CHAPTER 25: SARANG (JANE)

Jane's heart fell when she heard that Sebastian had caught a bad cold. Her mind split in two as she realized that she won't be with Sebastian for some time. She felt something empty inside her while she tried her best to plaster a smile on her face to not upset Marnie. She was still receiving help, anyway.

She decided to buy chickens from the Ranch owner the three days after the Luau. 'If only Seb was here with me…' She sighed as she looked at the numerous chickens in the large coop. Shane was throwing kernels of corn at the numerous and various chickens, ranging from big, small, brown, white… They were so adorable to Jane. The only thing she found questioning her past biology studies were the unusually blue chickens. She rubbed her eyes to confirm what she was seeing was real, and indeed they were. She decided to approach Shane, who was hugging a white chicken, and tapped his shoulder.

"Buh? Oh, hey Jane." Shane grumbled, patting the chicken's head. "Make it fast. I haven't got the time." That was harsh. Jane decided to keep the question for herself until she saw Marnie glaring at him.

"Shane, watch your manners!" Marnie scolded.

"What does she want from me? I don't talk to strangers."

"Stranger?! She's been here for an entire Season! Of course she's not a stranger!"

"Whatever. Charlie, I'll be with you later." Shane partially apologized before laying the white chicken down. When he saw it waddle back its friends, he turned to the farmer. "Get on with it." With that, Jane started typing.

Where did you get blue chickens?

"Blue chickens, eh? Huh, I guess Shane Lannister, the Chicken Master should tell you. Okay. Those chickens are unique in this place. Can't find them anywhere else."

They're so cute!

"Yeah, for girls like you, it could be. How old are you again?" Jane was confused. Why would he want to know her age? Shrugging, she pointed one finger, then eight.

"Eighteen? Whoa, you're ten years younger than me? Cool." Shane replied.

"Jane, Go ahead choose a chick that you want!" Marnie said. Nodding, Jane limped around the coop while looking around. So many chickens and they were all cute! She wanted EVERY single one, but due to her not having her credit card right now, having only 2000 Galleons in her wallet and having absolutely no experience in farm animals, she decided to go for two young chicks. Jane looked at Marnie and pointed at two relatively big yellow chicks.

"Those two? I see!" Marnie beamed as she picked them up. The chicks chirped as they looked around to see what was going on. Jane couldn't help but smile at how adorable they were when she stroked one of the chick's head and it reacted by squinting its eyes. "Cute?" The ranch owner asked and Jane nodded. "Are you sure you want these two?" She nodded again. "Great! One chicken is 800 Galleons, so… that would be 1600!" Jane smiled. She was more than ready to sacrifice anything to take care of animals.

Jane paid for her chicks and noted down everything that Marnie instructed on how to take good care of these avian balls of feather. With everything set, she ordered Shane to accompany the farmer back to her farm with the two chicks, which Jane named Sans and Papyrus, the two skeleton brothers of Undertale. The walk back to the farm with a man ten years older than her was silent and awkward. When they arrived at the farm coop, Shane simply lowered the chicks on the hay and gave the farmer a bag of seeds.

"It's what they eat. Take good care of them or I'll come beat you up, okay?" Shane asked. Jane nodded and the man was gone. A long pause followed and ended when Papyrus the chick chirped, making her smile as she voluntarily collapsed on the hay next to her chicks. She remembered how she used to play with her grandfather's chickens when she was a little child. Oh, the memories started to flood in as the chicks ran up to her and bumped their heads on her fleshy leg.

'Oh, 할아버지 (Grandpa), if you could see me now…' Jane thought. She pulled her phone out, took a selfie with her chicks and posted it in Facebook.

A few more days have passed and Sebastian's health didn't seem to improve. It was the 22nd of Summer and She really wanted to see how he was holding up, but Robin prevented her due to infection. Her plan seemed to be jeopardized. If he wouldn't recover in time, he might not be able to come for this Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, thus she won't have the chance to confess. She could only let fate decide what would happen to both of them. Her heart felt like it was about to explode just by thinking about him.

'How did Minsoo handle this?' she thought as she dropped grains of seeds on the mangers for Papyrus and Sans to eat. If her brother had been in multiple relationships, then he would have felt the same as Jane, but in an unbearable scale. She pushed the negativity out of her mind. Sebastian will recover in time. She knew it. All she needed to do was to stay diligent. When she finished all of her farm work for the day, she pulled her phone out and checked her Facebook. A lot of comments have been posted ever since she had posted her chicken selfie.

