Chapter 29

In Time You'll Love

Dear Jonghyun,

When I heard of Kibum and Minho's engagement I knew you would be at least twice as shocked as I. My initial thought was of how this might be the event to finally trigger the reality to be set in your mind. I thought it might be good for you, because finally you would realize Kibum was never interested in you. However, my next thought was that this shock could also trigger the negative within you. That's why I rushed over to your home as soon as I could, but it was far too late. I suppose my invitation to the wedding must've been lost in the mail for a while, because when I found you every part was as cold as if left outside to freeze amongst the snow. I'm sure you'd laid there untouched for days. How awful it must be that your passing wasn't noticed immediately. Normally I would've been at your place, since I had taken to spending every night with you, but I was out trying to put the moves on Minho. You must've felt miserable. Both of your companions left you for Minho. I hope you know that I did it for you. I successfully slept with the scumbag in an effort to split the soon to be wed couple up. I also dropped scandalous hints around Kibum to arouse suspicion, and I believe I have planted the seeds of doubt. If only you hadn't been so quick to end it. If you would've given yourself time to see what great work I've done then you wouldn't have been so distraught.

Even though I'm frustrated I can't be mad at you for this. The one truly at fault for all of this is Kibum. I read the letters left on your desk from him. All this time I thought you were just creepily admiring him from afar and sending love letters of pure devotion to him without a response in return like I have been doing, but to see how he led you on like that only to crush you sickens me. He merely toyed with you as if your soul bearing was a joke. I understand now that you were not as strange or as crazy as me. You were merely the victim of highly unfair deception. Crimes such as these should be given capital punishment as a sentence for the murdering done of one's psyche. Kibum is no better than his rotten jailbird fiancé. Although what could we have expected? It isn't really an shock that evil gets along with evil just fine. For this, I will serve him up what he owes, since no one else will.

I had once planned that I would join you in the afterlife whenever you passed on, because I knew I could not make it on my own. Seperation from you would surely be the death of me anyways, so I had decided to make it quick. Now my plans must change though. My hands may not rest until they've delivered the justice needed to put you at peace, my poor love. I shall honor you by claiming your heart back from the devil. To do that means that I must slay it first, and that won't be easy, but I shall stay devoted to you until I finally meet my own end. Wait for me there in the afterlife, for I will join you soon, and we'll live happily ever after. I write this last letter now to you as a document of my promise. I know that you will never see it yourself, but hopefully the heavens will see my good intentions and forgive me for all that I am about to do. I vow to bring back what has become lost. Only you and I shall ever know what that truly means.

Sincerely,

Taemin ;)

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?
