Karina went out to dry herself in front of the mirror, eventually noticing the reflection of a room behind. Is it the same room with pictures before. Karina went in and turned on the lights; getting surprised because even though nothing has changed in Winter's apartment, a lot has changed in this room.

All the pictures have been rearranged. There are also additional pictures from Winter's Gampo and Bali trip. But above all that, what really caught Karina's attention is the new picture frame in the center. It wasn't Minju anymore.

Minju's frame has-been placed on the side. This time the picture of a woman -

-although not looking at the camera --- that has a heart melting smile drawn on her face. The shot was taken in a beach-like background.

"Karina?"

Karina turned around and saw Winter already peeking from the door.

"Oh, umm.." Winter lightly scratched her eyebrow, somewhat embarrassed at what Karina had seen. "The, uh, food is ready."

"What's this, Winter

"Umm, a picture.. of you..?"

"And why do you have a picture of me hanging in here?"

Getting more embarrassed at the situation, Winter hugged Karina from behind around her waist and kissed the side of her head. "Uhm, well, don't I have the right to put my girlfriend's picture in my room?"

Karina smiled as she looks back at her picture. "Since when was this displayed here?"

"Right after the Gampo trip."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. I can't resist putting that picture there. Your smile is so charming and radiant. It is a perfect shot."

Karina turned to look at her picture again, holding Winter's face with her hand.

"I always love seeing your sweet smile, Karina. Always."

"And you always give me another reason to fall for you even more," said Karina, turning to Winter.

"Of course. Making you fall out of love is the last thing I have in mind now. I just hope there won't be a need for me to change that picture again anymore."

Karina held Winter's face with both her hands and looked at her sweetly. "Don't worry, you won't."

After dinner (which is not boiled eggs by the way), the couple settled on the couch to watch a romantic comedy film. Karina is sitting upright with Winter's head comfortably resting on her lap. She is getting carried away with the movie, noticing that Winter has already dozed off. She wouldn't have found out until she asked a question that the latter didn't respond to.

"Winter!"

Winter woke up after Karina jiggled her. "W-what?"

"Are you seriously going to sleep on me?"

"No, I'm not, I just-" Winter got up after she noticed Karina is already pouting.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was too tired, plus your hand on my head is very relaxing."

"Hmp. If I'd known you're just going to sleep early I should've gone home instead."

Winter wrapped an arm around Karina. "No. I'm not going to sleep yet. We're going to stay up late watching movies, right?"

"Hmp. Admit it. You just don't like the movie I picked."

Winter couldn't answer. She's never a fan of chick flicks. But since Karina was too excited to watch it earlier, Winter agreed right away. She just didn't think that she'll get bored with it, and worse it put her to sleep.
