After 1 year:

Everybody gave her applause when she finally cut the ribbon, signaling the opening of her very first shop.

Crystal Couture is already a success. Right after graduating from Art school and launching her first set of designs in Versailles, Crystal already earned a name as one of Paris' promising new designers.

She stood outside her shop, greeting everyone who is coming in and out of her shop.

Looking out across the street, she saw someone waving out to her.

She waved a hand as he ran across the street. "Gustav."

He smiled the moment he stopped in front of her. "Sorry I'm late."

Crystal smiled back.  "What's important is you came."

"Congratulations." He said, giving her a huge bouquet of flowers. Then his eyes widened when he saw a necklace hanging around her neck.

They remained silent for a while then they chuckled.

"You're wearing the necklace I gave you."

Crystal nodded. "Now you know my answer."

Last winter when everything became a mess and Crystal was still with Bill; Gustav confessed all his hidden feelings. He gave her a necklace with a ring as a pendant. He told her to wear it when the time comes when she realizes what she feels for him.

Gustav can't help but smile as he looked at the looked at the necklace once again and Crystal raised her left hand, showing the ring on her finger. Oh how he waited for this moment.

She moved closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you, Gustav."

Gustav took a deep breath to stop himself from sobbing. "I can't believe this."

Crystal reached for his face and pulled him for a kiss.

His eyes turned in full circles as he wrapped his arms around her.

"One order of Mocha, coming right up!" Georg said to a customer and headed back to the counter.

Jessie rested her elbows on the counter and handed Georg a cup of Mocha.

"You sure you're not tired? I'm not paying you over time, you know." She asked.

Georg shook his head. "You're not paying me in the first place anyway."

Jessie laughed. "Right. What do you want for dinner?"

"Anything will do, so long as I'm going to have it with you." He said with a smirk and walked back to a customer.

Jessie looked at him and smiled. He just looks cool with his hair tied in a pony tail.  She can't help but laugh at how they met. A lot of people don't believe her whenever she tells the story.  Right after their world tour she made her decision. She wants to go out with him. There was no answer to the question why; maybe it's something that she'll find out soon.  And now that the band is working on their separate lives, things are going well for the two of them.

"You'll never regret dating old man Georg!" he told her one day. "Camera's are allergic to me. You don't have to worry about anything."

Then later that afternoon, Tom came to her café.

He walked to his favorite table; the table where he first met Mijin with her mouth wide open as she heard the words "Koreanische Reise".

"Georg, give me some beer." He ordered and Georg dashed to the bar.
