No matter how genuine love is, and no matter how beautiful it may be, if being together will only cause pain to both people, then Pagjae chooses to let go. Knowing that if there really is a next life, she might choose him again, she lets him go with a heart hardened by love, without looking back even once.
As for who suffers more—the one who misses someone or the one who is being missed—there may be no definite answer. But in the next 999 lifetimes, Pagjae, a great warrior, will still have to painfully turn her back on the people she loves.
In the end, whether love means being able to have someone or having the courage to let them go, what truly matters is how deeply two people have loved each other. Chapter 4 leaves us with one question: Do we have the same courage as Pagjae—the courage to sacrifice and let go for the sake of someone we love?
The person who once said, “I don’t want to be anyone’s girlfriend,” is now someone’s wife, and Tom still cannot understand how that happened. Summer was never certain about anything with Tom, but with this person, everything became certain. After meeting him, she finally understood the kind of love Tom had once talked about.
Summer came to accept that everything Tom had said about love and soulmates was actually true. The only thing Tom got wrong was believing that Summer was his soulmate.
Never knowing what it feels like to lose someone may be the kind of love everyone wishes for. But true love is not just about a few short, happy moments. It is about the millions of little things that come together—arguing in the car, giving each other emotional support when needed, being strong for one another, protecting each other during moments of weakness, growing together, taking care of each other, and countless other small things.
That is what real love is.
Life itself is not made up of only short, happy moments. And if we are talking about forever, then life is even longer.
