Chapter 7

In Time You'll Love

Dear Kibum,

I hope that you can reach into the sweetness within your soul and find forgiveness for me. I have fallen victim to sin. It is true what you've heard. The little incubus came to me at my weakest, and persuaded me into bed with him. I feel so lost and ashamed now, because what I've done has gone against everything I said. I had promised to never give in, because I would be strong enough for the both of us always. In the end I am a liar, and a hypocrite. I can't blame you if you never wish to speak to me again. Although, I could never blame you for anything. I still can never be mad at you. Angels just have that peaceful and perfect aura around them that calms all of mankind with a simple graceful glance of those enchantingly beautiful eyes.

I am so deeply grateful that you've written back to me. I spiralled downward into near insanity as I waited by the window every day watching for the mailman. I would sprint outside to collect my mail whenever it came, always hopeful that you would write back one day. Now that you've written back to me I feel the upmost relief. I am sane once again, and ecstatic at the thought that you may write to me again in the future. I'll do just as you say, because I have confidence now that you are receiving and reading my letters. I will keep writing to you even if it takes years to get a response, because I am forever yours.

I do understand how you must feel bad for Minho. I'll try hard not to be so jealous, but understand that it is hard for me too. Can you not just drop him off at a mental asylum where he can get proper treatment for all his issues? I slightly admire your need to tend to his wounds though. You always seem to want to fix the world any way you can, which is a wonderful idea really, but you're a little too naive. Saving the rainforest by planting trees or donating a few dollars to cancer research is just fine, but taking a criminal into your home? He may not even want to be fixed. Minho probably is just taking advantage of your kind nature to get closer and closer to you. Then when he gets what he wants from you, your innocence, he'll move on to the next naive dreamer he finds. It is so frustrating for me to watch the love of my life go down the path that I know ultimately leads to heartbreak. I just hope that when you fall, you won't fall hard enough that I can't pick you back up again.

Anyways, after I returned your dog, who had run away from home and spent a few days living in my backyard, you invited me out to dinner as a thank you. I do hope that Minho wasn't invited this time. I would much rather stay at home tending to the roses on my desk. Being dead, they don't need much tending, but I have been tinkering with some compounds. Each day a test a few, trying to revive them. I know it's crazy, but I feel that if I can bring them back, then maybe I can revive our lost love as well. We've grown so apart lately. Taemin pulled me far from you, and Minho carried you off to lock you away in his dungeon of delusions. Wouldn't it be nice if I could revive plants though? I'm sure that'd bring such joy to your face. You always feel the greatest sadness ever experienced when a plant dies. If they could be brought back to life, and live eternally, I am sure you'd be overcome with enough happiness that you'd cry tears laced with sweetness rather than salt.

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: This is making me cry, its so sad and beautiful. I swear, this is possibly the saddest fic ive ever read, its just so beautiful. I cant deal with this, i dont know what I'll do when Kibum finds him. The only words for this are tragicaly beautiful.

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?
