"Just a real quick question, did you ever love her?" Mina with her stoic face asked a straight question towards Irene.

"I love her Mina and will always be. I never stop loving Lisa even until today." Irene answered promptly.

Mina gave Irene a measuring look then reluctantly nodded. She gestured Sana to bring the boxes that they brought with them from Japan. "Good, because I would need to throw all these boxes and abort my mission here. My objective is to execute Lisa's last wish. The boxes are labeled accordingly. Use the guide and if you need to ask something I left my number too." She said without any emotion. She loved Lisa too and this is the only thing she can do for her.

Sana offered to put those boxes inside Heechul's car and the doctor helped her.

After the graduation rites, Irene went home straight to check the boxes she kept a few days ago. She pulled the black box with labeled

" On your graduation day. "

She opened the cover carefully. There's a frame of them together happily posed on their academic dress. Their chemistry together was oozing that the photographer thought they were a real couple.

There's a black envelope and a letter attached behind the frame that she needed to remove first.

Hi My Love,

Yes, you read it right. I badly wanted to call you mine and I couldn't wait for that day to come. If you are reading this letter therefore you love me too 😻.

When the photographer told us to pose comfortably in this photo, he actually winked at me playfully. He said I got lucky to be your girlfriend. I asked him to keep it low because you might get offended. I don't know yet if you feel the same. I am not even sure if you swing that way. But you know it made me super happy. He said we have great chemistry together. And he could also sense that you like me too. Of course, it made me more wishful but I couldn't bring myself to ask you about your opinion about a same-sex relationship.

I'm sorry if I was a coward and took me after death before being this bold. It is your graduation and you should not be feeling down, my love. We have waited for this day to come so I won't be the reason that you won't go on as planned.

Take the envelope and check it. Yes, that's the ticket we initially plan to book last year. Though we plan to travel together please rest assured that I am with you always. I want you to explore the world, Baechu, and I will make sure you'll do it.

Capture all the moments and cherish them forever. This is my favorite Leica camera from my collection and I am giving this to you as a graduation gift.

You'll have everything that you will need on your tour. Don't bring anything with you. I prepared the clothes that you need.

Don't open the other boxes yet without my go signal. Not even a peek, Baechu.

Just take note of my 40th day. I'll tell you something interesting.
You'll also be informed about your next steps, my love.🐰❤️🐻

Love,
       Lili 🙊🤙🏻

Irene held the letter on her chest. "I missed you. Even you're no longer here you still full of surprises, My Love.

There's a Leica camera, intax, plane ticket to their initial place must visit on their list after their graduation. She did not know Lisa already booked everything even the accommodations. The only missing to complete the wonderful travel spree is her and Irene. To her surprise, there's a black box underneath those itinerary details which seems like a jewelry box. She opened it and see a necklace with Lisa's initials. There's another note too. It must be Lisa's another graduation gift for her she thought.
