Chapter 152 - Epilogue

Kyuri stares up in the sky dumbly. Each balloon is tied to a flower. The entire sky is full of colorful balloons. On each balloon, there's a question.

'Will you marry me, Kyuri?'

The entire city can see the countless balloon floating in the sky.

"It's really harmful to the environment." 6 years old Hae shakes her head. "Daddy, this is crazy."

"Wait for a moment." Kang Si An grins at this daughter. For the past year, he's been proposing to Kyuri who is taking all the time to say yes. He doesn't mind. She will say yes in the end.

He was famous for failed attempts at suicides and brushes with death. Now, he tops the list of failed proposals by celebrities.

After that day, they started dating like a normal couple, cherishing each day with Little Hae. A year ago, Do Sejin came back from the military. Ahn Hana and Do Sejin registered their marriage half a year ago. They are quite close to Kyuri and Si An. It goes without saying that their children are inseparable.

Suddenly, it starts raining rose petals from the sky. Kyuri laughs at the cheesy idea and says, "You make my head hurt."

"Does your heart skips a beat?" Kang Si An asks, amused. He's getting enlisted for the military. It will be two more years if she doesn't say yes.

"Mommy, just say yes." Little Hae frowns at her mother. "Don't make daddy do more. I wake up every day thinking about what's waiting for us."

"Don't you like being famous?" Kyuri winks at her.

"For being the part of failed proposals?" Little Hae shakes her head. "If Daddy take all the proposal methods, what will Hyun do?"

"Aish! This girl." Kyuri glares at Little Hae. "Always Hyun. My romance is more important. If I don't marry your father, what will happen?"

"Mommy, you have 11 years now." Little Hae turns her back to her and crosses her arms.

"Si An, I want a cuter daughter this time," Kyuri complains to Si An. "She shouldn't betray her parents because of her boyfriend."

"Huh?" Si An can't believe what's he's hearing. For the last 3 years, she didn't even let him kiss her on her lips, getting out of his clutches smoothly each time.

"Let's have a wedding." Kyuri shoots dagger what Little Hae's back who huffs and walks back into the house. Inside the house, Little Hae grins and calls Hyun.

[Really? I will tell father and mother. We will come to celebrate.]

"Come quickly."

Little Hae runs to her grandparents to tell the news.

"Are you sure?" Kang Si An asks Kyuri seriously.

"Your proposals have already made big news and there's not enough time before you leave." Kyuri smiles at him.

"There's not enough time to prepare for a grand wedding." Kang Si An sighs. "How about having it after I come back?"

"Preparations are done." Kyuri chuckles. "I have it all done. It's one day before you leave."

"You!" He scowls at her. "You like to torture me."

"You will have one night with me before you leave." She whispers into his ear, bursting into laughter when she sees him glare at her.

She kisses him on his lips suddenly. He's surprised. He moves his face closer to taste her lips again, but she moves her head back. He hears her laugh again. So cunning!

"Can't wait?"

"I can wait." Kang Si An has been waiting for years. A few more days is nothing. "Then, you will be waiting for 2 years. You will miss me every day."

"As if." Kyuri clicks her tongue. "You will also miss me and Little Hae."

"Tch!" Kang Si An can't refute her words. "I don't want to go."

"I don't want you to go either." Kyuri wraps her arms around him, feeling peaceful and restless at the same time. "I should have said yes earlier."

"Stop pretending." He holds her tightly. "You don't regret."

Silence descends between them. He closes his eyes, leaning his head over hers. Being like this is okay too.

"I am home, Si An."

It still feels like a dream that both of them are together after a long time. Before the Keeper comes back and life is thrown in chaos again, they are appreciating each moment of life in their ways. They will continue to do so in the future.
