After they finished eating, they went back to the living room to keep sharing stories. They sat together in a circle in front of the red sofa.

"The tteok-bokki tastes really good, Chi-yun. Tell your mom to say thanks from us." Taylor smiled.

"I will. I'm glad to hear it." Chi-yun smiled.

"So...tell us more about Urk. Tell us that we have never heard before." Nate spoke to Chi-yun.

Chi-yun began to think carefully with those memories. Suddenly, one of the memories reminded her that she hasn't told before.

"I got one, but it's really a scary story. You think you can handle it?" Chi-yun warned them.

Everyone nodded.

"Ok." Chi-yun lets out a deep sigh.

"In one time in Urk, my two friends and I, Khalil and Fatima were walking together. We just walked out from the town; we were in the middle of a lone road. In one time, we saw the beautiful view of the ocean's horizon. Until Fatima called us that there was a red car stuck on the cliff. I could hardly believe but I got to check to see if that's the truth. So, I walked a bit further in the road, and what I found...was true what she said." Chi-yun expressed.

"Mwo? Was anymore there?" Han-yeol gasped.

"Unfortunately, yeah. Chi-hoon, Eun-hee, Mo-yeon and Si-jin were in there." Chi-yun spoke.

"Oh, my God." Taylor shuddered.

Everyone else feared of hearing the experience of being stuck hanging on the cliff.

"And what did you do?" Nate asked.

"Well, what came into my mind was get the two kids in the car and fly off the cliff. So I did." Chi-yun spoke.

"What?! Didn't you get hurt?" Ivy gasped.

"No one got hurt, thank God. I was controlling the car from falling down. When I jumped off the cliff, I flew down on the water's surface, all the way to the shore. It was the first time I took a flight that far. I was scared to be honest. And I think I scared all of them; I felt sorry for that." Chi-yun told.

"You just landed on the shore, but how did you guys got back all the way up to the cliff?" Anna Grace asked.

"This is the moment that I've been waiting to tell you about this. I told the rest to go back to the car. What I did..." Chi-yun told then she stood up from the floor.

"What I did was that I controlled the car by my powers, and I lifted it up all the way, no matter how many times." Chi-yun expressed as she pretended she was lifting something up.

"All the way to cliff? And how you got up there after that?" Han-yeol asked.

"Well, I made the highest jump that I never experienced in my whole life. I jumped all the way up to the road, next to the cliff." Chi-yun spoke.

"I wish I would have witnessed it." Han-yeol gasped.

"Same, bro." Nate spoke.

"Chi-yun, I wanted to ask you something." Ivy admitted.

Chi-yun nodded.

"Where's your dress?" She asked.

Chi-yun smiled.

"Perfect timing. Watch closely what I'll do." She spoke.

Chi-yun was still standing; she placed her hand on her chest. Suddenly, a glowing, white ring appeared in the floor and surrounded her. It startled her UCLA friends a little but Chi-yun calms them down.

"It's okay. Nothing will harm me." Chi-yun spoke.

She stared down at the ring and closed her eyes. Then, she slowly spun around and the ring began to float up form her feet. Below the ring, a stardust had formed like a nebula in space. The ring kept floating up to her waist; her dress was forming below, engulfed by the stardust. Then, it went all the way up to her head. She was like a column of stardust. The light from the dust illuminated the whole room. Then, the stardust began to fade away from her as the powerful Lee Chi-yun has come again. Her casual clothes had turned into the sparkling, white off-the-shoulder dress with transparent cape. Her hair is always vivid, voluminous and wavy since the beginning of her transformation. Everyone was amazed of her 'magic' trick.

"Aigoo." Han-yeol whispered.

Chi-yun smiled at their amazement.

"Wow, Chi-yun. You look way different than before. I guess you should stay like that." Taylor spoke.

Chi-yun furrowed her eyebrows.

"You think?" Chi-yun asked.

They nodded as if they love seeing Chi-yun in a simple but amazing dress.

