After the doctor checked up on her, she asked Minho, "How long was I in a coma?"

"In six months?"

"Yes, six months," Minho confirmed gently.

"Oh gosh," she murmured, a wave of panic washing over her.

"Six months? What happened while I was in a coma? What about that bastard , Felix, and how are you even here already?"

Minho chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face.

"Yah, why are you laughing?" she asked, playfully throwing a pillow at him.

He caught the pillow and grinned. "I just missed this," he said, his voice full of affection. "Don't worry, everything is fine now. Byungwoo's been dealt with, Felix is safe, and as for me, I'm here because I couldn't stay away from you."

"Ugh, so cheesy, Minho," she said, rolling her eyes but smiling despite herself.

He laughed, reaching out to take her hand. "Cheesy or not, it's the truth," he replied softly, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm just glad you're back."

A year later

Areum stood in the wedding's waiting room, carefully fixing her sister Arin's hair. As she adjusted a loose strand, Areum couldn't help but smile.

"Is this a dream?" she asked, her voice soft and filled with wonder.

Arin chuckled, glancing at her sister in the mirror. "What kind of question is that, sis?"

Areum laughed lightly. "I don't know, I guess I'm just surprised you're the one getting married first. I always thought you'd be single forever."

Arin shot her a playful glare. "What the heck? Yah, Areum! Are you trying to start something?"

"Relax, sis, I'm just kidding," Areum said, giggling. "I'm really happy for you."

Arin rolled her eyes but couldn't help the smile that crept onto her face.

"Well, guess life surprises us sometimes," she said, turning to look at her reflection in the mirror. "Besides, Felix is... different. He makes me happy."

Areum paused, her hands gently working through Arin's hair.

"I'm glad you like him. I definitely have no regrets about introducing him to you. " they both giggled.

Out of sudden , Arin reached up to squeeze her sister's hand. "And what about you and Minho? Are you going to be next?"

Areum blushed, looking away.

"Maybe. I mean, we've talked about it, but nothing's set in stone yet. We're just enjoying our time together, taking things slow."

"That sounds perfect," Arin replied, her voice filled with warmth. "You both deserve to take your time and be happy after what you both have been through before,"

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation, and a voice called from outside. "Five minutes, Arin!"

Arin took a deep breath, nerves fluttering in her stomach. "Well, this is it," she said, standing up.

Areum turned her sister to face her, adjusting the last few strands of her hair. "You look beautiful," she whispered. "Mom and Dad would be so proud."

Tears welled up in Arin's eyes, but she blinked them away, nodding. "Thank you, Areum. For everything."

Areum smiled, pulling her sister into a tight hug. "Always," she said. "Now go out there and marry the love of your life. "

As Arin walked out of the room, Areum stood back, watching her sister step into her new life. A sense of peace washed over her, knowing that despite everything they had been through, they had both found happiness.

With a deep breath, Areum followed Arin out, ready to witness her sister's most beautiful day, surrounded by friends and the family they had built together.

And as the music began to play, Areum couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, dreams really do come true.

While Areum was lost in thought, she felt a gentle hug from behind, causing her to flinch slightly. The familiar scent brought a wave of comfort and relaxation, making her feel at ease.

Minho's voice was warm and gentle as he spoke, his breath brushing against her ear.

"Are you imagining us as the ones getting married, princess?" Minho asked softly, placing a tender kiss on her neck.

She let go of his arm and turned around, a smile on her face.

"Kind of," Areum said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I can't wait for our turn soon." She leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.

"Let's go take a seat, shall we?" Areum suggested.

Suddenly, Minho pressed her gently against the wall. "Can't we just stay here, princess? You look so beautiful." His eyes were soft and full of admiration.

A blush crept onto her cheeks as she chuckled and playfully tapped his chest.

"Oh my god, please stop. We're in public, babe."

"Who cares?" he replied, closing the gap between them. "I want you, princess," he whispered.

She pushed him away, laughing. "Not now, babe." Then, with a quick wink, she ran off, leaving Minho smiling after her.
