Promises

*WARNING: Before I start this short fic, I'd like to warn readers ahead of time that this story contains the mentioning of suicide. If you are in need of help, please don't do it. Call someone. Anyone. Cherish your beautiful life.*

Dear Jongseong,

As you already know, I'm dying. I look to you as the son I never had, so promise me one thing. Please, please, please, promise me. Promise me that you'll take care of her. Take care of my little girl. I've seen the way she looks at you. Her eyes light up as though she just saw the meaning of life. I'm sure she has too. Her meaning of life is you. Grow old. Have children. Remember me in happiness, not sadness. Do you promise to do all the above?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Lim,

I promise. With all my heart. I love her and I promise to take care of her. I'm sorry that I have to promise you this way, through a meaningless letter. But I can assure you, my words are true.

For the last time, Park Jongseong

I hold the two letters to my chest, tears dropping continuously. Why did you promise if you weren't going to keep it?
