TYSON POV
We drove to the cliff.
Mother, mr. Kim and mr. Carter where there alre-ady. With twelve men. Five for carter and seven for mom.
“The backups are here.” The sergeant said.
“Where?”
“Look up.” Tyson looked up and saw an helicopter.
“We are dealing with dangerous people so we have to fight them from the air.” He said.
He brou-ght out his workie talkie. “You shoot the twelve men if they don’t cooperate.” He said.
We all went closer to them, “drop your weapons, go on your kneel and put your hands above your head.” Two sergeant commanded.
The twelve men pointed their guns at us, but the police officers in the helicopter where quic-k to shoot them each. They did not kill them but made the bullet brush them.
The men all fell down and that gave the police the opportunity to arrest them.
NO POV
The police handcuffed Seokmi and Carter.
Maya quic-kly brou-ght out a gun and pointed it at kimkim.
“If you come close to me, I will kill her.” She threatened.
The police st©pped on their track.
“That good, st©p.” She said.
Tyson moved forward a bit.
TYSON POV
“Mother plea-se drop the gun. Don’t you think you have become like them. Mother you killed innocent people all because of revenge. Revenge that won’t bring back father or hyung.

I was living an innocent life but now, everyone knows me as a dangerous woman.
I miss my mother inlaw who tried to show me the truth even though she is in more pain than I am.
She lost her three sons and husband.
I am a killer now.
I killed innocent people. Those people at the ap@rtment died because of me. Those innocent people were killed by me.
I looked at kimkim in the floor and knelt beside her.
I will do the right thing from now on.
I re-moved the mouth cover and re-leased her.
She stood up and ran to Tyson. Who hvgged her really ti-ght.
I was trying to rid my son of his happiness. I wanted to kill the person he loves. I am a bad person.
A gun was sh0t. I closed my ti-ght eyes. I felt someone fall on the floor close to me.
“Tyson, father.” I heard Kimkim call and that made me open my eyes. Before me was seokmi covered in blood. Tyson too was also on the floor.
I looked at Carter who was also falling to the floor.
NO POV
Carter seeing what was going on. Brou-ght out a gun from his pocket and sh0t towards Maya.
Seokmi ran to her and the bullet hit him on his forehead.
Carter aimed at kimkim too, but Tyson pushed her away and took the bullet which hit him on his che-st.
The police sh0t Carter multi-ple bullets.
Tyson fell to the floor and lost consciousness. Kimkim held him close to her crying.
Maya also knelt down beside seokmi who was struggling to breathe.
“I…… Am…. Happy……. You….. Finally……. See…… The…….. Truth….” He said.
“Don’t talk, we will take you to the hospital.”
“I……. Don’t……… Have…….. Much…….. Time.” He looked at kimkim. “Forgive……. Me.”
“Father don’t say that, you will be alright. Tyson will be too. Grandma missed you alot. Don’t you want to see her. What about Jessica, Rose and Lisa? They all miss you.”
He f0rç£d a smile, “this…… Is…… The…… End….. Of……. Your…… Sufferings….” He said and slowly gave up the ghost.
“Seokmi.” Maya called shaking me.
“Father…….” Kimkim screamed.
The police c@m£ close to him and checked his purse.
“He is dead.” They said.

ETHEREAL BEAUTY (LOVE ME AGAIN)
Epilogue
KIMKIM POV
Standing by the seashore of a beach. I closed my eyes and inhaled. The weather is cool. The air scent nice.
An arm wra-pped my w@!st drawing me closer to him.
“Love the air right?” He asked.
I slowly opened my eyes, “its so cool.” I replied.
He turned me to face him, “you look beautiful.” He said which made me smile.
“And you look handsome.”
“I know.”
“Aigoo….. I was just kidding.” He laughed. “C’mon, everyone is waiting. Dinner is served.” He said holding my hand. We both walked to the beach house together.
It’s two year now. Two year after the death of father.
Our lives have been so peaceful since then.
“Never thought this day will come.” Tyson said stirring at our families gathered round a table.
“Hmmm?”
“Two year ago, our lives was a mess. But look at us now.” He said.
“We share the same mind. I was thinking the same thing.” I said.
“What are you two lovebirds doing there, come here immediately.” Jessica screamed at us.
“We are coming.” I replied.
We walked to the table and sat down.
“You two should get married alre-ady.” Tyson grandmother said.
“We are twenty two grandma.” Tyson replied.
“So what?” My grandma asked.
“We are still young.”
“You call that young?” My grandma asked.
“Yes Tyson you call that young? You must be kidding.” Minho said.
“Tsk, you and Elisha should get married too. I nee-d grandchildren.” Aunt (Minho’s mother said).
“Yes minho. You should. Aunt is not getting any younger.” I said teasing him.
“Enough with the marriage discussion and let’s eat.” Minho said.
Life have been going well for us.
I couldn’t get over the death of father. I love my father so much but his life just had to end then. My life was in a mess cause of his death coupled with the fact that Tyson was in a coma with a slim chance of survival. He was lucky the bullet did not hit his heart.
Elisha was also mourning her dad’s death. She felt guilty for all her father did and the citizens did not help at all blaming her for her father’s deceit.
Mrs. Maya was arrested and charged to life imprisonment.
Tyson grandmother transferred him to a hospital in America and I went with him.
He woke up after two months.
We have been in America for two years now.
Jessica husband got a job here in America so they moved here along with Rose and grandma. Lisa went to China and got married. They c@m£ to visit us here in America. Minho c@m£ back to America along with Elisha to his parent’s house.
