When I woke up this morning, Zhan was in my arms, smiling in his sleep. Somehow I just couldn't stop watching him sleep. I was hypnotized by it and couldn't stop thinking about how incredibly happy this man makes me.

After all that we have experienced so far, we have finally reached a point where we can enjoy our life and our love carefree. And that is just unbelievably beautiful. Gone are the times when he was a ghost and we fell in love but couldn't get closer.

Gone are the times when I sat next to him at his bedside while he struggled to wake up in a coma. Gone are the agonizing hours of physical therapy and occupational therapy for Zhan, where he had to relearn everything all over again. Grasping, walking, even standing upright. Gone is also the time when we had many sleepless nights trying to find out the truth about the death of his parents and this Shuang. We solved the case and Zhan told me he just felt relieved afterwards because he felt all along that something was wrong.

Gone, however, are the days when we wanted to sleep with each other and couldn't. Now we have sex every night and every now and then during the day. We enjoy every free moment together and try to make the best of every situation.

And after we finally moved, after several weeks of preparation and planning, we were also finally able to make love completely freely without fear of being discovered by Youn and Wooseok.

Zhan got a job at the homicide department here after going the official route, since he had initially turned down the offer to get a job there and had to apply like everyone else to get the job. Only two days after he submitted his application, he already got the job confirmation. They would have been stupid not to take him. Because Zhan is incredible in this job!

I started studying again. I almost had to wait a year. Because there were no more free study places. But luckily someone dropped out and I got the place. Only two more years of study and I am ready to work at Zhan's side.

But because we also have to do an internship as part of our studies, I am working as an intern on Zhan's side. He is my mentor and I am super happy about that. Even though he is a strict mentor. Because when it comes to his work, he is a professional through and through and doesn't tolerate half measures. I've learned a lot from him now and recently I was also at my first real fresh crime scene and didn't throw up!

Every now and then I still do research for my old company. I still earn a little money on the side doing that. And as long as it doesn't affect my studies and I still have enough time to study, Zhan doesn't mind and even supports me with my research. We are a great team and do everything together!

Recently, my brother and Cheng moved to Europe. Or rather, they live and work in Berlin now. My brother works there from home and Cheng is doing his training at the Berlin Charité. The two of them really get along super well and even want to get married there soon. Fortunately, this is not a problem for them in Germany.

However, I can't believe that they are going to get married before Zhan and I do and that not even the families will be there. They don't want a big wedding and want to keep it very small. Just them and their groomsmen. My parents think it's very sad, which I can understand. And they also think that the two of them are rushing it a lot with the wedding. I can't say anything about that, though, because they have to know that for themselves.

Zhan and I want to get married when I finish my studies. We have been thinking back and forth for a long time about when we want to get married. And after some thinking, we came to the conclusion that we will get married as soon as I finish my studies. We will then probably also marry in Germany. But, we are making it big. My parents would go crazy if not.

I think my parents have already planned everything perfectly for the wedding of Zhan and me. And they said it's good that we want to wait and take our time. They think it's good that I'm pursuing my goals with my studies and that Zhan supports me so much. They also say that it is nice to see how we support each other and push each other to want to expand our horizons.
