Mara, an ordinary person, is struggling with a difficult decision. Should she continue living a solitary life or take a chance and open her heart to a celebrity she met unexpectedly while experiencing a moment of serendipity? All she wants is to hea...
"He calls me Oppa since I am two years older than her," Jang answered proudly.
Rich's mouth opened. "I thought I can call anyone Oppa as long as I find him handsome!"
Mara and Josh giggled as they listened to Rich and Jang's conversation.
"Based on age, how will Mara call Josh? Mara is 3yrs older than Josh. Should Josh call Mara Noona?" Rich asked in a teasing tone.
Josh looked at Mara as if he was about to kiss her. But he started caressing Mara's hair. "Even though I would want Mara to call me Oppa!"
Mara grinned. "Is that required? We can call each other by our names, or maybe we can make up our names for each other."
"Like what? Cupcake, honeybunch, or sweetie pie?" Rich crackled.
"Why not just sugar, since all of those are too sweet!" Jang replied.
Mara threw a pillow toward Rich, and Josh threw a water bottle toward Jang. Since it was raining hard outside, they all stayed in their cottages after breakfast. Mara and Josh moved to Josh's cottage.
"I extended one week off from work. Jang told Rich that you are returning to Korea by the end of the month?" asked Mara.
"I already told him he can go ahead, but I will stay behind for another 2wks since I agreed for a month's vacation," Josh replied.
"Is that possible in your work?" Mara pouted.
"That is what I agreed on," said Josh as his fingers touched her lips.
"What will you do in those two weeks? I am going back to work by then. Remember, I only have an additional one week after this one?"
Josh smiled. "Then I will bring you to work, read a book in the park, and pick you up from work. I don't care, however, as long as I get the chance to be with you daily."
"What? You are being stubborn, Josh!"
"Why don't you call me Oppa? Say it!"
Mara's face turned crimson. "I don't want to. I love saying your name!"
It was a rainy day, but their time together was as warm as their love for each other. Of course, it may just be simple gestures of sitting beside each other, eating together, cuddling, laughing hard together, and sweet kisses. But for the two of them, it was a day well-spent. Right after the rain stopped, they heard Rich's loud knocking.
"Girlfriend, are you there? Let us go for a walk and drink in the bar near the lighthouse." When he didn't hear any response, he shouted. "Oppa! Please open the door."
Mara was laughing as she walked towards the door. "Best friend, you are so loud!"
"Let's go!" said Rich.
Before Mara could ask for Jang, the guy stormed in and immediately gave instructions when he saw Josh come out of the bathroom. "Please wear the set of clothes I marked beachwear. I need to take your pictures in the lighthouse!"
"You can take as many pictures of mine instead!" Rich faced Jang.

"The view of the lighthouse at this time of the day is so gorgeous. Let us take your pictures there. Also, some near the beach." Jang said as he started taking pictures of Josh.
"What are those pictures for?" Rich asked curiously.
"It's for his work," Jang answered.
Mara watched as Jang took Josh's pictures. Then, finally, she can't help but ask Rich. "Best friend, look at Josh. He poses like a model, right? And those eyes! Every time I see his gaze, I remember it like I have seen it before. His gaze looks so familiar!"
Rich thought Mara was making him jealous. "I know! You're just bragging about your Oppa posing like a model and that he has deep gazing eyes! Noona, you're such a bragger!"
Mara laughed so hard. "You're one crazy!"

"This will be our treat. And also, when we return to Boston, everything after here will be on us!" Josh told everyone at the table.
"Waiter! How much is this bar? My Oppas here will pay for it, including you!" Rich shouted.
"Don't mind him. He's crazy drunk!" Mara told the server.
It was a night of laughter and never-ending funny stories about Rich and Jang. While Mara and Josh are just happily sitting beside each other with their hands held. They were the silent audience of Rich and Jang's funny antics. Another memory added to their adventure X4!
