’s words and don’t cause trouble.”

Then, Yuna Kim makes a sullen expression.

[Ah, what am I, little Anne! I know all about that! Sheesh, I was worried for nothing!]

Then she folded her arms and began to murmur as if to listen.

I laughed softly as I listened to Yuna Kim's grumbling.

Still, it was strange that he waited until my arrival time and then called.

"okay okay. If Eunsol is okay with it, that's fine. By the way, I tried bossam as you said, and it was surprisingly good.”

However?

The moment Yuna Kim, who had just been making a grumpy expression before, listened to me.

[Huh? Yes? Is it bossam? What bossam?]

She had a look that seemed to make a fuss.

“You say bossam is delicious?”

Let me say it with a puzzled expression.

[Oh my God, was that real? Hey, is it real Eunsol-sensei?]

I could see him asking Eunsol with a surprised expression.

'After all...'

Looking at it, it seemed like he almost got caught in his prank again.

"you···."

But the moment I was about to say something to him.

[By the way, Sam! Who's the scary-looking guy in the back? Sam's friend?]

Yes?

Suddenly, unexpected words came out of Yuna Kim's mouth.

Let's tilt her head as if what I'm talking about.

[No, the big bear-like uncle right behind you! Are you smiling while looking at me?]

Yuna Kim pointed her finger at my back and behind her.

But for what the hell, let's look back and there.A large Polynesian man was looking at me.

“·················ogue.”

He made eye contact with me and approached me, revealing his pure white teeth.

He then reached out his hand and said to me.

"Oh! It's nice. My name is Chun-Young Kim, my teacher, Jeff Johnson.”

“·················ogue.”

Korean came out of the swing's mouth.

* * *

“The bridge you see over there is the Bay Bridge, and the blurry thing over there is the Golden Gate Bridge, so it’s OK! It’s a big deal.”

Johnson, who was driving a 2018 Ford Explorer, suddenly pointed out the window.

Let him follow his hand and look out the window.

The night view of San Francisco appeared in front of my eyes.

A city filled with countless grids of lights.

With a gorgeous girlish image of the Bay Bridge wearing a silver veil.

Having the Golden Bridge like a proud lady.

California flowers.

When I saw the city I had always seen on TV in front of my eyes, somehow my heart was moved.

So let's just stare at the night view outside the window without saying a word for a while.

Johnson misunderstood my silence and spoke to me.

“Are you tired, Mani? Please wait for a second as Iltan is a prelude to downtown San Francisco. I also had a lot of pikon when I got home after studying in Hancook, so I know how much pekon you will be doing now.”

The more I listened, the more interesting it became.

Except for a slight difference in pronunciation, I was very fluent in Korean.

“By the way, when did you learn Korean, Mr. Johnson? Are you very good at it?”

when i ask

“Ah, when I was twenty-two, I attended Seoyul University as a Kyo-Hwan student for a year.”

Johnson replied with a smirk.

Somehow, he was very proficient, so he seemed to have had the experience of living in Korea.

But it's Seoyul University.

The world seemed smaller than I thought.

“Yes, this is nice. Am I also a student at Seoyul University?”

Let me smile calmly and say

“Oh- I wrote that I had a good feeling from Seonsaeng-nim. Haha, is the Pajeon truck in front of Seoyul University still okay?”

Johnson looked at me with a surprised expression.

Then he asked me with a sad expression on his face.

“Okay, business seems to be going well these days.”

Let me answer with a smile.

“Kia- It was really good to have a bowl of macauli in Pacheon. I want to go back to that time.”

He nodded his head with a big gesture.

Then, slowly, he began to hum the Seoyul University school song.

No, how does this person know about Seoyul University's songs that I don't even know about?

after a while.

“By the way, have all the others arrived?”

When I asked when I confirmed that his Seoyul University song was over, he looked at me and opened his mouth with a trembling expression.

"Hmm, actually, I'm not going to quit talking about this... Instead, I wouldn't mind telling it to other people."

And then speak slowly.

“Probably Seonsaeng-nim is almost the last day. Maybe the main bean comes out last, isn't it?"

Then he looks at me and smiles.

“Are you a kinjang by any chance?”

“No, is there anything different about being nervous?”

When I answered, he shook his head and opened his mouth.

“Anyway, Sun. Seonsaengnim made the world's only exemplar of the world, but Bonsun should be a little nervous. I can't speak because I have a secret pledge, so I can't speak, but probably because Bonsun will be in a tough state that can't even compare to Yesun.

Then he looked at me with a hard expression.

A face that looks like he's nervous.

It was a face that worried me that I would fall while I was careless.

I looked at him and nodded his head.

For whatever reason, I am worried about people who have a favor with me.

However.

"thank you. But you don't have to worry.”

It seemed that what he was worried about would never actually happen.

because i already

Because I knew how the finals were going to be played.
