The Love That Remains

Chapter 29: Goodbye

Fang Aisa never reaches home. Her body is recovered after ten days of search in the river. It is ruled out as suicide because of her history of suicides. Fang Aisa sent three text messages from her phone before she was seen jumping off the bridge by the passerby.

Her first text message is sent to Fang Qi.

'Dear Father,

This is probably the first time and last time I am calling you my father from my heart. I am taking Fang's curse with me. After this day, you will no longer suffer because of the curse. Live your life. Take care of your family. Tell Granny Lan that I have decided this on my own. Nobody is to be blamed for my disappearance. Goodbye.

Your daughter,

Fang Aisa'

Her second text message is sent to Wang Mei.

'Live well. Become a good leader. Don't be afraid of Grandmother Wang.'

Her third text message is sent to Sung Jun:

'Thank you for loving me. I cannot ask for anything more. I hope that you live your dream after I am gone. Don't choose the path of your ancestors. Live the ordinary life that you wanted to live. Marry a good woman who can make you happy. Make a family. I wish you a happy life.'

After reading the goodbye texts, Fang Qi tries to contact Fang Aisa. Nobody picks up the call. Sung Jun and Wang Mei also try to call her, but their calls are disconnected. They try to find Fang Aisa. They find the phone near the bridge.

When Fang Aisa's body is recovered, her body is barely recognizable. Her family and friends confirm the identity of the body by her clothes, her wallet, and her hot pink hair.

On her funeral, Fang Qi comes with his wife and son. Her grandfather also comes for the sake of his son. Granny Lan doesn't attend the funeral because she is hospitalized from the shock. The Wang family, Bae Jaemin and Ms. Sung also attend the funeral.

When everyone is gone, Sung Jun comes with a bouquet of lilies. He put the flowers on her coffin and stares at her unsmiling picture for a long time.

"You would rather die than be with me, is it?" He asks the picture, almost hoping to see her ghost arising from her coffin. But even her ghost refuses to answer his question.

"The woman who could make me happy was only you."

Sung Jun doesn't say anything anymore. He leaves the funeral hall. He is sure that his heart also died with Fang Aisa.
