"What are you looking for?" Hanni asked as she put on her make up. Minji had been opening and closing the drawer, the closet, even her jewelry boxes. Ten minutes and she had not found whatever she was searching for.

"My ring. Where is it?"

Hanni increased her brow, "your ring?"

"Yes. Where did you keep it?"

"Why are you suddenly asking for your ring?"

"I want to wear it." Minji pulled another box and took all the contents out.

"Hon, you really have a lot of accessories." Minji lifted some necklaces and rings.

"What are these?"

"It's for investment," Hanni answered while applying the soft pink lipstick on.

"Really? I thought it's your passion for fashion."

"That, too."

Minji chuckled fondly, "so where's my ring?"

"Baby, you don't wear your ring for a reason. Why do you want to wear it today?" Minji paused. She looked blank for a second before she glanced at her wife.

"Is this about Kazuha or do you have secret admirers or something?"

"No. It's not about that at all. I just," she shrugged calmly.

"I just want to feel close to you when I'm not with you."

"We've been married for years, Min. You took it off the day after our wedding day. What is it?"

Minji approached Hanni then bent down to give her a kiss on top of her head. She then rested her chin on Hanni's shoulder, staring at her through the mirror.

"I just want to be close to you.”

It was lunchtime and she had nothing to do. She had finished her meal and the last meeting for today would be at two, so she spared herself some time to relax and see the family album to kill the hour.

She opened the first page – her wedding day. It was around six years ago. The weather was cold, the wind was unforgiving, nevertheless, it was the happiest day of her life. She made a vow to her best friend, a vow she intended to keep for the rest of her life. Her smile was so wide and free. She saw herself in pure joy. She finally made it. She had found the one – her best friend, her soul mate, her lover for infinity and beyond.

It was one heck of a journey. Fairly speaking, she wouldn't have thought that they'd be able to get to this point in the beginning. They were different from head to the root. It was amazing how they managed to adjust and give up their selfishness in order to work it out. There were always new things to be discovered in Minji every single day. She couldn't get enough of her. Minji was simply insatiable.

Then Hanni flipped the next page - Cape Town. Their honeymoon. She enjoyed each second of it to the utmost. Two weeks of private time apparently weren't enough. They spent the first week exploring each other's bodies as if it was their first time. They literally made love all the time, fell asleep after, ordered room service then the circle repeated again and again and again.

Hanni blushed at the memory. Minji could pull the passion out of her effortlessly. In every touch, Minji would leave a tingling sensation of desire and security that could drive her to madness. Minji's kiss was sometimes so slow it frustrated her to no end. She was a perfect lover.

Then came the page of the pregnancy test showing the positive sign. It should have turned out weird but she couldn't care less. She had counted - it was the fourth stick. Fourth was the charm. This picture brought back so many memories of the dullest period. Three times of failure plus unnecessary drama between her and Minji were tough. But getting the triplets had paid off. Three little angels finally came and greeted the world four years ago. What an eternal blessing for her existence.
