{ THERE’S STILL US, THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME }
A WEEK LATER ** CEMENTARY
On the finely made gold coffin decorated with flowers was Cody’s portrait sitting on it.
Trace, Kris, Amelia and Linda were standing in front of the coffin, cladded in black. The gloominess on their faces were not hidden despite the dark shades they were putting on. It was definitely a heavy loss on their part.
It’s still hard to believe it’s true even if it is. Since the incident happened everything has never been the same again.
The news broke even before they could perform that night and they couldn’t perform. Other band group was crowned winner for the first time in history.
Kelly and Tanya are still on the long run and no one knows where they are.
Meanwhile, Ricky was outside the cemetery in his car. He couldn’t go into the building to see Cody’s face for the last time. He felt it was his fault Cody died and he just couldn’t accept the fact that Cody was gone for real.
“Ricky…” Lily who was sitting next to him, called his name softly and he closed his eyes, letting the tears slid down his cheeks freely.
Lily placed her hand on his shoulder, pulling him into a tight and comforting hug, and he weep on her shoulder.

NIGHT TIME~UNKNOWN LOCATION
A masked guy could be seen watching the news of Cody’s death on the big screen TV. He clenched his jaw as he watched it, his eyes darkened with dangerous emotions as they talked about the investigation of his death.
He turned off the TV and dropped the remote on the table. Just then, the doorbell rang. He went to get it, but before that, he checked the camera to see it was Tanya at the door before opening.
“Let’s go. I made sure I wasn’t suspicious.” She said and the guy scoffed, going back into house.
Tanya got in as well, shutting the door behind.
“Where did you come in through?” He asked huskily.
“The underground garage, just like you said.” She replied.
“Let’s go.” He said and walking out with his bag which was already packed.
Immediately he opened the door, he was greeted by the cops who were at the door.
“$h|t!….” He clicked his tongue and made to shut the door swiftly but the cop at the front was fast to put his leg on the way before he could completely shut the door.
“It’s over for you, Kelly. Just give yourself up” one of the cops said, pointing a gun at his head.
Tanya was shaking in fear.
Kelly and Tanya didn’t bring guns with them because it’s impossible to smuggle a gun onto a boat to another country.
Kelly started walking toward them, and the cops thought he was giving himself up. But suddenly, he grabbed Tanya, using force to smash a bottle of vodka on the ground. Then he grabbed a piece of broken glass and held it to her neck.
“Try $h00ting, and I’ll really stab her” he yelled, clearly becoming more deranged by the minute.
“Would you rather ki|| me than give yourself up?” Tanya cried. “Please don’t do this! Let’s just go with them.”
I’m not going anywhere with them! I’m not going to jail!” he yelled.
“You can’t make me!” Kelly’s eyes were wild with anger and fear.
Tanya could feel the cold glass pressed against her skin, and she was terrified that he would really hurt her.
“No! I’m never going to jail because of this! No!!!” one of the cops suddenly shot at his arm and he released Tanya, falling to the ground and groaning in pain.
Tanya quickly moved away from him. One of the cops cuffed her before she could make another move.
“I’m never giving myself up like her!” Kelly yelled and tried to run off, but before he could take more than a few steps, the cops started $h00ting at him, hitting him with at least six bullets. He fell to the ground.
Kelly’s body lay motionless on the ground, blood pooling around him. Tanya stood there in shock, unable to process what had just happened.
The cops rushed to him, and one of them checked his pulse.
“He’s dead,” the cop confirmed.
Tanya was led away by the cops,still in a state of shock.

NEXT DAY~ROSES & PETALS….
Ms. Rose was setting up the flowers in their places when Amelia burst into the shop, her face a picture of rage.
“Amelia!” Ms. Rose exclaimed, pulling her into a warm embrace. But Amelia pulled away quickly.
“It’s been so long since I last saw you! How are you doing?” Ms. Rose asked.
“What is this?” Amelia interrupted, holding up a piece of paper.
Ms. Rose’s eyes widened as she read the DNA results. The paper confirmed that Amelia was 99% comparable to hers.
“I was so curious after Trace noticed how I look like you, I couldn’t believe it” Amelia said, her voice shaking.
“He told me to get a DNA test, and he’d help me. I refused, but he insisted, and I finally agreed. Now I’m finding out that the woman who left me all those years ago was someone who’s been with me all this time pretending to be someone else. Did you ever plan to tell me?”
Ms. Rose’s eyes filled with tears.
“Amelia, I can explain” She began.
“No, I don’t want to hear it… All this time, you knew, and you didn’t tell me. You let me work for you, let me think you were just a friend. How could you?”
Ms. Rose sank into a nearby chair, her shoulders slumped in defeat
“Please listen to me….
Amelia turned on her heel and stormed out of the shop, slamming the door behind her.
Ms. Rose sat there in silence, her heart breaking.

