Foreword

It finally March in Australia. Looking out of her office windows, Sarah can clearly sees that the leaves start to turn their colour. The season that she hate the most finally comes for a visit. Autumn. How she wish that she can control the time and just skip to winter. Every year during autumn, she always have this unease feeling in her stomach. Every autumn, without fail something bad bound to happen to her whether it is something small or big. it started when she was 10 years old, when her pricipal told her that she lost her entire family in an accident that cause by a drunk driver. Which resulted her to be place in orphange. She watched kids get adopted while she still at the same place. She has a few fail attempt in getting adopted that resulted her to lost hope in ever getting new family. She stayed in the ophanage until she reach a legal age where she has to take care of herself. That's when she decided to move to Korea and pursuit her study there. With the help of her bestfriend, Natasha that she grew up together in the orphanage. She manage to find part time jobs to help her pay for expenses plus with her inheritage money that she got from her parents help her pay for the tuition fees while in Seoul. Years of study finally paid off, when she manage to graduate with flying colours. Her first job was a bit off with her interior design degree, which is a marketing manager in JYP entertaiment which her task is to create marketing strategies for a soon to debut idol, GOT7. Through this works she was introduce to a lot of kpop artists that was how she manage to meet her ex-husband. She meet Onew during the beginning of autumn of 2012 and they become close friends right away since their personality just click with each other. Just before the autumn ended, Onew asked her to be his girlfriend. Sarah truly believe that the curse of bad Autumn finally ended the following year when they finally tied the knot after a year of dating. She truly believe that her happy autumn finally come. However, it all ended when she received a divorce paper with a post-it attached to it in her office just right before her marriage anniversary. What worse is that the paper was deliver to her by SHINee's manager not by her husband himself as if it is his way to say that his decision is final and there is no further discussion,  

"Let's just end this." that was all that were written on the post-it. Without any further explaination or even a sorry. 

To make matter's worse, Sarah receive the paper when she was getting ready to leaves Seoul to Sydney for a Got7's fanmeet. 

"I have no other choice but to sign this, do I oppa?' said Sarah while keep on staring at the paper in her hands

"I'm sorry Sarah. I tried to talk to him but he won't listen." replied Gyusik

"I have a feeling this might happen but I did not expect it to be this soon, He has been keeping his distance for the past 4 months."

"I'm sorry Sarah. I really didn't know whatelse I should do."

"Don't be. It's not your fault oppa. At least this divorce is only between the two of us. Imagine if there is a child involve in this, it will be way messier." said Sarah as she sign the paper and put it back into the file that it come with plus her little post-it note attach on the paper.

"My last gift for you."

"Can you tell him that won't be able to take my stuff for at least 1 week as I will be out of the country for a week. I will pack up and move out of the house as soon as I come back. I will see him in court then."

"Are you sure about this, Sarah? You can try to talk to him first."

"There is no used oppa. I promise him that I will do my everything to give what he wants in our relationship. If he asks for an ending, I'm giving it to him without question. Don't worry oppa, I will be fine. I need to go now so that I can catch with my flight."

"Alright. Call me if you need anything."

"Thanks oppa."

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

It's been two weeks since Sarah return to Seoul after the fanmeet. She was getting ready for her final meeting with Onew and their lawyers on their divorce before the court hearing. It's been a tiring and emotional two weeks for her. Just when just she was walking thru a park to get to her lawyer's office, her phone rang. 

"Hello." 

"Sa, I got your result." said Sarah's doctor which also happend to be her bestfriend

"Tash! So how was it?" 

"Are you sitting down right now?"

"Hold on let me find a empty bench."

"Where are you?"

"In a park near my lawyer's office. Hurry up and tell me. I already late for the meeting as it is."

"You're 1 month pregnant, Sa"

"What! No it can't be Tash. You can't play with me. Please just tell me you're joking!"

"Sa, you need to calm down."

"How can I calm down? I'm in the middle of getting divorce. This is not the right time to get pregnant Tash. How am I suppose to tell him about this while he is so adamant about not have anything to do with me after the divorce is final?"

"Listen to me. There is something else we found in your blood."

"What is it?"

As Natasha explain on the rest of Sarah's test result, leaves falls right on her lap. As if they are crying for her.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"How about your assets? How are you going to distribute your assests?" said Onew's lawyer

"Let's just divide all the assests equally. It will be fair for both of us." reply Onew

"That seem fair. Any other request Mr. Lee?" said Sarah's lawyer

"I just want both of us to go back into stranger. It will be easy since there is nothing that require us to meet after this. If we happen to meet each other during work just pretend we don't know each other." said Onew

"So Miss Lee what do you think on Mr. Lee's proposal?" asked Sarah's lawyer that seem to wake Sarah up from her chain of thought

"I don't want anything from you Jinki. After all, money wasn't the reason I married you Jinki. It was love. I already lose that when you send Gyusik oppa to give me the divorce paper. There only one thing I need you to do for me. One last request." said Sarah while looking at Onew straight into his eyes

"What is it?"

"I just want a hug from you outside the court house once we offically divorce and we will remain as stranger after that."

"Is that all you want? Are you sure about that?" asked Onew finding it weird about his wife's request

"Yes. You have given me something that no one can. I just need one final hug from you." said Sarah while looking at the park thru the window of her lawyer's office.

One final goodbye hug to give me strength on what I'm going to do.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

A week later, their marriage is offically over. Just as promise, Onew gave a final hug to Sarah.

"Be happy Jinki. Goodbye." said Sarah before letting go of their hug and walk away from her now ex-husband without a single glance back at Onew. 

With that final hug, two people countinue living their separate lives away from each other. As if their marriage never happen.