"Well, all right." Chi-yun chuckled and shrugged her shoulders.

She sat down on the floor.

"Anyways, I want to tell you something that marked me in life and I'll never forget." Chi-hoon told.

"We were in the rescue mission. I was nervous in that time because it was my first time. But I decided to go for it because I want to take the risk of it. I really want to know how brave she is in that dangerous mission. Despite of my heart hammering hard, I'm like 'This is it. Don't get scared now'. Eun-hee and I were keeping our eyes in a dark, abandoned room, as if any moment someone could get us. Suddenly, we heard some alarming noises. We were ready as we fought those bad guys off." Chi-hoon told.

"Did you get hurt?" Han-yeol spoke.

"We didn't get hurt throughout the mission." Chi-hoon spoke.

"But I'll never forget when those four men with their guns pointing at me. They thought I would never make it through. But I thought, 'They'll be proven wrong if I show off my manly side. When Eun-hee just killed four men, I broke the ice and killed those four men, one by one." He continued.

"Whoa. And what the enemy?" Nate asked.

"I punched him hard right in the face, because he threatened Mo-yeon, by pointing his gun on her head. After that, Chi-yun killed him with her gun." Chi-hoon told.

"Damn, you know how to kill the evil, though. Besides..." Han-yeol spoke then pasued for a moment.

Han-yeol looked at Chi-hoon's calm face. Of course, some moments scared him off. But what has happened is already over.

"You're a changed man. I know you look the same as always, since I met you for the first time when I was a child. But I'm seeing a change in you. Maybe you're not that naïve boy anymore. But it's better to take the risks because it'll make you grow and change. You're a man now." Han-yeol nearly broke his voice.

Chi-hoon smiled as he got up, walked towards Han-yeol and hugged him.

"It's okay to have a change. Every time changes come, changes go by." Chi-hoon spoke in their hug.

Han-yeol smiled; he might expect to have a change in his life.

After then, Anna Grace saw the silver bracelet shining on her wrist.

"Chi-yun, who gave you that bracelet?" Anna Grace asked.

"This?" Chi-yun pointed her bracelet.

"A friend of mine gave this to me before I left Urk. He's a rookie soldier from Korea." Chi-yun spoke.

"Really?" Nate asked.

"Yeah. Look what it says on this tag." Chi-yun spoke as she showed the bracelet tag to Nate.

"Make impossible possible." Nate read the tag; he seemed impressed after reading that quote.

"Yeah. It fits for me. Whenever the times gets tougher, the stronger I will be. He has the same bracelet as mine." Chi-yun spoke.

"Jinjaeyo?" Han-yeol asked.

Chi-yun nodded.

"And I want you to show you something else." Chi-yun spoke as she took out Min-jae's broken white helmet.

Her UCLA friends were shocked to see it.

"Who gave you this?" Taylor asked as she gave a closer look at it.

"Min-jae." Chi-yun spoke.

Everyone were like if she's crazy or serious.

"He gave it to me to remember the best decision he made...was to forgive me. He wanted that helmet to think about him." Chi-yun spoke.

"Wow. I guess you were deeply touched about it." Anna Grace spoke.

"I was." Chi-yun nodded as Anna Grace handed the helmet to her.

"Anyways, we already planned on going to the mall tomorrow, so... what are we going to do over there?" Chi-yun asked.

"Maybe we'll just walk around in some stores. We'll bring money just in case if we wanted to buy something." Han-yeol spoke.

"Hey, will your mom come with us?" Chi-yun asked him.

"Ne. Your parents can come if they want to. If they can't, it's okay." Han-yeol spoke.

Chi-yun just shrugged her shoulders, and looked at Khalil and Fatima. Their looks tell her that they're paying close attention to those new conversations.

"Khalil and Fatima, you'll go with me to buy some new clothes for you ok?" Chi-yun spoke.

