The day had turned into night. Yuri and Minho were hand in hand walking around the neighborhood. He was on the way to send her home to Soshi Girls’ villa though his villa where he lived with Taecyeon and Nickhun had passed.

“It’s okay, I can go home by myself. Besides, it’s not too far.” Yuri asked him to go home first instead of accompanying her.

“Sshhh~” He hissed. “You don’t have to be worried about me. I want to be with you longer. Why? You don’t like it?” He pouted his lips cutely.

She chuckled. “No, of course I like it. Alright, accompany me, satisfied?”

He nodded while smiling widely. He couldn’t hide his happiness as he had been grinning like an idiot since before. He still couldn’t believe that right now he was walking side by side by holding hand with Yuri and he wished the time would stop so that he would stay deeply in this happiness.

Yuri had been staring at him quietly since before. She was happy and pleased seeing him like that. She shook her hand which was held by Minho to attract his attention.

“Yes?” He turned around, looking at her with a wide smile still stuck on his face.

“Are you that happy?”

“Of course, I have been waiting for this moment for long. From now on, I won’t let go this hand again.” He lifted up his hand which was holding onto her hand before his other hand patted gently her hand.

Yuri smiled and then, as she looked at his hand, she spotted the couple ring of them which Minho bought. “You’re still wearing that ring…” She mentioned hesitantly since she didn’t have that ring with her right now.

As she mentioned, he looked at the ring. “Ah, yes. I never once take off this ring even during I lost my memory. I just thought that it must be important so I just keep it and later, I found out who is the one that I shared this ring and its importance too.”

She looked quite guilty. “Well, I…”

“You have thrown away that ring? It’s okay. I understand your situation, your pain. If I was at your place, I would do the same thing. Don’t worry, I’ll buy new couple rings.”

“But, it won’t be the same…”

“Yes, it’s indeed different but… it’s fine, we just think of our new rings as a sign for a new start in our relationship, to do better so that there won’t be nothing again to interrupt us, alright?” He gave an assuring smile to her which she replied with a nod.

They finally arrived in front of Soshi Girls’ villa. They stopped walking as Minho turned around, this time facing Yuri. “We are already here.” He held both of her hands and sighed as he said, “The time flied so fast when I was with you. I still miss you so much.”

“We will meet again tomorrow at school, right?”

He took a look at his watch. “But, it’s in 12 hours… how can I bear for that long?” He pouted his lips cutely.

She approached him. She cupped his face and tiptoed before giving a peck on his lips. “Is this enough for your energy to wait until tomorrow?”

He looked quite shocked when she initiated their first kiss after reconciliation but soon grinned widely as he was glad that she did it. “It’s too short.”

“Huh?”

Nevertheless, he initiated this time and leaned in for a longer kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he gently pulled her closer into his embrace. Yuri slowly closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she replied his kiss sweetly.

He broke the kiss and leaned his forehead on Yuri’s. Their faces remained close to each other as they could feel the breath. “I love you…” He said sweetly as he looked into her eyes.

She smiled before giving a reply, “Me too… I love you…”

He gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead. He slowly drew away. “Then, see you tomorrow.”

She nodded. “Bye.” She waved her hand in the air.

“Bye…” He replied her wave as he took a few steps backward but still keeping on facing her. “Thanks for everything!” He shouted happily.

“Sshhh!” She hissed, putting her index finger on her lips. “You might wake up people!” She added as she looked so embarrassed and worried that he might disturb the neighbors.

Nevertheless, he just ignored her as he couldn’t hide his happiness. He just let it exploded. “Woohoo!!! I’m so happy today!!” He cheered happily by his own as he jumped around. “Yuri-ah, I promise I will always make you happy! I love you!!”

“Minho!” She slightly raised her voice, asking him to shut his mouth. However, she couldn’t deny that she was very happy seeing his action.

Just then, an old lady from the next door came out from her villa. “Hey, young guy! What are you doing?! You’re so noisy!!”

Yuri’s eyes went bigger. However, Minho was just relaxed and he didn’t care to hide his happiness right now as he approached that young lady. “Hello, ahjumma!” He greeted her brightly as he bowed his body politely. “Today is just such a happy day, I can’t stop myself from being so excited!” Out of the blue, he gave her a light hug. “We should always be happy, isn’t it? Life is just once!”

