Yi Su's  POV

To Jin,

Where has the light in my life gone... I really feel as if my heart has been ripped out and thrown onto the floor. My life feels so dark now. Before I found Jin just the fact that he will be fine and waiting for me made me work harder and push myself to finding him. But now... but now I know that he is gone. Gone forever. Leaving me to suffer on my own. I remember the day I was informed about it I was about to jump out of our tree to join him. I know it sounds clichè but it's the truth. No one let me and they dragged me back in again. A lot has happened since then. I spaced out from the world a lot and I started locking myself to myself. I opened up to no one. 

But about 2 weeks since Jin left me I was roaming the streets near the town centre. I was completely lost and I didn't check where I was going. I pretty much let my feet take me wherever they will take me. But I didn't notice how close I was to the border of SKY. I was walking around the edge when I got stopped by one of the border patrol men. He grabbed me by my shirt and studied my face. Inside SKY everyone was inbred into one another and we all ended up getting very similar features on our face. So the man immediately noticed how I resembled the people of SKY and he called me over. I was so lost that I just followed him. I didn't know nor did I care where I was going to. I didn't even mind if I get shot anymore. My life is just filled with misery. The patrol man called me in and led me through a series of tunnels.

It reminded me of the time I was leaving SKY. Those days were really happy for me even if I didn't know where Jin was. I remembered how just as I ran through the end of the final tunnel and crossed the border the panel re electrocuted itself and me in the procedure. I remember how I fainted and Mr Kim and Ji Su took me to hospital to check if it was anything serious. I also remember how after we left the hospital we arrived at the hotel in which I reunited with friends after almost 20 years. I was so happy then because I reminisced the days we were just little children and played in each other's back yards. I also remember the chase we had where we ran to the girls' secret hide out and how I noticed earlier on that it was a bomb site. The girls were really acrobatic. They still are but without enough practice they have become a little slower than me. I also remember the time when I found out that my mum had died back inside SKY. She suicided from my room balcony. I don't know how I will live back in that house all by myself; I will feel a little unsettled. Then after that I found out about Yi Eun. About how she was my sister and I got really excited to have a twin. Those days were great.

But it got even better when I  actually found Jin. The light in my life had returned. However, since that point life went downhill very fast. I didn't even get one full day together with him. First Yi Eun told me the truth about her and dad. I didn't cry that day because I know that she will always be looking over me from above and be there to help. But I was wrong. Then I found out how much of a dangerous man Mr Kim was and how I trusted him him blindly. We led him straight to them. Then war was declared and up till now I still feel guilty for just hiding during that time. But as soon as we reunited after war my heart was up in the clouds but I was unaware how much it was going to ache in a few seconds.

Now here I am. Being led back into SKY. To suffer my life all on my own. But I don't want to live anymore.I don't want a life anymore. Hopefully now no one will stop me from dieing now. Goodbye world. Goodbye Jin.

Sincerely,

Yi Su

As soon as I posted the letter to his old address in the post box I turned around and started my way back home. This is going to be my last walk down this street. I turned the corner and unconsciously walked straight into the grocery store and picked up all my usual. I waited in line and was almost served when I realised that if I was going to die I didn't need any of this.I went back and put all the items away and continued to walk the final 500 metres towards my house. As soon as I entered my house I plopped down on my sofa. Just being in this house brought memories of my mother back. Memories I want to avoid right now. I was about to get up and get a final drink of water when my doorbell rang. I went up to the door and opened it to see a mailman. He was probably going to return my letter because the address doesn't exist anymore. He handed me the letter and left after bowing. I was about to open my letter when I realsied it was in a gold envelope not a white one like mine. I opened it and read it quickly. There were only about 2 sentences.

To Yi Su,

Why die now my precious? Only now is the time for you to soar, the sky is the limit.

From,

Jin

I didn't understand. I thought he was dead. I ran up to my living room window and looked outside. Just then the postman turned around. He saw me looking and smiled a very familiar smile. Was this who I thought it was?

Jin...
