내 여자친구를 부탁해 | Please Take Care of my Girlfriend
Kris had always known. He saw it in the way her eyes would skit around until they landed on Kai and they way she looked at him like he was her world. Why did he stay, you ask? Because for the few times that she would look at him in that way, he believed he could be her world.
He was there, peeking through racks as he watched his soon-to-be bride latch her arms through her dear bestfriend’s, hoping it could be him instead. He saw it all and call him a fool but Kris wasn’t trying to replace Kai. During the deepest time of the night, he was there to hold Krystal close as she battled her demons. Krystal’s a complicated girl, one not many seems to get but the ones who all do seem to treasure her like the moon at night. Kris loved Krystal with everything he had and with her, he never knew what tomorrow would bring but he knew he’d be living with no regrets.
Kris remembers their first night as a married couple out in the blue ocean waters of Borabora. He remembers the way she held onto him, as if he was all she had left and he knew, he was.
“He’s dying,” she suddenly whispers with his arms around her waist with their eyes watching the sun set across the horizon. “My best friend is dying and I’m pretty sure I helped kill him.”
Wordlessly, Kris meets her quivering lips with his and he doesn’t break away until she’s breathless and too tired to continue on.
“One day,” he breathes with his eyes staring into her gentle soul. “I pray that one day you are able to love me as much as you love him.”
Her eyes begin to water and he drops a kiss on the tip of her nose. “Wh-what if I can’t? I don’t deserve you, at all.”
Kris shakes his head and pulls her closer into his embrace. He didn’t picture their first night to be like this but it was bound to happen. “I won’t force you. All I ask of you is to let me be by your side until there is no more me or you. I love you, Jung Soojung.”
Hearing her birth name makes her inhale. Her eyelids close and Kris kisses away the tears that escape.
“I love you too,” she whispers in return. “Li Jiaheng.”
Jongin requested no families and only asked for the people he loved and cherished the most to send him away. She doesn’t shed a single tear until Jongin’s body is lowered into the ground. Like a child, she begs for a little more time and fists the dirt in frustration.
“I’m so sorry,” Krystal cries over and over with her knees set into the damp ground. “I love you. Until the day we meet again, please don’t ever forget that.”

“Krystal,
You probably knew. You probably knew that I was dying and that all I ever wanted was to love you. Thank you for not telling me because I don’t think I would’ve been able to peacefully leave this world knowing I’d given you the false hope of an eternity. Since the day I met you, I have loved you and I know you hate corny but too bad I’m already dead so you can’t kill me.
I’ve always believed you were my soulmate. Though I knew not in this lifetime. I only believe in rebirth because I wish to be given another chance to meet you and love you properly. My time has stopped here, Krystal, but yours continue to tick and I hope you come to love Kris with every particle of your body. Love him more than you do me. Find those dreams that not no longer involve me and chase them until you no longer can.
Thank you for being the love of my life.
Goodbye, Soojung.
Love,
Kim Jongin.”