That old lady looked at Minho like he had lost his minds while Yuri looked so embarrassed for him.

“Yuri-ah, bye! See you tomorrow! I love you!” He shouted happily once again before slowly running to his villa and soon disappeared from the sight.

That old lady turned to Yuri. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry on his behalf.” Yuri kept apologizing while smiling bashfully as she bowed her body.

“Tsk, tsk… young people…” That old lady got back into her villa.

“Aigoo~” Yuri chuckled as she still felt so embarrassed because of him. She got into Soshi Girls’ villa with a wide smile still stuck on her face.

She closed the door behind her. When she just turned around, suddenly her eyes got bigger as she could see the girls ran to her and gave her a very tight hug. “Kyaahh~!! Yuri-ah!!!”

“Oh, what’s wrong with you guys?!”

They let her go. “Congratulations! You and Minho have gotten together back, right?!” Sunny asked excitedly.

“Ah, yes…” Yuri nodded while smiling bashfully. “But, how did you guys know?”

“Come on Yuri-ah!” Jessica exclaimed. “We can hear clearly his voice, he sounded so happy!”

“Well…” She rubbed her neck while grinning awkwardly. Truthfully, she felt so embarrassed thinking that all the people in the neighborhood might have heard Minho’s voice.

“We’re so happy for you, Yuri-ah!!” The girls continued giving her a tight hug.

“Yah~!! I can’t breathe!”

Hyunjoong sent Tiffany home by his car. After 30 minutes, they reached at her family’s house as the day already turned into night.

“We’re here.” He unfastened his seatbelt quickly before getting off from his car. Tiffany looked astonished, wondering what he was going to do. He went to her side and opened the door for her. “Please come out, Princess~” He said with a gesture.

She looked at him while chuckling happily before unfastening the seatbelt. She took his hand and got off from the car. “Then, see you tomorrow at my company for our meeting.”

“I’m looking forward for tomorrow. You should do well. Otherwise, I may reject your project proposal.”

“What?!” She widened her eyes as she looked quite angry. “I thought you…”

“What is this?!” This time, Hyunjoong also burst into anger after seeing her reaction. “Don’t tell me… you decided to accept me back just for the sake of your company?! Are you using me right now?! Well, it’s good idea, isn’t it?! You don’t have to work hard since you absolutely will get the project since the CEO is your boyfriend.”

“Aigoo!” She hit his chest. “How can you think of that?! I’m sincere, okay?! If I really intend to do that, I would have accepted you at the first time I found out you are the CEO! How can you don’t trust me?! If you are going to be like this, then it’s better…”

“Alright, I’m sorry.” He surrendered first. “You are the one who makes me to misunderstand.”

“I get it. I’ll do the best for tomorrow but… please go easy on me…” She pleaded him cutely with her puppy eyes.

“Ah, seriously…” He sighed in frustration. He really couldn’t resist her cuteness especially when she rarely showed. “Alright, alright! Then, you must do well too so that there won’t be a question why I should accept and it won’t show that I was being biased.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll do well! Thanks!” She gave him a kiss on the lips.

“Oh, ho! Is this bribery?!” He asked while smiling happily as he was so pleased that she initiated the kiss.

Tiffany looked at him with her widened eyes. “Yah! You are… seriously!”

“Eh~ I’m just kidding!” He exclaimed before pulling her into his embrace. “I’m just so thankful…. Just so happy right now…”

“Aish, you bad guy!” She hit his back gently before wrapping her arms around his back tightly with a bright smile on her face.

During the recess, Yoona and Yuri went to the cafeteria together as it seemed there were only two of them, of course it was different like usual where they always went in a big group with Soshi Girls and Super Boys.

After they got their food, they went to the nearby empty table. They opened the wrapper and started eating deliciously especially Yoona who seemed like she hadn’t eaten for a few days.

“You haven’t changed at all, you shikshin!” Yuri added jokingly after seeing the way Yoona ate.

“I just feel a bit sad right now…” She looked at Yuri while making her sad expression which looked quite funny since was filled with food. “So… to relieve my tension, I have to eat a lot.”

Yuri laughed. “Is that the truth? Though you have always eaten this much every day!” Yoona just laughed happily since she couldn’t deny Yuri’s words. “Why are you so sad? Missing Donghae that much?”

