48 Rose Scented Dream (End)

"It's getting late now, let's go inside!" Mrs Kim said.

"Ohh...You are still enjoying evening summer air", her husband said.

"It's enough now!"

"Hmm...Er... don't you have anything to tell me back?"

"Ummm. ... maybe later, let's go now!"

********************

Two years passed.

"Where are you taking me to", Rose was asking.

"You will know when you arrive there!", Max answered.

They were walking along the path with beautiful houses on the way. It was also not so far from Rose's own family home in Busan.

After walking on for a little more, Rose saw a house with a small garden. In the garden, there were bushes of different coloured roses. The scent was fresh and sweet combining with the spring wind that was coming by.

Had Rose seen this decent looking household. Not big or too tiny but great one for a decent family life.Had Rose seen it anywhere yet?

"Let's go in", Max said.

She realised that it was the household she had drawn for the freelance job she had taken from Max. As of being in relationship with him, Rose had always thought this household might become his and hers family home. But she did not dare to think too much further. She also noticed a line above the fence written, "Park Rosanne".

They walked into the garden and to the front of the household.

"Let's go inside. I hope you like it here?"

Rose was standing looking at the house, not moving at all.

"Rose...are you ok?"

"Umm....I'm ok.... but wait why do you bring me here?"

"It's because.... because...."

Max could not continue to say. But he went to get one white rose flower from the bush plant.

He got down on his knees in front of Rose. Rose alarmed.

"Max... what are you doing..get up...!"

"No...Rose...no.. please"

She looked at his serious face.

"I know you have never taken any bridal flowers...but will you take this from me. Will you this from accept my proposal of marriage..I have already told your father...and he said it's up to decision.!"

Rose's tears fell down. And she nodded.

"Yes" . And she took the flower.

Max was overjoyed and picked her up in his arms.

" Put me down!!"

He put her down.

"Let's go inside the house...!"

Rose was alarmed again.

Max laughed at her.

"Don't worry, my wife to be. I won't do anything of what you are thinking until you are my wife.... legally and officially! Now, let's go to see if you are ok with interior!"

The was perfect as Rose had drawn the two floors - house and inside rooms. She was surprised to see the music studio room which she had not included in her draft. She liked the whole house very much.

The back yard view was also perfect as it was painted by an Renaissance Artist. Their house was on the short hill and down there was a sea.

Max could see Rose was delighted.

Rose said, "You are so good at choosing place. It's one of the most natural location in here while not far from downtown."

"And near your house too. Yes I was lucky enough to get here!"

"Wait ....are you residing here?!"

"I'm still thinking. I need to know what I can do here!"

"Ummm it is ok. We can sometimes come here!....but... thank you Max!"

She went to hugged him. He hugged her back. After the hug, Max put a standard gold ring with a diamond which was crafted into rose flower shape.

"Let's go back to your parents house for now!"

And they went back.

Not long after the wedding party was held here in this garden and the house. And their lovely friends attended here and prayed the best for their lives together. Including Max old friends, Im Seo Hyun, his wife Yoona and her brother family, Jung Hoseok and Wendy and their 3 kids. And Joy's family as well as the Kims. Calla had also come here and wised the best for them as well as with her muse model Yoon who was now started to rising with Calla's help. Mrs Yeon Lee was also very happy to see her son very happy again.

Mrs Nam never bothered them again as she was finding a new love, a motherly love to her in at abroad where he was studying.

........

That night, on their wedding bed, Rose was very nervous. She looked at her own rose shaped diamond.

She had already had shower and was resting on bed. She could see the sound of falling water from the bathroom. Max was having shower.

He finally came to lie besides her. Rose felt a bit uncomfortable. She felt herself getting shy and the feeling she did not much felt before. He was not wearing on his top at all.

He came to hug Rose.

"The lady Wendy must be really great. I heard you stopped your playboy ways because of her!"

Max kissed her on her pink cheeks.

"Hehe... my sweet Rose, you are jealous of others again. It was true I really adore Wendy but I never really love her like I do you! But she and Hoseok union taught me about how stupid I had been and tried to make myself up and I really thank the destiny that brings you to my life!"

Max kissed her cheeks again.

"By the way!" He said " I need some heat because I feel cold."

"So why are you topless then. I will go take a sweater for!"

She got up from bed. But he her back into his arms.

"It's not heat like that. I want natural heat that can warm up whole body which had been lacking it!"

Rose was underneath his body now. " Besides, our friends are getting kids of their own that I'm really jealous!"

"Why do you love me then?"

He seemed to be seriously thinking about her question.

"Hmm...well there's logic I suppose but I was always wishing that I might get get a warm beautiful home from an architect like you!"

Rose was now starting to hug him. The scent of kisses were all around. The joint of their bodies was a pledge to their love that could probably last longer than eternity.

******************

Chae Soo Bin walked along in the line in the airport with her air hostess friends who just arrived back to Incheon Airport. Kim Seokjin was waiting for her there too.

Soo Bin finally saw him and was very pleased.

"Let's go back home, darling?" Seokjin said.

She nodded.

"Yes, my honey!"

But her two air hostess friends were there too.

One of them reminded Soo Bin about their holiday trip.

