(Now, we’re in the double digits…Time is running out!): )

Ji Hyo woke up earlier to prepare for her surprise. It’s no longer their 200th hour, but like what Gary said, every day can be a day for celebration.

She wore a white dress, the very one she wore on their first date.

It had been only slightly more than a week, but it feels like they have been through so much.
