Chapter 18

Six years later

I smile at him. "No, I love it." He smiles at me. "I'm glad you do. I worked really hard on it. And I hope you'll put it up in your new office." He says. I hold the frame it has several pictures. It warmed my heart.

"This is really precious, you know that Jun?" I ask. He smiles shyly. "Well. I just panted the frame, Hana was the one that put all the pictures together. She wanted to make sure to include a lot of pictures of Kit." I chuckle. "Not it's great. You two contributed equally to this sweet surprise." I say. Finally Hana walks into the kitchen. "I'm here!" She screams. She has Kit in her left arm and Snowball in the other. They were huge. I smile grabbing Kit, he rubs her head against me.

"So what else did they tell you about the position?" Jun asks me.  "I start right away on Monday. So they gave me the weekend off. Which I'm so happy about because then I can enjoy the Cherry Blossom festival." I smile. They both look at each other and I wait for them to say something. "You two will be in town for it.. right?" I ask, though I knew the answer. It was a no, they wouldn't be able to go this year.

"One of our warehouses in the US has some problems, and you know we have to be the ones to go and check it out." Jun says. I nod. "I know." I say. I click my tongue in disappointment. "The perks of owning several businesses." I say. Hana and Jun nod. "But hey. You'll be a CEO comes Monday. So that's something great for you." Hana says. I shrug. The cherry blossom festival without them would feel so lonely.

For seven years we'd always go, it was like our new tradition. They both tilt their heads. "You still better go." Jun says. I frown. "What's the point?" I ask. They both stare at me with a straight face. "Seulgi." Hana says. I slouch. "What." I say. "Look. For sure next year well go all together again, okay? Go for us." She says. "Yeah. And take pictures. Send them to us so we can be there with you in spirit." Jun says. I nod. "Fine." I say. They smile and nod.

"So should we go?" Hana asks. I nod getting up and setting Kit on the floor. I see Snowball jump from Hana's arms and follow Kit. "Dads going to be mad that you have cats fur on your dress. You know he hates cats." Jun says. Hana let's out a breath and grabs her purse that was on the island. She pulls out a small lint roller and rolls up all the white cat hair that was scattered on her black dress.

She pulls off the paper so that there's a new sticky one, she hands it to me so that I can clean my blouse. "Let's go." Jun says grabbing a bottle of wine from his wine celler. I nod and we head out. We head to my 2026 Camero z, this years top selling car. "Still can't believe you bought this thing." Jun says. I throw him a smirk. "You're just jealous." I say. He nods checking my car out like he always did.

"I am. This car is a monster. You think you can handle all the power on this baby?" He asks. I chuckle, he acts like I haven't been driving it. "You want to drive her don't you?" I ask. He nods fast. I dangle the keys in front of him, he was acting like a kid in a candy shot.. no. Actually, he was acting how every man acted when you asked them if they wanted to drive a muscle car. Like a little girl. He shoves the wine bottle at Hana. "Hey!" She screams when it always falls.

He snatches the keys from my hand and runs to the driver side. I found myself laughing. "You ready to go?" I ask Hana. She nods. "You got a doggy bag in your car by any chance?" She asks. I laugh. "No. Just try not to throw up this time like you almost did in Jun's car." I say. She frowns. "Jun drives like he's on a hot pursuit." She whines. I smile. "He's just letting the car drives him, Hana. It's a muscle car thing." I say, patting her shoulder.

I open the passenger side and hop in the back, while Hana took the front. Jun starts my car up. It roars then hums ever so smoothly, a smile splits his. "Oh my God. This is he most beautiful car I've ever set my hands on." He says running his hands over the leather wheel. "Don't get all wet now." Hana says. Jun looks at her with the most mischievous smile on his face. It's a sign for me to hurt up and buckle my seat belt.
