After that day, Cristina heard many rumors of Owen. Some said other girls asked Owen out, and he said no. Other said he wasn't dating neither Cheryl nor Linda. Cristina also heard that his new girlfriend was from another high school.

Seemingly, a lot of dramas were going on, but her circumstance was as monotonous as how it had been. Every time they saw each other at school, they just said hi. When he found her but he couldn't talk to her because his friends were around, he smiled at her.

Occasionally, they talked in the library, but usually it didn't last long because his friends called him to take him out like the other day. Therefore, probably they were not even friends, they couldn't make the distance shorten.

Spring had came, that meant the Prom day was coming up. Cristina wished she could have seen him in dress. She didn't even dreamed to be his date, but one sight of him…that was all she wanted. She couldn't stop thinking how handsome he would be.

One day, she eventually found out his date. Sometimes Cristina saw him holding his new girlfriend's hand when they were walking together. Cristina though the girl was very pretty…she had short brunette hair, big eyes, smiley face and was good at swimming.

She was also a senior, but was not friend of Cheryl nor Linda. Somebody was talking Owen had a plan to take her to the beach after they graduate from high school. Cristina was not even jealous- she couldn't see she had any element which was better than the girl.

Finally, Cristina received the letter of acceptance of the eminent university, which had a pre-med course. That was what she desperately had hoped, then she was supposed to be happy, despite of it, it made her sad, actually.

She had to accepted that she couldn't stay high school anymore, and it meant she had to be separate from Owen. She didn't even have a chance to know what Owen was going to do after graduating from high school.

She knew he was good at sports, then she thought he might get a scholarship to go to college, or he was also smart, then he might have a specific field he wanted to keep learning or he might not go to any school to start working…she had no idea.

After all, her high school life finished, without seeing him go to prom nor knowing what he would do after graduating from high school. The last time they talked was when they exchanged their senior pictures- which was very instant.

Twenty years later, Cristina Yang was working at Seattle Grace Hospital, as a cardiothroracic surgeon. Her dream came true, she really became a doctor. She was a very hard worker, and was said that she was one of the best surgeons in the world.

What happened twenty years ago became her bitter-sweet memory of youth. She could hardly remembered it. She changed alot, for example, her communication skill was improved. She got a best friend, Meredith Grey, they were more like sisters.

She also had some experiences of being in love, as she had dreamed. However, she was not confident of loving someone, still. She had a relationship with a surgeon, named Preston Burke.

Once she was pregnant by him, but it resulted in miscarriage. They were going to get married, but he left her on their wedding day. Her work was tremendous, but her private life was not.

She never regarded her work as the first priority, however, she always reckoned as a career focused woman. She often felt that building a good relationship with someone was much harder than working as a doctor.

She was already in her late thirties, then she knew she needed to think about settling down. She slightly awared that getting a happy marriage might be impossible for her. The harder she worked, the less reason she found what she worked for.

One night, she was leaving from hospital. It was chilly night, there were some icicles on the entrance. Cristina was going to pass there, but accidentally she slipped…then one of the icicles fell down and pricked her body.

She couldn't move…her breath was getting so hard that she couldn't speak. She felt her body was getting colder…Am I dying…? Her consciousness was going further.

When she almost lost her mind, somebody held her like a princess to bring her into hospital. She was not sure what was going on. She could hear people talking and taking care of her.

When she was awake, there was one stranger guy in the army uniform, standing by the bed. She looked at him. "You…helped me?" "Yes, we took care of it, the wound might hurt for some days, but don't worry, it will be cured." Then he lowered a blind.

"Oh thank you." When she looked at him again, he put his lips on hers all at once, then started kissing her. She was not conscious of what was happening…After a long moment, he stopped kissing.

"I don't know you…" That was all she could say. Then what he said to her was totally unexpected for her. "Yes you do. I'm Owen Hunt. "
