A 30-year-old man who lost his girlfriend due to the Itaewon crowd crush moved people to tears with his emotional text messages.
On October 29th, B (30), lost his same-aged girlfriend A, forever. It is known that A and a friend went to Itaewon for a night’s out, and got stuck in the tragic crowd crush.
According to B, he reported a missing person case after losing contact with A, and went to the police. He also went to over 10 hospitals before finally being informed that his girlfriend was receiving treatment at another hospital. Hearing this, B held onto the hope that his lover would recover, but she ended up passing away and a funeral was held.
Talking about his girlfriend, B said, “She lost consciousness, unable to breathe. Then, after CPR, she breathed again but constantly fainted. I heard she went into cardiac arrest. Her friend had a phone, so she arrived at the hospital with her. The friend felt extremely guilty for being the only survivor.”
Text messages that B sent to his girlfriend via Kakaotalk were also revealed, and netizens were moved to tears over the hopelessness through each and every text sent.
Below are the content of B’s messages:
- Where are you?
- You told me you’d be home by 10:30
- It has been an hour, but I can’t contact you
- Did you lose your phone?
- I heard that over 20 people are receiving CPR at Itaewon
- Did something happen?
- Why can’t I contact you?
- I am panicking
- What happened
- Please, I hope that nothing happened
- Please contact me if you are able to read these messages
- I am coming to you right now
- So please, be fine
- Please wait for me, I will do everything to find you
- Please please I hope you are find
- Please…
- Please
- A, I love you
- You will be able to get through this
- You are my beloved
- So I will give you all my strength so you can get through this
- I love you
- I really cherish you”
Even until the last second, B crossed his fingers in hope that A will be able to recover. He waited at the hospital from 5 AM to 9:30 AM on October 30th, at the same time continued to text.
- There are so many people at the hospital, so you must be feeling greatly inconvenienced right now
- Let’s recover and we can go out to eat good food
- I can’t do anything when you are in the ER
- I will find you soon, then you can tell me to do anything
- So please, recover
B’s final message to A was “I miss you, I love you so much”, but A, unfortunately, passed away and was never able to read any of B’s words.
Later on, B shared about his girlfriend in tears, “She always sends me long messages before we go to sleep and tells me things like, ‘You have worked hard today’. She never tells others about her difficulties, and always supports me and cheers for me. The friend who came to Itaewon with her told me she was going to propose to me after a year of dating.”
