Foreword

« I remember when i first saw her. I was 8 and she was 6. I was playing in the park when i heard someone crying. Though i was very young, i knew i had to comfort that person as those cries were heartbreaking. I turned around and saw a little girl, sitting under a tree, all by herself. I walked toward that little girl crying her heart out. I don't know, i was like- i had to comfort her. She looked so fragile. I had to protect her, and i did till the very end. We used to meet in that park, my mom drove me there every afternoon and she talked with her other mom friends while i was playing with the girl. I remember clearly the sound of her voice when she first said her name. That beautiful name. « Ah Young. » I remember we planned to name our children after our both names. It sounded weird first but we got used to it. « Jong Young and Ah Hyun. » We were such innocent kids. We still thought babies were given by storks. Mom used to smile at me when i was talking about Ah Young. She had that kind smile i've always wanted Ah Young to have once we would have children. The both of us got older. We went to different schools but we kept in touch. We kept meeting at that park, everyday after class. We did our homeworks together, listening to those children's laughs which made us happy. I remember the way her cheeks turned red when i sudently got my head up and looked at her. She had that cute embarrased look. I loved that look. That's why i did it a lot but one day, her cheeks didn't turn red and her look wasn't embarrased. And she kissed me. 3 years passed after that kiss. 3 years without her. I didn't know what had happened, why she had left, why she left me. I suffered during those 3 years. But one day, as i was walking down the street, i saw that cute face i used to see everyday 3 years ago. I tried to walk to her but she just disapeared. This is when i came to see you, Soo Hyuk. I have known you since our moms gave us birth. You're my best friend. And i know you wouldn't lie to me. This is why i understood what you meant when we met that day. One day, i tried to do something horrible. This is when she came to me. She looked so different from the last time i saw her. Not when i saw her on the street. When we kissed in the park. She looked like a woman. She looked scared and sad. As i opened the door to let her in, she jumped into my arms, a tear on her cheek. She told me i shouldn't do what i was about to do. It would hurt too much person around me and she asked me to promise i woudn't do that. It would break them. She explained me everything. I did not understand everything but i understood the most important in it. This is why i am writting to you right now, Soo Hyuk, breaking the promise i made. Please, take good care of mom. I'm sorry, i'm leaving you but don't worry, i'll be with someone who loves me and someone i love. Don't be mad at me. We'll meet again one day, but don't come to fast, ok ?

You're my best friend and you will always be.

I love you.

Soo Hyuk coudln't stay strong any longer when he said those last sentences. He took a deep breath, wiped his tears and finally said

« Jong Hyun was my best friend. He was a son, a friend, a classmate,... But he was more than that. He was the best person ever. And we can see that when, at the age of 8, he took care of a girl named Ah Young, which he became friend with and eventually, they fell in love. When he came to me, the day he saw her after 3 years, i had to tell him the truth. The truth everyone who was close to him at that moment knew. I had to tell him Ah Young wasn't really there. I don't remember how i said that, but he understood quickly. We couldn't see her, we had never seen her. Even on pictures, she wasn't there. His mom asked us to act like if it was real since he was still young. She thought it was just an imaginary friend. I'm not sure about what she is. But i am sure about one thing, he truly loved her with all his heart. I would have been happy to meet her one day. Having a double date with them and my girlfriend, like normal friends do. But their relationship wasn't normal. It was more than we could ever understand, but he did. That's why he isn't there anymore. I'm sure we'll meet again when my time will come. But until then, let's just remember the person he was, the person he loved as well, although we weren't able to see her. Let's remember the things he did. To help us, but to help totally strangers. Like he did with Ah Young.

I whish him to be happy where he is right now, with the love of his life.

Hong Jong Hyun, you were my best friend, and you will always be.

I love you. »
