because i'd obviously end up falling in love with you.

i mean, i never really fully saw you as a friend ever since that day.

i saw you as my lover.

i wonder what you thought of us.

i wonder if you'll remember me as a stranger you coincidentally met.

or a friend.

a best friend, perhaps?

maybe even your soon-to-be husband that you never got to marry.

out of all those,

it'll probably just be laundry boy, right?

i don't mind.

that's what you always called me anyway.

even after i told you my name, you still called me laundry boy from time to time.

i wish you could call me that a thousand more times.

i'm sorry i didn't get to fulfill our promise.

who knew it'd be me that would break a promise first?

honestly, i thought it'd be you.

no offence, hisa.

since i happen to make you cry a lot at times...

i'm still hoping for a miracle to happen. that maybe i'll be saved and then we could go back to normal.

if i told you i was going to die, i bet you'd offer your heart or something.

since you're very selfless. especially when it comes to people you care about.

i don't want that for you anymore.

you don't need to go through the same struggles you went through with me.

you've done so much saving already.

i hope someone comes along, a person that can do the things that i couldn't do with you.

i hope they grant all your requests.

like how you did with mine.

i hate thinking about that stuff. it makes me feel jealous already.

because, marrying you was the biggest thing i was looking forward to. i don't really want to be replaced.

at times i'd look at you and think,

i wanna marry her.

often, i'd even imagine scenarios.

like, how it'd feel to put a ring on your finger.

and it's me! it's me being the one to put a ring through your finger.

what type of ring would it be?

that was something i was yet to ask.

would it have a big diamond on it? would it be flashy and eye catching?

or simple and plain?

it didn't matter actually.

as long as it was me, who got to marry you.
