Summary
It has been years since Francesca has lost her husband and her greatest friend. She has spent much of her time merely existing in the halls of Kilmartin estate, but when a figure from her past returns, she is reminded there is more to life than only surviving.
AKA my take on the Franchaela "why did you leave me" fight and confession. This takes place about three years after season 4.

Summary
Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.
But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.
Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

Summary
“You’re still not drunk enough.”
“Yeah?”
“But I can fix that.”
Cold fingers wrap around either side of Jimin’s jaw. Minjeong’s thumb shifts to tug at the corner of Jimin’s lips, urging them to part. Then, with a firm jerk of her wrist, Minjeong tilts Jimin’s head backwards. She raises the can of beer with her other hand and hovers it over Jimin’s mouth.
“Open up for me, unnie.”

Summary
“I'm not done talking.”
“I'm done listening.”
All of a sudden, her wrist got caught and she was being pulled back. She lost her footing, tripping on her own feet, and before she knew it, she was tumbling into Minjeong.
Their lips touched. Jimin's eyes went wide once she assessed the situation, realizing the compromising position they were currently in.

Summary
“I think that’s how love is supposed to be,” Jimin shrugs, “see, this is the problem. There’s a thin line between bravery and stupidity and you keep on mistaking one for the other.” Jimin tilts her head, pouts a little, and it does nothing good for Minjeong’s heart, “It’s not stupid. It’s brave actually. To know that there’s an endless possibility of you getting hurt multiple times, and still going for it regardless.”
or, Minjeong watches Notting Hill and had some realizations.
