Part 36

June 17, 1999
’Please let Ji Won be okay’, I prayed to myself silently. Hopefully my prayers will be answered. So is this the end? My heart never changed because it was still the same one I loved Ji Won with. I couldn’t bear the thought of trading it with someone else. I was so confused. Had I finished what I had really come for? What will happen to my love for Ji Won? I didn’t know these answers.

I felt weaker and my pen fell from my fingers. I stopped my story right there. Truth is, I didn’t know how to end it so I might as well leave it unfinished. I took off my cap and clothes. I was wearing a long white flowing dress underneath. It was the kind I always wanted to wear when I thought I was going to marry Ji Won. My hair had grown out a little bit. It grazed my chin. I started to put on some light make up and comb my hair. I don’t know why I’m getting dressed up for but I knew I wanted to die looking like Nam Mina, and not Ahn Min Sung. I looked at my reflection again.
‘At least I look like a girl now’, I thought with a little laugh.

When I was done, I leaned against the hard rock and wrapped my arms around it, pretending it was Ji Won. Then I heard a voice yelling out my name.
“Mina!” I recognized the voice. Ji Won. I smiled, knowing at least he’ll be the last person I’ll see before I go.

Ji Won looked around the beach and saw a figure in a white dress.
‘Mina,’ he thought as he ran towards her. It was Mina. He lifted her into his arms and onto his lap as he sat down on the rocks.
“Mina,” he whispered to her and kissed her on the neck and face. Tears began to fall down his face.

All of my energy seemed to have been drained as I forced myself to open my eyes. My face felt wet but it wasn’t from my tears and it wasn’t raining either. My vision was kind of blurred and I couldn’t see Ji Won too well. I reached up to touch his face. It was wet.
“Ji Won,” I whispered to him.
“Please don’t cry. You’re scaring me. I’ve never seen you cry before.”Ji Won looked down at Mina, through his tears-filled eyes.
“I’m so sorry Mina.”
“Don’t say you’re sorry,” she whispered back to him.
“You’ve done nothing wrong.” Ji Won shook his head.
“I’m so sorry. You’ve done so much for me and I haven’t even realized it. I haven’t done anything for you except put you through a lot of pain.” I reached up to wipe away Ji Won’s tears.
“I didn’t expect anything back from you oppa. But I want to know why did you leave me in Hawaii? I could have called the wedding off if you didn’t want to marry me.” I felt Ji Won’s grip on me tighten.

 

“I didn’t mean to leave you Mina,” answered Ji Won, his voice shaking.
“I couldn’t take my dad anymore. My grandpa had given me his inheritance and I planned on taking you and Sung Hoon with me. I didn’t tell you about it because I was afraid you wouldn’t leave your family for me. When I came to your house to get you, my uncle’s men were waiting for me there and they chased me to the docks. I escaped and I wanted to go back but I couldn’t. I could have put your life in danger. This isn’t the first time I’ve cried Mina. I cried when I knew I was going to be separated from you.”

Despite the pain, I managed to smile. Ji Won didn’t want to leave me, I thought.
“Look Ji Wonee, I’m wearing the dress I always wanted to wear if we had gotten married.” Ji Won looked at me.
“You’re beautiful Mina,” he said to me.
“If everything would have gone as planned, we could have been married here in Korea.” One thing was still bothering me. I think I managed to hold onto my life this long because of this question.
“Ji Wonee, do you love me? I mean romantically and not as your dongsang.”

Ji Won looked down at Mina. She was beautiful. His heart ached when he saw how pale she was. He realized she never did know that he had loved her all along.
“Yes, Mina,” he told her.
“I loved you since the first day we met. I loved you then and I had never stopped loving you.” He bent down to kiss her.

My heart felt a warm bliss. Ji Won said he loved me, I told myself as I felt him kiss me. Then a cold realization washed over me but I didn’t really care. I always thought that I was hurt when I didn’t receive Ji Won’s love. Instead, I found out my pain came from when I didn’t give Ji Won enough love. I haven’t told Ji Won I loved him yet.
“Ji Won,” I said to him as he looked down at me.
“Thank you for making my dream come true by saying that you love me. I know you’re lying and just saying it to repay me but you didn’t have to. I did it all because I... I...“
I was losing my voice. Not now, please, I prayed as tears fell down my face. I need to tell him before I go. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the white marble stone Ji Won had given to me when I was Min Sung. I pointed towards the ocean to make Ji Won look. I threw the stone with all my remaining strength. It skipped 3 times.
‘Perfect,’ I thought as I closed my eyes for the last time.

