2 YEARS LATER

“Can I have a caramel frappuccino please,” the young lady in front of Heung Soo was giving him the seductive look as she was twirling her hair but Heung Soo kept a straight face

“Just a minute ma’am,”

“Do I look that old to be a ma’am? I’ll have you know I’m very young and healthy,” she leaned on the counter

Yi Kyung was in the back making her drink when he turned around and snickered eyeing the very young girl trying to flirt with Heung Soo. He placed the cup in front of him and nudged him.

“Have a nice day,” Heung Soo put on a fake smile as he passed the cup to the girl

“That’s it?”

“Yes,”

“Well have a nice day Oppa,” she slowly turned around and left

Yi Kyung and Ji Hoon laughed hard as the girl left and Heung Soo sighed loudly and ruffled his hair.

“Well you do bring in our young hip customers so you really can’t complain,” said Ji Hoon

“This isn’t even my day to work. Nam Soon is so lazy,”

“Look he had to talk business. We do want to expand our franchise. You do want to be a millionaire so freaking bad,” Yi Kyung started singing the Bruno Mars song which cause Heung Soo to smile

“Of course. Who knew our organic drinks would be such a hit. We built this company from the ground up,” said Ji Hoon

“We sure did. So when do your marketing classes start Ji Hoon?” asked Yi Kyung

“In two days. I can’t believe I got into S University,” he smiled as the boys patted him on the shoulder

“We are very proud of you,”

ELSEWHERE 1 BLOCK AWAY

“You like it?” asked Kang Joo

“Like it? I freaking love it. It’s so cute and homey. Your cousin sure does have taste,”

“Yea when he found it for us, he knew it would be perfect. It’s so close to campus and everything and I saw that new organic show not too far from here. We should go unpack and explore the neighborhood,”

“Let’s unpack later,”

“Huh? Really, what happened to my best friend who likes order so much?” she smiled at Ha Kyung

Ha Kyung had definitely changed. She was so carefree these days and very spontaneous. During their travels Ha Kyung found the love of photography and her photos were incredible. She could have made a great profession in it but her Mom still had little power over her and she threaten to disown her if she strayed from her original plan to become a physical therapist. In that sense Ha Kyung was still chained to her mother. But Kang Joo had a feeling Ha Kyung was going to do what made her happy regardless of what anyone said.

“You ready Kang Joo?” she held out her arm and the girl ventured out to the neighborhood

CORPORATE OFFICE OF BLISS (The company name of the boy’s business)

Nam Soon had just finished the meeting and he now had in his hand ensured documents of their plans to expand. It felt good that “BIG BOYS” trusted Nam Soon to make them money. They had already proved themselves. They had gotten the idea of organic drinks while they were in the army and with Oh Jung Ho not in the army he was able to get much of the outside work done like finding a building and testing the drinks and advertising. On the boys’ very little vacations from the army they always got together to brainstorm ideas and just to hang out. They were like brothers; very much unlike how they were in high school. They wanted to make their teachers who sacrificed so much for them proud and they had.

BACK AT BLISS

Kang Joo and Ha Kyung were laughing hard and loudly when they entered Bliss.

“Wow this is definitely bliss. Look at this place. This is like the perfect little study place we can go to for those late nights and early coffee runs,” said Kang Joo

“Yea the color is so peaceful and serene. I like it a lot. Aren’t you glad to be back home?”

“I could have gone another year in New York. I’m sure you could have gone another year in New York,” she playfully shoved her

“Me and Michael are going to keep in touch,”

“Oh like you and Nam Soon kept in touch,”

“Whoa blast from the past. But I do feel kind of bad about that. But we were both busy and hey I’m Korea now, maybe he’ll forgive me,” she smiled

Kang Joo chuckled as she looked at the menu.

“Wow so many good choices. These guys must be making loads of money,”

“We are,” the two girls turned around to face that familiar voice. Who they saw was someone they did not expect and they both let out a piercing scream.

The boys in the back came rushing out to find Ha Kyung and Kang Joo poking Oh Jung Ho in the face and touching his clothes. They smiled at the two of them.

“Yay hands off,” Jung Ho pushed the girls off

“There’s the Jung Ho we know and love. What happened to you?” asked Kang Joo

“Yeah you just looked like you walked from a photo shoot. You’re like…freaking hot. And it’s scary,” said Ha Kyung

“I mean this is so freaky. You look completely different. I mean what, has it been only been 2 years. What did you do?”

“I worked hard and got a life,” he rolled his eyes

“Amen to that,” said Kang Joo as she clapped her hands

“You don’t understand. I own this place,” he put his hands in his pockets and smirked while the girls gave him a are-you-serious look

“We all own it,” said another voice

The girls were met with the smiling faces of Heung Soo, Yi Kyung and Ji Hoon

“So do I,” said Nam Soon as he took in Ha Kyung’s appearance
