A tout Jamais
Description
What happens when life tricks you to her dirtiest field. "She teaches you about love, and makes you unable to live on without that person, but just snatchs him away before your eyes" was Lee Seung Gi's words. If god sends a certain person to change you for better, does that mean you are meant to live on together forever happy? And when you lose that person, what you have last? Can you carry the weight of a person who loves and still loves despite the large distance that is between heaven and earth.
My name is Lee Seung Gi, and this is the story of the eighteen years old me. I never thought that my life would change entirely forever. Some peaolpe may look at me undifferently thinking what the hell with you!! Some are trying to figure out what could possibly have happened to change my life. Even now, forty years passed by. I still recall every little thing that occured when I was 18. People around aren't questionning anymore, they understand me, because just like them, she touched their lives and made even a slight little change to it. But me, was more than anyone under the spell that only she can cast.
I'm fifty-eight years old now, but walking under the morning breeze bring lost memories of my eighteen back. It's early september when everything started, everyone was expecting chuseok excitedly, I was as usual the playfull me with my friends wandering around. Ara was as usual doing her charity work by posing piggy bank in each store for the orphanage.....
Foreword
Each september, Lee Seung Gi lingers about the past, memories from his senior year in high school hunt his life. It was in 1984, small village in Busan. Only son of a wealthy family, he enjoyed his school life with his friends, flirting with good looking girls, and do nothing all day except pestering the school director's daughter, who never failed in making old people adoring her for her good heart and nice soul, but she creeps her peers with her eternal bun, old fashion style, big round glasses and always carrying with her an old notebook that looked like diaries, rumors say she inherited it from her grandmother who was a witch, and that it contains magic spells. Go Ara had the ability to annoy Seung Gi, and crack his nerves.
It's nearly chuseok, in this tiny town, it's a traditional festival where everyone meet to celebrate the harvest season. Each family presents the town with numerous tasty traditional dishes. It's a custom for singles guys to invite their crush as their partner. Dressed in hanbok, and paying respect to their ancestral, it is the first step for the family to adhere to their in-law. For senior high schoolers, this festival is meant to show who has more influence and charisma, more like a popularity contest, the better girl you get, the more recognized you become. Lee Seung Gi was late, all the 'it girl' were already taken, he shifted his gaze to lower ranked girls, but all were taken, he had one last choice, either going there alone - which meant his pride being stepped on, or invite the one last girl no one wanted, or everyone feared : Go Ara. He had no choice but to invite her. She accepted :"I'll be your partner, but promise one thing" he looked at her confuse, "promise me you would never fall in love with me". Life decided otherwise, between two youngsters, love flows. But Ara tell Seung Gi she only have few more months before she is no longer of this world.