The two kids nodded with a smile; everyone was deeply touched of Chi-yun's kindness.

"That's sweet of you, yeodongsaeng." Chi-hoon smiled; Chi-yun chuckled.

"If they have a need; I feel the need to fulfill it." Chi-yun spoke as she placed her arms around their shoulders.

"Chi-yun, Chi-hoon. It's your dad, he's coming to pick you up." Mrs. Kim called.

Everyone didn't say anything but frowned a little.

"We better go. But we'll see you when we'll go the mall together." Chi-yun stood up as she puts all her things back to her silver tote bag.

Chi-hoon, Eun-hee, Khalil and Fatima stood up together.

"Yeah. Do you know what time we'll be going tomorrow?" Anna Grace asked.

"What do you guys think at one in the afternoon?" Chi-yun asked.

"Sounds good to us." Ivy nodded.

"Great, all right. We'll see you." Chi-yun spoke.

"Bye, guys. Have a nice night." Taylor waved.

"You, too. And get some sleep!" Chi-hoon smiled.

And everyone laughed together as the siblings, the two kids and Eun-hee left.

Han-yeol looked at Ivy; she seemed brooding about something.

"Was she thinking what I'm thinking?" He thought.

About five minutes later, Ivy was standing in a dark bedroom. She was looking out of the window with flowing white curtains on both sides. It frames the glittery lights across the night-filled streets. It seemed beautiful for her like she wanted to stare at it. Han-yeol secretly went into the bedroom, approached her and he snaked his arms around her waist. She shivered a little but she knew it's her boyfriend.

"Loving the view?" Han-yeol whispered in her earlobe.

"I love it." Ivy sighed as she felt a chill in her spine.

"I've seen this view many times before I went to Los Angeles." He spoke.

"Really?" Ivy asked and he nodded.

But still, Han-yeol was still thinking about something else. He wanted to ask Ivy something but unsure if she might be able to answer it. He sighed as he was ready to go for it.

"Ivy...have you been awake at night before?" Han-yeol asked her.

Ivy tried to remember when was the first time she experienced. She already knew she had a nightmare about 9/11 and Han-yeol comforted her one time. But after that, she knew what kept her up at night besides that.

"Sometimes. Why?" Ivy spoke.

"Because the first time I met you, I couldn't sleep because I was still thinking about you. I wondered when would be the time that I get to know you deeply. To wipe your tears and make you smile. To hug you like you're part of me. To hold your soft hands. To massage your shoulders when you need. To kiss your lips if we realized we're in love with each other. To make our perfect, intimate moments. To make ourselves as if we're king and queen. I wondered when it would happen all of that. As the time goes by, it happens little by little. Sometimes in the day, I fantasized about you. Even if you don't know it. And it did happen everything. If it weren't for you to come here, where will I be? Hard to imagine, huh?" Han-yeol admitted.

Ivy was melting into Han-yeol's confession. She just nodded.

"I feel you. Since you texted me that you had a surprise for me...I already know it was our first dance. But the night before, I couldn't sleep until 2:30 in the morning. I was thinking deeply about you. I remembered when you gave me a massage in my shoulders in front of our friends. I was a bit shy but I liked it anyways. I wondered if you're in love with me. Then, my feelings of you began to develop, even if I didn't notice it. Then, the next day came. Every time I think about you, my heart skipped a beat. While Anna Grace was doing a makeover on me, I asked her about if you have any feelings of me. Anna Grace understood how I've felt. She told me if I've a feeling that's more than a friendship, I'll just let it all out." Ivy admitted.

Ivy paused for a moment to say something else.

She lets out of a deep sigh.

"And I did during our first dance. It was like some sort of ecstasy." She confessed.

Man, he couldn't do anything but plant some kisses on her neck. She closed her eyes for a while, enjoying the sensual feeling of his lips making contact on her soft skin. Suddenly, Ivy placed her hand on the back of his neck. Their lust-filled eyes were on each other before locking lips. Their tongues danced together for a while before they broke apart with pants.

