Epilogue: A Love That Endures

Eun Ho’s Success:

After returning to Seoul, Eun Ho threw herself into her work with renewed vigor. The love and support she received from Kang Joo, even from afar, fueled her passion and determination. Her dedication didn’t go unnoticed. She quickly rose through the ranks at PPS Broadcasting Channel, her talent and hard work earning her widespread recognition.

As time passed, Eun Ho’s name became synonymous with excellence in broadcasting. Her interviews were insightful, her reporting sharp and engaging. Audiences across South Korea tuned in to watch her, captivated by her poise and professionalism. The culmination of her hard work came when she was awarded the Best Announcer Award, a prestigious honor that solidified her place as a valuable asset to the network.

The night she received the award was a moment of triumph. Dressed in an elegant gown, Eun Ho accepted the accolade with grace, her heart swelling with pride. But amidst the applause and congratulations, her thoughts turned to Kang Joo. Later that night, she sent him a video message, her voice filled with emotion as she thanked him for his unwavering support.

“I couldn’t have done this without you,” she said, her eyes shining with tears of joy. “No matter how far apart we are, I’ve always felt you with me. This award is as much yours as it is mine.”

Kang Joo, watching the message in his Paris office, smiled warmly, his heart brimming with love for the woman who had achieved so much. Their love, despite the distance, had remained strong, and he knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together.

Kang Joo’s Triumph:

Meanwhile, Kang Joo’s business in Paris was flourishing. His fashion brand had not only established itself in Europe but had also gained international acclaim. The designs that bore his name were seen on runways in Paris, New York, and Milan, and his company became a powerhouse in the global fashion industry.

The success of his brand led to new opportunities, including collaborations with other recognized international brands. As his influence grew, Kang Joo knew it was time to bring his company’s presence back to Seoul, the city that had always been close to his heart. The decision to open a major branch in Seoul was both a business move and a personal one.

Back in Seoul, Kang Joo’s achievements didn’t go unnoticed. His leadership and vision earned him a prestigious award as a successful young CEO, further cementing his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the business world. The recognition was a proud moment for him, but his thoughts, like Eun Ho’s, always turned to the love that had carried him through his journey.

His company’s expansion into Seoul was met with excitement and anticipation. The collaboration with renowned brands only added to the buzz, making the opening a landmark event in the city’s fashion scene. But for Kang Joo, the most significant part of this move was the chance to be closer to Eun Ho, to finally bridge the gap that had kept them apart for so long.

In the months leading up to the Seoul branch’s grand opening, Kang Joo and Eun Ho continued to stay in touch, their bond unshakable despite the miles between them. Their messages, voice notes, and video calls became a lifeline, a way to maintain the connection that had deepened over time. And with each conversation, the excitement of their impending reunion grew stronger.

A New Beginning:

The day finally arrived when Kang Joo returned to Seoul for good. The opening of his company’s new branch was a major event, drawing attention from the media and fashion enthusiasts alike. But for Kang Joo, the highlight of the day wasn’t the business success—it was the knowledge that he was now in the same city as Eun Ho, ready to start the next chapter of their lives together.

After the opening event, Kang Joo made his way to Busan, the place where their love had been rekindled. He had planned something special, something he had been waiting to do since they first reconnected. The sun was beginning to set as he arrived at the beach, the golden light casting a warm glow over the sand and sea.

Eun Ho was already there, standing by the water’s edge, the gentle waves lapping at her feet. When she saw him approaching, her heart skipped a beat, a mixture of excitement and nervousness filling her chest. She had missed him so much, and now that he was here, everything felt like a dream.

Kang Joo walked up to her, his heart pounding with anticipation. They stood together in silence for a moment, just taking in the sight of each other, before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.

Kang Joo stood before Eun Ho, the golden light of the setting sun casting a warm glow over the beach, their beach, where everything had begun. His heart swelled with emotions too deep to put into words, but he knew he had to try. He reached out, gently taking her hands in his, his touch tender and filled with love.

“Eun Ho,” he began, his voice soft and steady, yet carrying the weight of all the love he held for her. “The moment we found each other again, I knew—deep in my heart—that I didn’t want to spend another day without you by my side. Every day we’ve been apart, every moment we’ve shared, has only made me realize how much I need you in my life.”

He paused, his eyes locking onto hers, filled with sincerity and devotion. “We’ve been through so much together, and every challenge, every obstacle, has only made our love stronger, more resilient. I didn’t come back to Seoul just for my business. I came back for you. For us. Because I want to build a life with you—a life overflowing with love, laughter, and all the beautiful moments we’ve dreamed of.”

With a slight tremble in his hands, Kang Joo reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. As he opened it, the diamond inside caught the last rays of the setting sun, sparkling like the love he felt in his heart. “Eun Ho,” he whispered, his voice filled with emotion, “will you marry me? Will you be my partner, my love, my everything, for the rest of our lives?”

Eun Ho’s eyes filled with tears, her heart bursting with the overwhelming love she felt for the man standing before her. In that moment, everything she had ever wanted, everything she had ever dreamed of, was right here. She looked at him, the man who had been her constant through every high and low, and knew there was no other answer. “Yes, Kang Joo,” she whispered, her voice trembling with joy. “Yes, a thousand times yes.”

Kang Joo’s face broke into a radiant smile as he gently slipped the ring onto her finger, sealing their promise to one another. As they embraced, the world around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them, wrapped in the warmth of their love. They kissed, a kiss that spoke of all the passion, all the tenderness, and all the unspoken promises that lay ahead.

The waves gently lapped at their feet, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the beach in a soft twilight, and in that perfect moment, they knew they had found their forever. Their journey had been long, filled with trials and tribulations, but standing there on the beach where it had all begun, Kang Joo and Eun Ho knew that every step had been worth it. Together, they were ready to face whatever the future held, hand in hand, heart to heart, forever.
