Hormonal Soliloquies

"I got on the wrong train, and that very train brought me here. It brought me to the place I've yearned to come every morning and night. It brought me to my destination." —Captain Ri, Episode 16

"At the end of that long dream, I finally made a choice. That even if I go back in the past, even if I do for a hundred more times, I will still choose to meet you." —Se-ri, Episode 15

"Even if I have to worry about losing you every day, I want to have you in my life. Even if it breaks my heart because it's a dream that can't come true, I'd like to sincerely dream of the future." —Captain Ri, Episode 14

"I wonder which one is love. Hoping that you're worrying about me like I am for you and wishing that you're pining for me like I do for you. Is this love? Or on the other hand, is it wishing that you won't be worried about me, that you'll forget about me and all the moments we've shared? Is that love? If it's neither, is it love that I'm willing to go through everything from the very beginning just so I can meet you once again?" —Se-ri, Episode 10

"You're waiting for someone, but even you think that you're pathetic. That's not love. It's an obsession. The love you once had has changed and is now rotting. You should throw it away." —Seung-joon, Episode 10

"I have only been loving myself and hating myself and I have only been protecting myself and abandoning myself. All I had was myself, I didn't have anybody else, so this is awkward for me, having someone else that isn't myself. All along, I had you by my side. Usually, I don't get scared, but now I'm a bit scared. I'm scared something might happen to you. Does this mean you have become a special person for me?" —Se-ri, Episode 7

"Sometimes the wrong train takes you to the right direction. It was like that for me, too. Throughout my life, I always felt like I was on the wrong train. One time, I wanted to give up. I didn't want to go anywhere. So I thought of jumping off the train. Look where I am now. I took the wrong train again, and a very wrong one at that. Still, you should think about the future, even if things don't go as you wish. I hope you arrive at the right station, no matter which train you take." —Se-ri, Episode 5

Maybe the universe arranging our meeting was nothing but a tragedy waiting to happen. Maybe we just aren't meant to be together in the end. But that's the point. That's the point. It's not about The End, because The End is never the end, and it's not about whether or not we end up together. It's all about the fact that somewhere in between our first meeting and this seemingly last one, you have made me happier than I could ever have been without you. You have given me these fleeting moments that helped me get through my broken heart. You have given me the chance to fall in love.

Moving on isn't forgetting. Moving on is being able to remember without hurting.

I don't remember the exact words, but I remember him saying that writing served different purposes for everyone. Some people write to make something ugly beautiful, some write to leave a part of themselves to be remembered, some write to give words soul and meaning, and some write to exist in non-existence.
