You and I, in love, as we were always meant to be.  Madly, deeply, intensely, and passionately. Always and forever.  Some love stories never end. ---- Ravenwolf

"Pearl, you didn't realize what you had done to me, the effect on your appearance in my life has done something special to my heart. And I know, to you, I'm just another one of those people whom you meet along the way. I'm not extraordinary to you, for you are always the stronger one even to the male species. Although, sometimes you unknowingly make me feel special, or maybe you treat everyone the same way and I misread it. But still, my heart pounds every time I see you," says Kim to Pearl.  ​​

"Loverboy, are confessing to me?" Pearl asks Kim as she stared at his gray-colored eyes.

Then the music shifts to another song, this time it is the right-hand guys who are singing. The song I Wanna Grow Old With You (youtube.com/watch?v=0LHmevWVvpc) by Westlife, then followed by I knew I loved you by Savage Garden (youtube.com/watch?v=jjnmICxvoVY)  was heard. Pearl chuckled and Kim furrows his brows upon hearing her soft chuckle. "Lady Luna, she trained all men and women of HADES to be proficient in singing and playing a musical instrument. Even in dancing, she wants us to have other talents rather than the talents that we already have like torturing, killing, and beating another person. She changes so many protocols and rules in HADES. Master Lawrence approves everything that she wants, for she becomes our Masters's sunshine in the darkest part of his life. She is like a daughter to him" Pearl explains. 

"So the boys sing also? Their voice is good and soothing to the ears. MY Pearl, to answer your question….yes, I am confessing my feelings to you. And that song is my own unspoken words for you Mi Amore" Kim replied to Pearls' previous question. 

"If only I was brave enough to press the send button and be by your side in your past life, I mean, way back from the years when you and Luna became friends. I will surely protect you from any harm and will love you. I still want to be your friend first before becoming your boyfriend then-husband. I am so glad that we are slowly becoming friends, and tonight I'm scared of ruining what we have, this bond, the friendship, and of the aftereffects those three words will cause, to say, you how much I love you. So, in my heart, I'll always love you, hoping you will love me back someday, although I know you won't, not until I have proven myself to you and even to the whole HADES. I'm stupid. Am I not?" Kim narrates everything to Pearl. 

"Kim, I have a dark past. My nightmares still linger on me, the right-hand guys are the only men I trust the most except for our bosses. Lady Luna had seen the worst time in my life, she also helps me to overcome all those phobias. She told me her story that's why my grudges towards your best friend Louie Chen are very deep. I want to torture him until he begs me to kill him. We just didn't expect that there are events in our lives to be turned upside down. But I am happy to see the Ladies of the Court has finally met their lifetime partners as well as our Knights. Even Eros and Soteira found their future wives, the right-hand guys are like my big brothers' and they will kill anyone who will hurt me. Kim, for me, love….Love isn't always texting someone and planning impromptu dinner dates. I actually hate dinner dates in fancy restaurants, but rather I want to have a simple Netflix movie marathon while eating pizza, popcorn, and drinking beer. And I don't like love or romance movie, but rather I love to watch action, suspense, horror or comedy type of movies. 

Love for me, it isn't telling someone how you have fun times together, but how many times you would like to be with them in their lives even at the lowest time.  Love is being there for them, if being by their side means having to make a sacrifice, having to walk over the thorns, and even to face death, you are willing to be there and even become the sacrificial lamb. Can you do that for me, Mr. Kim Tang," says, Pearl to Kim who seems looking at her very intently. Kim was dumbstruck upon hearing her words. The unspoken words that she kept from her heart, and he didn't expect that the woman he loves is very romantic. 

"Pearl, there's nothing more priceless than loving someone on the days when they forget to love themselves, I know there is a moment in your life that you did forget to love yourself. In love, it's not all auspicious, rather, it's a path full of puddles. But when you are in love, you cross all of them anyway, and I know we will both cross on it and we will still be together until the end of our times. And even though there is a vulnerability in our relationship, we will fix it. The thing about weakness is that the more you feel comfortable with a person, the more you want to share with them. And when you love someone, you share what kills you and what makes you alive, and they do the same. Being in love is no rocket science, but it is a magic and a whole complicated kind of thing but we will overcome it. Love might be messy, it makes you desperate, but most of all, it makes you the happiest, and a contented person once you feel wanted and you know someone will always have your back. Nothing is beautiful and easy in a relationship anyway. When you are in love, you will do the things you'd never do in your sane mind, you'd move mountains like you are kicking a pebble, you'll do the most enchanting things without realizing, you'll stay. This whole thing is a platitude, it will make you cringe, but when you are in love, you do all of the aforementioned anyway" Kim explains furthermore. Pearls' was already in tears upon hearing his words. 

The right hand-guy saw the tears in Pearl's eyes and they all got alarmed, but when they saw Francois and Dimitri shook their heads notifying them that Pearl is just fine, they compose themselves but they are already glaring daggers at Kim. 

"Oh My! Our little angel is now a Lady" Princess Isabele uttered, and it was heard by Yuan and the rest of the Knights together with their fiancées'. Alexei, Marco, and Xavier laugh. While the Wu triplets just shook their head upon how the Knights and even Princess Isabele talks about Pearls' soon-to-be love life. 

"Ethan, now I believe that love happens to you when you least expect it. And now this is happening to our friend.  It's like waking up one morning and declaring that you're in love, even though you just met each other for the first time, or shall I say even with a simple hello or a smile. I know that Kim and Pearl will have both the chemistry," says Louie, who is watching Kim and Pearl at the center of the dance floor. Ethan, who is also watching already sensing the bitterness in Louie's tone. He was once again on the stage of regrets in his life. Regrets of letting go of Luna from his grasps. 

Ethan and Emerald suddenly sighed deeply in unison, Ethan suddenly looks at Emerald who is now staring at Louie. "Louie I know it hurts, it hurts you a lot. But bro' it's time to move on. Luna is happy now. You want to believe when you say that you don't want to hurt Luna way back then, but what did you do? Louie, you still hurt her five years ago or even when we are still in college, our ignorance actually hurt her and the unsaid words still hurt you, especially now that she rejected you," said Ethan.

Louie went silent as he still continues watching his other best friend holding the woman he loves. The thing that he can't do in the future.