“Woah!!” Out of nowhere, Minho appeared and startled Yuri from behind by giving her a back hug. “How about you then? Don’t you miss me too?”

She placed her hand on his arm wrapping around her. “Ah~ you shocked me!” Yuri unconsciously raised her voice in shock. She unwrapped his arms around her and lifted her head up. She looked at him while smiling widely, showing how happy she was to see him. “When did you come?”

“A while ago.” He replied as he took an empty seat beside her.

“Minho, hi!” Yoona greeted him happily.

“Oh, Yoona. Hi!” He was quite taken aback seeing the quantities of foods that Yoona ate. “Woah, you look so hungry!” He showed a thumb-up in amazement at how Yoona’s body didn’t fit at all with the quantities that she ate.

“Oh, well…” Yoona just grinned awkwardly in embarrassment while Yuri just laughed along.

“Where are the others? There are you two only?” Minho looked around.

“Yes, only us. Super Boys and Soshi Girls are very busy with their schedule that they have to skip school.” Yuri replied.

“Oh, I see…” Minho nodded.

Yuri with a smile on her face, took a glance at Minho who wasn’t aware of it. “Tadaa!!” She showed him something.

“What?” He looked confused what was being surprised by her since he couldn’t find anything. She pointed to her hand by pouting her lips towards the direction of her hand, asking him to take a look. “What it is… Ring?!” The sparkle could be seen in his eyes as he saw she still put on the couple ring that he gave before. “W… wha… what? I thought you have thrown it away…”

Even Yoona looked shocked and of course happy too seeing Yuri still kept it. “That’s right. All of us also thought you didn’t have it…”

“Well… I also thought the same… I wanted to throw it too but…” Yuri changed her stare to Minho as she continued, “…I know deep in my heart, I can’t deny that I did carry hope that one day, maybe one day, Minho would change, treat me better and fix our relationship… that’s why, eventually I decided to keep it.”

Minho looked so touched and at the same time, he still felt guilty especially the worst mistake that he did which was hurting her hand. Until now, she wasn’t able to play piano yet. He held her hands as he said sincerely. “Thanks, really thank you so much… for still believing in me until the end… after what I have done…” He placed his hand on her cheek and rubbed it gently.

Yuri smiled warmly. “I thank you too… because you eventually didn’t disappoint me.” He approached her and pulled her in for a hug. She wrapped her arms around his back.

Yoona who was sitting opposite to them felt so awkward as she was stuck in this situation. She cleaned awkwardly. “Hey, you guys… for your information, I am here too.”

Minho immediately let go of Yuri. “Ah, yes! I’m sorry…” He grinned stiffly as he rubbed his neck. Yuri just laughed shyly.

“But… suddenly I miss Tiffany.” Yuri suddenly mentioned about her. “I wonder how she is being doing right now.”

“That’s right, she haven’t contacted us for long, didn’t she?” Yoona replied before stopping talking as she got a call. She took out her cell phone and looked at the caller’s name. “It’s her!”

“Who?” Yuri frowned.

“Who is the one that we just talked about?” Yoona asked happily before answering the call. “Hello?”

“It’s Fany?!” Yuri asked with a sparkle in her eyes.

“Yoona-yah!” Tiffany’s voice could be heard clearly as she was communicating with Yoona with video’s call. She waved her hand.

“You haven’t contacted for long! I thought you have forgotten us!” Yoona pouted her lips.

“I’m sorry. I’m extremely~ busy lately.” She emphasized ‘extremely’ cutely.

Yoona grinned like a kid. “No worry, I’m just kidding. Just… we all miss you so much. Without you… it just feels kind of… empty I guess…”

“Well, thank you for your compliment.” She replied proudly. “Are you aware how important I am in your life?”

“Yes, it’s indeed empty…” Yoona nodded for a few times before continuing with mischievous smile. “… Because you’re so noisy!”

“What?!” Tiffany raised her voice in anger before they both laughed happily later. “Are you alone right now? Where are others? Yuri?”

Yuri moved and sat beside Yoona so that she would be in the camera too to enable Tiffany to see her. “Fany-ah, I’m here!” She said cheerfully.

“Oh, Yuri-ah! You have gotten so much better now! Are you really okay?” Tiffany looked so pleased and relieved to see Yuri looked so much better than she last saw her when she was having hard time. But this time, even from her facial expression alone, Tiffany knew it was different, she indeed looked okay.

