Lily was rushing to work in the morning, but before she left the house, she searched all the rooms for her wedding ring. The woman took it off only for a moment when she was washing her hands. She had put it on the kitchen table, and now she couldn't find it anywhere. The thought of losing it terrified her, after all, it was very important to her. The blonde didn't tell Jikyo about it, she was a little afraid to admit it. She said she'd look for it again when she got home from work.

The days, weeks and months passed really quickly. Both Lily and Jikyo were very busy at the present time, especially at work. Perhaps that's why the woman might have missed her wedding ring somewhere.

"It's good that you're here. " Lucy Wilson, one of the nurses. " Will you take care of this patient? " She pointed to the looking man.

I just got here, why don't you? " Lilian replied.

"I don't understand anything he says. " She replied embarrassed to which the blonde sighed and approached the patient.

"Good morning". She greeted him and he looked at her. "How may I help you?"

The man shook his head.

"I... I don't know... English. " He waved his hands. "I...Korea. Ihaeleul mos haess-eoyo" (I don't understand) He explained to which the girl nodded.

"Annyeonghaseyo" (Good morning) The blonde smiled at him, which he immediately reciprocated.

"Ah, annyeonghaseyo. " (Good morning) He replied. "Jeo yom dowajusigess-eoyo? (Couldyou help me?)"

"Museun il-i il-eonassjiyo? (What happened?)"

"Uisa yom bulleo juseyo? (Couldyou call a doctor?)"

"James Marshall? " She asked to be sure.

"Ne. (Yes)"

"Jamsi hu uisa-ege jeonhwahagessseubnida (I'llcall your doctor in a moment)" Lily said while Lucy didn't even know what it was about.

"Dowajusyeoseo gamsahabnida (Thankyou for your help)" The man said smiling.

"Aniyeyo (You'rewelcome)" Wilkinson replied and called the appropriate doctor. "Museun chilyoleul badgo gyesingayo? (Areyou taking any medicines now?) "

"Aniyo. (No)" He shook his head.

"Uisaga 10hosil-eseo dangsin-eul gidaligo issseubnida. (Thedoctor is Whiting for you in room ten)"

The blonde led the patient to the right place, and when she returned, she looked at Lucy.

"What? "

"How do you understand all this? " The woman asked in disbelief.

"My husband knows Korean. Jikyo was taught by his father, and Jikyo taught me a bit. " She replied and went to get changed.

Because she knew a little of a second language, she could easily communicate with other patients when the opportunity presented itself. Liliana also knew Polish and a little Spanish. She was self-taught, learning other languages ​​came easily to her. She had a lot of books about another culture at home, thanks to them she learned new things.

Wilkinson spent her entire shift in thought. She kept thinking where she might have left her wedding ring. She had run out of options already, and that made her even more worried. She knew that her husband might not necessarily be angry with her, but she felt terribly stupid to admit that she had lost her wedding ring.

"Ugh..." She sighed and hid her face in her hands.

"Are you okay? " Lucy asked as she passed by.

"Not really. " She replied brokenly and looked at her companion.

"What happened? " Woman asked a bit more concerned.

"I lost my wedding ring. " She admitted and shook her head. "I've looked for it everywhere and it's nowhere to be found." She explained sadly.

"Don't worry. If you were so anxious to find it, it's probably lying around somewhere, and you didn't notice it because of your stress. " She said. "When you come home, you'll calmly look for it."

Wilkinson really hoped Lucy was right. When she finally got home, she searched all the corners again, and when Jikyo came home from work, she even looked in the car. Maybe she had fallen out there after all, she wasn't sure about anything anymore.

The woman tucked her hair behind her ear and looked through the seats, looked under the windshield wipers, but she still didn't find her wedding ring.

"Damn. " She sighed.

"You're looking for something? " She heard her husband's voice behind her, which made her jump. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. " He replied, amused to see her expression. "So? Have you lost something? "

"E-eh..." She hesitated, then took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Jikyo! " She said, broken. "I lost my wedding ring. I've been looking for it literally everywhere! " She gestured with her hands.

"Oh, so that's why the cutlery drawer was on the stove?" He asked to which she nodded.

"I'm really, really sorry. You may be angry with me, but... Why are you laughing? " She asked, not really knowing what it was about. "Is this funny to you?" She asked herself, smiling involuntarily.

Jikyo shook his head, then took his beloved's hands and put the lost wedding ring on her finger.

"You found it! " She was relieved.

"Well, not really, because I took it from you." He replied which surprised her. "You see? " He showed her his ring. There was an inscription on the inside that hadn't been there before. "Always and forever. " He read. "I took our wedding rings to a goldsmith so he could do this engraving. Yours has one too. " He explained. "On our anniversary. " He added with a smile.

"Do you know how scared I was that I lost it?! " She tapped him lightly on the shoulder but didn't hide her smile. "I have something for you too."

Today, August twenty-fourth, was their wedding anniversary. A memorable date that cannot be forgotten, although nothing difficult for those who want to.

Liliana entered the house with her husband and handed him a small box. Man opened it, and inside was his father's watch.

"I took it in for repair and now it works like new. " She said with a smile.

"It must've been expensive... "Jikyo started, but she interrupted him.

"Not that expensive. " She replied. "Besides, it's a special occasion. I wanted to make you happy."

"Thank you, nae salang" Man smiled at her and then kissed her, which she reciprocated.

"So? Let's celebrate our anniversary. " She said.

The couple had a romantic candlelight dinner together. Later, they decided to watch a movie when Lily's phone rang.

