5 Months Is All It Takes...

The week after Christmas week was New Years. It was time for GOT7 to leave LA to go back to Korea. Jenny, Caroline, and Peter headed out to the airport with GOT7 and their managers. When they got to the airport, Minho and Hyun Suk went to return the rental car and headed to the gate to board. It was about 20 minutes until boarding time. Caroline, Peter, and Jenny all hugged and said their goodbyes to GOT7 and the managers. Everyone group hugged. And thats when Jenny pulled out the gifts for the guys and gave it to them one by one telling them to open it when their on the plane. After 20 minutes time, the three gave the guys one last hug and they all walked into the gate. Mark was the last one in line to go inside and he realized that he couldnt live without Jenny so he ran back to hug her tightly one last time and finally kisses her on the lips lightly and left back to the gate. Caroline, Jenny, and Peter stood there looking at them walk inside and left right after the plane took off. During the trip back to Korea, GOT7 was sleeping and Mark was awake. He sat there and read Jenny’s letter and opened her gift that she gave him. It read....

My Dear Mark Oppa,
It’s Christmas day and you all are asleep. I’m currently sitting here writing this for you while you are in dreamland. I am so glad i met you again here in LA where you grew up. My best friend is finally back and I am so happy that you are. You became a handsome man (not like you weren’t before just saying). You grew up so fast, we both did. Did you still remember what i told you when i dreamt of becoming a Doctor when we were little ? Well, my dream has came true. I just told you about my dream about becoming a Doctor but i forgot to tell you that i wanted to open up my own hospital in Seoul, Korea. My dream today has came true. Thanks to JYP i accomplished my wish as a kid and im so proud that i did. With that help, you are looking at the new CEO Manager of Junghwa Seoul Korea Hospital. It’s one the best idol hospitals in Korea, all idols go there to get cured. Im going to be flying there with Caroline and Peter a week after you read this letter to check out the actual hospital in person. Also, im going to be renting an apartment in the mean time in Korea and maybe getting my own place when i have the money. Aren’t you proud of me ? I am. Hehehe.. Through this, i gave up two offers from people that mentored me in College and i couldnt be more proud to make this decision on my own. The first offer was from my professor who had a wife who owned a hospital in LA. He wanted me to reconsider working for her, but after months of thinking, ive turned down that offer already. The second offer was from my boss who i interned for for a couple years now. She also wanted me to work as the head Doctor at the hospital, but i also turned that down. I felt like i risk everything and given up on everything that ive worked for and go across the country to make one of my dreams come true. Do you think i made the right choice, Mark? I guess i did but time will only tell. Im also proud that you became an idol (not remembering if you told me or not but its okay). I’ve watched you these past years and i can’t say how much you have grown into a handsome man. Hehehe.. i have already said that. When i fell, you picked me back up. When i cried, you comforted me. When i was lonely, you were right there beside me. I couldnt ask for anyone but you in my life. There are so many stories i want to tell you, but we are running out of time. Life is about to hit us right when we are happily together. I cant say how happy i am when im together with you. When im with you, i dont see you as my best friend but my actual boyfriend and i cant thank you enough for that. The words that i cant say to you in time were “I Love You”. I love you Mark and i have always had. A wise person told me that if you really love someone, then you should do whatever it takes to be with that person. Maybe Korea will be the first step to our relationship. There is a future for everyone Mark, both me and you. I want you to be happy with whatever you do and when im there or not. When your not there, I tell myself that if your happy, then im happy too. I really miss you Mark and i wish for us to stay together forever like this. Speaking of a wise person, I know i haven’t told you everything about me. But after Hyunwoo died, his soul came to me and asked me for help. He was right beside me all this time to help me out in life. He stayed because he needed to do one last thing before he leaves into heaven. He wanted me to co-own his company that he sold to JYP. So i helped him sign the contract and now i co-own JYP in LA. Im not sure how times he had told me that you are lucky to have me in your life and how fate brought us together. He said that you were always right of what you said to me about everything. Thats why when i asked you about talking to someone you lost a month ago, it was Hyunwoo who i talked to when he was here still. Now, he’s in a better place and have left my side. Anyways, I bought you something in return of saying goodbye. I know we looked at this the other day in the shop and you once said that you always wanted to wear a tie with a suit on our official date but we didnt get a chance to go on one. So i bought it for you when i was in the store the other day, a formal tie. It matches the pattern you like. Also, i made this when i had time. It’s a box scroll with pictures of all us together. Some of them i call memories. I kept a few because i always wanted to look back at it. I want you to remember everything that happened here in LA from the first month you guys came here. I couldnt ask for a better family than this. You all made me happy and i couldnt ask for more. Thank you for holding me up when I fell down and for being there when i need protection. I wanted to give you everything including my heart. I guess thats it for now. I hope to meet you again Mark, i truly wish to. Call me when you get back to Korea, i wanna know that your safe there. I love you Mark, i truly do. - Your clumsy girl friend, Yoojung (Jenny).

After reading that letter, Mark opened up the box that was wrapped as a gift. He saw the tie that he wanted not long ago in there. He began to tear up as he looked from the letter to the tie and realized how much he missed Yoojung. GOT7 and their managers finally made it to Korea safely after hours on the plane. It was [10PM] in Korea and GOT7 had already went home back to their dorms. As soon as they got back to the dorms, they went to sleep right away until the next day for their schedule. They were getting ready for their comeback stage very soon. Jenny was packing up her house into boxes and getting the papers to put it up for sale. On the day before going to Korea with Caroline and Peter, she had already talked to the apartment people in Korea and finally rented her apartment in Korea. It was a small space that she could afford in the mean time. Before leaving on the plane to Korea, Jenny paid a visit to the Juvenille Hall to visit Sang Gi Eun one last time before her real life starts. There, Jenny talked to her and thanked her for everything.

Sang Gi Eun : what are you doing here ?
Jenny : i came to say goodbye.
Sang Gi Eun : why are you saying goodbye ?
Jenny : im leaving to Korea permanently.
Sang Gi Eun : why is that ?
Jenny : i moved there and im opening my own hospital in Seoul.
Jenny : im also co-owning Jay's company with JYP Entertainment.
Jenny : i wont be seeing you for long so i just wanted you to know.
Jenny : i know that you still hate me and all and im sorry for putting you here.
Jenny : it felt like it was the right thing to do, im so sorry.
Sang Gi Eun : i learned a lot when i was here.
Jenny : Hyunwoo said goodbye to you when he went to heaven.
Sang Gi Eun : youve seen him ?
Jenny (*nods her head)
Jenny : he helped me with everything and convinced me to take the company.
Jenny : i did it for him.
Sang Gi Eun : how is he ?
Jenny : he was good and in a better place now.
Jenny : he said that he was also sorry for putting you here.
Jenny : he felt like he disappointed you when he was still alive.
Sang Gi Eun : he didnt at all.
Jenny (*pulls out the envelope of money Jay left behind for his mother & glids it over)
Sang Gi Eun (*looks at the envelope & asks) : what is it ?
Jenny : its the last aspect of what he earned in that company.
Jenny : he wanted you to have it. Buy something nice when you get out.
Sang Gi Eun : how did he..... give it to you ?
Jenny : he told me to go inside his house and get that.
Jenny : i wouldnt do it even if he didnt ask me.
Jenny : i better go, its time for me to leave.
Sang Gi Eun : thank you Yoojung. (*smiles)
Jenny (*smiles & says in Korean) : goodbye Mother.

Jenny left the juvenille hall and went to the airport to catch the plane.
