The next morning, someone knock at the hotel room. Allen stand up and went to see who will it be, while Shine stand behind him. He look at the tiny hole at the door and see Mom and Dad standing in front of the door. Allen immediately unlock the door and Shine's parents barge in the moment the door opens. Mom and Dad instantly hugged Shine but Mom hugged her longer.

"Shine!" Mom said, relieved to have touched her daughter again.

"Mom!"Shine said as she buried herself in Mom's arm. They haven't seen each other for only a few hours but Mom and Shine act like they haven't seen each other for decades.

"How are you?" Mom asked as she cupped Shine's face.

"I am okay... I guess?" Shine answer, unsure of herself and she hugged Mom again.

Mom embrace Shine too. She then hold Shine's hand as they all sit in the couch at the living area of their suite.

"Where is Min?"Shine urgently asked her parents as they sit.

Mom and Shine sit on the large couch in the center while Dad and Allen settle in the single chairs at both sides.

"He is in school" Dad answer her once he take his seat.

"How is Min taking this?" Shine asked them again.

"He is taking it surprisingly well" Dad frown as he answer.

"We told him that you will be gone for a long time and he only said okay" Mom said more and squeeze in Shine's hand.

"That's good, right? I mean at least he is not thinking about this stressful situation we are all in" Shine said as she tried to be optimistic. She then loudly sigh.

"Yes dear!" Dad short reply.

Dad was never used to showing that he is an affectionate father, until today. He showed how worried he really is for Shine's safety in that moment.

Dad went to sit beside Shine and he wrap his arm around her.

" I promise, that me and your Mom will never let anything bad to happen to you and to Min" Dad promise and he planted a soft kiss in Shine's head. 

Dad's warmth makes Shine want to cry but she hold it in. Shine tightly hold her farther's arms instead. 

"We will do everything to protect both you and Min" Mom said as she also embraces Shine from the side.

Shine can't stop herself from crying anymore. Her tears starts to fall from her eyes. Their embraced is an assurance to Shine, assurance that as long as they are present, she will be okay.

"Count me in too, Shine" Allen said looking at them with sympathy in his eyes.

"Thank you" Shine mouthed the words to Allen, as her face is already wet from her tears.
....

Shine's parent and Allen are not wasting anytime. That day, they totally transform Shine to a different person— Hana Kim.

"It all make sense now! All the martial arts lessons. Learning different languages, are all just preparations for this moment" Shine said in her mind as she looked at herself in front of a large, full body mirror. She knows that she is looking at herself but she feels that a very different lady is standing in front of her. 

She has a long and straight hair with a full bangs in a color that's only a tone away from being white. She's wearing a very natural make-up but her lips is very red and matte. She finally didn't wear her big, framed eyeglasses. Her dress is a black long sleeves mini dress with a very thin gold belt. Her five inches, red shoes with a black heels are the perfect match for her dress. Her earrings and necklace has a floral design that's done delicately and artistically. The bracelet Yuzuru gave her is hanging in her wrist, it doesn't matched her outfit but Shine insisted on wearing the bracelet.

"Wow!" Allen said in awe as his jaw dropped upon seeing Shine. He walk towards her. But Shine didn't notice Allen until she find herself suddenly standing next to him. 

"Hana Kim is wow!" Allen repeat himself as he is astounded at Shine's image.

Shine also can't believe that the lady in the mirror is really her reflection.

"No glasses really suites you" Allen compliments more.

 Shine didn't know if she's supposed to be happy or not, because she knew it will be the beginning of her new life. Shine slightly smile.

Then, Allen turn Shine to face him.

"Remember that you are no longer Shine. Shine is your past, you are Hana Kim now. She is a very confident, beautiful woman and don't get intimidated easily" Allen reminded Shine.

Shine nodded and turn to face herself in the mirror again.

"Hana Kim ROCK!" Shine's inner self said with full admiration in her model-like appearance.

Shine turn and walk towards her parents —leaving Allen, as they suddenly appear in the room with two Asian looking people behind them. 

Allen follow Shine.

"These are Hyeon Kim and Yuna Shin, they will be your parents for now, Shine" Dad introduced them to Shine as he informed her.

"You are going to stay with them until everything is over" Mom added while she put her hand to Shine's shoulder.

Shine confusedly looked at her Mom as it's not their initial plan. Mom understand the look at Shine's eyes —it's demanding for more details.

"They are agents too. You don't have to worry because they will protect you" Mom explain.

Shine extend her hand forward to them and shake it.

"I am Hyeon, rest assured that you'll be safe with us" Hyeon said while he shake her hand. Hyeon is like the Korean actor Ji Jin Hee —very manly and handsome despite of his age.