“Yes, Minho and I are back together!”

Yoona turned her cell phone so that it could face Minho. “Hi, Tiffany!” Minho greeted with a wide smile.

“Oh, hi! So good to hear you guys are back! Take care of Yuri well, don’t hurt her again.”

“Yes, don’t worry. I will put her first over everything!” He lifted his hand up, making a swear. Yuri just smiled widely seeing Minho seemed so determined.

Yoona turned the cell phone back. “But, Fany-ah, what are you doing right now? You look some kind of nervous.”

“Oh… actually today I will have my first presentation as the CEO… so, well… it’s kind of worrying me that I won’t be able to do well.”

“You will be just alright, I know you can do it!” Yoona and Yuri gave support to her.

Just then, suddenly Hyunjoong appeared beside Tiffany which could be seen on the screen of the cell phone which quite shocked Yoona and Yuri since they didn’t expect for him to be there. “Hi, guys!” He greeted them happily.

“Hyunjoong, you’re there too!” Yoona exclaimed.

“Yes!” He nodded. “Just a while later, she will present her company’s proposal to me, the CEO of company that we are going to collaboratively doing a project.”

“Ah~ it’s your company…” Yuri and Yoona smiled mischievously just to tease Tiffany.

“What’s up with your smile?” Tiffany looked kind of annoyed.

“You must have a hard time, isn’t it? How was it? To fight against your own feelings?”

“Yah, are you guys my friends? Why did I feel you are on his side?” Tiffany pouted her lips in disappointment.

“Well, we have always been on his side, you know?” Yoona and Yuri just laughed. However, they didn’t lie about what they just claimed, they really meant it. In the first place, they never agreed with Tiffany’s decision to break up.

“What?!” Tiffany asked in disbelief, widening her eyes.

“Thanks for support!” Hyunjoong grinned widely. “Anyways, she finally accepted me yesterday. It was really tiring!”

“Really?!” Yoona and Yuri looked so excited.

“Hm…” Tiffany hesitantly admitted in annoyance as she was the one being left out since three of them had the same minds. The three of them just laughed happily. “Yah!” Tiffany gave a death glare. Then, she realized her father already came into the meeting room which meant the presentation would start anytime soon. “Guys, I have to go now. The meeting will start soon.”

“Alright, good luck, Fany-ah!”

“Thanks, call you later, bye!”

--------

The meeting finally began after they waited for the appearance of Tiffany’s father who decided to join the meeting too to see the ability of his daughter. All of them took their seat as Tiffany was silently standing in front of the white screen at the front. She seemed so nervous seeing quite a lot of people there especially her father. She couldn’t deny that it was quite pressuring.

She took a look at Hyunjoong who had always kept his stare on her. He gave an assuring smile with a nod as his support for her. He knew she could do well.

She finally started her presentation about the proposal of the project after taking a deep breath. Although her introduction sounded quite awkward as she couldn’t help but stuttered a few times, as time went by, she looked more relaxed and confident. The presentation moved smoothly as she became more natural.

She ended her last sentence with a smile. She was relieved everything had ended especially she felt proud at herself for being able to do as best as she could. Her last sentence was followed by applause, showing that her proposal received a good feedback. She took a look at Hyunjoong to see his reaction. He gave her a thumb-up which she replied with her cute eye smile.

“So, what do you think about our company’s proposal, Mr. Daniel Kim?” Tiffany asked happily as she could already expect good news.

“Well, in my opinion… it will be a lost…” Tiffany’s smile suddenly disappeared. He chuckled seeing her cute angry reaction before continuing, “… if I reject your good profitable proposal.”

A relieved smile re her face after he just made suspense. “Really?!” She asked excitedly like she was talking informally with someone close. She cleaned awkwardly before correcting, “I mean, are you sure?”

“Yes… Key!” Hyunjoong asked the document from his secretary. With the document in his hand, he got up and went to the front, where Tiffany was at. He put the document on the table and wrote down his signature. He gave his pen to her before she gladly took it and signed the document beside his signature.

He reached out to her for a handshake. She took his hand. “From now on, we officially will carry out this collaboration project together.”

“Yes, I’m looking forward for it!”

As the meeting officially ended with of course a big success, everyone who was consisted of some of the major shareholders of the company and some of the people holding important position in the company left one by one until the meeting room looked empty than crowded atmosphere before, leaving only Tiffany and Hyunjoong with their own secretary including Tiffany’s father.

