"Oh Minho, it's beautiful!" She slips the delicate diamond and opal ring onto the ring finger of her left hand, admiring it as it sparkles underneath the dull lights inside the car. "I couldn't have picked out a more gorgeous ring myself." She kisses his cheek and goes back to singing Christmas carols.
Minho smiles, watching her from his peripheral vision as he drives home to their apartment. "I'm happy you like it, love."
"Are you kidding me? I absolutely adore it!"
"Well it is yours, darling." The couple sing along to the radio happily, gazing at the red and green lights outside their windows as it starts to lightly snow.
"Oh darling, look at the snowflakes...they're so pretty."
"Not as pretty as you, precious." He smiles at her, flattering her in compliments to make her happy.
"You flatter me too much, Lee Minho." Sihyeon replies, blushing and hiding her rosy cheeks.
"I only flatter you because it's the truth, future Mrs. Lee Sihyeon." Minho lifts her hand up to place a soft kiss on the back of it, followed by delicate pecks on her knuckles. She laughs.
"Minnie stop it, that tickles."
"I know love, that's why I'm doing it." Sihyeon looks down at her rather large baby bump and caresses it softly.
"Your father is a bit too flirty tonight for my taste...maybe his daughter will straighten him up when she's here."
"No way, she'll be just like me...you'll be stuck with me and a mini me in female form." Minho chuckles. His fiance rolls her eyes and stares out the window. He continues to drive down the lightly trafficked road, the snow beginning to coat the front windshield. He turns the windshield wipers on, only to notice that the wipers aren't moving.
"Are they frozen to the window? We did get some really cold temperatures last night." Sihyeon asks.
"I don't know...let me try them again." He presses the button again and they work, only for both Minho and Sihyeon to notice a swerving truck heading straight for their car, honking and shining the headlights into their window. Minho tries to drive out of the way, but it's already too late.
The truck slams into the passenger side of the car, making the Subaru bounce at impact and roll onto its side. Minho uses his arm to cover Sihyeon's bump protectively, keeping it glued to her as tight as he can as the glass windows break and shards fly inside the vehicle. He only opens his eyes when the car has stopped shaking, and he looks around at the damage.
"Baby, are you okay?" He asks his fiance, turning his head slightly to look at her, only to notice she isn't moving. "Sihyeon?" No answer. "Baby? Mimi?" He tries her nickname but still no response. He unbuckles himself and crawls to her seat, unbuckling her and lifting her into his arms.
"Sihyeon darling, wake up for me." He shakes her lightly. "Sihyeon? Come on baby, come on wake up for me...come on love." Minho continues trying to wake her, not noticing the blood gushing from the side of her head. He slowly starts to take note of her lifeless body, her head hanging limply over his arm.
"No no no Sihyeon no no no you can't leave me, please come back...please come back to me, come on." He begins to sob, the warm tears falling down his cheeks and onto hers, mourning over the dead body of his lover. Minho grazes his hand over her bump, making sure nothing happened to their baby. He lifts her shirt up to see her stomach completely intact and sighs in relief, but continues crying until paramedics come to get them.
"SIHYEON!" He wails loudly, every piece of his heart shattering. He still cries and wails as the firefighters drag him and his lifeless fiance out of the crashed vehicle.
After Minho's recovery at the hospital, he was informed that his child was able to be saved but his fiance was not. Sihyeon had suffered extreme brain damage and died on impact. The doctors were able to remove the baby girl from Sihyeon's body, and after careful consideration Minho decided to give his daughter up to his aunt and uncle in Daegu, who had been wanting a baby but were never able to. The child knows who her real father is but doesn't get to see him very often.
