EPILOGUE

T Z U Y U

I came home, knowing that she's waiting for me. I finally returned to South Korea with only thoughts of marrying the woman that I loved the most. It was supposed to be Sana Unnie's flight to Taiwan, but something came up so I told her I'd go instead. I had to talk to my mom for hours to ask for her permission, but it was worth it. In the end, she understood how I truly felt just like how a mother would and allowed me to go. Sana Unnie was the only person who made me feel this way. There was no other reason. Maybe this is what they call destiny? I guess that's what it is.

And before I even realized, this perfect woman was already hugging me from behind.

"Tzuyu-yah!!"

I looked back and I couldn't help but feel emotional upon seeing her face. "Sana Unnie.."

"Aww.. what's with the look? Aren't you happy to see me?!" she pouted.

I shook my head. "I-I'm just so happy that we're finally together now, Sana Unnie."

"Me too, Tzuyu-yah, me too," she smiled again.

After a few moments, we headed directly to her car. She said that we're going somewhere other people haven't been to and it's going to be very important for the both of us, so we're directly going there.

Due to the flight, I was just quietly leaning my head on the window. I'm still a bit jet lagged. But I guess I made it too obvious, because she suddenly looked at me.

"Tzuyu-yah, are you okay?"

"H-Huh? Yeah Unnie.. I'm okay."

Even though I said that, she kept checking me out for the next couple of minutes. Thankfully, there weren't a lot of cars on the highway right now. Maybe because it's already 5pm on an ordinary Wednesday.

"Do you want me to pull over? I think you're still jet lagged," she said with obvious concern in her voice.

"But it's already 5pm, Unnie. I want to get there soon."

"It's okay, we can be late for a few minutes," she said before stopping the car upon a gasoline station nearby.

Silence remained between us. She just quietly watched over me, staring at me.

"Unnie, don't worry about me. It's normal to be jet-lagged after a flight."

I just can't stand making her worried over such a small thing.

"I know," she answered, leaving me confused.

"You know? But why do you keep on looking at m--"

"Because you're pretty."

Ah seriously..

"U-Unnie!"

That surely made my heart beat faster than it's supposed to though.

She winked at me before looking back in front. "I'm just happy, Tzuyu-yah.. that someone like you is going to be mine."

As expected, she didn't really change one bit. She's still consistent, just like when we first met. And that's why I ended up falling for her even more..

Sana Unnie has always been this girl to me. She became really close to my heart. I guess I wouldn't even know what happiness truly feels like without her.

"Tzuyu-yah?" she suddenly called me, making me realize that I actually dozed off for a minute.

"Y-Yeah, Unnie?"

"Why are you staring at me?" she playfully smiled at me.

Was I staring at her?!

"I wasn't, Unnie!" I immediately denied. "I-I just suddenly dozed off, that's why!"
