RING

KGE set her eyes on her grandma's name on the headstone. KGE smiled sweetly as she spoke to Grandma Kim in her mind again,

You're right, Halmeoni.
It's Kim Tan...the legend.
It's Lee Min Ho...the myth.

KGE sighed.
The two names with the word 'legend' and 'myth' felt so heavy for her.
She was happy that she could share the names and their titles with her grandma. The weight on her shoulders felt a little lighter now, and there was a relief in her heart too.

He was the one who cheered me up when I was so worried about you...
He called me one day when you were so ill only to listen to me crying...
That was the day I thought he was special...
And somehow, he was connected with you in a way...
Do you think it's unreal, Halmeoni?
I always think I am only dreaming...
But I don't want to ever wake up from it.

KGE smiled as she recalled the memory of LMH's call. The very one special unexpected call that saved her day. LMH healed her heart without trying. He was just meant to be there to listen and comforted her.

I so wish you two had met before the day God asked you to come home...
But God has the best plan...
Doesn't He, Halmeoni?
You never had a chance to meet him...
But he is here...with me...
On this particular day of the year.

KGE peeked a glance at LMH, who was talking to KB. He looked so handsome and dreamy in her eyes even from this far. She blew her breath; it was cold but not in her heart. The warmth from her grandma's spirit and the sight of the man she loved warmed her body.

He comes with me today to greet you.
I hope you can tell me what you think of him...
I believe you would like him...
He is the sweetest man I have ever met.
And Halmeoni...

KGE covered her mouth as she giggled shyly.

I am in love with him...
I fall in love with the myth...
And it's magical...it's unreal...
But the myth has become my reality...
Fortunately...
Aren't you happy for me, Halmeoni?
Do you think he loves me, too?

KGE closed her eyes as she tried to feel the closeness to her grandma's spirit. The warmth filled KGE's heart when she seemed to hear her grandmother's soft and gentle voice in her ears. The spirit questioned her, and KGE smiled as she answered,

Ye Halmeoni...
I love him; I'm deeply in love with him.
I want to be with him all the time.
I want to be a part of him all my life.
I need to live with him for as long as we both shall live.
Together, through good and bad, against all odds.

The inner warmth shielded her body when the breeze was chill and cold as it brushed her cheeks. KGE always forgot the time whenever she was visiting her grandmother's grave. She felt so safe around her grandma's eternal home.

Don't you think I am ready for it, my dearest Halmeoni?
That I am ready to love and beloved tirelessly...
I wish I could show you how much I am happy...

KGE gazed at the mound that was covered by snow. She thought she heard her grandma questioning her about how LMH made her feel and why. She giggled without a sound at the question, but she was sure about the answers.

He makes me happy,
He makes me feel pretty,
He makes me feel alive and lively,
He makes me smile and laugh a lot,
He makes me want to love him more.
It's all because he loves me for being me.
He brings out the best of me...
I love the way he loves me...
Halmeoni...
Loving him is the best thing that ever happens to me.
Shall I say the vow to live and love with him one day,
I would love to share my heart and soul under God's will.
If there was a man, I want to be in love with within the afterlife...
It would be him also.
