Into the book
Come to think of it, Yang Seo-ah had always silently accepted Baek Young's pranks.
This may have been the reason why Baekyoung was able to approach Yang Seo-ah actively even though she didn't show much of a reaction.
Even though he always touched the tip of his nose and lied to avoid her, his expression was always 'embarrassed', not 'displeased'. He couldn't figure out why he was embarrassed, but the emotion that immediately hit Baekyoung was regret. If there had been more time, maybe they could have become close.
Although they had contact information and said they would contact each other often, the person they met through text messages was somehow too stiff, so Baek-young, who had started his doctoral program, could not bring himself to contact Yang Seo-ah even as days, weeks, and months passed.
--- p.20~21
The space agency sent a warning to the doctor who continued to advance towards the Great Hall.
I persuaded him.
If we go any further, we will reach an area where we cannot be rescued, and since we have little fuel left, we can turn around and come back now.
According to the space agency's report, you... still went ahead.
You continued to accelerate beyond our galaxy, exceeding the return fuel limit.
The space agency's radar has reached its detection limit at the boundary you crossed.
The only one who knows the scenery beyond that is you, Doctor.
What did the scenery before Dr. Yang's eyes look like at that time? What captivated him so much that he left Earth?
--- p.76~77
The light from beyond the sky approaches.
Although it is clear that it is Yang Seo-ah herself who is approaching, the subject seems to have been reversed due to the distance.
Meanwhile, the overwhelming feeling of longing still lingers towards Baekyoung.
Yang Seo-ah now seemed to know the reason for something.
He smiled sadly for the first and last time in the warp drive spaceship, left alone.
Even though in space, where there is no medium, sound cannot reach Earth, I hope that the meaning of that smile reaches Baekyoung.
--- p.157
This universe is truly generous, giving us this opportunity to share our feelings, even though it only lasts for a fleeting moment.
The capacity of the Grand Duke is gradually reaching a level where he can transmit reliably.
Ah, now that I've actually started writing, I have so much more to say. There's still so much I haven't written, so much I haven't been able to convey.
It will be difficult, but I will try to move forward.
I'll try my best to get there.
I will try to become a person who is not ashamed.
I will try to become someone who can walk beside you, not behind you.
It can't change right away. It might take a very long time.
…so could you please come back?

Publisher's Review
The story of two people who end up saving each other.
A sci-fi romance that will reach you beyond time and space.
Romance is attractive no matter what genre it's mixed with, but it shines even more when combined with fantasy or science fiction.
This may be because the emotion of romance is maximized when the crisis of two characters is depicted dramatically and fantastically.
"The Last Proof" is a near-future science fiction romance novel by author Lee Ha-jin, who has been active since her debut with "The Continuity of a Certain Person."
One day, an unidentified meteorite falls into the yard of astrophysicist Baek Young's house.
Baek Young, who had left the meteorite alone because it was difficult to handle, sees it broken into an unusual shape a few days later and is reminded of Dr. Yang Seo-ah, who left Earth two years ago.
And he starts writing an email to Yang Seo-ah that will never be delivered.
It was so natural for Baek Young.
Although the two were physically separated, they never forgot each other.
"The Final Proof" shows how the value of "love," often considered fragile and naive, can become stronger when it reaches a dead end.
Many people say that love is selfless, but sometimes love acts selfishly toward those other than the person involved.
Just as Baek-yeong went back in time to save Yang Seo-ah, and Yang Seo-ah went through space to save Baek-yeong.
However, in "The Final Proof," even the exclusivity of such love ultimately becomes the key to saving everything, and emerges as a force that sustains the world in an age of destruction.
So, this is a story about a strong desire to save one person that ends up saving the world.
In an age where the importance of love is more important than ever, yet the word "love" is often misused or abused, "The Final Proof" will offer a vast miracle to readers' hearts.
Where do unspoken feelings ultimately go?
A letter to you, beyond the universe, who will never be reached
There are many adjectives that can be attached to 『The Final Proof』.
This is author Lee Ha-jin's first light novel, a science fiction romance, and a novel adapted from the short story "The Last Gift."
However, if I had to describe 『The Final Proof』 in just one word, I would have to say that it is ultimately a story about the 'heart.'
Baek Young's letter, which takes up a large portion of the work, and Yang Seo-ah's letter, which appears only twice, can be said to be the highlight of 'The Last Proof'.
The two continue to write to each other, even though they know they will never receive a response.
No matter how hard they try to suppress it, the longing that pours out makes them bitter.
In particular, the letters that Baek-yeong wrote in the beginning that Yang Seo-ah never gets to see are delicately expressed as regret and self-reproach for not being able to protect something precious, and resentment toward the other person who disappeared like smoke.
Baek Young's letter asks the reader a question.
"Where do these unspoken feelings ultimately go?" The author answers this question as follows.
Still, I will send light.
With anticipation.
I will continue to send them.
I could have gone back in time, right? In this universe, absurd things keep happening.
It's as if our absurd stories, even though they diverged, eventually connected.
_176p
The stories of Baek-yeong and Yang-seo-ah, separated by a vast space, may not be intertwined as Baek-yeong says, but rather parallel.
There is no promise between the two, and the possibility of them meeting physically seems very slim.
But if one of the two parallel lines deviates even slightly, they will eventually meet, even if it takes an eternity.
And what can create that beautiful frame is, of course, the ‘heart.’
