Lifetime [Seulrene]

Epilogue - Yours since the beginning

Seulgi went home to America. She stayed home for most of the time because of the pain that was still in her. Irene was now married and starting to fall inlove with Wendy, and she couldn't do anything about it. This was the path that they both chose.

She went to the Church that Father Mike was in. She was sad to find out that the priest had passed away, a week after the old woman did. She also found out that their graves were buried next to each other. She cried that night, remembering Father Mike's words.

She also found out that Jet was about to finish the second book and it would be called 'Our Time'. She smiled knowing the boy was doing well in his writing.

Seulgi ended up also letting Jackson finally court her, and he did.

Irene on the other hand continued to build her restaurants and was able to build branches in other parts of the world. Both of them never forgot about each other, even though it had been a year.

Yes, a year. Time flew by fast.

Irene also found out that her mother had another child before her father with her past boyfriend and her father knew about it. He was the one to tell her.

Irene eventually met her half sister and there she told the story of her and Seulgi, and how even though she already fell inlove with Wendy there was still a part of her heart that belonged to Seulgi, because the girl was her greatest love, and it would never change.

One morning when she brought her sister to her house finally, she saw a box and a letter on top of it.

She looked at the letter and saw the familiar handwriting. Her heart clenched seeing the box, and she told her sister it was from Seulgi. Both girls widen their eyes as they brought the box in, and there they opened it.

Irene sees two books. One titled 'Lifetime' and the other book titled 'Our Time'. She took the letter first and started to read through it. Every word still caused a stab to her heart. It was suffocating.

Before reading the letter a song suddenly popped up in her head.

_____________

•°•°•°Irene's POV

The song played in my head as I looked at the letter before reading it. I would never forget about Seulgi. She was my first love. The only girl that was able to take my breath away with just one look.

She was perfect, and although her and I didn't end up together. I know in another lifetime we will. I know deep down somewhere in the universe, a special force called love and destiny will make us meet again.

Give us a second chance.

Then the radio suddenly played the same song that was playig in my head.

Was there a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours?
Paper planes and porcelain
Smell of rain through the window pane
And the sight of you
Oh, you were a good dream

Yes Seulgi, you were such a good dream that I wished I would never wake up from. I wished that if I did, your face was the first thing I'd see on a warm morning.

I was scared to lose you then
But secrets turn into regrets
Buried feelings grow
Oh, you were a good dream

We both had regrets and faults as to why we now feel this way. Don't worry because I won't hurt Wendy, but even if I do fall inlove with her, my love for you will never end. It was that simple.

Was there a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours?
Was it the wrong time, what if we tried giving in a little more
To the warmth we had before?

Maybe if we gave US a shot back then. Maybe if told you how I felt. Maybe if I felt that you felt the same. Maybe...

... just maybe you were the one standing with me at the altar.

Tangled with another's eyes
Never mind, you were never mine
Glimpse of me and you
Oh, you were a good dream

Everytime I looked at you, I looked at my home. You gave me a safe feeling. A place where I could stay for the rest of my life. You were the one Seulgi.

Was there a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours?
Was it the wrong time, what if we tried giving in a little more?

In another life we would meet again, walk to the altar and say our vows matched with 'I love yous'. I will forever dream of that day my love.

I'd spend a lifetime waiting in vain just to go back to the way we were before
Was it the wrong time, what if we tried giving in a little more
To the warmth we had before?

What if we tried Seulgi? So many what ifs but it'll never come true.

Is there a lifetime waiting for us?
All this time, I have been yours

All this time I truly have been yours.bFrom the beginning to the end I will forever be yours. I will wait for the next lifetime bear.....

My Seulgi, yours since the beginning...

I slowly read the letter. Tears dropping from my eyes with every word. I will miss her.

To Irene Bae,

My favorite girl. We had many years being friends together. They were the happiest and most memorable years of my life. We were together all the time and everyone knew how inseparable we were. In result, my mother loved you just like you are her daughter and my father wanted you for me too. Your father respected me and her planned our day, our wedding day that we both secretly wished to happen.

The venue was planned. The reception was to be the most decorated, out rings were to be the most expensive pieces of jewelry. Everything was planned and it did happen...

just not with me.

I hope Wendy takes care of you and I hope you have children to tell your stories to. I will never forget the day that I left you because it was the biggest mistake I ever made. Just the thought of you now still caused a stabbing pain to my heart as if it would shatter into a million pieces and those small pieces of my heart will find their way back to you.

You were the girl I dreamed of and I will forever dream because the two of us will never be a reality. The two of us was strong, but our enemy was stronger. This time destiny was against us and we can't fight it. We could actually, but we didn't. Because I was years late and you chose not to hurt her.

Secrets turned into regrets and it is true. I have never regretted something so much. I will miss you princess. You are my favorite girl still.

Read the books I sent you, our story will continue Irene. In another lifetime my love. See you in my next life.

I love you.

To the moon and back.

Yours since the beginning,
Kang Seulgi
