A guy named Jiyong had been suffering due to his illness..

It wasn't long since he found out about his condition..

He only got a month and a half to live...

Despite knowing about his life's limit, he did not hold a grudge against GOD..

Instead, he used his remaining time on earth trying to confess to the girl he has fallen inlove with...

The Girl's name is Park Sandara, the girl whom the town named venus..

For her beauty is only comparable to the goddess of love and beauty..

Sandara, runs a bookstore in their small town..

It was a store she inherited from her deceased father..

____________________________________

Her beauty is not just the reason why the young lad named jiyong was attracted to her..

Her carefree and cheerfulness and kind heart was what attracted him most..

Jiyong visited her store almost everyday, trying to confess to the beautiful maiden..

But he always end up just buying a book and shoo away...

Everyday, he does the same thing..

That Sandara finally noticed him...

His frequent visit on the store had become something that dara looked forward too..

It's been two months since Jiyong started going to her store..

And it's been a week since she had last seen him..

Dara can nolonger wait for him, she was worried...

No matter how much she tried to just shrug it off, she just can't...

So she decided to look for him..

It didn't take long for her to find him..

For the town was too small, with a population of 350..

Everybody knows, almost everybody in the town...

When dara finally arrived at the Kwon residence, she was welcome with the most shocking news that nearly made her faint..

Kwon Jiyong is dead...

Jiyong's mother lead dara to his son's room...

Upon reaching it, Dara was hesitant whether to open it or not..

It wasn't that long since she and jiyong meet..

They're not close nor one would consider them as friends..

They just know each others first name, but barely know a thing aside from the fact that they both have the same interest in books..

But Jiyong's mother urged the hesitant dara to her son's room..

For she knows how fond her son was with this girl...

Upon opening Dara was shocked to see what's inside the room..

Stolen shots of her neatly pinned in every corner of his room..

And the books that he bought from her store were arranged in his bed..

Dara walked slowly to the pile of books...

She teared up upon seeing it upclose..

For each book has a note on every cover..

And each note has a message written for her..

Words that were left unsaid..

For the man was to shy to even talk to her..

She read each note, and with every note dara's heart was broken and crushed..

But the last book that Jiyong bought made her heart stop..

It was the Red String of Faith..

The last book has a note with a song written in it..

A song that Jiyong wrote for her and finnished just before his life has ended..

The Last Song..

Everything just felt like a nightmare...

Time had stopped for dara..

If only dara could have turn back the time...

She hugged the book and silently weep..

Unknown to Jiyong, the girl he had fallen head over heels with, had fallen inlove with him long before he even realized he loved her...
