Sempiternal
Description
"It didn't matter how much I loved her. How better I loved her. For how long I loved her. Nothing of that mattered because she still chose him and not me, even when I opened my heart and offered it to her, still hoping, still being a fool. And even if I know it's futile, even if it makes no difference because she can't look at me... I still love her. Unconditionally. Devotedly. Hopefully. Strongly. Quietly. Distantly. My love for her is as constant as the beating of my heart, as my even breathing at night before I close my eyes and see her smile. My love for Go Mi Nyu is sempiternal." - Kang Shin Woo.
Foreword
I watched "You're Beautiful" very late and joined the fandom immediately and, of course, I felt heartbroken because Shinwoo doesn't get Minam. Totally unfair! His poor heart, how many times did it get broken? As often as mine every time I saw it happen. The problem is that I always thought that her relationship with Tae-Kyung was doomed. As a character he is too prideful, he has too many mummy issues and he's too self-centred. Even after realising his love for her, he still couldn't love her properly (in my opinion). I always saw their relationship as something it wouldn't last, something it would worn out and end badly. But Shinwoo... he always loved her clearly and better from the start. He deserved her. So I'm writing what happens after Minyu comes back from Africa, how her relationship with Tae-Kyung deteriorates and she realises that sometimes you don't fall for the right one, but there's still a second chance.
I apologise in advance because I'm no expert in Korean culture (I'm more experienced with Japanese but these are very different). I'll try to be as accurate as possible and if someone more experienced can point out my mistakes I would highly appreciate it.
I hope that if (hopefully!) someone reads this you'll enjoy it. I'm writing it in order to comfort my own heart and Shinwoo's for he deserved better.
Bel, xx
