Chapter 01

Never Say Goodbye

 Alright it's the final match of the season ladies and gentlemen...
And as we approach the finish, it's still not clear which team is going to lift the Champions Cup...
Two minutes to go...
and the score stands at 1 all...
The Rangers have the ball and are dribbling through...
Is this going to be a goal? But just as I say that, Shim Changmin has intercepted them... ... and has possession.
My God! Look at him go...
He's moving closer and closerto the goal... Just look at him go.
Changmin looks determined...
Is this going to be the decider? Oh my God! He's underthe D... he's through...he's through them all...
Is that going to be a penalty? That definitely should be a penalty...
If that's a penalty... the Rangers probably just threw the game away....

Shim Changmin is a successful soccer player in the United States. He lives in New York City with his wife Victoria, his son Minhyun and his mother Jaejoong.

Yunho: Hey guys... My son's getting married...
My son's getting married...
Today I'm going to part with my daughter
and get a daughter-in-law home...
Hey Kyu... We are coming...
I'm the happiest guy in the wor...
Hey, what's with you?

Yunho keep shouting aloud his happiness but suddenly he noticed Siwon being in deep thoughts.

Siwon: Dad... I'm nervous...

Yunho:-Why?

Siwon: It's taken herthree years to say 'yes'...
She won't run away at the last minute,
will she?

Yunho: No... No...
She can't run away anywhere...

Siwon: Yeah... After all where will she
find a husband like me, right?

Yunho: No... I meant our security is very tight... not your quality son.


They kept joking around like friends. But deep down in Siwon's heart, he knew that Kyuhyun never loved him. Kyuhyun always considered him as a best friend not anything more.


Changmin came to pick up Jaejoong his mother at Wedding Venue she is working. Jaejoong seems busy.

Changmin: Mom... What are you doing?

Jaejoong: Just... Nothing... Usual works...

Changmin: Ready to go?

Jaejoong: No... I don't know what's
taking the bride so long...
You carry on... I'll come on my own...

Changmin: Are you sure?

Jaejoong: -Yeah... You go...

Changmin watched Kyuhyun sitting in garden bench wearing her wedding gown. He decided to approach her.


Changmin: Excuse me... excuse me...
Please don't mess the garden...
I have just cleaned it up...

Kyuhyun: Are you the gardener?

Changmin:What do you think?
I think you have stolen the bride's clothes...
Should I inform inside?

Kyuhyun: Could you please leave me alone?

Changmin: Of course...not...
It's your wedding and you are
sitting outside here... Why?

Kyuhyun: Do you have a problem?

Changmin: Not directly... But indirectly I do...
My mother has a problem...
The fasteryou go inside,
the faster my mother can leave from here...

Kyuhyun: You are a strange man...

Changmin: You sat down?
Should I lie down and chat?
One to one discussions always
happen sitting down...

Kyuhyun: Discussion?

Changmin: Yes... I know you have a problem...
Come on... Talk to me...
Tell me your problem...

Kyuhyun: Why should I discuss my problem with you?

Changmin: So you admit you have a problem...

Kyuhyun: By the way, I don't take advice from anyone...

Changmin: ... but I'm always ready
to give advice to others...
You should always listen to strangers...
Sometimes they know betterthan our own...

Kyuhyun: Are you married?

Changmin: Einstein... It's five years today...

Kyuhyun: What did you think before marrying?

Changmin: Who thinks before marrying?
Just kidding...
R
Vic and me, are friends from college...
So we thought we'd give our
friendship a new meaning...
...besides what can be better than spending...
...your entire life with your friend?
At times friendship replaces love and
then there's no space left for love...

Kyuhyun: Yeah... yeah...

Changmin: By the way, the guy waiting foryou inside...
...is he yourfriend or your love?
You can't take that long...

Kyuhyun: I have known Siwon since childhood...
After my parents died, Siwon
and his father have been my family...

Changmin: Oh... What a sweet family...
But that's not the answer to my question...
Do you love him?

Kyuhyun: I do...
But not the way I thought I would...

Changmin: Like how? Like in good books and bad films?
That kind of love?

Kyuhyun: No... The way love ought to be...
That kind of love...

Changmin: Hmm That kind of love...
But where does it exist anymore?
Listen to this...
'The sagas of everlasting romances
have gone past long ago...
Just learn to make do
with tiny love stories...'

Kyuhyun: Does that mean you don't love your wife?
You can't take that long...

Changmin: We are happy...
We have made our little world together...

Kyuhyun: That's not the answer to my question...

Changmin: The question here is more
about your life than my answer...
You are at a crossroad in life
where there are two roads...
One that leads to happiness,
which I think you deserve...
..and the other that leads
to an endless wait...
Wait for love...
Which you may neverfind...

Kyuhyun: What if I find that love after marriage?

Changmin: If you don't look for it...
you won't find it...
And you are definitely not finding
it sitting on this bench...
Go inside and get married...
The wedding is waiting foryou...
...and here you are sitting
with a stranger making small talk...

Kyuhyun: You should be ashamed...
What will people say?

Changmin: Shame on you... Go on... go...
go and get married... Go...

Kyuhyun: It was nice talking to you...

Changmin: Well... I'd rather be playing football...
But it was a pleasure to meet you, Ma'am...

Kyuhyun: Cho Kyuhyun ... That's my name

Changmin: Chwang... for you... and Shim Changmin is my official name. bad one...
Now go fast, get married and be happy...
Good bye... Sayonara... Goodbye...

Kyuhyun: Not good bye...
Goodbye kills the hope of meeting again...
And who knows?
We may meet again...

 



Just like fragrance merges into breeze...
And fades away...
Intense moments, with time...
Have a way of seeming like dreams...
Who knows?  We may meet again yet...
You should never say goodbye...

Never say goodbye...
Never say goodbye...
Never say goodbye...

They say time heals all wounds...
But in some relationships,
some wounds only get deeper with time...
