"Do you remember the first time we met?"
"I saved you from a group of thugs."
"I asked you to put your arm around me - "
"- you look cute under my pink polka dot umbrella."
"You wanted to laugh."
"But I didn't."
"No, you didn't."
"Because even when you were just a mere stranger back then..."
"...you needed to save me because I was and am that attractive."
"Narcissist."
"You love me still."
"Yes, I do."

"Do you remember the first time fought?"
"What was it about?"
"A pretty stupid matter."
"Aren't they all stupid though?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, I remember."
"Hmm?"
"You were supposed to get the tap repaired."
"Which had been going on for weeks."
"I reminded you countless times."
"Sure, you did."
"Brat."
"You love me still."
"Sure I do."

"Do you remember the first time we kissed?"
"There was a huge downpour."
"We had just finished watching a late-night movie - "
" - a horror movie, yeah..."
"...the one which you screamed your head off."
"I didn't. Wasn't it you?"
"I don't do screams, Cole."
"Oh, really."
"Yeah. We had to make a run for it."
"I almost tripped when you pulled me to a stop so suddenly."
"Because kissing in the rain is romantic."
"Yeah, and I was sick for 3 days."
"You got to taste my fish porridge, didn't you?"
"Which was awfully bland, Hyun."
"You love me still."
"Of course I do."

"Do you remember the first time I sang for you?"
"You were having a sore throat."
"But I really wanted to sing for you because it was your birthday."
"Even though you lost your voice for a few days after that."
"Do you like the song I wrote for you?"
"Of course I do. I love it very much."
"Do you love me as much as you love it?"
"I love you more than anything else."

"Do you remember the time I died?"
"You didn't die, Jonghyun!"
"I did."
"Can you please stop saying that."
"But it's true, Cole. I really died."
"Dammit Lee Jonghyun, you didn't."
"I was lost - "
"Stop it."
" - everything was so white and so empty - "
"Stop it, I say."
" - the thing that got me so afraid was that you weren't there..."
"I'm not listening."
"...I couldn't see you anywhere and I was truly, genuinely afraid."
"But then I heard your...Cole, listen to me - I heard your voice. I didn't know how, but I did. I heard your voice calling out for me."
"Hyun -"
"I woke up...And when I did, I saw you and I knew everything was going to be alright. You’re my angel.”
"You're ruining my mascara."
"Because I knew, despite the odds, despite the risks...you fought through it all. You fought for me."
"You didn't give me much of a choice."
"I couldn't give up, because you didn't."
"I would've killed you with my bare hands if you had."
"Do you still love me?"
"We wouldn't be here right now, having this conversation if I didn't."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes I do."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes, I love you Lee Jonghyun."
