Ask any ENGENE what they look forward to before ending their day, and I think most of us would give you the same answer, waiting for SUNOO’s DM. Because somehow, no matter how ordinary the day has been, it never quite feels complete until we’ve heard from you. And maybe because coming to us has become such a natural part of your everyday life, you don’t realize that somewhere around the world, there are thousands of people whose days become a little more bearable simply because you showed up. You may think you’re just leaving us a few words before going about your day, but to some of us, those words are the softest place our hearts get to land before falling asleep. You probably go on with your night after sending them, never knowing how many people went to sleep a little happier because you remembered to come by. And there’s something about that which makes our hearts ache. While we open your messages with the excitement of someone being visited by a person they love, you might open yours and find words that make you wish you could close your eyes and unread them. We wish we could reach through those screens and gather every cruel word before it ever finds you. How unfair that someone who has made so many people feel less alone could ever be made to feel alone by the very words of others. Sunoo, please don’t let strangers become the narrators of a life they have never lived. Don’t let people who have only ever met the version of you they see through a screen make you forget the person you are when nobody is watching. Their words are not a mirror. They do not get to tell you what you are worth. We wish that for every unkind word you have ever read, you could somehow hear the thousands of thank-yous that never made it into your inbox. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for remembering us. Thank you for making an ordinary day feel a little less ordinary. Thank you for being Sunoo, even on days when being yourself might not feel easy. And perhaps this is something we don’t tell you enough. You don’t have to keep giving us pieces of your day just to remain a part of ours. You don’t have to arrive with a smile, find the right words, or turn your feelings into something beautiful for us to receive. We would rather miss a hundred goodnight messages than have you feel obligated to send one with a hurting heart. We hope you know that you are not only loved for the happiness you bring into our lives. You are loved even when there is nothing you can give us, even when all you have to offer the world is yourself. You have spent so many nights making our days feel complete, Sunoo. We hope life finds its own ways of being kind to you, especially on the days when you need it most. You don’t always have to be the reason someone smiles. Sometimes, we just want life to give you a reason to smile, too. We love you beyond the messages, beyond the smiles, and beyond all the little pieces of yourself you share with us. You never have to keep reminding us why we should love you, Sunoo. We hope you never mistake all the love you give us as the reason you deserve ours. You were worthy of it long before you ever gave us anything. SUNOO COMPLETED OUR DAY #도토리_항상_사랑해 #엔하이픈_선우 #SUNOO @ENHYPEN_members @ENHYPEN