As Ji Won listened to what Mina was saying, he was stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears. She thought he was saying he loved her as payment of what she had done for him. More tears fell down his face as he shook his head. Then when Mina pointed out to the ocean, Ji Won saw her throw the stone he had given her.
It skipped 3 times. I love you.
Ji Won smiled, knowing that Mina loved him too. He had known that she had loved him all along but she never told it to him either.
“Mina, you don’t understand. I do love you!” he shouted. Then Ji Won looked down at her. She had passed on.
“Mina?” He shook her gently. Her body was still and completely lifeless.
“Mina!” he screamed in pain. He held onto her tightly, burying his face into her neck. He was crying so loudly and painfully that both their bodies shook.

Sung Hoon and the others finally made it to where Ji Won and Mina was. They circled Ji Won, who was bent over holding someone they couldn’t see.
“Hyung,” said Sung Hoon as he put his hand on Ji Won’s shoulder.
“Are you okay? Where’s Min Sung?” Ji Won lifted his head up and Sung Hoon saw who Ji Won was holding. He fell back into the sand shocked.
“M…Mina?” he asked in disbelief.
“Mina?” the others repeated.
“Min Sung is Mina?” asked Ji Yong. Ji Won nodded his head.
“She dressed up as a guy to join Sechskies to be with me.”
“You’re right, Mickey. Mina did love Matthew hyung,” said Jae Duc quietly. Sung Hoon got up and hugged both Ji Won’s and Mina’s bodies tightly.
“Why?” he asked crying. Everyone remained silent. Ji Won shook his head. He moved away from Sung Hoon and turned to face all of them.
“Sechskies is my family. You guys are all like my brothers. Please be my witness as I make this promise to Mina.” They nodded their heads sadly and listened.
“Mina,” Ji Won began.
“When you were alive, I was never able to tell you that I loved you. Now that you’re gone, you don’t believe I love you. Even though I never showed you the kind of love you wanted me to, it doesn’t mean I didn’t love you with all I have.” Ji Won paused and yanked off the ring around his necklace.
“With Sechskies here as my witnesses, I, Eun Ji Won, take Nam Mina as my wife ‘til eternity. I have nothing to give you Mina except my heart, which belonged to you from the first day we met.”
He kissed her lips as he slipped on the ring. The others watched him in silence. They were surprised because throughout the whole time Ji Won had been their leader, he never used his real name before. They knew he was serious. When it was over, Ji Won lifted Mina up into his arms as he stood up.

“As your leader, I have a final announcement to make. I am quitting SechsKies.”
“What?” they all asked in disbelief.
“Hyung,” said Su Won.
“Please reconsider.” Ji Won shook his head.
“This is the second time Mina left me. I really can’t go on as your leader. The person I loved the most is taken away from me too soon and she died not knowing that I truly do love her.”
The others understood what Ji Won meant. Jae Jin walked up to Ji Won.
“What do you plan to do then Matthew?”
“I don’t know,” he answered.
"I’ll be somewhere where I’ll always be with Mina and constantly remind her that I love her. And as for Sechskies, with all the money and businesses we have, I don’t see any reason why we have to commit any more crimes. We each have enough money to spend for the rest of our lives already.” They all nodded. Ji Won placed a hand on Sung Hoon’s shoulder.
“Sung Hoon,” said Ji Won.
“Yes hyung?” asked Sung Hoon.
“If you do love Kyung Hee, tell her before it’s too late.”
Sung Hoon nodded. “I will.”

Ji Won looked at his five brothers for the last time.
“This final meeting of SechsKies is now adjourned. I wish you all the best and hope you do find your true love because I have. Good bye.” Ji Won picked up Mina’s book and scribbled something into it. When he was done, he placed it back down on the rock. Ji Won lifted Mina’s body into his arms as he walked away.
“Hyung!” shouted Sung Hoon.
“Where are you going?”

Ji Won continued walking and didn’t answer him. The Sechskies watched their leader walk towards the sunset carrying his bride and disappeared. They picked up the book to see what Ji Won had written. The last entry of Mina’s story was,
“True love never has an ending.”