"It must be Sally. " She announced. "I asked her to tell me how Bradley is after seeing another doctor. " She explained and answered the call. "Hi! Do you already know something new? " She asked immediately with concern.

"The doctor said Bradley might have a chance. " Morgan said over the phone. "We're leaving for surgery in a few days. I'm stressed about it all. "

"That's great news! If the doctors are positive, so you should be too. " Blonde said. "You'll see, everything will okay now. Don't lose faith. "

"Mm, you're right. " She nodded in a happier voice. "I'll let you know how it goes."

"Yes. And take care and say hi to Bradley. " Liliana said and hung up.

"Something new? " Park asked, looking at his wife walking towards him.

"Yes. The doctors said there is a chance. They're going into surgery soon. " She replied. "Maybe it's finally starting to fall into place. Sally is very worried about it and I'm not surprised. " She said. "I don't know what I would do in her place."

"She's strong, she's got her head on her shoulders. Three kids and Bradley's disease... No wonder it was wearing her out. But now, let's be positive. " He smiled at his wife and brushed a strand of her hair out of her face. "They'll need this positive energy. "

"Mm. " Woman nodded. "I was thinking that maybe when things calmed down a bit with them, we could take care of their children and Sally and Bradley could spend time together. What do you think? "

"Yeah, you're right. " He replied. "Let's do that. " Smiled. "But right now, I want to spend time with my wife. " He moved closer to her and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

Lily couldn't hide her smile. She immediately returned the gesture and woven her hands into Jikyo's hair. Park placed her gently on her back and then leaned over her without interrupting the earlier gesture.

After a hard time, the young couple could focus more on themselves and let themselves be carried away by the moment. They had been working a lot lately and had little time for themselves, but now they could make a difference. Tonight's intoxicating night, they spent just the two of them.

The next morning, Lily woke up first. The woman turned on her side and with a warm smile looked at her sleeping husband. He looked so calm and innocent and cute at the same time. Liliana liked to watch her beloved sleep. It soothed her, and she was glad she still had him with her.

The blonde brushed a strand of his hair from his forehead and then gently kissed his shoulder. A moment later, she quietly got up, put on her own underwear and then she put on her husband's t-shirt too. She went to the kitchen to prepare the only meal for Jikyo that was her speciality, which was scrambled eggs. As for this meal, Lily had never burned it before and always came up with a very good version of the food.

When she finished, she set the plates with the dish on the tray, then added glasses of juice and, smiling, went back to the bedroom, where Park was still sleeping.

"Honey? " She called in a nice voice, put the tray on the bedside table, then sat down next to Jikyo and smiled. Woman stroked his cheek gently, then ran her hand through his hair. "Brekkie." She said as the man woke up. "I didn't burn it, you can eat calmly." She giggled.

"Mm, scrambled eggs? " He looked at the prepared meal. "My wife has talent. " He sat down and kissed her in greeting.

"Let's respect each other, I'm an expert on scrambled eggs, and you on everything else. " She said amused, then began to eat with her husband.

"You'll learn everything slowly. You'll see. " He said and smiled at her.

After they ate together, Jikyo went to take a bath while Lily washed the dishes. After a while, the man came out of the bathroom in freshly changed clothes. The man's hair was still wet, and he ran his hand through it a bit.

"Um, Jikyo? " Woman approached him.

"Hm? " He glanced at her and put the newspaper back on the table.

"Can we talk for a while? "

"Yeah, sure. " He replied immediately. "Something happened? "

"No, I just... " She said and then sighed. "I wanted to talk about something that we haven't talked about lately. " Said and sat next to him on the sofa.

"So let's talk. " He smiled encouragingly at her. "What is it about? "

Lily had a hard time broaching the subject. She wasn't entirely sure herself. But she knew that life was still moving on, and the years were coming with each passing year. If they want to start a new stage, they should both think it over and agree on it.

"You asked me once about kids, remember? " She reminded quite uncertainly, and Jikyo immediately guessed what it was about. Man nodded his head in response. "Well, then Ben came to our lives and we didn't talk about it again..." She said. "I think..." She hesitated. "We should get back to that topic."

"About kids? " He asked. "You mean our own?" He asked, listening to her carefully, to which she nodded. "You weren't ready then." Said while glancing at her. "You... Have you changed your mind?" He asked gently.

Lily blinked a few times then took a deep breath.

"I thought about it. " She admitted honestly. "Time is still moving forward, and we also get a little older every year... " She said. "Besides..." She looked at her husband. "I love you, Jikyo." Woman smiled at him which he returned. "And I want you to be happy, for both of us to be. Kids are a big responsibility and a big step in our lives. But thanks to Ben's presence, I understood a lot and learned a lot. " She said sincerely. "I want us to start a family together, Jikyo. I know that I have nothing to fear because you'll always be with me. So... If you still want it too then... " She looked at him again. "Let's have a baby." She laughed a bit nervously.

Her words were sincere, and Park knew it. He was happy to hear his wife talk so openly about all this. He was proud of her and grateful for everything she had done for him.

"What do you think? " Liliana asked nervously.

Jikyo smiled at her, then moved closer and hugged his beloved.

"Thank you, Lily. " He whispered into her ear then looked at her and took her face in his hands.

"Does that mean you agree? " She asked, gently grabbing his wrists while he stroked her cheeks.

Man nodded his head in the affirmative, not hiding a smile.

"Yes. " He said. "Let's create our family together, nae salang.
