Eunji sat on her vanity, putting her trademark red lipstick. She applied it generously, careful not to get out of her lines. She smiled when she finished. She was ready to host one more show. It wouldn't be the last of course. She turned around when someone knocked on her door. 

"Come in!" She answered with a soft, but bossy voice. The young man came in with an enormous bouquet on his arms. Red roses, her favorite.

"Is this for me? Wow- daebak! What actor or singer do I have to thank again?" She said mischievously, at the handsome young boy. He just smiled. 

'Eunji, I don't think this is from a celeb. This was a special order from overseas. US I think?' 

"Is there a card?" He shrugged. He placed the bouquet on her lap and searched for a card. 
'Ta-da! Give me the bouquet and open the card!' He said excited. She nodded a couple of times, before taking a deep breath.

Oh God, please let it be the person I want it to be...

  'Sorry. Congrats on your success- Nara'

It is!

"Omg! Omg look, look at this! Look at this! Can you believe it? Nara sent me flowers!" Eunjae jumped up and down.

'Your-your daughter?' The guy muttered, so what was the matter if her daughter sent her flowers, he thought.

"Pabo, pabo pabo! Silly! This" She held up the card "This Nara, is the reason for everything! She's the reason I named my daughter Nara! Silly yeobo!"

Yes, she called him honey. They had a secret relationship, even if the poor guy was way younger than her. She didn't mind, he was a great guy- this only mattered.   

She couldn't believe... she waited so many years... Day after day she prayed for her to send her a sign.. A sign that she knows what she had become... Just a sign. It was all she needed. That's why she kept on being a tv hostess, that meant more fame, which meant Nara would find her easily.

"Yeobo. Tomorrow will be the last show to air under my name. My last show, wow."

'I refuse. And I'm sure the channel will refuse too. Eunji, you are the best out there, don't destroy it because of a letter. I'm sure the sender would be very sad if they heard you're quitting. They even congratulate you on your success! Don't spoil all of our hard work.' He explained and she nodded. 

"You are right. Anyways, now, I can sleep better at nights. I have everything in this life now. She forgave me." She said and gave him a big kiss on the lips. 


Junjae on the other hand, was getting ready to go to Eunjae's show. They had reconciled, and they apologized to each other. By that time, Eunjae helped him find Nara, but they didn't make it. They are still trying, even after all these years. Eunjae, because of her gratitude, named her oldest after him, which kid Junjae loves to pieces. He loves both of her kids, but this little guy could easily be his son. He treated them like royals, made sure they had the vvip seats on his concerts. 

People often said that they are his kids, but stupid people believed what they wanted. 

"Great job today guys. We have to attend Eunji's show, so get ready."

'June, June! Someone sent you roses!' All the stuff there whistled at the amount of roses. I smirked. 
"Another fan? Put them on a vase."

'Um, hyung. I don't think these are from just a fan. It was special order from the States. 

States was the magic word. Junjae dropped everything he had and ran to the guy. He desperately searched any sign of who it could have been.

"From the States? Isn't that....?" Sharon chimed in and he looked at her hopeful.

Sharon was six months pregnant. After the whole fiasco, Sharon went to find Junjae in Seoul. This and that, Sharon met Han. After a year they married. Then Han debuted with Junjae and two other members. They have four kids, and they are going on the fifth. Junjae spent lots of time with them, when he was desperate, Sharon and Han kept him afloat.

If it wasn't for them, Junjae wouldn't be the person he was. 

"Could it be Shar? Could she...?" 


"Open that then and find out! Everyone leave- Han, hold the damn bouquet. The boy here must have been tired from all the weight." Everyone left as she said, and bulky Han came to the resque. She fished an envelope and he did as she said. 

"I'm glad you became everything you wanted, my love. Now, find someone to love, time isn't forgiving. Never forget you, Nara'. Oh my god, Nara!" He said and fell to his knees. He started crying, crying so loud. He could feel all these times he thought about her. Damn her too! All these years passed, why didn't she send something, something to soften the pain in his heart, he thought? 

'Come on June, get up dear... Oh dear..! Don't cry, please!' Sharon went to him and pat his head comfortingly. 

"Shar, Han, she wants me to move on... How could I? I have been waiting for her, yet she's telling me to go f- myself, find someone new and move on. How?"

'I'm pretty sure she didn't cuss you out honey- oh, your phone, pick it up!' She said and mentioned to the phone. 

"Hello?"

'-June, you'll never guess what happen. Nara- Nara sent me roses! Two hundred roses, I got bored by counting them all!'

"You got roses too?!? I got the same roses- Eunjae, why now? Why after all these years? It doesn't make sense!" 

'I think... she wants us to be happy. That's why. It's time we relax as well June. We have to. We owe her this- she want us to be happy.'
Eunjae assured him. 

She was right. 

With tears in his eyes, had to accept that they had to be happy. Happy that Nara never forgot them. 

Happy that Nara wanted us to be happy.

But he swore; one day. One day, he would find Nara. 


And never let her go. Never.
