Part 1:
“Here Mr. Han, she left this for you.” His apprentice gave him an envelope.
“Thanks,” he replied as he took the envelope. He settled down a on a stone bench under the peach blossom trees. It’s about mid March when the spring’s fragrance was circulating the air again with its new blooms and blossoms. Min Jae stared at the envelope as he slowly opened it. He revealed a piece of paper and unfolds it as a peach blossom fell out of it. Min Jae looked up at the peach tree as he whispered… “A token”…

(A years ago…)
“Mr. Choi, you can leave me here, I want to be alone for a while.” Mr. Choi stopped the wheel chair under a peach tree as he pulled down the breaks and left Min Jae alone. Min Jae reached up and touched his eyes as they were bandaged; he quickly had a flash back of how it happened.

It was about ten o’clock at night as Min Jae was returning home from a friend’s birthday party. Outside was pouring like crazy and the roads were very slippery. Min Jae was still on the phone with his apprentice, Mr. Choi.
“I want everything done soon. The sooner the better…I’ll be home in a little while, it’s pouring like crazy outside…we’ll discuss more when I get home, bye.” Min Jae hung up on his apprentice as all he could remember was someone crossing before him and then everything became a blur…

Back to reality, Min Jae couldn’t still believe that he’s now blind. The doctors had told him that he will soon be able to see again, but he’ll have to wait for a pair of donors. Min Jae sat quietly under the peach tree just soaking in the early spring days.
“Hello, are you Mr. Han?”
“Who’s there?” Min Jae asked.
“My name is Sung Soo Ha; I’m your personal nurse.”
“Thanks, but I’m better off alone for now.”
Soo Ha walked closer to him. “Don’t you love the smell of early spring days, when the flowers are barely blooming and the fragrances are filling up the air…”
Min Jae turns towards her. “How is it important when I can’t even see anything? Right now, I feel like I’m lost somewhere within darkness.”
“Don’t look to it in such a negative way Mr. Han. Stay positive because there is still determination somewhere in your soul that is waiting for that day. Don’t give up hope just yet.” Soo Ha reached for a peach blossom and picked it off the branch. She open Min Jae’s palm and placed it there, “Here, this is a little token of determination Mr. Han.”
Min Jae smiled and touched the little petals of the peach blossom. “Thanks, Nurse Sung.”
Min Jae couldn’t see how this nurse looked like, but she was generous and so that made her beautiful in his mind. He was quite happy that such people were willing to help a blind person like him.

(Three Months Passed By…)
Soo Ha took Min Jae out into the court yard of the hospital again as they stopped by the peach tree. The petals had fallen and were blown through; it’s only a few more months until the little peaches are ripened. The bandaged that covered Min Jae’s eyes were taken off; now his eyes were exposing to the fresh air.
“Let’s settle here first, I know you like to be alone for half the time and since I still got some errands to run, I’ll be right back,” Soo Ha said.
“Okay.” Soo Ha left as Min Jae settled there alone and again he was just soaking in the mid summer days of June.
After quite a long time, Min Jae began to worry about Soo Ha. “It’s been an hour; Soo Ha should be back by now. What’s taking her so long?” Min Jae sat still as he heard some foots steps coming closer.
“Happy birthday to you…happy birthday to you…happy birthday…happy birthday…hap….py….birth….day……to……you…” Soo Ha sung as she walked over with the cake held in her palms, “Happy birthday Min Jae.”
Min Jae smiled. “Thanks Soo Ha, no one ever done something this special for me before.”
“Okay, make a wish and blow out the candles.”
Min Jae closed his eyes as he made a wish and blew out the candles.
“Yea….,” Soo Ha cheered as she sat the cake aside, “so what did you wish for Min Jae?”
“If I tell you then it won’t come true anymore.” Soo Ha looked away as Min Jae added, “but there is a way.”
“How?” Soo Ha asked as she lean closer to him.
“Hmm…” Min Jae turned his cheek towards her, “a kiss on the cheek can reveal that wish.”
“I don’t want to know what your wish is anymore. Rather it is kept a secret only.”
“Come on…I know you wanna know too.” Min Jae grabbed her hand as he was boasting like a little kid to her.
“No…no…” she kept repeating.
“Come on…how about giving it as a birthday gift instead?” Min Jae asked, but still she didn’t answer him. “Okay, I give up. This birthday isn’t too happy after all.”
Soo Ha smiled as she saw Min Jae’s reaction. She giggled a little.
“It’s not funny.”
“But, you’re boasting like a little kid who wants candy.” Soo Ha looked at him as he turns away. “Come here my big baby…” She leaned over and gave him a kissed on the cheek, “Happy Birthday, Min Jae...” She smiled as he smiled back to her too.