-Abigail Berneau: OMG SO CUTE

-Haley Laveri: Congrats chopstick leg

=Minsoo Park's reply: Why are you calling my sister chopstick leg?

=Haley Laveri's reply: Nobody asked you

=Minsoo Park's reply: I'm her brother.

-Jiwoo Bae: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ So adorable!

-Hyunsoo Kim: What are their names?

=Haneul Park's Reply: Papyrus and Sans!

=Hyunsoo Kim's reply: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Undertale ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Aside of the fight between her brother and Haley, Jane was happy about the positive feedback from her friends. She went back into her house to play some videogames and chat with Sebastian.

Today, 28th of Summer, was the day. It was the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies. Jane remembered to read the letter written by Demetrius that said that the event will take place at ten at night. She smiled and nodded. Fate had joined her side because Sebastian had finally recovered! In fact, she was with him right now, doing farm work together! They were just picking the last blueberry harvest of Summer. The air was significantly colder than during the middle. Jane was eager to show Sebastian her chicks, which grew significantly bigger than when she bought them from Marnie.

"Wow, they're cute. I guess." Sebastian said. Jane nodded in response as she picked up some seeds in the bag and dropped them in the manger.

They'll produce eggs! Jane signaled.

"I'm sure they will." The raven-haired boy replied, cradling Sans. "I still can't believe that you named your chickens Undertale characters." Jane giggled in response, making him blush relatively heavily. "Let's start class." Jane nodded, Sebastian put Sans down and walked into the farmhouse.

"…So that's how you say 'I think I can take care of your dog'?" Sebastian asked as he moved his hands around to repeat the sentence on the book into sign language. Jane nodded a she smiled with rosy cheeks. "Heh, looks like I got that correct." He smiled and gave Jane a high-five. The raven-haired boy's determination to learn what Jane uses to communicate made the farmer's heart melt. Her heart started to turn towards this boy ever since the Flower Festival. It first started as just coincidental heart skips, but as time passed and they spent more time together, the reality proved her that coincidence wasn't the word Jane was looking for. She had finally realized that she had fallen in love with him after her first marksmanship training session. For the first time, she felt lucky that she was mute; she would mess up her friendship with him if she poured out her heart through words at the wrong time.

Jane snapped back to reality when Sebastian spoke. "You know about today's Jellies, right?" She nodded. "Well… it's the day when Sam and Penny stick like glue, FYI." He sighed, looking up to the ceiling.

'I wonder if he's lonely… just like me.' Jane thought. The festival might be the best time to confess her feelings to this boy. She would watch the Jellies from a secluded place and confess…

No, maybe not. There could be an alternative.

Jane wanted to make the confession as romantic and moody as possible. She and Abigail had been watching a shelf worth of K-Dramas lately…

K-Dramas…? THAT'S IT!

Her very outfit reminded her of most of the confession scenes there that had no relations with cities. 'I could reenact one of them!' Jane thought to herself. She remembered the big tree in Cindersap forest. It could be the perfect place to confess!

Just as she was flooded with thoughts, Sebastian tapped on her shoulder.

"Jane, are you alright?" He asked. Blushing, she nodded. "Alright, then." He replied, looking back at his sign language book. After a few more minutes, he closed the book. "Well, I guess that does it for today's learning." Indeed, the clock struck 2: 30, the anticipated end of today's lecture. There were seven hours left until the event. Jane had to act quickly if she was to confess to Sebastian. Taking her phone, she started typing and showed the screen to her crush.

Can you wait until I take a bathroom break?

"I can wait for that." Sebastian replied. "If you need help, call me." Jane nodded as she managed to get up from her seat and limp her way into her room and eventually the bathroom.

'Stupid prosthetics!' Jane swore in her mind and shut the door. After locking the door, she immediately unlocked her phone and opened Facebook Messenger. Then, she searched for her Abigail's chat room and started typing.

-Haneul Park: Abby?

Abby?

Please respond…

A minute seemed to have passed until Jane received a response. Her heart fell.

-Abigail Berneau: What's up?

-Haneul Park: I'm pretty sure you know what's happening to me, right?

-Abigail Berneau: Is it your crush on Seb?

Oh boy, this would be the first time Jane would open her feelings to Abigail. Taking a deep breath, the farmer continued.

