Epilogue

One Year Later

It was perfect weather for a wedding: early in spring when the sun was shining but wasn't so overwhelming that you couldn't stand being outside; the flowers were blooming and new greenery seemed to sprout from the earth each time you turned around.

All the guest had taken their seats, and everything was ready for the ceremony to begin.

Dressed in a pink and white hanbok and looking like an adorable spring fairy, Wang Seol walked the length of the aisle, throwing flowers and petals just so and smiling as a string quartet played Vivaldi's Autumn. Once she reached the end of the aisle, Seol quickly stepped aside, and ran over to where her father was standing.

Awkwardly, Wang So leaned down and easily lifted Seol with his free arm, settling her on his hip. He made it look effortless but only because he had done this very same maneuver countless times in the last few months. It took a lot of practice but he was able to pull it off without disturbing the sleeping baby on his other arm. Wang Hee Yeon (named after Soo's beloved mother figures, Hae Myung Hee and Oh Soo Yeon) went on sleeping through it all, contentedly drooling on the shoulder of her father's expensive suit.

Once settled, So turned to watch the Park Soon Deok escorting the smiling groom, taking their position to the left of the aisle. Behind them was the bride, escorted by Hae Soo.

"Halmeoni looks pretty," Seol whispered. "Umma too."

"They sure do," So whispered back, turning his face just enough to kiss Seol's temple as Oh Soo Yeon and Hae Soo reached the front of the aisle and took their positions on the left.

Once everyone sat down again...

"This is the strangest wedding I've been too," Wang Yo murmured to So's left.

"Don't tell me, Soo and Soon Deok planned the whole thing," So murmured back, earning himself a sharp look from Soo who was just within hearing range.

The wedding of Park So Kyung and Oh Soo Yeon turned out to be a bigger affair than either bride or groom had intended or anticipated, but their daughters had been determined to make it special. Which was how they ended up with this hybrid ceremony – kinda Korean, kinda western, and strange, as Yo said. But so far, it was lovely.

Wang Mu was acting as MC – as he had known Park So Kyung the longest out of the Wang Brothers, it had seemed fitting – and conducting the ceremony efficiently.

When Oh Soo Yeon had proposed to Park So Kyung six months ago, she had never imagined this wedding party would come to pass. She was well past fifty, and too old for all this pomp and circumstance; not to mention that her groom had already been married once.

But Hae Soo and Park Soon Deok had joined forces and there had been no stopping them. She had complained all throughout the process… but on this sunny day, she had to admit she was very glad.

"Would you dance with me?" Park So Kyung asked a bit shyly next to her.

"Of course," She smiled, giving her leg a little shake.

Last year, she had gone through surgery to remove some of the scar tissue from her long-ago accident which was causing her problems moving her knee. Park So Kyung had been with her every step of the way, taking care of her in the hospital, driving her to her rehabilitation sessions and helping her with the exercises when Soo couldn't do it (which was most of the time since by then Hae Soo had been seven months pregnant; Soo had a huge belly and was prone to crying lags).

It had been after one of those rehabilitation sessions, when exhaustion and a bit of frustration had made her a bit waspish during the ride home that Oh Soo Yeon realized that Park So Kyung never waved or flinched in his care for her. Even when she knew she was not the easiest of patients.

He was always kind, always gentle, and always by her side. She had mulled it over as she made her way toward her bed, using her crutches, and he ran around getting things ready for her to settle down – fluffing pillows, opening the drapes, making sure the remote control and a glass of water was within easy access of the bed.

"Do you need anything else?" He asked kindly, not once looking at his watch, though Soo Yeon knew he was probably late for work.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you something," She said, before she could think it over and talk herself out of it.

"What do you need?" He asked, gingerly sitting on the edge of her bed.

"That you marry me?"

Park So Kyung had been shocked and speechless for three seconds, but the beautiful smile that broke over his face was worth the wait for his answer...which had led them to this moment as they walked slowly to were other couples were dancing.

Slowly because, even though she could now walk without her cane, he was still so careful with her. After leaving Wang Geon, Oh Soo Yeon had never thought she would ever fall in love again, and not with a man like Park So Kyung...who was nothing at all like her first love… and wasn't that the best thing about him?

"This cake is amazing," Soon Deok exclaimed, happily wiggling in her seat while next to her Wang Eun pouted. "I don't know where Soo found this confectioner, but I'm his biggest fan."

"Yah! Park Soon Deok! Don't say things like that in front of your boyfriend!" Wang Jung admonished.

"Eun-ah knows I love him," Soon Deok said, sticking her tongue out at Jung and turning in her seat to face her boyfriend… only to encounter the most disconcerting combination of a pout and a frown on his face. "Yah! You look just like Seol-ie when Soo tells her she can't have more sweets," Soon Deok laughed.

"It's the face we Wangs make when we want something we can't have," Eun said somberly.

"But you can have more sweets! I'll bring you a slice of cake if you want! I was just about to go any-" Soon Deok trailed off, as Eun's expression grew frownier.

Jung smacked his forehead with his palm before saying "It's not about the cake!" Shaking his head like she was something really quite hopeless, Jung decided to leave the table altogether.

"What got into him?" Soon Deok looked as Jung walked away.

"Yah! Soon Deok!" Wang Eun said impatiently. "When are we going to get married?"

"What?"

"We have been dating for over a year! And everyone is getting married but us! When we were the ones officially dating first! Even Kang Mun Seong let Yo-hyung marry her and you-"

"Well, technically they were dating before us. And the timeline with Soo-unnie and So-oppa is a bit dicey-"

"They broke up! So you have to start the count again, everyone knows that!"