"Soo Bin yah..don't forget, next week we will have meeting at scuba diving place!"

Chae Soo Bin nodded.

"Ohh Scuba div..!"

Kim Seokjin slipped off.

"Oh....we are just going visit the place around!"

The two friends seemed confused.

But then Kim Seokjin and Chae Bin left the airport leaving the two friends to gossip a little.

" I can't believe it. Soo Bin finally got a hot guy. He is handsome, rich and caring!"

"Yes, she's lucky. She don't really seem to popular among guys before though..!"

"She just not interested in the subject!"

"But the guy seems to be very worried when we talked about diving..I wonder why. Soo Bin was such a good swimmer when we were trainee here at airlines!"

........

Chae family had visited the Kims. They were really surprised that Lee Min Hong was Mr Kim's son but yep the world was indeed not very big.

Chae Soo Bin and Kim Seokjin were above floor playing with Seokjin babies, the two sugar gliders who were now showing their power in gliding.

Soo Bin and Seokjin were sitting on the floor in the pets room.

Seokjin started to talk about marriage to Soo Bin and his delight in doing so with her but Soo Bin said she still wanted to continue to be an hostess for a bit longer. Her airline demanded single marital status for the job. He looked very crossed now and declare that he made move to her because he had heard that she was nearly dying of love for him. She argued back that she did heard he was so crazy in love with her too. It was when they realised they had been tricked. Nonetheless, their feelings were sincere as Jin later declared he was as soft hearted as his gliders in which he needed a partner for life (Sugar Gliders can only mostly survive with a companion). Soo Bin finally agreed to marry Jin.

They were their first for one another but they knew that their love did not seem to be any less in longevity of Max and Rose's.

......

At Seoul National Park, under a big tall tree a woman was sitting on a mattress. On her lap, a young man was lying.

"Mina.."

"Umm.."

"One of my brother was married and another one was about to marry.!"

"So..?"

"We are getting older now.. so...so ... when you are ready .. please ask for my hands in marriage!"

"What if I don't want to marry at all!"

Kim Eunwoo looked nervous now.

"Well if you don't I will go trick your parents into scolding you.!"

"You really are bad..!"

"Yes I'm bad... but I love you!"

And yep the wedding party for these two were coming too.

******************

Years had passed. The three couples had married.

Mrs Lee had decided to sell most of the company share to all other shareholders. Rose had asked her to come to live with her and Max at Busan home. Max was very glad his mother and wife loved each other like sisters (Max mother is young at heart). He was owning quite amount share from Kim Property Company now which was equal with his other two brothers.

So yep Max was residing in Busan office which the Kim had also opened up of their second office. The two Kims brothers were still in Seoul office.

One morning, Mrs Lee and her helper the housemaid were preparing breakfast. Her grandson,a-six+year-old child, came downstairs.

"Min Young, Where are your mama and papa. Call them to came down. Breakfast is ready!"

"Papa is sick. So mama is looking after him."

Mrs Lee understood.

"Morning sickness...Ok Lady .. Come have your bread and cheese and chocolate drink. School bus will be coming soon!"

At upstairs....in the bathroom.

"Are you feeling better now.. you vomit a lot this morning!"

Rose was saying.

"I'm ok now! Let's go for breakfast!"

They went downstairs and sat at breakfast table.

"Mom, I want something sour. "

"Don't worry, I will go buy some green mangos and limes for you today!"

Max touched Rose's stomach. Their next child was coming and he was again suffering sympathy pain for his wife pregnancy again after their first child while Rose did not have to suffer pain, only carrying the child.

"Still good!" Max said."So we share responsibility half half since before the birth...I hope this time we will get a girl!"

.......

That late in the afternoon, Max sat down on bench at their yard, looking at the sea from the hill. He was playing a guitar.

"Are you finding new tunes?"

Rose came to him.

"Yes!"

Mrs Lee was watching them from above the house in her room. By looking at them, she missed her time with late husband, Mr Lee. She went to her bedside and turned on the music player. Sometimes, love stayed forever.

At the yard. .

Max had put down the guitar beside.

He took a deep breath from fresh air.

"You really like here!"

"Yes.. it is so naturally beautiful and peaceful here. The world is getting more complicated by days. But at least, I can rest here at my home which is like a dream but it is reality.!"

Max indeed loved doing his job at company and other things. But life was not always about working and other challenges. At he had a place to rest which was his home.

Rose also took a deep breath. She felt happy too. The fresh air mixed with rose scent from bushes are sweet and dreamy.

"You said you are finding new tunes? Do you plan to write a new song for us?"

"Yes" he nodded.

"Have you already found title?"

"Yes.. it's called Rose Scented Dream!"

*************

A rose is fresh and sweet scented and dreamy

A flower called Rose is so common

Well known for it's romantic essence and classic thorns that can hurt

But it's healing power is not ordinary then

With its soft petals comfort

Rose's essence can be peaceful

It's scent is beautiful and can fresh up one person's mind

If Rose is love, it has full quality

The thorns to hurt

and the petals to comfort

The scent to fresh up one's mind, emotions

It is a rose scented dream that stay in reality forever or more .

The End