-Haneul Park: Yes

-Abigaill Berneau: What about it? I knew it for the long time XD

She knew?! That was awkward. Jane knew that should she answer Abigail's question, there will be a big chance that she will embarrass herself. However, during the days when she wasn't with Sebastian, she realized that she couldn't initiate her plan alone. Thus, taking a deep breath and knowing that there will be no turning back, Jane started typing.

-Haneul Park: I want to confess to him today.

A long pause followed. 'What have I done?' Jane thought to herself as she crashed down to the floor, covering her face with her hands.

*Ding!

Trembling, she looked at what Abigail sent her.

-Abigail Berneau: OMG

OMG

I'M SQUEALING RIGHT NOW!

I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!

-Haneul Park: you did?

-Abigail Berneau: Of course I did!

-Haneul Park: I feel so embarrassed

-Abigail Berneau: don't be!

You two are so cute together!

How can I help?

Should I sing for you?

-Haneul Park: NO

-Abigail Berneau: LOL

Then?

-Haneul Park: can you buy me a bouquet?

-Abigail Berneau: AWWW

Of course!

When should I give you?

-Haneul Park: i'll come over and get it.

Jane paused. After thinking, she continued.

-Haneul Park: 3:00

-Abigail Berneau: already bought it form my dad!

-Haneul Park: bought? Dad?

Just as Jane finished typing, a knock on the restroom door startled her.

"Jane? Are you okay in there?" Sebastian's voice called. Realizing that she had been hiding in the restroom for ten minutes, Jane picked up her pace and typed away.

-Haneul Park: I'm on my way. See you at the Store

-Abigail Berneau: Good luck, Jane! XD

Jane and Sebastian walked out of the gate of her farm and walked eastward towards Pelican Town. The farm girl was wearing a large purse for the bouquet that Abigail promised to give her. Although this seemed to have sparked curiosity in Sebastian's mind, he shrugged it off as he pulled out a pack of chewing gum and popped a wad of gum into his mouth. Jane remembered how she cried during that night when she found out that this boy coughed out blood due to his smoking habit. She was surprised and heart warmed that he decided to quit.

Did he do it just for her, though? If so, she would fall deeper into love with him.

When the duo reached Pierre's General Store, Sebastian received a text message. "Oh dear, looks like it's Sam again." He grunted once reading it.

You should be with him. Jane signed.

"Are you sure? I've just came back to you after the cold!"

I was invited by Abby here. Jane typed on her phone, since she couldn't say her name I sign language.

"Aw, I thought you liked to spend time with me or something… anyway, never mind. Have fun, Jane!" Sebastian waved as he walked to Sam's House. As the raven-haired boy was out of sight, Jane faced the wall and clenched her chest. How did he know that she enjoyed their hangouts? Her heart felt like bursting. She took a deep breath and opened the glass doors. Immediately, Abigail rushed out of her room and threw herself to the farmer.

"Jane, you have to come inside! You don't want Seb to overhear me helping you!" Abigail beamed, winking. Jane looked away, hiding her blush as she was dragged into the purple-haired girl's room.

Jane practically suffered by how much talking Abigail did. She talked about what she knew about Sebastian and how Sam managed to gather information about him while the farmer played Overwatch in her computer.

"I don't know how you don't know that Sebastian likes you back!" Abigail exclaimed. What?! Jane hid her character in a safe spot and turned around, giving her a funny look. "You didn't know? Sam confronted Seb last week and you know what he said? He likes you back! He wanted to confess during the Luau but he messed up!" Jane was flabbergasted. So the hangout under the umbrella was supposed to be the day! She sighed about the unfortunate event. "...and I don't understand how in Yoba's name you two aren't together!" Hearing this, Jane's cheeks started heating up. She wondered why, too. "Aww, you're so cute when you turn into a tomato! Anyway, I don't want to interrupt you in your kill streak, but have you ever been in a relationship?" Jane shook her head. During her life as a mute girl, everybody hated her except for her friends. "What?! How did you even live your school days, girl?!" Abigail asked in disbelief. Jane turned back to Overwatch and switched her hero from Sombra to Ana. She continued playing until she won the match. With that out of the way, she picked up her phone and started typing.

I'm scared.

"Why?"

I don't want to ruin my friendship with him. Seeing this, Abigail gave a sigh of disappointment.

"Jane, did you even listen to what I've just said? He likes you too! There's NO WAY he'll reject you! It'll be like a dream for you two!" Just as Abigail finished talking, the clock struck five.

Five hours left until the Dance. At the same time, Jane received a text message from Sebastian.

