“Bryan doesn't love me, he doesn't love me at all. Bryan does not love me, he does not love me at all!” he said slowly with teary eyes.


Ken ran over to Ghea and pulled her hand. As Ghea faced Ken, her eyes were already in tears.


“You all right, Ghe?” ken asked looking worried.


“Bryan doesn't love me, he doesn't love me at all,” he said in tears.


Seeing Ghea who was crying like that, Ken immediately hugged his best friend so tightly. Instantly his cry broke out in Ken's arms. Seeing his best friend so sad and crying like this, Ken tried to comfort him and try to calm him down.


Today is the fifth day and is Angel and Mike's last day in Korea. They decided to go to Jeju Island on their last day in Korea. According to the news circulating, Jeju is a paradise of the world and the place is very beautiful.


There are so many flower beds that are so beautiful, Angel just a lot of taking selfies there. But suddenly Mike picked a red rose and gave it to Angel.


“Still,” said Angel with a small smile.


Angel and Mike spend a lot of their time around Jeju Island which looks very beautiful. Enjoy the scenery, play around in the flower fields, do a lot of selfies, it will be their last memories in Korea.


After being content to play around, they continued their journey towards Seongsan IIchulbong Peak on the east coast. Angel and Mike spend a lot of their time playing with water.


Mike suddenly holds Angel and drops her, leaving all her clothes dirty and wet.


Today Angel is acting more spoiled and asks Mike to carry her on his wide back. While carrying Angel, Mike went running around so happily. Until finally, Mike and Angel spend their nights on the beach while looking at the sunset.


“Uwaaa, beautiful!” exclaimed Angel amazed with sparkling eyes.


“Norak, rich who haven't seen sunset in Indonesia!”


“Yee, it's different, it's Korean,” Angel replied.


“The name is sunset, everywhere also keep the same know!”


This time Angel gave up and did not want to argue back with Mike. Angel was just enjoying the sunset scene with her facial expression looking very serious.


“Sun has set, it is already night. This five-day trip in Korea will end just like that. I did not want to leave Korea,”, Angel said, making Mike look at his face.


“If you want, we can go on vacation here next day,” replied Mike slowly.


“What could we possibly be here again? Is it possible we can go here together?” angel asked Mike to turn his eyes and look at the night sky covered with stars.


“Mike, our marriage does not actually have to happen if we do not make a mistake. But, I have considered that mistake as the most beautiful mistake I have ever passed with you.”


Mike looked back at Angel's face, this time Mike could see the seriousness and fame in Angel. For some reason, Angel's face seemed to emit a light that was very blinding to his eyes.


“If we marry a contract, but we don't make our days a contract either. We both have to create new memories and achieve our dreams. Even if we are married, but do not let our dreams be extinguished.


"I'm still living my dream to become a famous designer and you have to keep your dream as a runner. Okay?”


Mike nodded and smiled slightly while holding Angel's head gently.


“Yes, don't let just with a marriage contract this, our dream is gone. We both have to make it happen.”


“Mike, if you are not a runner you want to be what?” ask Angel suddenly to make Mike look back at Angel's face.


“You were the first to ask about my true dream, Ngel. If I answer honestly, you promise not to laugh at me?”


Angel nodded slowly and couldn't wait for Mike's reply.


"Musician, I would love to be a musician who creates a lot of songs and can play the piano for me to present to someone I love so much. I also want to create a free music school with my own sweat to realize the dreams of people who can never reach it.”


Angel smiled, it turned out to be true what Mike's family said. Mike's real dream is to be a musician. And, Angel was quite happy that Mike had already told her his honest dream. Moreover, Angel knew that he was the first person told by Mike himself.


“Excite Mike, try to make your dream come true. Your dreams are very noble, I will always support you and I will wait for your works.”


Mike saw the look of Angel's eyes look radiant, Mike was quite happy because Angel supported his dream. Seeing the other side of Angel like that, Mike brought himself closer to Angel and kissed Angel's forehead gently.


“Thank you yes, I will never forget our conversation today,” he said slowly with a big smile.


Angel smiled happily, her eyes looking teary at Mike's warmth and gentleness. Since it was late, they returned to the inn and got ready to clean up their belongings because tomorrow they would return to Indonesia.


While at the inn, Mike helps Angel to tidy up her clothes and put them in a suitcase. In fact, they both went back to sleep together with one pillow and the same blanket.


The next morning, before they return and head to the airport, Mike takes Angel to the last place before they go home. Mike took Angel to Hantang Sky Bridge where, there is a suspension bridge that looks very beautiful.


“Inget no, the time in Germany we first met on a bridge, right?” mike opened his voice.


“Iya I remember, it feels like just yesterday I went to Germany. Now, I'm instead standing on a different bridge and in a different country with you.”


“Status we are also now different," added Mike to make Angel look at Mike's face gently.


“You're sorry about this wedding?”


“I have no regrets, I am only responsible for what I have done and I just want to protect someone who has been involved with all these events,” answered Mike to make Angel look back at Mike's face.


“Mike . . ."


“Ngel, our life as a real married couple will start soon when we return to Indonesia. I hope you still have the courage to face our lives that will begin to change a lot. You must still realize your dream as a designer and you must stay excited!”


“Definitely, spirit, Mike!”


“Spirit, Ngel!”


After much heart-to-heart conversation, Mike and Angel head to the airport. However, Mike suddenly stopped his steps and knelt in front of Angel.


“Mike, what are you doing?” angel looked confused.


Mike did not answer, all he did was to put Angel's shoelaces loose. Angel was so surprised to see Mike so kind and considerate of him. After putting his shoelaces together, Mike stood up and smiled warmly at Angel. Mike embraces Angel and they immediately head to the airport to return to Indonesia.


While on the plane, Angel and Mike saw many photos during their time in Seoul in a camera owned by Angel. Until Angel finally fell asleep, Mike was still looking at Angel's face that looked very calm when he fell asleep like that.


Mike covers Angel with a blanket and keeps the camera in Angel's hand in his bag. Seeing Angel's head falling down the plane's window many times, Mike decided to turn his shoulder into a pillow.


Mike put Angel's head on his warm shoulder. Looking at Angel's face, Mike kissed Angel's hair and stroked her gently.
