Chapter 67: Arrived In Dubai

I stroked Snow White, who was rolling around on the bed, and buried my face in her soft belly.

“It’s soft. Snow White smells the same as me.”

“It tickles.”

“Phew.”

I still don’t know what Snow White is, but she was like a gift that suddenly came to me.

A pure white snowflake that makes people happy like the first snow.

“Thank you, Snow White.”

“I’m hungry.”

*- – – -Uh.”

[Tiring!]

Snow White, who was destroying all the emotions that had built up.

If the viewers had seen this, they probably would have called that animal its owner.

While I was feeding Snow White like that.

Knock, knock.

“Yes. Come in.”

I heard a knock and went out to the door where the sofa was, and three men came rushing in.

“Hello. I’m Esteban, the captain of this plane.”

“The first officer, Sulaiman.”

The captain who looked Latino, the first officer who looked Arab.

And a man who had been my assigned duty earlier.

Compared to the captain, the first officer seemed to be a bit awkward in Korean.

“Yes, hello.”

“Nice to meet you, Young-ae.”

—-What on earth did you introduce me as, that you keep saying Young-ae?’

I struggled to straighten my face that was distorting on its own.

While I was trying to control my expression, the person who introduced himself as the captain began to talk nonsense.

“Our flight is scheduled to fly 6,700km and the estimated arrival time is 5pm, about 10 hours away.”

“Wow, that’s far. But 5pm?”

Grandpa Kamar had clearly said it was a 12pm flight.

“Yes, the time difference between Korea and Dubai is 5 hours.”

“Oh, there was a time difference. Yes, thank you.”

The captain continued his explanation.

“Thank you again for using our Black Diamond Class. I hope you have a pleasant trip.”

“Yes, thank you for the explanation.”

After finishing his explanation, the two people left, and a man who I thought would leave with them was still standing.

“It’s lunchtime now. Would you like me to prepare a meal for you?”

“Yes, what would you like?”

In response to my question, the man handed me a fancy menu with a gold frame.

“I can prepare everything on this.”

“Oh…”

I never dreamed that I would sleep in bed while traveling by plane, but now that I was choosing food while looking at the menu, I felt strange.

“Then please give me this.”

I chose rib steak.

There were various dishes including ramen and other fancy-looking dishes, but the name of the meat that I felt like I had seen somewhere before was rib steak.

“Yes, what kind of wine would you like?”

“Wine? Hmm…”

I’ve only had one glass of wine in my life.

And that was the glass of wine that Grandpa Kamar gave me today.

“Uh… do you have Chateau Latour?”

“Yes, we have it.”

I asked the only wine name I knew, and he said he had it.

The wine that Grandpa prepared must have been quite famous.

“Yes, then please give me the 1982 vintage.”

He paused at my words, so I thought I might have laughed at him for saying something wrong, but judging by his pale face, I guess that wasn’t the case.

“I’m sorry, sir. That’s not ready.”

The man apologized excessively.

“No, no. It’s okay. That’s the only wine I know, so I said it. Just give me anything.”

“I’ll prepare it right away.”

As if to prove his point, the man brought a steak and a glass of wine a few minutes later and left the room again.

When I heard the explanation, he said that it was such an old vintage and a rare wine that it was hard to see it even at an auction unless it was a private sale.

“Baekseol, come here and let’s eat together.”

At my words, Baekseol ran towards me with a diamond-shaped bellflower in her mouth, and I carried her up to the table and started eating together.

When I took a bite of the meat, the rich meat juice overflowed in my mouth.

“It’s really delicious. The beef! ate was really bad and tasteless.”

“It’s delicious.”

“Eat a lot.”

Snow White diligently dipped the flower petals in the steak sauce and ate them.

As she was eating the meat, she remembered something strange that had happened earlier.

“Snow White, when I was talking about the name of the wine earlier, a strange building appeared in my head?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm…. I think it’s because of my skills, but I don’t know either.”

After finishing the meal with Snow White, she took a shower.

“Snow White, if you climb on top of my head when I wash my hair, I have to wash it twice?”

“Okay.”

Watching a movie with Snow White.

“The main character’s friend is going to die soon.”

-Kook, kook.

Snow White, who had been watching the movie intently as if telling me not to give away any spoilers, pokes my cheek with her small front paw.

“Phehe.”

Eating a snack with Snow White.

“Snow White, try some dried bananas.”

-Crunch, crunch.

“Is it tasty?”

“It’s tasty.”

Falling asleep with Snow White.

“–White-Snow… Don’t sleep on my face.”

“—I’m- – -hungry”

“Miss.”

“Miss, here we go.”

“Huh?”

“Miss, this is the butler. We’ll be arriving in Dubai soon.”

“Uh, already?”

“Yes, it’s 10pm Korean time.”

“Yes, yes. What should I do?”

“Just wait.”

“Ah—“

I answered Grandpa Kamar, unable to come to my senses, and a laughter-filled reply came back.

I guess I fell into a deep sleep because of the glass of wine I had earlier.

“Snow White. We have to get off soon.”

It must have been tired after playing with her all day.

It didn’t seem like it wanted to get up on its own, showing its pure white belly and only wiggling its front paws.

“What kind of rabbit sleeps like a person?”

After waiting for a while, Grandfather Kamar said that it had to get off first and that we had to leave early.

“Snow White.”

In the end, I picked up Snow White, who seemed unwilling to get up, and followed Grandfather outside the plane.

As I walked along the long boarding bridge, the small sounds I had been hearing gradually grew louder.

“Wow, it’s a foreign country.”

“Heh heh.”