"Ivy...will you..." Han-yeol heavily panted.

Ivy was also catching her breath.

"Take a bath with me?" He asked.

Ivy never expected him to ask like this, but she chuckled.

"You want to?" Ivy nervously asked.

"Yeah." He admitted despite of blushing.

Ivy giggled.

"Okay...jagi." She smiled at him in his eyes.

He smiled as he gave her peck on her lips.

"I'll go run some water and put some soap, okay?" Han-yeol told as he walked in the bathroom.

"OK." She called out.

She looked herself in the mirror next to her. Then, she closed the white curtains, illuminating the room a bit. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and gray knee-length shorts. She slowly pulled her shirt over her head, showing her white lacy bra. Her defined collarbones and carved abdomen illuminated by the moonlight. Then, she pulled down her shorts, leaving her white undies on. But she was unsure if she'll take her intimate clothes off, too. However, she already knew that her chest was bare by taking her white dress off, when she had her intimate romance with him last time. So, she decided to go nude.

In the bathroom, the water was running about a while ago, filling the tub. Han-yeol was only wearing his dark blue boxers. Han-yeol stared himself in the bathroom mirror. His body was slowly turning into a man. Well, he's a man already. He remembered he was an adorable and innocent kid. Now puberty had him hard for good. He looked down at his boxers, feeling a bit nervous but ready to take in the tub. He slowly pulled his boxers down. Then, he walked in and sat the bubbly, water-filled tub. He'll just have to wait for Ivy to come in. Suddenly, he saw Ivy walking in the bathroom, only with a white towel wrapping around her body.

They looked at each other despite of blushing. Then, she slowly took the towel off, leaving her whole body bare. She walked in as her feet dipped in the water, then sat in front of Han-yeol with her back facing him. He gently scrubbed her back with a washcloth, mesmerized by the smooth texture of her skin.

"Ivy, why you got to be so beautiful? Besides, I can't stop touching your skin, it felt so smooth." Han-yeol softly complimented as Ivy just smiled.

He slowly stroked down her arm which gave her shivers.

"Your touches are giving me chills, Han-yeol." Ivy nervously chuckled.

"Aww...but your skin looks beautiful, Ivy. And why? I'm the love of your life." Han-yeol expressed.

She blushed when he complimented her skin. Then, he leaned closer to her back and wrapped arms around her chest. Since they're both bare, she felt his toned chest on her back; his whole body touching her.

"You may think your skin is normal, it is. But for me, your skin is always beautiful. Don't be glum, it makes me a bit sad." Han-yeol expressed.

Ivy felt herself melting into his compliments. She turned her head to face Han-yeol; they were inches apart.

"Han-yeol, you always know how to make me happy. Please don't be sad. Before, I didn't like my skin being touched. But now I'm feeling okay with it since it's you." Ivy spoke.

They smiled at each other before she kissed light Han-yeol on the lips. Then he kissed Ivy back, but with passion. She placed her hand behind her neck while their lips were gliding against each other. After a minute of tasting each other's caramel-filled lips, they slowly broke apart. Then, they kept washing together in the bathtub.

After their bath, Han-yeol, wearing only with his black boxers, was fixing the pillows on the bed to make them feel comfortable. Ivy just walked out from the bathroom, with her white towel wrapping around her body. She was looking for her nighties, but she felt her towel slipping down on the floor. She was only wearing her white lacy undies. She turned and was facing Han-yeol inches apart.

"Just stay like that." Han-yeol whispered and stroked gently down her arms, then to her carved waist.

Their eyes looked at each other with love. He scooped her in his arms and placed her on the bed. He laid next to her and covered their lower bodies with white blankets.

"Hang on, I can't sleep without this." He spoke as he turned off the lamp.

The room turned dark except the illumination of the white curtains. He slowly gave her a passionate kiss. Then, they make out a little until they fell asleep.
