KRYSTAL'S POV

I try hard to keep my eyes closed because I don't want to wake up just yet but it's becoming harder and harder so I open my eyes slowly only to be greeted by blinding white.

Where am I? Is this the after life?

"You're in the hospital." A strangely familiar voice tells me.

I turn to the side carefully and finally get to see the face that I've missed so much.

"Nina... Is it true that you are me?"

"I didn't believe it in the beginning either but after looking back, all the signs were there."

"So now that I know you're not real... aren't you supposed to disappear?"

"You want me to leave so bad huh?"

"N-No! Of course not but isn't that how it normally works?"

"Yes, it is.

But I came back to tell you one last thing."

"What is it?"

"I still love you."

"Nina... We're the same person.

There's no way we can be together."

"So you're still doubting our love."

"No Nina I'm not.

Look, I still love you, too. I'll always love you.

For others you may not exist but to me... you are real.

Our feelings are real.

But for how long can we keep living until the hatred of the other people slowly kills us?"

"Soojung... I thought about it a lot and it seems like there's only one way."

"Tell me" I say desperately.

With a hard smile on Nina's face she slowly pulls out a gun.

"In the real world shadow and owner may be one but in a parallel universe they are two individuals.

Our love will never be accepted in this world so let's escape into another.

Please, let me do this."

"You don't have to beg you know." I giggle since I know that Nina likes it.

"Let's be together forever."

I look at the face of my lover and can't help but think that she's the most beautiful person I've ever seen.

She smiles her brightest smile and at that moment I know that I'll never be happier.

I finally see her pulling the trigger and I hear the shot but I don't feel the pain anymore.

Our love is wrong, unrealistic and maybe even sick.

But love is love.

And no love is

Perfect.
