My Secret Lover

Epilog

About three and a half years later in the summer

"Hoon? Hee? Are you coming now? Dinner's ready!", I heard someone call from a distance.

I identified the voice as Jake's.

Sleepily, I took my bath towel off my face and looked sideways at Heeseung, who was lying next to me on another sun lounger.

My head was still a bit spongy from the heat, I really needed to drink some more water.

He slowly rose and stood in front of my sun lounger so that he blocked the sun with his body. "Come on, get up, Hoonie~" He held out his hand to me, which I gratefully accepted.

A few months after the figure skating on New Year's Eve, Heeseung and I became friends. In the beginning it was very strange and somehow also foreign to talk to him. We also had some very insightful conversations, so now I knew why he didn't like me. Our fight, where I hit my head, was also a big issue for a long time. But we learned to understand each other and tried to comprehend each other's actions. Amazingly, we quickly got used to each other and are now very good friends. It was really one of those events that I didn't think would ever happen. That Heeseung and I would become friends? My former self would call me crazy today.

"I'm so hungry," Heeseung said as he pulled me up and we walked into the cottage together.
This summer, all of us together, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunoo, Jungwon, Riki, and I, decided to take a vacation in a rented house in Jeju.
Once inside, I already smelled the delicious galchi that you just have to eat here in Jeju.
In the dining room, we sat down and looked at the delicious side dishes and good-smelling rice that Jay had prepared alongside the traditional galchi.
Suddenly, Heeseung's cell phone rang, and when he looked annoyed at the display to see who was calling him, it turned out to be Namra. "What does she want now?" he sighed and decided to leave a message for his older sister instead of taking the call.

I was also reunited with Namra as friends, and it was always fun to compete with her in a couple of dance competitions. She had even made friends with Wonyoung and I had also kind of made friends with Seon, who was now back with Namra.

"Hyung, you just have to be hired as a chef," Sunoo gushed as Riki stood next to him. Both of them had soaked hair, obviously, they had been swimming in the ocean at the beach earlier. "Where's my praise? I was the sous chef and I helped out diligently too," Jungwon complained, setting a glass down for each of us. "Thank you very much, sous chef Won!" replied Sunoo.
Jake came to the table, planted a kiss on my cheek, and sat down next to me. "YA! Didn't we make a rule that you guys don't kiss in front of us? Get a room for this," the youngest complained.

A lot of time has passed since Jake, and I got back together. A lot has also happened in that time. We made our relationship public in front of our closest friends and family, and they accepted our relationship and talked about it nicely. Well, however, I had to keep Jake away from Yeji because she was a big fan of his, and they were just fooling around with each other.

"Exactly! A little respect for us singles, if you please!", Sunoo added sarcastically, but quickly fell silent when Jungwon looked to the side, slightly annoyed.

He had recently broken up with his girlfriend Selkui, whom he had been dating for over four and a half years.

Jay quickly put a shoulder around the younger man, who winced at the sudden touch. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, and I wasn't sure what it all meant, because Jungwon had to grin slightly.
"Since when do we have that rule? Do we have to go back to Secret Lover?" laughed Jake with one eyebrow raised. "Since we got here," Sunoo replied. "But you guys don't seem to care about the rule if we're going to be nostalgic about our visit to the club yesterday," Jungwon suddenly interjected. I started to blush and almost choked on my spit. I coughed in embarrassment, Jake patted me on the shoulder in shock, while Heeseung just laughed.
