Don't like me who has a limited time
12: Last
윤여주
eww···.
박지민
Heroine! Are you okay?
윤여주
Why am I lying down? I have to go to Taetae.
박지민
Yoon Yeo-ju. You collapsed and woke up a few hours later. Just lie down.
윤여주
That's not important right now!
박지민
It's no use going.
윤여주
···what?
박지민
That kid named Taetae... ha... is dead.
윤여주
No. No, I'm not dead... I have to go, to Taetae.
박지민
Yoon Yeo-ju! Wake up! You fell down and got back up. Let's calm down for now.
윤여주
no···.
박지민
Ha... my lady...
Jimin hugged me. I was so sad. He was my brother, someone I'd always been with, and I couldn't believe he was gone like this. No, I couldn't believe it.
I cried myself to sleep again. Then, some more time passed and I opened my eyes. When I woke up, Jimin was lying asleep next to me.
윤여주
Ha... You've suffered a lot because of me, Jimin...
Being terminally ill seems like something I can't overcome. Even though I've overcome it, I feel like it's something that can never be completely cured. Why does Jimin suffer for liking me? Why does he like me, someone with a terminal illness?
I didn't want to make things any harder for him, so I had no choice but to let him go. But I knew Jimin couldn't leave me, so I had no choice but to leave him.
윤여주
It must have been hard, but thank you for liking me and loving me all this time, Jimin. I'm sorry. Was I happy after all? Thank you for making me feel happy, even if only for a moment...
Still, I thought it would be right to leave a thank you note, in case it suddenly disappeared, so I quickly wrote down the letter since there was paper and pen nearby.
Jimin, hello? It's me, Yeoju. Um... It was a short time, but I was really happy, and I liked you a lot. I've never loved anyone like this, and it was also the first time I've been loved like this.
Even though I knew I had a limited lifespan, even though I knew I couldn't spend the rest of my life with you, I was so grateful and touched that you still loved me. And the fact that you're reading this letter now... well...
I thought about it a lot, but I didn't want to make it this hard for you anymore. I wish you would stop wasting your time on me. You've really suffered because of me. Park Jimin, I hope you meet a woman who's much better than me and stay happy forever!
Also, don't cry too much. I didn't plan on leaving like this, but it turned out like this... I'm sorry, Jimin. I think you'll be really sad if I leave, but since I'm leaving anyway, I just want you to think of it as leaving a little early and forget about me quickly so you can find a new love.
I liked and loved you a lot. You know I loved you a lot, right? I'm going to miss you so much from above, Park Jimin... Take care, don't cry too much, and don't get sick.
I love you so much, Park Jimin···🖤
I left the hospital room, leaving Jimin's letter beside me. The truth is, leaving this world is a terrifying and frightening thing. But, since I find it so difficult to live like this, feeling sorry for someone, nothing could be more comforting.
I reached the top of the hospital in silence, without saying a word to anyone.
윤여주
Ha... the weather is nice. Thank you all. From Teacher Jungkook to everyone who helped me. And even my beloved Jimin...
I uttered my final words into the air and closed my eyes. As I closed my eyes, all the moments I'd spent with Jimin flashed through my mind.
윤여주
Park Jimin... I love you...
If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
