Love Covers a Multitude of Sins

Description

Ilana is a woman with a tragic & lonely past.  After learning of a secret hidden from her by her family, she hops on the first available ticket out of town. Bent on living her life alone, Ilana is unprepared for a group of crew members that create a lasting bond of friendship in her heart.  They refuse to let her be sad while they are on duty and create the first step in healing old wounds.

She knows she can't stay on the ship forever and  in a desperate attempt to put the hurt and pain of her past behind her, chooses to settle 2,400 miles from family and home.  Will she get her wish & be left alone to live her life alone, closing her heart to any hope of love?  Yoon Ji Hoo, one of New York Presbeterian Hospitals, youngest and most brillant  doctors sees a little of himself within Ilana.  If it weren't for his group of friends back home, in Korea, he would be just as lost as Ilana.  Can he help her come through her depression without further scars?  Will she let him? 

Join Ilana on her journey and meet those she comes across along the way.

This is my first fanfic.  Please forgive my bridging a gap of a little more than years in order to bring my charecters to life.  I do not own any of the charachters in this story.  Idols make their entrance in chapter 3, thank you.

Foreword

SeamusMommy has given us a playfully romantic story centered around a young woman, Ilana who suffers from an illness that can be serious and potentially fatal. Ilana, yearning  to escape an overbearing cousin embarks on a cruise where she meets new friends and gains new experiences.

 

I like the way the author bridges cultures from different parts of the world, exposing the characters to lesson’s about the different traditions each person is raised from. Seamus Mommy

draws from  her own upbringing and experiences exploring the Korean culture and brings them into this story, in the process enlightening  me, the reader, to a part of our diverse multicultural community that  was previously a mystery to me.  Thanks to this story and in conversations with the author, I have gained a greater appreciation for the local Korean merchants and neighbors in my city whom I have come to see as friends.

 

Enjoy this amazing story, there will be smiles, laughter and sad moments ahead.

Chapter 138: Great ending to the story. It took sometime, but I am now getting back to finishing all stories. I am in my final semester of College, so everything took a back burner for a while. I'm happy you completed this.

Chapter 6: Good chapter, sounds like Ilana needs a kind heart. Kyu sounds like he would make a good friend, and if anyone need a friend right now it's Ilana. Like the cruise ship setting. Nothing better than being on the ocean.

Chapter 138: At last, I finished your story silently. But since this is the last page of your book I can't be silent unnie. Congratulations! You made it!!!! Proud of you clap! clap! clap! This story made us friends till now. This will forever have a special place in my heart even if it doesn't seem like it. But it's true! I've gone through a lot and you know it and you and you're story we're always with me. I may not be always on your comments section now but I never forget to read. I saw how much this story grew. From just being Ilana and the boys, then you threw in F4. Now they all have their own families and lives, being happy with their children and close friends. Or let's call them extended families. I wish I could be like Ilana and break lose to all the heart ache I am going through. I am happy that everything ended well in your story, now their story is going to be continued by their children. Thanks for the gift of this story, I have lovely friends like you. More than anything thank you for still being a friend and my unnie! Komawoyo, saranghamnida unnie!

Chapter 138: Oh man. A great ending (even tho i dont want it to end). I think you closed this very nicely. Our F4 families have grown so much. I can invision the next generation of F4 and their stories that will be told.... I will ask about the 7 yrs. There is something abt their unwavering friendship after all these years... reminds me of how Kyu and Saengie went to ANEMONE to show their support to KHJ. It was great to see them there. Sorry it took me so long to finish reading and responding. Happy mothers day to you, your readers and all of our F4 mommies. Next story please. Heehee.