-Sebastian Callahan: hey

-Haneul Park: hiiii

What's up?

-Sebastian Callahan: i'm fine

If Sam stops bothering me

-Haneul Park: lol

-Sebastian Callahan: Should I go pick you up?

Jane dipped herself in thought. To initiate her plan properly, she will need Sebastian to meet her at the Cindersap tree. She continued typing.

-Haneul Park: It's ok

Can you meet me that the forest?

-Sebastian Callahan: ?

-Haneul Park: the big tree?

I want to talk about something.

-Sebastian Callahan: tree…?

OH

THAT tree

Ok sure

Be there soon

"It's Seb, is it?" Abigail asked when Jane locked her phone after a conversation with Sebastian. Jane nodded, but hid her ruddy face with her hands. "Aww, Jane! I told you, Sam confirmed that he might feel the same! Best of all, tonight's the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies! It's the perfect time to confess!"

But what if I fail? Jane typed.

"Oh, Jane! We talked about this just thirty minutes ago! Where do you plan to confess?" Trembling by Abigail's question, Jane typed her answer.

The big tree

"Tree? What do you mean...?" Just as Jane was about to type her answer, the purple-haired girl clapped her hands in realization. "Oh my god! That tree in the forest?!" Jane nodded. Soon enough, Abigail threw herself to Jane and squealed in delight. "YOU'RE SO ROMANTIC!" She screamed. Jane buried her face in Abigail's shoulder while blushing even heavier. "You know, Seb's going to be the luckiest boy in the world with you around!" Abigail said once releasing Jane. She handed the mute farmer the bouquet. "Take it! You asked for it! Go get 'em, girl!" With that, Abigail playfully pushed the farmer out of the General Store. With a sigh, Jane leaned on the notifications' board and thought. Today will be the day when the friendship she had forged between Sebastian and her will be changed. Should her confession be accepted, she will form a new and stronger bond with him and perhaps last together eternally. It was the path that she yearned for ever since the beginning of her puberty, but failed to accomplish. In other words, they will enter in an unbreakable relationship. Should it fail, their friendship will be shattered.

'No, Jane. I can do this. You can do this. He likes me, too.' Jane took a deep breath and walked west towards Cindersap forest. The time was coming near.

Jane waited and waited under the big tree on the forest for her crush to appear. It was already five in the afternoon and the sun was almost closing in at the mountains. She thought of all the scenarios that might unfold in just a few minutes. She could be embracing Sebastian under the tree with joy engulfing her... Or left crying under the tree with suicidal thoughts with him walking away from her. Oh, how she wanted to push the negative thoughts away. Her heart raced as time passed. In fact, it raced so fast that Jane felt like it was a ticking bomb.

Over Marnie's Ranch, Jane noticed a familiar figure walking towards the tree she was standing under.

Sebastian.

Jane's heart skipped a beat. When his focus turned to her, he jogged to the tree. He stopped a meter away from her while gasping for breath. "I'm here. Sorry for the wait." He said.

It's okay. Jane signed.

"Kind of a strange place to wanting to have a conversation, to be honest." Jane simply shrugged. Sebastian wasn't an outside person, anyway. She didn't care deep in her heart, however.

Thanks for coming here for me.

"You're welcome." Sebastian replied, slightly blushing. She didn't know why, but his smile made Jane's heart melt. After an awkward pause together, Sebastian started the conversation. He first talked about some new video game articles that he had found on the Internet that intrigued him. Of course, it also intrigued Jane, not just because she loved videogames much as him, but also because she wanted to be with him. After that, the conversation shifted to some funny stories that Jane and Sebastian told each other. They shared laughter which eased Jane's tension, but it returned whenever she saw his face. Finally, when silence returned, Sebastian started something that she was waiting for.

"Jane, I... I don't know how I should say this... But... I want to thank you." Sebastian said, his face starting to heat up even more. "I used to be ignored by everybody in this town. The mayor, Sam, Abigail... Even my family... They never understood how I wanted to be different. But then... There's you. You understood that I wanted to stand out from the normal and simply accepted who I am. This..." He sniffed. "This is the first time I've received such treatment other than my real dad." Jane stared at him while slightly opening her mouth. She never knew that he was facing such torture. The fact that he basically stated that she was his savior... It made her heart race even faster for him. "What did you call me here for, though?" Jane felt heavy machine guns in her stomach. This was it. She will now be reaching the Point of No Return. She was so nervous, but with Sebastian staring right at her face, it didn't help at all. Mustering what was left of her courage, Jane began giving signs to him. First pointing at herself, second tapping at her head, third pointed back at her then finally, the cherry of the cake, the rock-and-roll symbol.