"And I am Yuna! Your parents help Hyeon and me a lot. So, it's about time that we help them back" Yuna said as she shake Shine's hand too and smile. Yuna is very elegant, very poised... very lady-like forty something woman. It's really hard to imagine that she can kick some guys butt.

Yuna felt Shine's nervousness and decided to lighten it up.

"A day out in spa; shop 'til we drop and many more girl stuff will be our lives. We will have so much fun together, I promise" Yuna jolly added as she smile warmly to Shine.

Shine force herself a smile. Mom patted Shine's back. With Shine's look, Dad can tell that she wants to asked about Allen.

"Don't worry! Allen will still be with you too. But you're not going to live with him anymore because you didn't want to" Dad answer Shine's unspoken question.

"I apparently know Hyeon and Yuna, though not in a personal level. I attended their lectures a couple of times since they are a famous neurologist and neurosurgeon. Well, that will be our story" Allen explain as he interject.

Shine let out a sigh and nodded to them.
......

In Shine's suite, Allen explain the event that will happen later.  After a week of preparation, Shine's remain will finally be buried...she will be officially vanished from the surface of the earth.

"These will keep you updated on what are the happenings to your burial" Allen explain while handing Shine a tablet and putting an earpiece in her ears.

"This is a camera here, so you can see us" Allen said pointing on his eye glasses. 

"And this is the mic, so you can hear everything" Allen said again as he point on the tie clip attach to his black necktie.

"You can speak to me with this" Allen instructed as he point on an headset with a mic to Shine.

Allen show his earpiece to Shine as he put it on"This is mine" he said.  "It's like your also there" Allen said with a smile as he tried to cheer up Shine.

Shine is disappointed that she can't attend her own burial but it's not like she had another choice. She fake a smile for Allen.

"Sorry about this Shine. I know you want to be there one last time and maybe see Yuzuru one more time but we can't take that risk...Sorry" Allen said apologetically while he look at Shine sympathetically.

"I understand" Shine nodded and weakly smile.

Allen then talk to both Hyeon and Yuna before he leaves Shine to them —giving them instructions,maybe. Hyeon and Yuna both nodded. Hyeon patted Allen's shoulder before Allen leave the room.
.....

The time of Shine's burial is almost up. Shine asked Hyeon and Yuna if they can go to the restaurant downstairs and both of them agreed. It will be more suspicious if the three of them don't go out of the room. The hotel is a safe area anyway, with all the agents and securities.

As they went to the restaurant, Shine saw Mikka. Shine raised her hand and was about to call Mikka but she remembered that Mikka can't know her, so Shine, slowly bring her hand down.

"She's here? what is she doing here?"Shine asked herself in a low voice.

"Who?"Yuna curiously asked.

"Yuzuru's friend, Mikka. She's over there" Shine said looking at her. The Mikka, Shine knows is someone very demure and proper. But today, the Mikka, Shine saw was far from being proper or demure. She is almost running in her four inches, ankle high boots; wearing a simple black tee-shirt and a skinny denim pants. Her beige trench coat is swaying as she run-walk. Whatever Mikka is going to do, she is obviously in a hurry. Shine curiously follow Mikka more with her eyes and she saw her sit with a big man in a suit. Shine's still curious about Mikka but she choose to ignore them and shift her focus to the burial.

....

Shine's burial is finally happening and like what Allen had promised to Shine, she can see and hear everything clearly.

Every people that she knows and important to her are present in her last moment in the earth crust. Nam is wearing a black long sleeves polo. Javier and Yuzuru are wearing a formal suit with black neck tie. And Monika is very chic in her white and black, knee-length dress.

Allen, Mom, Dad and Min occupied the first row together with Yuzuru. Beside him is Yumi, holding his hands. At the back of them, Monika is holding Nam's right hand while Javier stand next to Nam. Shine can also see Coach Brian standing behind Nam and Javier with the club's students that Shine had met and got acquainted with. Some of her friends from school were present too. All of them are crying especially Mom and Dad, except for Min and Yuzuru.

Min is probably too young to understand everything that is happening around him, but Yuzuru is different. For a boy that always cry, Yuzuru is taking Shine's death exceptionally calm.

"Maybe he's just being strong" Shine said in her mind and she touched the bracelet Yuzuru gave her.

Shine can see that Yuzuru mouthed something but Allen's camera is too far for her to read his lips. Then, Yuzuru is looking directly at the camera for a brief second. He is wearing a look that is so familiar with Shine, a look that says 'I will wait for you'. For that brief second, Shine can feel that somehow Yuzuru knows that she is still alive.

"Does he know?" Shine's inner self asked, scared of the thought.

"No! he didn't know that I am here!" Shine convinced herself quietly.
