The Last Message
Episod (01)
Ji Hoon
Ha-rin… are you asleep?
Ha Rin
No… I can’t sleep. You?
Ji Hoon
You know… I missed you a lot tonight, after a long time.
Ji Hoon
I was going through our old messages…
Ha Rin
Oh! From a year ago?
Ji Hoon
Yeah… the one where you said, “Take care, silly.”
Ha Rin
I still remember saying that.
Ji Hoon
I still remember it too… I read it every day.
Ha Rin
Can I tell you something?
Ha Rin
I miss you… so much.
Ji Hoon
Me too… but now, distance is the only truth.
Ha Rin
What if… we could start over?
Ji Hoon
Then I’d look into your eyes and say, “I live for you.”
Ha Rin
Why so emotional all of a sudden?
Ji Hoon
Because it needs to be said… maybe there’s not much time left.
Ji Hoon
Not really… I just check to see if your messages still come.
Ha Rin
Do you… still love me?
Ji Hoon
Never stopped… do you?
Ha Rin
I love you, Ji-hoon.
Ha Rin
But I never had the courage to say it.
Ji Hoon
Didn’t I ask you to wait for me?
Ha Rin
Yes… and I did wait.
Ha Rin
But you… disappeared on your own.
Ji Hoon
I didn’t disappear… I just became weak.
Ha Rin
Why? What happened?
Ji Hoon
I’ll tell you… but promise me, you won’t cry?
Ha Rin
I can’t promise that.
Ji Hoon
My body… it’s not like it used to be…
Ji Hoon
The doctors said… I’m in the final stage.
Ha Rin
No! No! No! This isn’t true! Please say you're joking…
Ji Hoon
Ha-rin… if I could lie, you’d be laughing now.
Ha Rin
I don’t understand anything…
Ha Rin
How can I leave you like this?
Ji Hoon
Just say one thing… “Don’t forget me.”
Ha Rin
I’ll never forget you.
Ji Hoon
Then I can sleep in peace.
Ha Rin
Where are you going?
Ji Hoon
To a place… where no more notifications come…
Ha Rin
Please… let’s meet once more.
Ji Hoon
Someday… maybe… in another time.
Episod (02)
Ha Rin
Ji-hoon… are you okay?
Ha Rin
I’ve been searching for you all night…
Ha Rin
You said you were going to sleep… are you still sleeping?
Ha Rin
Or has that sleep… become a long one?
Last seen: 11:59 PM (previous night)
Ha Rin
I went to your favorite coffee shop today…
Ha Rin
Our table is still empty…
Ha Rin
The coffee cup only has my lipstick stain…
Ha Rin
You used to say, “Love begins in two sips.”
Ha Rin
You're not here… and neither is that taste.
Ha Rin
Today, mom asked, “Why does your face look so sad?”
Ha Rin
I smiled and said, “I last saw Ji-hoon online 3 days ago.”
Ha Rin
Mom didn’t understand, but tears welled up in her eyes…
Ha Rin
If you were here, you’d say, “When the eyes are wet, the heart feels lighter.”
Ha Rin
My heart feels heavy… too heavy today.
Ha Rin
Your profile picture hasn't changed…
Ha Rin
Still that snowy-day smile of ours…
Ha Rin
When you placed snow on my forehead and said,
“In this cold, you still warm my heart.”
Ha Rin
It’s snowing today… but I don’t feel cold.
Ha Rin
Your number is still saved in my phone…
Ha Rin
I called once… when I heard “the number is switched off,” I broke down.
Ha Rin
Did you really leave?
Ha Rin
Or… did you forget me?
Ha Rin
I can’t do this, Ji-hoon… please tell me it was all a lie…
Ha Rin
I want to be by your side.
Ha Rin
Your little brother Tae-hyun called me today…
Ha Rin
I was too scared to answer…
Ha Rin
Later, he messaged just one thing: He’s now at peace. We’ve kept your messages.
Ha Rin
Ji-hoon… please say this is wrong…
Ha Rin
Please… just type one dot… even one…
Ha Rin
You shattered me… even though you said you loved me.
🔕 Not disconnected… but the connection is gone
Ha Rin
I brought a chocolate cake… to feed you.
Ha Rin
You once said, If a cake has no name written, it’s for someone special.
Ha Rin
I didn’t write a name… because now it’s only for your memory.
Ha Rin
Happy Birthday, Ji-hoon.
Episod (03)
Ji-hoon suddenly stops messaging.
Ha-rin starts wondering…
“Did Ji-hoon go abroad? Or… did something bad happen to him?”
She thinks, “I should go meet him. But… where does he live?”
He’s offline. Ha-rin feels helpless with all these unanswered questions.
But the truth… isn’t that simple.
What happens next? Keep reading.
Ha Rin
Ji-hoon, you still haven’t replied…
Ha Rin
I keep checking… last seen: “11:59 PM yesterday.”
Ha Rin
Please… just “seen” it once…
Ha Rin
People are saying you were admitted to the hospital…
Ha Rin
Some say you lost your phone.
Ha Rin
…you’re no longer alive.
Ha Rin
I don’t know what to believe.
Ha Rin
If you're really… gone…
Then how would you even see these messages
Ha Rin
I don’t know if you’re dead…
But I’m dying… a little every day.
Day 5 – Ha-rin’s room, 12:04 AM
Ha Rin
I can’t take this anymore, Ji-hoon…
Ha Rin
I wore your blue sweater today…
Ha Rin
The one where you said — “When you wear this, you look like me.”
Ha Rin
Now I just want to look like you…
Day 6 – Library corner, 1:15 PM
Librarian
“Were you reading this book?”
Librarian
“But there was a note inside — someone’s name was written.”
Ha Rin
(Hands trembling) “Can I see it?”
"I’ll tell her everything – today at exactly 6 PM, at the coffee shop.
— Kim Ji-hoon"
Ha Rin
So… you were coming to see me?!
Day 7 – 6:02 PM, outside the coffee shop
Ha Rin
Did you really come?
Ha Rin
If I had come just one minute earlier…!
Unknown voice: “Ha-rin…?”
Ha Rin
“You… you’re not dead?!”
Ji Hoon
(looking down) “Why did you think that?”
Ha Rin
“You disappeared… didn’t reply… no one said anything!”
Ji Hoon
“I… kept myself away.”
Ji Hoon
“Because… I thought you didn’t love me…”
Ha Rin
(crying) “You idiot!”
Ha Rin
“You don’t know how I waited for your messages every single night?”
Ji Hoon
“After what you said that day… I broke down.”
Ji Hoon
“You said — ‘You never say anything openly!’”
Ha Rin
“Ugh Ji-hoon… I was angry! But deep down… it was always you!”
Ji Hoon
(eyes filled with tears) “Do you know… I wrote a letter for you that night?”
Ji Hoon
“It was in my pocket… but I didn’t have the courage to give it to you.”
Ha Rin
“Give it to me now.”
Ji Hoon
(quietly pulls it out and hands it to her)
I left everything behind for you — even my breath.
If you say the word… I’ll come back.
Ha Rin
“You came back… and I still want only you.”
Ji Hoon
“You still want me?”
Ha Rin
Every day — today, tomorrow, always…
Ji Hoon
(gently takes her hand) “Then let’s begin again?
