HAN SUA LETTER TO KARINA 💌 her impact to other people 🫂 To Jimin, who asks me where I'm going every time I get up. Jimin, You have saved me so much without even realizing it. Do you remember that day? The day I cried the moment you opened our front door and walked in. Isn't it strange? Even when I was alone, I was doing everything I could to hold back my tears. How did they suddenly come pouring out the moment I saw you? Even though I was the one who had burst into tears, u simply hugged me without showing any sign of surprise even as I sat there feeling flustered. You had prbbly put so much thought into buying me a whole bunch of jellies & drinks but u just left them aside as though they were nothing. And then what did we do? Did we pick up the jellies that had fallen? Or did I remove the little clump of hair extensions stuck to your hair? We laughed just as we normally did & teased each other for no reason didn't we? Jimin, that's when I realized that one person can help another person endure. You know how those lines are so common in dramas & movies? Things like, "You saved me" or "I endured because of you." Honestly, I used to think those were rather weak things to say. As I mentioned earlier, I suppose I also thought they were just clichés. But I was wrong. I was being arrogant. I think that when we fall apart, the strength that eventually helps us get back up comes from other people. Whether through our own will or someone else's. I guess I had already thought that relying on someone meant having to embrace the sense of loss that comes from their absence, too. Now that I've written it down, I feel embarrassed because I sound like such a coward. Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might still be living my life thinking that enduring everything alone and carrying on bravely was what it meant to live. The fact that you're by my side may not make living feel easier every single time, but it can make it a little less frightening. I hope I can be that kind of friend to you, too. Someone whose presence makes your heart feel at ease as you go through life. Like a little item that makes you feel comfortable just by having it with you. Some people might say that being this sentimental about a friendship that's only a little over a year old is over the top, but aren't people naturally a little excessive when it comes to the things they love? We're always having so much fun together that we could never get tired of each other. I have every confidence that we'll keep having fun together until we're old ladies. I wonder what it'll be like when we're in our 60s and 70s? I just imagined it, and it looks like it'd be so damn fun. Let's keep having fun together until we become wonderful old ladies!! I love you, Jimin. Perhaps love is all contained within friendship after all. From Sua, who always enjoys waking you up when you fall asleep while we're lying down watching a movie. P.S. I missed you so, so much, too.