Soon Deok shrugged "I don't know. I've never broken up with anyone since I've only ever dated you, and we are never breaking up."

"Don't say cute things to me like that!" Eun said, his frown starting to fade.

"I wasn't being cute," Soon Deok said, licking some icing from her spoon. And that really was too much for Eun, who leaned over and kissed her.

"You are always cute to me," Eun said, resting his forehead against hers as they came up for air.

Soon Deok rolled her eyes at his corniness but giggled at his sweetness and relented. "Fine! You can ask Appa for permission to marry me once he comes back from his wedding trip, okay?"

"Really?"

Soon Deok gave him a quick peck. "Really."

"Don't you wish we had had a big wedding like this?" Yo asked Mun Seong.

"Not really," She said, leaning into his shoulder as they danced. "Eloping with you was fun and efficient. And it made our parents angry, so it was a win-win."

"I honestly think my mother thought I would let her plan the society wedding of her dreams," Yo commented, pulling her a bit closer.

"Mine too," She smiled, snuggling in and blinking sleepily. Something about the heat made her so sleepy lately; she was glad he was such a good dancer that he could lead her comfortably. "Good thing they aren't talking to us again."

"Yeah," Yo smiled. Their parents hadn't taken it well when they had moved out of Seoul three months ago.

Mun Seong had been contracted to be a featured photographer for all the publicity promoting PyeongChang before the Winter Olympics. If they liked her work, there was a good chance she would be named one of the official photographers for the games, which was very exciting for her career.

Yo had followed her there and set up an office in one of the Taejo Group's subsidiaries in PyeongChang and aside from his work as CFO, he was also supervising the various contracts their company had with the city of PyeongChang and the Olympic committee.

And they were happy living there by themselves, slowing down and just enjoying this new stage of their lives together.

Kim Woo Hee couldn't help smiling as she saw how Baek Ah goofed around with their daughter, holding the baby in the crook of his arm and swaying her in time with the music playing.

She hated to admit it, but the man was the only one capable of quieting down their often-mercurial daughter – who could go from smiling angel to screaming banshee in just a few minutes and without warning – but she was a daddy's girl through and through.

"See, all ready for her nap!" Baek Ah whispered triumphantly; he never once stopping his swaying.

"I still don't know how you do that."

"It's easy: all women love me," He grinned, dancing closer to her. "Even you."

"Yah! Don't get too full of yourself," She complained but accepted the kiss he planted on her temple.

"Baek Ah!" his cousin Wang Won yelled, running toward him only to earn himself very fierce glares from the couple. "What?!"

"If you wake up my daughter, I'll tell So-hyung you dropped Hee Yeon!"

Won scoffed. "I'm not even allowed to pick up the baby: who would believe it?"

Baek Ah rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"

"Say, do you know that girl with the clipboard?" Won pointed.

"That's impolite. And yes, she's Miss Chae, Madame Oh's second secretary. Hae Soo asked her to coordinate the event today; why?"

"Do you think you could introduce me? She's cute. And she's the only one in this party who isn't taken nor can she put me in a headlock or bench press me."

"Even Woo Hee bench presses more than you," Baek Ah snorted. But he did notice that most of the female guests had the build of athletes and were probably part of the dojang and friends with Soon Deok.

"Fine. Just don't say anything stupid, okay? You always put your foot in your mouth," Baek Ah said, passing his sleeping baby to her mother.

"Yah! Wang Baek Ah, is that the way to speak to me?! I am older than you!"

"Do you want me to do this or not?"

Won quickly looked around, noticing that all his cousins were with their girlfriends or wives. Even Jung was chatting up some girl from the dojang he hadn't seen in a while. "Okay, fine."

"I think the party was a success," Wang So said later that day as he drove home, every so often checking in the rearview mirror to see that his daughters were safely strapped into their car seats.

"Yeah, I'm glad I was able to plan this for Madame Oh," Soo sighed happily, having kicked off her heels and wiggling her feet. "She looked so happy today."

"So did Master Park," So agreed. "Life is funny, isn't it? They have both known my father for years, but never met until Seol-ie and you came back to Seoul."

"Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to," Soo quoted a poem she had heard somewhere.

So reached for her hand, bringing it up to his lips as he nodded. The more he accepted that, the happier he was. "The girls are pretty worn out, aren't they?"

Soo turned in her seat as much as she could since So hadn't let go for her hand. "Yes. I don't think they'll wake up until it's time for dinner."

"Then what do you say if we go home, turn on the hot tub and soak in it for a bit, maybe have a little fun?" He added, wiggling his eyebrows and making Soo laugh.

"It sounds lovely," She sighed, "but I have to study...my exams are coming soon, you know?"

"C'mon Hae Soo! Live a little… you know you want to."

"I do but-"

"I'll rub your feet and quiz you later if you want."

"Really?"

"Really."

"And take care of dinner?"

"Sure."

"Deal!" Soo said, leaning over the gear-shift to kiss So noisily, giggling the whole time.

Author's note:

Thanks for reading till the end!

Also, the next project is officially called Somewhere in Time and it's a do over type of story, I hope you guys can read it when it comes out.

Here is a tid bit:
Ha Jin was sure, so sure, this had all happened before, but she also remembers Seoul and waking up from a comma she had yet to fall into. Time was a confusing, messy loop that left her stranded somewhere in the Goryeo period, where the first king Taejo was still ruling.

Thanks again!
