The one who will protect you will walk into your life soon. Until then, you must stay strong. You are destined to meet the guy who will keep you safe.

I know. But I don’t know why I waited for you. (Jin Seon Mi)

Even though I don't have family, friends, or a lover, in my life, there's me. Although I'm alone and live well, I'm more affectionate and proud of myself. I want to continue living. That's why I need you. (Seon Mi)

When I was scared, lonely, and even upset, like I am right now, no one was there for me. So I lived my life putting up with acting like I was fine all the time. But now I have someone to call. It is very reassuring. (Seon Mi)

You won’t be able to stop yourself from going. If you’re the person who could never leave her afraid, lonely, or suffering, then you won’t leave her sad either. (Ma Wang)

Giving this back to you even though I’m this cold, does this make any sense to you? My heart hurt all the while I was locked up and after returning, as soon as I saw you, I clearly realised I was hurting because I wanted to see you so badly. If this isn’t love, then what is? (Oh Gong)

When going for a walk in a good mood while listening to good music and breathing in good air, me being next to you should make it even better, no? (Oh Gong)

The things that you like are important to me. From now on, tell me all of them one by one. I can do everything. I can make a mountain out of strawberry ice cream or even paint the whole world green if that’s what you want. (Oh Gong)

I never realized that her not liking me would be this painful.

Don’t leave me behind to go to another man. If you do it on more time, I might actually die. Don’t get angry at me or hate me. I’m saying that it really hurts me. (Oh Gong)

Because of you tell me to die, I will die.

Just hold tight onto me, then we’ll be fine.

I want her to live the ordinary life she wants. Even if it breaks my heart. The thought of not seeing her hurts me so much that I feel like I’ll burst into tears. Yet, I’m getting ready to leave just so she can be happy. Does that make sense? This must be what it’s like to be in love. (Oh Gong)

Even when I just think about not being able to see her, it feels like my heart is being ripped apart to the point that my tears are gushing out. (Oh Gong)

If you keep seducing me, I’m going to fall for it right away. Later on, it’ll end for you. I’ll be left alone and miserable. Even though I know that, I like you more and more. (Seon Mi)

You’re already so pretty like this. Why would I need to look at flowers? I don’t need flowers. Don’t get hurt. Even though I’ll still think you’re pretty with the scar, it upsets me. (Oh Gong)

For us, once we have a relationship, it lasts forever. If we commit a betrayal, we pay with our lives. (Oh Gong)

You're pretty. Because I love you. (Oh Gong)

You look pretty even in ragged outfit and even when you’re angry. You’re just pretty in whatever you do. (Oh Gong)

Although it’s a path that I was forced into against my will, in the end, being here with you is nice. (Oh Gong)

You can marry me again. No matter how many times you come to be my bride, I'll accept you. (Oh Gong)

Whenever you're struggling or scared or in danger, call my name, I'll appear and protect you. Because I love you.

Don't cry. I'll cry when my coffin's nailed shut.
