My heart is failing me; I can only take tiny breaths as I wake up

My heart is failing me; I can only take tiny breaths as I wake up. Tae Won is sound asleep; he told me he couldn't sleep. Nightmares haunt him, making him wake up drenched in sweat, but here he sleeps like a newborn nestled close to his mom.

Tae Won doesn't even move as I get off the mattress. I wonder what he's dreaming about at this exact moment.

The time has come, and as expected, my heart crumbles.

For once, I anticipated, I would have proceeded with a break up with or without Rebecca's and Travis's intervention. It's just it wasn't the right moment, and it still isn't.

However, I no longer have the choice, thanks to the blackmailer involvement, which accelerated everything.

So here's the plan: I'll leave a note to Tae Won's intent. I can't send Tae Won a message via KTalk; texts are overrated. Besides, I find it disrespectful not that a letter is better, and it seems to have more nobility than a text message.

Face to face break up with Tae Won will be the death of me, he sees right through me, and he won't accept it willingly like all the other times I attempted it. I can't resist him.

And since I know I can't resist, I'm leaving Seoul and going back to England. With a bit of luck, Tae Won won't chase me there.

He can't love me that much, can he?

I hope not; I pray that I'll become an old story Tae Won only remembers when he ties one of his hairbands.

Yes, I want to be a hairband memory, tucked away in a pocket or a drawer, reappearing by accident, and forgotten the next.

I walk to the couch and put on my clothes. I try not to think about what happened.

I slept with Tae Won, it was wrong, but it felt right.

It wasn't meaningless sex; I can't even say it was sex.

It was something else; it felt like the first time because Tae Won is my first love. Tae Won is the second man who has seen and touched my body. He reached this envelope I'm so ashamed of and graced me with his love, I felt it.

The emotion submerged every part of me, as though the two odd shattered pieces had found their match. Tonight I gave my all to Tae Won. I hope he perceived it and that he'll keep it in mind because I'll never forget, though my feelings are unlawful, I know I shall always love Kim Tae Won.

Fully dressed, and I walk to his desk. All the times I came, I've never looked around since I'm not the curious type, but here I discover his bureau.

There are a lot of notebooks.

For no reason, I pick one up; it has the date of the accident written on the first page.

Is it a diary?

I flick through the pages and the contents though he wrote everything in Korean. I understand it relates to anything but his daily routine.

There are facts; he has noted elements surrounding the accident.
