**/**/****
(1 year after she came to England)

In front of,

Buckingham Palace,

England.

Jin Oppa,

I hope you are doing fine. It's been a year since I left Seoul and Daegu. I miss everyone, even though I have Appa here. He is pampering me a lot. I miss Eomma and Gomo disciplining me. I miss teasing and fighting with Taetae. I miss my girls. God knows how they fair, without me? Tell Ha Ra don't miss me too much and to stop wetting Hoseok's shirt. His shirt would have frayed.

How are my babies? My Jungkook and Jimin? I miss my Yoongi and Namjoon-ie. Tell Chan-Yo to study well. Poor girl will be pressured by Namjoon-ie, even after all those love making. Heard Yoongi has eyes on Han Ae Eun.

Well... I am writing you a letter, and look at me asking about the rest. Typical me. I saw you back at the hospital bed, the last. Hope you don't remember me kissing you. Your shirt was wet because of my silly tears. I am sorry! You was warm as always, three years didn't change it. I left, not because I hated you, but I loved you more. I love you to the moon and never back. I remember that night at the rooftop. I wish I was once again back there, in your arms. The first snow fell on the day we became each other's. I was the happiest girl then. (The chain, I had no choice but to give it back to you. I am no more it's rightful owner.)

I remember the day you pulled me close to your heart when I cried, losing my Halmeoni. I remember the day when you first held my hand, under the table, afraid of being caught, when we were just seven year old's. I remember you letting me have the steamed buns, even though you was hungry. I remember us braving the rain to buy our favourite black bean noodles.

I remember the passionate kisses, you drowned me in, sneaking out during those sleepless nights. I remember your sweet nothings in my ears, as you played along with my hair. I still remember your taste, like the back of my palm. I wish I still could breathe your scent again. I wish i could breathe you in. I can't, anymore without you.

If I had the power to turn time, I would have gone back to those days. I would have rewritten our destiny. I never blame you for not hearing me that day. Perhaps, I too would have done that. But on some hard days, when I hurt so much, I just wish I could have told you the truth then, and run into your arms. I want to be touched and caressed by you. All these four years, I have done nothing but regret for my folly. My dreams, my love, my desires, all fell apart that day.

Taetae told me about your accident. I was angry at first, for keeping me in the blind, but it faded away. It was best, I never knew of it. I probably couldn't have taken that too. You might still not remember me now. Let me be the forgotten dream in your heart. I deserve it. Your smile is that all matters. The pain in my heart will gradually fade away. There will be a sunrise where we will hold different hands, smile at each other's wedding. I promise you, you won't be my painful memory. You will be the best memory. I will never leave your side. My heart will never hate you. It will miss you and love you more.

Don't forget to name your daughter Kim Jin-Ae. We promised that. She will undoubtedly be the most beautiful baby. Perhaps, she will be like her father, I want her to be like you. I hope you marry someone who loves you, and you want to love till your last breath. Look at me talking about your marriage, when you are just 22. I am mad!

The day we took fake vows under the cherry blossom, I had buried a ring there. A ring I made for you. Let it lay buried, like our love. Like the story that ended. Like the colours that stopped showing. Like the snow that never came again.

 Like the snow that never came again

I drew the Buckingham Palace. Pretty good sketch. It's beautiful. Come see it one day. Bring your queen too. I have left a souvenir here. I will leave one everywhere I visit. It will reach out to you like my love.

With never ending love,

always yours.

Rin.

The letter had started turning old, as it lay untouched and unnoticed in the suitcase. It's owner never took it again. It never reached it's receiver. The beautiful lies thrived as it covered up them.

Rin was having her dinner with her family. Moving on, leaving all her emotions locked up in the fragmented parchment.
