Anger, Grief, and Coral Reefs...

 


In the Kim house Ruka struggles with the death of both her parents. She gives birth to a little boy they name Soojin and while she has her hands entirely full with a job and the boys, she misses having a big family like she did when she was younger. She sees Asa with her sprawling acres of land and four children and wishes she had that too. 


Jihoon continues to have issues dealing with his grief. Just like with his own parents and with Tatsuya he becomes angry all the time. Ruka pushes him to do some grief counseling, but he comes home even angrier and tells her it was a waste of time! With their inheritance from Ako's estate they move to a larger home in Senbamachi, closer to the center of town.



They decide to spend some time apart and see if it helps them heal. Ruka visits her brothers in Chestnut Ridge. While she's there she gets some exciting news--she's pregnant!!!



She spends a week or two with Jimin and Taeyang before heading back to Mt. Komorebi. The sunshine here is so nice...Senbamachi always feels so gloomy. She wonders how her father felt growing up there as a boy.



Back home Ruka accidentally starts a fire when her mind starts wandering while she's making dinner. Luckily the mistake is expensive but not harmful! 



Jihoon takes up another new hobby--bonsai grooming! It doesn't last long though and he is headed for burnout. Luckily he has another work trip right around the corner, this time to Sulani! Ruka hopes the time in the sunshine will help his moods.



 While he's gone she decides to try to get out more. It's summer, she is carrying her first little girl and she wants to really see what the city is all about. She has been going through photo albums of Tatsuya's childhood and she wants to try to visit the places of his youth.



There really is so much beauty right outside her door! Trees, waterfalls, the Senbamachi River...just a short walk from home is a wonderful market where Ruka tries some local food. Maybe life here isn't so bad! Maybe she just needs a new perspective!



On a whim Jihoon joins a group of co-workers in Sulani to do some scuba lessons. He loves it so much he decides to join a dive club!



Being underwater makes him forget all his stress and problems! He wishes he could stay here and dive all the time! He could never convince Ruka to move to Sulani though...could he?



Jihoon returns just in time to see the birth of their baby girl, Yuna. Ruka feels her family is complete and is looking forward to getting to know more about Senbamachi and finally advance to the top of her career. Jihoon is contemplating a different life...a slow, sunny, sandy life in Sulani. Can he convince Ruka to pursue her high school dream of being a marine biologist in sunny Sulani? Is diving really what he loves most or will this be another short term hobby? Time will tell...
