Prospect (n.)

-   Make things happen.

I was sitting in my laboratory, reading my old diary I had written for the purpose of documenting Kai in my life. I was so engrossed reading it and I couldn’t help but smile with it, laugh with it, and get tingly with it.

It’s been 20 years since that day. Jinki and Luna are happily married now. Jinki is now a world-renown surgeon specializing in neurosurgery. Luna is a dedicated housewife taking care of their children, Amber and Donghae. I am proud of Jinki for his feats and innovations in the medical world.

Victoria is married too, but her family still lives with us. She just couldn’t let me go, she told me. Although she had children of her own, she still finds time to treat me like a child, which I am grateful for.

My parents are still living with me. They are now older, but nothing less than sharper. Although they’ve both retired in their respective fields, their counsel and input are still sought after. They are enjoying each other, which is a good thing.

As for me, I’m still me. I’ve married Krystal three years after uncle Taesun died. in turn, I inherited both my father’s and mother’s companies which I successfully merged. Although I was CEO by name, I still devoted my time with science and let my trusted and capable staff run the company for me. 15 years after I graduated college, I was finally able to find the formula for my time travel machine. I was awarded a Nobel Prize the year after that.

I haven’t spoken to Minho since we’ve broken up but I still hear news of him. He’s an award-winning literary author. I’ve brought and read all his books, hoping that someday I will hear those words in his stories told to me. I miss him terribly and consistently. Not a day goes by without me wanting to call him or see him. But I held on to my promise.

I promised that I won't change things anymore, that I'll let things be. I promised myself that no matter what, Kai must be born the way he was intended to be.