Its been peaceful for us.
The love between Tyson and I grew. We are so in love with each other.
“Tyson have you tell her yet?” Tyson elder sister asked.
I looked at him curious, “tell me what?”
He cleared his throat and looked at everyb©dy whose eyes were all on me. “Well……. You see……… The thing is……… That…..”
I chuckled, “st©p that and just tell me.”
“Well, we will be relocating back to Korea next month.” He said.
The smile on my face faded, “korea?”
“Yes babe.”
“And you are just telling me?”
“See babe, it c@m£ unexpectedly. Our company over there is going bankrupt. My sister will be in charge of the company here in America while I will be in charge of the one in korea.”
“That is not the point.” I shut my eyes and openedC it immediately. “Why are you telling me this now?” I looked at everyone else. “No one among you guys cared to let me know?”
“See Kimberly, we thought you knew too.” Unnie (Jessica) said.
“Really? And I did not talk about it?”
“Sweetheart. Don’t mind us.” Tyson grandmother said.
I looked at Tyson, “you are my b©yfri£ndbut still hid this from me.”
“Babe, it c@m£ unexpectedly. We just found out yesterday. Don’t get angry over this little thing.”
I stood up in anger, “little thing? You call this little thing? Have you forgotten what happened in Korea? You of all people know how I feel about Korea. And you just took a decision without letting me know? You tell me now that we are going to the same place where I have learnt to res£nt?”
“Try to be reasonable.” He said.
“Reasonable……….” I picked you my phone from the table. “You know what? have fun alone. You just ruined my night.” I said and left.
TYSON POV
$h!t…….
I just made her leave.
“Tyson I am disappointed in you.” Grandma said. “She is your girlfriend. If your sister did not ask about it, then you wouldn’t have told her?”
“No Mrs. Lee, Kimberly is wrong here. Why get angry over this little thing?” Kimberly mother asked.
I stood up and ran after her.
“Kimkim, kimkim, kimkim.” I called her but she ignored me and continued walking to God knows where. “Kimkim.” I called and held her hand.
“St©p calling me kimkim. Have told you countless time. Call me Kimberly.” She flared up.
“Babe calm down.”
“I should calm down? Really Tyson.”
“See Kimmy.” I said calling her by her pet name given by me. She hates the name kimkim cause of the memory it brings. “Listen to me plea-se.” I said.
She folded her hand and looked at me. That is one of the reason I respect her a lot. She always listen to explanations.
“See babe. I know what you went throu-gh in Korea. I know how ha-rd it is for you. And I un-derstand your anger. I was scared. So scared to tell you. I know it will annoy you and that was why I was worried. I was looking for the perfect time to tell you. I begged grandma to at least let us move in five month so that I will tell you, but the Lee’s company there is coll@psing. plea-se babe, am sorry.”
“No matter what, you should have let me know.” She said calmly.
“Forgive me babe.”
“I am sorry for shouting at you like that.”
She said.
“I should be the one apologizing.” I said.
She smiled at me. I drew her close to me and t©uçhed her cheek. “My beautiful girlfriend.” I said and that made her smile wi-dely.
I pe-cked her on herl-ips.
“Just that?” She said.
“I don’t want to go forward or we might end up str!pping here in this cold place.” I said.
“Let’s go back.” She said and dragged me with her.
“Kimberly.” Lisa called when she saw us.
“Am so sorry guys. I got angry without thinking. Forgive me.” She begged.
“Sit dear, I should be the one apologizing.” Grandma said.
Kimberly sat down while I sat beside her.
“Let eat.”
When we were almost done. I leaned closer to her and whispered to her ear, “can’t wait for this night. You are so gonna scream my name.”
She glared at me, “eat.”
A month later…….
I sat anxiously with Kimmy by my side. I finally decided to visit my mom after a week of our arrival.
The prison door opened and mother walked out.
“Son.” She called shocked.
I stood up.
“My child.” She called and rushed to hvg me. “I miss you so much. How have you been. Have been so worried about you. I thought you left me. You did not visit me. Do you hate me that much now?” She asked.
“Sorry mom I did not visit. I have been in America.” I apologized.
She smiled at me, before she looked at Kimberly.
“Kimkim.” She called. This is the first time mom called her kimkim.
“Kimberly, not kimkim mom.” I corrected.
She looked at me and looked at her again. “Oh dear.” She said.
“My child. I missed you so much.” She said to me.
We stayed with her for a while before we left.
Immediately we left the prison, we went to kimkim’s father grave, then we left for the mansion.
Later in the evening.
I sat on the be-d in my pajamas getting re-ady for be-d when kimkim walked in in her nighties. She looks so S-xy with that nighties on. She sat down beside me.
“My love, will you drive me to school tomorrow?” She asked.
She got an admission to Seoul university to study business management. I am so proud of my baby.
“Yes of course. It is your first day.” I replied.
She smiled, “thank you.”
I dragged her up and made her sit on my l@p .
“Babe you look so good this night.” I said.
“Really? Just this night?”
“You always look good.” I said and brou-ght herl-ips closer.
I k!$$£d her pas-sionately which turned intense. What happened next will be for another day.
We went throu-gh a lot but overc@m£ it. Revenge will cause you nothing but pain. We should learn to forgive. Forgiveness is what is nee-ded in every relationsh!p.
We should learn to forgo things.
We should learn to have self control.
Evil does not pay instead it brings regrets.
