Chapter 45

In Time You'll Love

Dear Diary,

These days I have been such a mess. All I've done is panic since the police dragged Minho away in handcuffs from our porch. I try to put up a strong front for Jay's sake, but I burst into tears every day after sending him off to school. Minho calls me from prison when he can, but that's never enough. He tells me that he was framed. I believe him, but no one else seems to, which frightens me greatly. If the court decides that he is to go back to jail I promised him that I would look after Jay. Minho told me that he doesn't want me to wait for him. He seems to have lost hope already, and if he is without hope then how can I have any? What can I do if the court seems so set on sending Minho to prison for good already?

I guess settling down for a peaceful life with a man I love dearly was never meant to be my destiny. Every time I get close to having everything I've ever wanted everything falls apart in the most ridiculously cruel of ways. I'm almost afraid that if I have a child it will die very young with my luck. I could not bear that kind of loss. Losing Jonghyun already tore me apart so badly that I needed rehab for three years. Now that I'm slowly losing Minho as well I can feel the urges to use coming back. Just a few little pills and all my pain will go away. If I were to lose a child I would be beyond devastated. Life would no longer be worth living at that point. I can't live alone. It's the most dreadful way to live that I could ever imagine. Even if I lived out on the street it wouldn't be that bad if I had a companion, but without human connection I fall apart completely.

It's become so bad lately that Jinki has actually been dropping by every other day to check on me. For him to be concerned enough about me to leave his house, which he rarely ever leaves, means that I look even worse than I feel. I don't want to get sent back to rehab or worse, end up in jail too, but the temptations keep getting stronger. I want to do anything to get the pain to stop. Why should one person ever have to suffer through this much? If I wasn't meant to be a content househusband then what was I made for? What purpose is so unique that only I can serve it, and why must it cost me my happiness? It isn't fair! I never asked for too much. All I want at the very least is a loving husband, yet apparently that is the one thing I may never be allowed to have.

Maybe... This is a punishment of some sort. Did I make the wrong choice by choosing Minho over Jonghyun? Is this fate's way of telling me to go back to him? I suppose that would make sense. We are still technically married after all. Our souls have been bonded eternally, and the bond is trying to pull me back to Jonghyun like a chain. I reached the end of it by becoming so close to Minho, so they took him away to keep me loyal to who I truly belong to. That's what my life has been destined to, waiting around for decades until Jonghyun remembers me or I eventually forget him due to old age. I haven't seen him in a few weeks, because I've been so distraught over Minho's situation. Perhaps I'll go see him tomorrow. Maybe he can soothe my aching heart just by reminding me of the happier days of my life with his existence.

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?