Her father approached them and made a handshake with Hyunjoong. “Thank you so much for everything. If you want something and need any help, just tell me. I’ll make sure to do it… of course as long as I can do it!” He ended his sentence with a chuckle.

“Actually…” Hyunjoong continued hesitantly, “I do have something in mind.”

“What it is?”

“Can you hand me your daughter? I mean, I want you to officially approve of our relationship…” Hyunjoong asked which made him also Tiffany blushed.

“What are you talking about? My daughter already accepted you?” Her father looked kind of serious which was unexpected. He took a look at Tiffany.

Hyunjoong replied, still being optimistic. “Yes, after so much difficulty, she finally accepted me.”

Nicole and Key who were in the meeting room too, also heard their conversation. They seemed so happy to know that finally Hyunjoong and Tiffany got together as they won’t be suffered again by being stuck in the middle between Tiffany and Hyunjoong’s problem.

“Then, do you think I’ll let go of my daughter that easy?” Her father asked seriously.

Tiffany looked so shocked of his reaction. “Dad, what’s wrong? You can’t do this, I mean… why suddenly you behave like this? I thought you like him too.”

Her father only replied with a laugh for every question that she asked. This was so confusing for Tiffany and Hyunjoong. He explained later, “Of course I will let her go easily since I already know that you are really the one for her.”

“Wh… what?” Hyunjoong still seemed so confused with this sudden shift of reaction.

“I’m just kidding of course.” Her father chuckled happily. “Don’t worry, you already got my blessing earlier!”

Hyunjoong hove a relieved sigh as the smile finally re his face. “Dad, you’re just scaring us!” Tiffany muttered cutely.

“Well, I see you reacted strongly first than him though you’re stubborn so much before!” Her father teased which she just replied with an awkward grin as she felt quite embarrassed.

--------

After the meeting, Tiffany got the permission from her father to end her work earlier than usual as she had done so well by proving her ability to get the project that made him very proud. Although the partner of the project was actually her boyfriend, he was sure that her daughter got the project by her own effort as he was so satisfied with her proposal.

Hyunjoong and Tiffany were walking outside the company with hand in hand. They didn’t have any destination to go but they were just happy to walk with each other like this.

“Ahhhh~” She said out in satisfaction as she linked her arm with his. She just felt so calm and happy as everything that was worrying her, had gone.

“Are you that happy?” He looked at her while smiling widely.

“Yes!” She exclaimed happily. “I have saved my company and had made my father proud and now… being with you again… everything is perfect now.”

“You know what, you look so scary when you thought I was going to reject your proposal. I wonder what you would do if I did reject.” He purposely .

“What?!” She asked in disbelief. “Are you really curious what I would do? Do you want to see it now?” She asked with threatening voice. He just laughed. “But, no matter what, I know that you won’t be able to reject my proposal.” She added proudly.

“How come you become this confident?”

“Well, who could reject my proposal after I have done a great presentation?” She shrugged.

“Ceh!” He rolled his eyes while chuckling. “Aigoo…” He sighed. “Since when, my girlfriend has become this shameless?”

Tiffany stopped walking as she stared at him from behind angrily. He was aware of it but he just purposely kept walking forward just to more. She did look angrier but soon the anger on her face had gone as it had been replaced with a smirk.

She suddenly ran towards him and jumped on his back, forcing him to give her piggyback. Her action had caused him to jerk forward and stumble a bit but soon managed to balance himself. “Yah, what are you doing?” He asked but he still looked happy.

She laughed happily. “This is your punishment, Daniel Kim!” She wrapped her arms around his neck as he slightly lifted her up and held her legs so that she could stay comfortably and won’t fall. She leaned her head against his back. “Your back is still as warm as before…” She said gently.

Her words made him smiled. Nevertheless, he still couldn’t stop teasing her as that had been a part of their relationship. “But, there is something different…”

“What it is? The fact that we are in US instead of Korea?”

“No, you have become heavier!” He exclaimed.

“Yah!” She shouted at him but both of them laughed in happiness later.

Love and happiness wasn’t about making special extraordinary things together but it was all about making simple things with beloved one but feelings special and wonderful. Having the beloved one by side was enough, it was the most wonderful and happiest thing.