A MONTH LATER ** AN ICE CREAM SHOP
“Why do you love bringing me here?” Lily asked Rudy as he hand her the ice cream he got for her.
“Aren’t I allowed to take you out to nice places anymore?” He replied with a question which Lily chuckled at her.
“I’m not saying no, but I’ve got a boyfriend now so I can’t keep going out with you every time. I got a jealous boyfriend remember.” She smirked and Rudy touched his chest immediately, pretending to hurt.
“Ouch, that broke my heart. So I can no longer get to talk to my friend again coz of her boyfriend.” He pouted.
“Likewise, or have you forgotten Minnie?” Lily smirked and he nodded smiling.
“Yeah… Well, that’s not it. I brought you out here coz it might probably be our last time together that’s why I wanted us to have ice cream together for the last time.” He said and Lily looked at him swiftly.
“Last time? What do you mean crab? Where are you going?” She asked anxiously, all at once.
“Calm down, I’m not going on exile. You pretend to h@ťě me, but now you’re worried I’m leaving.” He smirked and Lily smacked his head.
“Shut up! The fact doesn’t change I h@ťě you, still where are you going?” She asked and he shrugged.
“I proposed to Minnie, so we’re leaving the country. We’ll get married there.”
“That’s one funny joke” Lily laughed, but her smile faded when she saw Rudy’s serious expression.
“You’re being serious?” she asked,her voice barely audible.
Rudy nodded.
“But what about me?” she asked, her voice breaking.
“I’m sorry” Rudy held her hand and she finally broke into tears. Rudy wiped it off and hugged her but she only cry more.
“We can always call each other and do video chats. I can even visit you during the holidays if you want. I promise to stay in touch” He promised.
“It won’t be the same” Lily protested.
“Can’t I at least talk to Minnie about it? I’ll stay out of your life if she’s still insecure about me.”
“It’s not about you,Lily” Rudy said gently.
“It’s our choice. And she’s already gotten over her suspicions. In fact, she wants us to meet up before we leave.”
Lily sighed, her shoulders slumping. “You always know what to say to make me feel better.”
Rudy smiled and squeezed her hand.
“You really don’t look your best when you cry, you know that?” he teased.
“I h@ťě you!” she exclaimed, rolling her eyes.
“I love you, though” he said, sincerity in his voice.
“I love you, too. Don’t you dare find someone to replace me!” she replied, throwing her arms around him again.
“I promise, I could never find anyone like you ” he gave a reassuring smile.

✯ ONE YEAR LATER ✯ SEOUL,SOUTH KOREA ✯
It’s been a year since all the events happened in their life, including Cody’s death.
Moonlight Pitch disbanded and each idol was focus in their new ambition.
Trace is now a solo singer and the most popular. Maybe because he was the only MP member who was still in the music industry.
Kris owns the biggest dance company in California, how it grew and became comfortably at the top in just two years remains amazing. He is currently into acting and has featured with Linda, both playing couple roles in alot of movies over the year.
And less I forget, they are married now and even have a three months old daughter, Juniper.
Amelia forgave Miss Rose and they were living as mother and daughter. She and Trace are still together and very much happy.
Tanya was sentenced to life imprisonment and she has been cooling her @zz in jail still unremorseful. Truly, a leopard never changes it spot.
Even months after Leo’s death, Ricky couldn’t be himself and always blamed himself.
This made Lily suggest they move away from California, since the city would only remind him of his pain and make it harder for him to move on.
Fortunately, Ricky agreed, and they moved to kore with their mothers, Jiwoo and Rowena. Ricky brought a big mansion for the two woman in Busan since they quickly bound well and another for himself and Lily in Seoul.
Vivian (Leo’s sister) is now okay and she’s currently staying with them.
Lily’s passion for flowers never died, so he opened a gigantic shop for her near their house shortly after they moved there. The shop quickly became famous, thanks to the influence of Ricky’s past career as a singer.
Even after he quit singing, his international fans still adored him and often begged Lily to arrange for them to see him.
Ricky was standing in front of the park, watching the children play, when he heard someone singing behind him. He turned around to see Lily holding a cake with his name on it.
“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, Jun hee! Happy birthday to you!” she sang.
“You remember my birthday?” he asked, surprised.
“Of course I remember such a special day! And I know you didn’t want to celebrate last year because of what happened with Leo” Lily said. Ricky’s face turned pale as he remember.
“So what do you wish for on your birthday?” Lily asked.
“I can’t tell you, because it’s a surprise!” Ricky smiled.
“Well, I have a wish too” She said.
“What is it?” He asked, curiously.
“I wish you’d go back to singing again” She said with hope in her eyes.
“I can’t promise anything right now, but maybe when I’m ready to accept that Leo is really gone, and when I get my voice back, I’ll start singing again” Ricky said.
“Thank you you so much” She gave him a peck.
“I didn’t promise anything yet,” Ricky chuckled.
“At least I have something to hold onto,” she said, kissing him again. He returned the kiss, but she broke it off after a moment.
“Here!” Lily handed him her phone. A video was playing, showing Kris, Linda, Amelia, and Trace. Even Mr. Cooper were all singing “Happy Birthday” and wishing him well.
“Why does it look like they’re in our house?” Ricky asked as he watched the video call.
“Because they actually are in Korea, in our house,” Lily replied, taking the phone from him and turning it off. She set the cake aside and gave him her full attention.
“I know I should have asked you before inviting them but I knew you wouldn’t have agreed to it, and they all missed you so much. I’m sorry for not asking first” She bit her lips.
“It’s okay. I miss them too. I’m glad they’re here… I can’t wait to see them again” He smiled.
“That’s great but before that, I’ve another surprised for you” Lily added.
“What is it?” Ricky asked, his curiosity piqued.
“I’m pregnant. We’re going to have a baby!” Lily broke the news.
Ricky’s eyes bulged immediately. “Oh my goodness! Are you serious?” he screamed, the joy evident in his eyes.
“Does that mean I’m going to be a father? There’s really a baby in there?” he asked, his voice full of emotion as he touched her belly.
“Of course, and I’m going to be a mother!” Lily squealed with delight.
“Thank you, Lily! Thank you so much for giving me a reason to smile again. I love you so much, I love you!” He threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly.
“I love you, too, Ricky! You’ll always have a special place in my heart, my idol!” she said, kissing his face and hugging him back.
For a moment, they just stood there, enjoying the closeness and the warmth of each other’s embrace.
