Chapter 1

Kim Soo-jin was a successful business woman in her early thirties. She had everything she could ask for - a high-paying job, a luxurious apartment, and a supportive family. However, she had a secret that she kept hidden from everyone. She had a rare heart condition that could cause her sudden death at any moment. She had been living with this condition for years, and she had learned to accept her fate.

One day, she met a man named Lee Min-ho at a business conference. Lee Min-ho was a charming and handsome CEO of a successful tech company. They hit it off instantly, and they started dating. Soo-jin was hesitant to reveal her condition to him, but she eventually did. To her surprise, Min-ho didn't run away. Instead, he promised to stay by her side no matter what.

Chapter 2

Soo-jin and Min-ho's relationship blossomed, and they fell deeply in love. However, Soo-jin couldn't shake off the fear of leaving Min-ho behind if she were to pass away suddenly. She decided to take a break from work and travel to Jeju Island to clear her mind.

While exploring the island, Soo-jin stumbled upon a hidden garden. The garden was overgrown, and it looked like it hadn't been tended to in years. However, there was something about the garden that captivated Soo-jin. She felt a sense of peace and serenity that she had never felt before. She decided to buy the garden and restore it to its former glory.

Chapter 3

Soo-jin hired a team to help her restore the garden. She spent all her time and energy on the project, and she found solace in the peacefulness of the garden. Min-ho visited her on the island, and he was amazed by the transformation of the garden. He could see how much the garden meant to Soo-jin, and he decided to propose to her.

Soo-jin was overjoyed and said yes. However, she still couldn't shake off the fear of leaving Min-ho behind. She decided to undergo a risky heart surgery to increase her chances of survival. The surgery was successful, and Soo-jin was given a new lease on life.

Chapter 4

Soo-jin and Min-ho got married in the secret garden, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Soo-jin was grateful for every moment she had with Min-ho, and she cherished their time together. However, fate had other plans.

One day, Soo-jin collapsed in the garden. She was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. Soo-jin had passed away peacefully in the garden that she had worked so hard to restore. Min-ho was devastated, and he felt like he had lost everything.

Chapter 5

Months passed, and Min-ho couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness. He decided to visit the secret garden, hoping to find some solace. As he walked through the garden, he noticed something different. The garden was blooming, and it looked more beautiful than ever before. He realized that Soo-jin had left him a gift - the gift of a beautiful garden that would live on in her memory.

Min-ho decided to honor Soo-jin

Chapter 6

Min-ho found comfort in the secret garden and decided to spend more time there. He hired a team to help him maintain the garden and make it even more beautiful. He also started to volunteer at a local hospital, where he met a young girl named Eun-ji who was battling leukemia. Min-ho was reminded of Soo-jin's struggle with her heart condition, and he felt a strong connection with Eun-ji.

Chapter 7

Min-ho started to visit Eun-ji regularly at the hospital, bringing her gifts and spending time with her. He would tell her stories about Soo-jin and the secret garden, and Eun-ji would listen intently. Min-ho found a sense of purpose in helping Eun-ji and other children at the hospital.

One day, Min-ho brought Eun-ji to the secret garden. She was amazed by its beauty and felt a sense of peace that she hadn't felt in a long time. Min-ho decided to dedicate a portion of the garden to the children at the hospital, where they could come and find joy and solace in nature.

Chapter 8

As time passed, Min-ho felt himself healing from the pain of losing Soo-jin. He realized that he could honor her memory by continuing her legacy of spreading love and kindness. He started a foundation in Soo-jin's name, which focused on improving access to healthcare and education for children in underprivileged communities.

The foundation became a huge success, and Min-ho found a new sense of purpose in his life. He knew that Soo-jin would be proud of him.

Chapter 9

Years passed, and the secret garden became a beloved landmark on Jeju Island. People from all over the world came to visit the garden, and many of them found solace and healing in its beauty. The garden became a symbol of love, hope, and resilience, and Min-ho was grateful for the role it played in his life.

As Min-ho walked through the garden, he felt a sense of peace and contentment that he hadn't felt in a long time. He knew that Soo-jin's memory would live on through the garden and the foundation that he had started in her name. He felt grateful for every moment he had with her and knew that she would always hold a special place in his heart.
