On a chilly night of November, when the stars were shining brightly on the night sky, the three friends were celebrating the good news. Unbeknownst to them, that night was one of the last happy ones. The genuine feeling of happiness that they felt was short term, as the misfortune was approaching them. Was there a way for them to ever prevent that from happening?

  As promised, Yeong-hwan prepared a great meal to celebrate  the news of books being sold out. Hyun-woo, who jokingly told Yu Na to eat as much as she could, now was drinking a glass of soju, while reminiscing about some old times.

‘Yu Na! If you were to meet us five years ago, you would have been so amazed! Did you know that Yeong-hwan and I were brave warriors? Well, I was the most skilled, but he was great too! Now he chose a pen as his weapon, what a loss of potential!’ he bursted out laughing as he leaned on the wall, Yu Na looked with curiosity to hear Yeong-hwan’s response

‘Says the man who began making jewelry! You were the one who quit first!’ replied fast Yeong-hwan, and, before Hyun-woo got the chance to reply, he continued. ‘My books got sold out finally, how about your jewelry?’

‘There isn’t anyone who doesn’t know about them! I’m very famous, you know? All the ladies want a piece of what I make!’ with a sulky face responded Hyun-woo

‘That’s why you wear all those rings on your hands? To me it looks like you don’t have much luck in selling them!’ he continued, but Yu Na interrupted the boys to be sure that the atmosphere didn’t get much heavier than it was in that moment

‘Boys, don’t argue! It’s okay to lose interest in something that you once enjoyed very much! That's part of growing up and I think that the things that you guys do right now are honorable. It’s not easy to write, nor to create such amazing jewelry, so you should be proud!’ with a smile on her face, Yu Na encouraged the boys

Yeong-hwan looked at her with a proud expression, then glared at Hyun-woo who was also admiring the way Yu Na calmed them down. 

‘What about you? What’s something that you are now good at?’ asked a curious Hyun-woo

‘I feel like I should say that I like to read, or something of that sort, but, to be honest, I really like to sing. I can sing a  bit and you guys can judge! How does that sound?’ and the boys, who got very curious, were soon to ask her to sing

Yu Na thought for a moment of what song she should choose. There were a lot of songs that she wrote in the years of her career, and so many that never got the chance to be released. So many options, yet only one to be chosen.

At that moment, she decided to sing the last song that they were meant to sing on that fateful night. Eternal love, a song that conveyed the true feelings of Yu Na. She wrote the song as a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is a grim of light.

‘... only one night, just for tonight, shine once more, my love.’ she finished the song as tears stained her blushy cheeks, the boys applause her

‘Yu Na! You really do sing great! You’d make a great singer!’ in a soft tone replied Hyun-woo. He was deeply impressed by the meaning behind the song

Yeong-hwan gently put his hand on her cheeks and wiped her tears. When she looked into his eyes, she felt her heart beating so fast as her cheeks became burning red. 

‘I’ve found somebody… After 6 years, for the first time, tonight, a glimpse of love’ she told to herself, as she felt overwhelmed by the support that the boys gave her. Their genuine feelings gave her power in ways she never felt before. After a long time, tonight, she felt like she was regaining her true self.

‘Report.’ asked the man who was standing with his back at his subordinate, looking out of the window, to the deep of the forest.

A young man entered the room, as he kneeled to the man that was facing the window. The man wasn’t an ordinary man, but, by the way he was dressed, it was clear he was a soldier. He put his hand on his sword, and a wound from a cut on his hand was visible. 

‘We’ve found her, as you’ve ordered.’ replied soon enough the man that just entered the room

‘Very well. It took you long enough to find her.’

‘How should we proceed?’

‘Let’s go according to the plan.’ replied the man, as he turned his back at the window and smiled, looking at his subordinate
