Chapter 17

In Time You'll Love

Dear Kibum,

Where do I even begin? I suppose with the card you sent me so crudely in the mail. Why was I to find out about this on your damn wedding invitation? Am I not worth enough for your personal word? How could you not think to tell me? I thought we were the true lovers. You've probably already let him take your ity, and I'm okay with that, but marriage? He can't take you away from me like that. I'm supposed to be your husband. I'm the one you're supposed to walk down the aisle to. is often a mistake, but marriage is a sacred bond. How can you be serious? How could I have let this delusion you're trapped in go so far? Now I MUST take action. Do not try to stop me, because nothing can now.

I bought a gun today. Even though I'm not too sure how to use it, I'll learn soon enough. I told another little tale, this time to Jinki. I told him about my sudden deep interest in collecting guns, appealing to him since I know he happens to be quite the collector himself. After listening to him drone on and on about hunting trips he had taken with his dad in his youth, and how that sparked his love for guns, he finally offered to take me to the shooting range regularly to teach me how to shoot.

We've already gone once together, and this tale has become a reality as well. I find I quite enjoy the feel of the cold steel in my palm. It pairs well with the coldness of the tundra you've brought about inside my heart. As I squeeze the trigger, the little jolt of the kickback excites me. It makes me feel so alive after being dead for so long. Soon I'll master my aim, and then I will be unstoppable. Ever since I discovered such a rush I realized just how right for me it is. Maybe I'll take up hunting as well, because my hand thirsts for blood, begging to be drenched in it. The more wicked the blood the better. Perhaps I should feed it the wickedness that lives inside your house. The wickedness that preys on you and tears you apart bit by bit after numbing you to its torture. Yes, it must be I who frees you from its grasp.

Do not worry for me. I am the valiant knight who shall slay the demon lurking within your heart, and in the end he always gets the fair maiden. I'll be the one to sweep you off your feet and ride off with you into paradise after our vows have been put out for the world to know. Come, be ready to run away with me soon. I'll steal you away from your entrapment, and we'll be off to that exotic dream I told you of. We can do it on the day of your supposed wedding too. Oh how wonderful it will be to see the look of scorn upon Minho's face as I whisk away whom he thought was his new husband to be, face forever stuck that way in eternal torment until it rots away. I can picture it almost perfectly now. I'd love to get a picture of it and keep it around our house as a gag to look back on and jokingly reminisce about one day. Just one month until the wedding. This'll be the last time I sit around waiting. I have grown so weary in mind and heart waiting. The clock is ticking now for Minho. What will his fate be when the clock strikes objection? We'll see in time...

Love,

Jonghyun

Hey! It's been a long while, a year since I finished this! xD Well, I'm taking up writing again, and since this was my most beloved fic, I'd like to start up the sequel soon. I'll set it up as soon as I make the poster/banner (or whatever it's called)

Chapter 50: Why is this so crazy and convoluted and tragic and so freaking awesome? I’ll tell you the truth, I almost stopped reading a few chapters in... I’m glad I didn’t. Now, on to the sequel.

Chapter 52: I don't even know what to say now that it's over, this is all so tragic ans it's bringing me so close to tears because despite everything that happened, Jongkey loved each other. They loved each other so much despite memory losses and people trying to get in between them. They we're... soulmates. Destined to be together. I think that's what soulmates really are. People that are "a perfect fit" for each other, yet things can still change and they can still choose to be with everyone else in this world, they just can't be as happy with them as they would be with their soulmate. And in some cases, you only realise who your soulmate is when it's too late.
I think this story, although sad, is still do incredibly romantic and kind of... encouraging? It surely gives some life advice, in terms of love. You should always tell someone if you like/love them because you don't know how they feel, what they're going through while thinking their feelings are unrequited. Imagine how this story would have ended if Kibum and Jonghyun gat met up more and Kibum had told him that he liked him. And I don't want to think about how many people experience that day by day. Thinking their love is unrequited and therefore giving up and locking themselves away when they could be so happy with the person they have feelings for.

Chapter 48: Oh my god so the makeout session really happened aaaaaa. I was seriously questioning almost everything in Jonghyun's letters after Kibum found him and it turned out that all of the letters were from him but now Kibum's pov explained so much and verified these things and just... This is so tragic. ;;
I'm still trying to figure out what you meant when you said I was gonna like the sequel... that statement has been stuck in my had for a long time...
I can also feel the and approaching fast here... there's not a lot of time left before he finds him... oh god, I don't want this to happen again and again and again... ;;;;

Chapter 47: The 4 of them are in such a complicated relationship. Jong suicides after Ki and Min's marriage, Tae's love is unrequited, Min has cheated on Ki with Tae, and Ki is stuck between his love and his dreams. I wonder if Jin will have anything to do with the upcoming plot or not?