I think I love you.

"Hmm? You think you... What? You think you like heavy metal?" Sebastian asked. Jane felt agitated by how he didn't understand. In the other hand, however, she was relieved that she received more time. "Hang on. Let me search what it means." Sebastian added as he reached for his book from his backpack. Uh-oh. Jane quickly reached for the book but she was too short for the raven-haired boy. She futilely attempted to snatch the book away as Sebastian flipped through the pages until he stopped.

"Hey, I think I found it! Apparently, it's not a rock-and-roll symbol! It means... Oh... Oh..." He dropped the book.

'It's over.' Jane thought as tears rolled from her eyes. Was this the end of their friendship? Her world crashed down around her as Sebastian looked away from her while hiding his blush. He would walk away soon. She closed her eyes, oozing more tears to await her imminent demise. However, she felt something touch her.

"Jane?" She heard Sebastian say. She sealed her eyes tighter as she revealed the bouquet hidden from her dress and thrust it to his direction. "Please, look at me." Jane shook her head. "Come on. Please. I want to say something." She felt heat surround her once again as she slowly opened her eyes to find the raven-haired boy right on chest.

"You know, ever since the Flower Festival, I felt something grow inside of me. It... It... I don't know how to explain it, but... It was warm. It fueled my determination to do anything. I felt like I wanted to do something more. But... Whenever you were around, it felt... Stronger. It was like I could take on the world.

"As time passed, I realized that all of this was because of you, Jane. I started to feel more lonely whenever I left your farm. Now... Now... Jesus, this is hard, you know? Damn... You're all I think of and..." Sebastian gently placed his one hand on Jane's waist and the other hand stroked her tear-stained cheek. "...You're all I think about. I can't concentrate in my work and even in my everyday life. God, you drive me up the wall." With every word expelled from his mouth, Jane felt fear. Anxiety. Joy. Her heart gave a jolt as if it restarted. "In other words..." He slowly leaned towards her face and placed his lips gently into hers, but released soon. "...I didn't know you felt the same." With the small kiss that he gave her, Jane couldn't help but turn into a tomato. All of her fear was now gone. It was a dream, was it? She hoped not. She saw tears roll down Sebastian's cheeks, too as leaves started falling from the tree above them.

"Jane, I used to want to get out of Pelican Town. But with you here, I don't want to. I want to stay. With you around, the Valley feels like home. I want you to be my sky, Haneul. I..." That was enough. All of this was enough to Jane as she threw herself to him and buried her soaked face on his shoulder blade. She felt a smile form on Sebastian's face, making her the happiest girl in Stardew Valley. Jane temporarily retracted her head and planted the deepest yet the most passionate kiss full onto Sebastian's lips as the leaves fell just for them like the nature's confetti. She didn't want to let go.

Jane held her now lover tightly as she started sobbing. Tears of hot joy dribbled down her cheeks, soaking Sebastian's shirt. Her dreams are now reality. The one who she truly wanted and cared about was now holding her in his arms. "Jane, you're crying." Sebastian said. Jane simply nodded as she tried her best to prevent more tears from escaping her eyes. Just as the raven-haired boy held her chin up to wipe her tears, Jane's crying face slowly replaced itself with a bright smile. She gave a quick peck on his lips. She had been so stupid for doubting their relationship, which induced a giggle. Her giggles were contagious, as Sebastian started laughing along.

"I love you, Jane. How do I say this… 사랑...해. Yeah." He said. Jane nodded and buried her face on his chest.

An eternity seemed to have passed when Jane and Sebastian released themselves. The sun was now nowhere to be found and the sky was golden.

I don't know how I'll forget this day. Jane signed.

"We won't."Sebastian replied, looking at the sky. "It's getting dark. Should we go inside?" Jane nodded.

Let's eat at my house!

"Sounds good." The raven-haired boy replied as he held Jane's hand tightly and walked to Agria Farm.

The new couple's contact session didn't seem to end there. It was now 9:30 PM and thirty minutes until the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies. Jane was watching Sebastian play StarCraft on her computer on the bed. She didn't know how to get her eyes and heart off from him. When the clock struck the mentioned time, Sebastian helped Jane on his motorcycle and sped to the beach.

