Summary
Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.
But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.
Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

Summary
“You’re still not drunk enough.”
“Yeah?”
“But I can fix that.”
Cold fingers wrap around either side of Jimin’s jaw. Minjeong’s thumb shifts to tug at the corner of Jimin’s lips, urging them to part. Then, with a firm jerk of her wrist, Minjeong tilts Jimin’s head backwards. She raises the can of beer with her other hand and hovers it over Jimin’s mouth.
“Open up for me, unnie.”

Summary
“I'm not done talking.”
“I'm done listening.”
All of a sudden, her wrist got caught and she was being pulled back. She lost her footing, tripping on her own feet, and before she knew it, she was tumbling into Minjeong.
Their lips touched. Jimin's eyes went wide once she assessed the situation, realizing the compromising position they were currently in.

Summary
“I think that’s how love is supposed to be,” Jimin shrugs, “see, this is the problem. There’s a thin line between bravery and stupidity and you keep on mistaking one for the other.” Jimin tilts her head, pouts a little, and it does nothing good for Minjeong’s heart, “It’s not stupid. It’s brave actually. To know that there’s an endless possibility of you getting hurt multiple times, and still going for it regardless.”
or, Minjeong watches Notting Hill and had some realizations.

Summary
“For you, Jimin. Lucky for you, I never had huge expectations for my soulmate. Sadly for me, I got stuck with you. Forever,” 18-year-old Minjeong says over the cracking line, laughter hiding in her voice as she hears a dignified ‘hey!’ in the background. She laughs loudly, fondly, and present Minjeong can recall the memory immediately. Jimin, lazing around the bed while Minjeong was making all these cassettes, the warm orange light framing her face and making her eyes soft. Minjeong remembers looking at her and saying, “I think I can say that we are both incredibly lucky to have found each other so soon. Don’t miss me much, though, as I’ll always stay close to you, and I’ll always find my way back to you.”
The message is cut off suddenly, and Moon River starts playing. The daisies burn, the petals wither on her skin, and Minjeong lets it happen. She embraces the pain.
Minjeong learns about second chances when she returns home.

Summary
“You know I lived an entire life without you,” Minjeong speaks with that small, sleepy tone. “But now that I know you, it’s like I don’t know how to live another day without you in my life.”
Everything Jimin does feels like an autumn breeze, even the way she speaks. Minjeong’s favourite season is autumn and she doesn’t like how fleeting it is at all. She wants to hold on forever and she wants to keep Jimin with her for as long as the taller girl wills herself to.

oh.
jimin is waiting for minjeong to cuddle into her chest, to hide her face in the sanctuary of jimin’s neck, to slide their bodies so close together it’s impossible to tell where one of them ends and the other begins.
which could mean nothing.

They complement each other, slotting together as easily as their fingers intertwine. Even our names match, like they’re holding hands, Jimin said once, grinning at her giddily, and Minjeong didn’t know what to do with the warmth blooming in her chest.
