Ji Won began to wake up. He looked around and realized
he was in a hospital room. Slowly his door began to open
and the rest of SechsKies entered his room.
“Hyung?” asked Sung Hoon. “Are you okay?”
Ji Won nodded his head weakly as he pulled himself up. “I’m
okay now.”
Jae Jin walked over to his bedside.
“We’re so sorry Matthew hyung. We didn’t
know what happened until this morning. We got revenge for
you though when we wiped out the entire Black Dragon hideout.”
“It’s okay,” he told them softly as they
all bowed down.
Then a knock came to his door. The doctor came in. “Oh
good, you’re awake,” he said.
Ji Won looked at him. “Thanks for saving me Doc.”
“No need to thank me. Your girlfriend is the one
who saved your life.”
Ji Won began to panic.
“What did she do?”
“She could have gotten a chance to go to England to
get a heart transplant but she decided to stay to give you
her kidney instead.”
“The girl…where is she?”
he asked frantically.
The doctor looked around the room.
“She was supposed to be in here—“
Ji Won got out of bed and ran out of the room, leaving everyone
staring after him.
“Hyung!” all the 5 Kies shouted but Ji Won had
already left. He ran searching for Mina. He knew where she
went.
June 17, 1999
’Please let Ji Won be okay’, I prayed
to myself silently. Hopefully my prayers will
be answered. So is this the end? My heart never
changed because it was still the same one I
loved Ji Won with. I couldn’t bear the
thought of trading it with someone else. I was
so confused. Had I finished what I had really
come for? What will happen to my love for Ji
Won? I didn’t know these answers.
I felt weaker and my pen fell from my fingers.
I stopped my story right there. Truth is, I
didn’t know how to end it so I might as
well leave it unfinished. I took off my cap
and clothes. I was wearing a long white flowing
dress underneath. It was the kind I always wanted
to wear when I thought I was going to marry
Ji Won.
My hair had grown out a little bit. It grazed
my chin. I started to put on some light make
up and combed my hair. I don’t know why
I’m getting dressed up for but I knew
I wanted to die looking like Nam Mina, and not
Ahn Min Sung. I looked at my reflection again.
‘At least I look like a girl now’,
I thought with a little laugh.
When I was done, I leaned against the hard
rock and wrapped my arms around it, pretending
it was Ji Won. Then I heard a voice yelling
out my name. “Mina!” I recognized
the voice. Ji Won. I smiled, knowing at least
he’ll be the last person I’ll see
before I go.
Ji Won looked around the beach and saw a figure
in a white dress. ‘Mina,’ he thought
as he ran towards her. It was Mina. He lifted
her into his arms and onto his lap as he sat
down on the rocks. “Mina,” he whispered
to her and kissed her on the neck and face.
Tears began to fall down his face.
All of my energy seemed to have been drained
as I forced myself to open my eyes. My face
felt wet but it wasn’t from my tears and
it wasn’t raining either. My vision was
kind of blurred and I couldn’t see Ji
Won too well. I reached up to touch his face.
It was wet. “Ji Won,” I whispered
to him. “Please don’t cry. You’re
scaring me. I’ve never seen you cry before.”Ji
Won looked down at Mina, through his tear-filled
eyes. “I’m so sorry Mina.”
“Don’t say you’re sorry,”
she whispered back to him. “You’ve
done nothing wrong.”
Ji Won shook his head. “I’m so sorry.
You’ve done so much for me and I haven’t
even realized it. I haven’t done anything
for you except put you through a lot of pain.”
I reached up wipe away Ji Won’s tears.
“I didn’t expect anything back from
you oppa. But I want to know why did you leave
me in Hawaii? I could have called the wedding
off if you didn’t want to marry me.”
I felt Ji Won’s grip on me tighten.
