PROLOGUE

"Do you really cherish me?"

"Yes."

"Then, grant my wish, in the next lifetime, even if you see me, please pretend as if you do not know me,"

"Do you really have no even little feeling to me?"

"How can you still do not know? If I do not love you, I would do everything to run away from you. At the end, I am here, staying beside you, and it is the decision I have chosen."

Deokim weakly lifts her left hand, trying to touch San's face.

But, she knows at the moment, her time is up, and at the end, her hand never reaches his face anymore.

Her left hand falls onto his lap.

She tries hard to open her own eyes, but it feels like there is something blocking her to do so.

She hears his voice, wailing, crying her name, loudly, desperately.

She really wants to open her eyes, and then tells him everything is okay.

But, nothing could be done.

She could only speak to herself.

"San-ah, I am sorry. I am sorry for leaving you first like this. I love you. Never in my life, I have any regret after knowing you, understanding you, and loving you. I am sorry for failing to tell you about my true feeling, that I love you very much. In the next lifetime, if God allows, I would come to you first, I would recognize you first, and I would love you, first. So, please, wait for me."
