AON: All Or Nothing

Epilogue-New Beginnings

I watched as Minzy drifted off to sleep. She had a serene smile on her face.

I couldn't help myself. I caressed her face trailing my fingers lighty over her lips, cheekbones, nose and eyes. She was so incredibly beautiful and I don't even think she realizes it. But I would spend a lifetime showing her that she was.

I slipped out of the bed and quietly pulled my clothes back on. I left her room and went to the front door. My apartment across the hall was still rented to me though I barely stayed there. I slipped inside. It was dark, no lights on. The curtains over the windows drawn.

"Finally. I thought I would be waiting all night." Kris said.

I laughed as I spotted him lying on the couch. He was starting to look better. He was badly injured. Even I had thought he was dead. Until I came into my apartment and found him passed out on the floor. I really don't know how he made it this far without dying. But he had and he was starting to heal. But he couldn't stay in Korea for long. He could be recognized and I didn't think the government would give him a pardon like they had me.

I tossed the painkillers at him. "Here you go."

"Thanks man. I'm thinking about getting a boat to Vietnam tomorrow. From there who knows where i'll end up."

I nodded silently. My closest, hell my only friend was leaving and I would most likely never see him again.

"Don't look at me like that. You know I will be fine. You enjoy your new life, and love that girl. She's a keeper. Now get home to her before she wakes up." He said.

And so I did.

I went home and slid into bed with the love of my life and was grateful that everything had worked out in the end.