The airport was noisy.

It was much louder than I had expected.

“Oh.”

“There are a lot of people.”

“Are you awake?”

“Yeah.”

Snow White must have woken up because of the noise, and she climbed up on top of my head.

“Grandfather Kamar, can I look around the airport?”

“Of course.”

While walking around the airport with Snow White, I found a place selling fruit juice.

“Oh, what was it?”

I went closer to say hello, and my head felt like it was going to explode.

I couldn’t remember a single word of the greeting the chairman had given me.

“May God’s peace be upon you.”

“Huh? Yes. May God’s peace be upon you.”

“Thank you for responding with a greeting that contained the will of God. Are you a tourist? Your Arabic is really good.”

“Yes, you are a tourist.”

My native language was flowing in my head, but strange words came out of my mouth after passing through an invisible filter.

My head felt like it was spinning.

“I’m dizzy.”

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I muttered to myself without realizing it. Would you like an orange flavor? What would you like, grandpa?”

“I’ll have an apple flavor.”

I thought Grandpa Kamar would say he didn’t want to drink, but he chose a drink without hesitation, perhaps to accommodate me.

“Whew-“

As I took a deep breath, the sense of incongruity between the inside and the outside gradually disappeared.

As always, the skill was a skill, and the effect was outstanding; I felt like I was already getting used to it, even though we hadn’t exchanged many words.

“Grandpa, I’m here.”

“Thank you, Miss. But you speak Arabic very well. I was surprised because it didn’t feel awkward at all, as if it were written by a foreigner.”

“Is that so?”

I had nothing else to say, so I tried to just let it go, but the old man, perhaps because of his age, sensed that I was having a hard time and didn’t ask any more questions.

“I’ll help you pay.”

“Miss, I’ll pay.”

“No. It’s finally time to use it.”

He took out his MasterCard with determination.

It was a card that allowed overseas payments, and he had even paid the annual fee to make overseas purchases cheaply because he was crazy about games.

“With this…!! Please pay.”

The merchant carefully accepted the card, his eyes changing as if he sensed my determination.

“I will definitely make the payment.”

“Please… please.”

“Just trust me.”

I finished paying the bill while exchanging nonsense with the merchant.

“This is really delicious. Do you want some, Snow White?”

After sipping the drink, I poured a little on my palm, and Snow White came down to my wrist and licked her tongue, which was too small to see.

“It’s delicious.”

“Right? I think it tastes better because it’s a warm country.”

As we chatted and bought drinks in a foreign country, I finally felt like I was really in Dubai.

“Grandpa, I’ll look around a little more.”

“Yes, miss. We have plenty of time.”

We looked around the splendidly decorated Dubai airport.

“Miss, if you want to use your cell phone simply in a foreign country, you need to use a time-limited chip.”

“Really?”

There were more interesting things than I thought.

After that, as I walked around here and there, I came across a place where a lot of people were gathered and making a fuss.

“Grandpa, why are there so many people there?”

“I don’t know. Should I find out?”

“No, let’s go take a look.”

As I approached the crowd, I saw a man holding a microphone and talking loudly.

“Just a little longer! We only have 10 seconds left.”

Next to the talking host, a muscular man was seen with his hand somewhere.

As I got closer, I saw that he had put his hand into a round hole in the side of a large acrylic box and was taking out something inside.

“It seems to be the gold bar challenge that has become famous in Dubai these days.”

“What is that?”

“You drill a hole in a transparent acrylic box and put a gold bar inside.

It’s a simple game where you put your hand in and take the gold bar.”

“Oh… Is this Dubai after all? They’re just throwing gold around.”

Thinking this was the moment, I immediately took out the stand and put my phone in.

<Han Ga-eul starts broadcasting>

[787]

[Bang Jang-ryeon!!!!!! Why are you coming now]

[I thought you were searching because you missed me]

“I missed you too. Guys, is this the Dubai airport?”

[Oh¬¬¬ He really went]

[Our host has become successful and has been all over Dubai ¬¬¬]

“Guys, look at that. They put gold bars in a container and if you take them out, they give you something? Dubai is crazy, right?”

I couldn’t hear whether she meant real gold or a gold bar-shaped toy, but she spoke to the viewers with a little seasoning.

[It’s not that Dubai is crazy, it’s that they can’t take it out ¬¬¬]

[How naive is our host? We have to take care of them…]

Grandpa Kamar, who was listening to me, spoke up.

“Miss, that gold bar is super heavy. It’s hard to get it out.”

“Is it that heavy?”

[Right?]

[¬¬¬¬ Look at that muscular guy twitching. Are you going to give it to me for free?]

Now that I hear it, it was true.

I guess I’ve been too caught up in the image of the oil country.

“The person you just mentioned is Grandpa Kamar. He’s the butler I mentioned before.

Everyone, say hello. Is it okay if Grandpa appears on your broadcast?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

I quickly turned my phone around at Grandpa Kamar’s words.

[Wow, look at your cool beard]

[Hello, butler]

[Housekeeper]

“Hehe, hello. My name is Kamar and I’m assisting you right now.”

[Wow, Miss, you’re crazy¬¬¬]

[Manager… How much has he grown without us?]

[His beard is really cool, huh?)

“Miss, would you like to try it for fun?”

“How much will you pay if I succeed?”

At my words, Grandpa Kamar looked at the explanation hanging next to the host and began to speak.

“Miss, if you take out a 20KG gold bar, they’ll give you the gold bar as is.”

“What the heck, why did you leave my gold bar here?”

[You b*tch, lol]

[Mr. Han, try biting into that. Is it real?]
