Lee Chang Min was sitting in the park across from the Seoul hotel, in the morning. The early morning sun was streaming down on him, making him reminisce some memories that he was sure were his, but from a different time. In that dream, he was someone named Koo Chan Sung and fell in love with a girl named Jang Man Wol, the owner of the hotel where the dead come to rest before going to the afterlife. As he opened his eyes, he saw Ms. Yoon playing with her twin girls with a very cute golden retriever, as he took a deep breath again, he saw Kang Min Young playing football with her most recent boyfriend. After Narae let go of her as the temporary assistant, he took her under him as an intern, and really, he could use one as he was recently appointed as the CEO of the Lee Group of Hotels. He knew all three of them, of course. All three of them worked with him someday long in the past in Hotel Del Luna. Ms. Yoon as the housekeeper, Min Young as his intern and later his successor, and her boyfriend as the receptionist. As he looked around the park, he saw Mr. Jung Hyun Shik, running across the track. He was their neighbor and a very well renowned author. He just had a very intense conversation with him about half an hour ago regarding the current book in his hands called 'The Existence of Time' when he stopped by the bench and had continued his jog. He knew Mr. Jung too, as Bartender Kim, the one who made the cocktail 'Tears' for the many residents of the hotel.
Honestly, he didn't know whether any of them remembered their past life, neither he was going to poke around because all of them had suffered some or the other kind of pain in their life, and he didn't want to remind them that. but the most important thing is that she returned back. Back to him. Now, this time, both of them have the time to grow old together, just like he had dreamed about in their previous life. He closed his eyes again, taking in the sun. He felt like he was breathing again after a long time like a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders. Then he busied himself in the book again. This time, when he looked up, he felt the shadow of Narae upon him. She was dressed in a white suit and skirt ensemble. He smiled at her. She sat beside him and leaned her head on his shoulder. He moved to kiss her hair and intertwined their hands together. Looking straight ahead, he saw all of their friends in front of them. His Narae, his Man Wol, in his arms. Seeing both of them, Min Young stepped forward with her boyfriend. "You are early!" Min Young's boyfriend Lee Ha Joon said. "Of course, she is early. She loves to come back as soon as her shoot is all wrapped up. Both of them are so cute together!" Min Young exclaimed at both of them. Both of them smiled at the new couple. Then Chang Min then shooed them away, as they both looked at each other with secretive smiles. Yes, indeed Narae was early to meet him. But not in the sense that most of the people imagined. They had reincarnated again early and met each other early, and he was very lucky and happy about that. Now, only both of them knew that what had happened before and now, all of them were a big happy and alive family. As he reveled in the presence of his soulmate, Chang Min thanked all the Magos for bringing them to meet each other earlier.
From afar, the eldest Mago looked at them with the basket of white flowers. She smiled at the two lovers, letting go across the time and meeting again together throughout the fabric of existence. She commended the couple for trusting each other of meeting each other in the next life so that they could meet each other and grow old together, like the dreams they dreamed of when they let go of each other. With a smile on her face, she left the couple alone and went across her work.
The Mago was trying to be very conspicuous but had failed miserably. Both Chang Min and Narae had viewed her from afar. Smiling at each other they looked at their intertwined fingers with a plain platinum band across Narae's left ring finger and a matching one around his left ring finger too. Chang Min pressed a soft kiss against Narae's mouth, he thanked the Gods for bringing her back to him.
