Yes you will still want to save them. They are your friend. And Jesus still wants to save people who reject him. He is always seeking them, making his love known, and doing everything possible to bring them to himself, but ultimately the person has to choose to love him, choose the right, and choose to obey the truth. If they don't, there's nothing more Jesus can do. He tries and tries and tries until eventually, you know, there's nothing to be gained by more trying. The person has to choose on their own.