The air of the beach was fresh and salty. The constellations illuminated the skies and the sounds of crashing waves sang the Song of the Seas. The only artificial lights were small dim lanterns that fought the darkness of the night. The townspeople were gathering around on the dock either talking to each other, walking around or staring at the dark abyss eager to see the jellyfish. All the attention shifted to the Sebastian-Jane couple when they arrived with one of their hands wrapped around each other.

"Could they be… together?" Jodi asked.

"Wow, looks like Pelican Town will have another couple." Marnie replied.

"Wonder what Jane's family will think when they come tomorrow." Caroline mumbled as the couple set foot on the woody docks. The two walked to where Sam, Abigail and Penny were standing. Penny noticed Jane first greeted them, but her attention immediately turned to their wrapped hands.

"Are you two...together?" Penny gasped. Abigail and Sam turned around to see what was going on. When Jane nodded, Abigail started to hop around and squeal.

"OH MY GOD! CONGRATULATIONS! I KNEW YOU TWO COULD DO IT!" The purple-haired girl shouted.

"Abby, you'll break the wood!" Sam warned. "Anyway, I knew you could do it, bro!"

"Go to hell." Sebastian flipped him off. "Well, looks like we now have only one single in our gang to make fun of." He added, staring at Abigail.

"What?!" Abigail exclaimed. Jane burst into laughter as she rubbed her cheek on her now-boyfriend's arm.

"Mom told me that your family's coming tomorrow." Sam said to the farmer. She nodded in response.

"How should we introduce ourselves?" Penny added.

"Is your brother strong?" Abigail butted in.

"Abby, why do you care so much about her brother?" The purple-haired turned away by Sebastian's question. Jane looked at Penny and began moving her hands around. Penny stared, processed, and nodded at every move. She turned to her friends.

"She said that her parents will stay here for a month and help her on the farm, be with the community. Her brother will try to be friends with us and… uh… train his cooking skills."

"Cooking? Ooh! I'll definitely taste his food… oh wait. Damnit…" Abigail facepalmed once she realized what she had said.

"Yup, she's into him." Sam whispered into Sebastian's ear. He nodded in response. Just then, Vincent ran up to the gang, jolly as ever.

"Miss Penny! Mayor Lewis released the boat! The Jellies are here!" He chirped. Jane looked at the water to find the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. One by one, shining jellyfish swam closer to the dock, dancing the Dance of their Kind as they welcomed the townspeople with warming radiance. Among some of the jellyfish were accompanied by tiny juvenile Jellies that glimmered by their parents' light. Sebastian helped Jane sit on the dock's edge and sat next to her, arm wrapped around her shoulder.

This was what Jane remembered as a child, when she skipped around in joy, tugging on her grandfather's pants and stared at the Jellies with Abigail and Sam. Now, here she is again, in the arms of the boy that she loved, taking selfies and recording the jellyfish's activity. It was so pretty, yet tiring to watch such beauty. Jane lowered her head on Sebastian's shoulders until she saw something. It was a jelly, but it looked different. It was flat and radiated green as if it was a bouncy glob of emerald.

"Wow, that's the rare one." Sebastian commented. Immediately, Jane took a picture of it. "You're one lucky girl, Jane." She giggled. "...and I'm lucky to have you." Sebastian added, making Jane heartwarmingly whine and bury her face on his shoulder blades.

It was midnight when the Jellies swam south towards the Gem Sea to venture the great unknown of the Mediterranean Sea. The townspeople left the beach one by one, and Jane was no exception. After bidding their friends goodbye, the couple sped back to Agria Farm with warmth wrapped around the two.

"So, they're coming tomorrow, huh? Your parents, I mean." Sebastian asked.

I can't wait! Jane signed.

"Well, I hope they'll understand that we're together." Sebastian added. "I mean, you told me that Minsoo's a bit overprotective, so… I'm scared." He chuckled.

He'll like you as a friend. You'll be amazed by his food. And with Jane's signs, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in for a tender kiss. She didn't want to let go, but knowing that they'll meet again tomorrow, she released her lips and let go.

"See you tomorrow, Jane. Wanna go on a date?" Jane vigorously nodded by Sebastian's suggestion. "Oh, and happy nineteenth birthday." He added as he pecked her lips and drove off up the mountain. Giving a sigh of contentment and clenching her chest, Jane limped back to her house, washed up and prepared for bed. After having a hearty chat with her now boyfriend, she made one final adjustment in her Facebook before falling into sweet undisturbed slumber.

Haneul Park and Sebastian Callahan are now in a relationship.
