Gyunnie,

Today wasn’t a very good day for me.

Do you remember that Vietnamese guy that you always get jealous of because I asked him to translate some Korean class homework for me?

I am really close with him now as friends. But I do not like him. I am very sad when he minimise my pain and my depression. He does not even know you but he talks as If he was the one in the relationship. He apparently had a crush on a Korean guy but the guy does not like him back.

Secretly – I am very happy. I know that it sounds so bad 🙁 but I feel like I have to listen to his story all the time, the truth is – I do not care about him. All I can think about is .. you. Are you doing well? I hope so.

I will not be going to our university event next week. I am too sad to even go out these days. I dragged my body today to go to university because I need to live my life. Even when I do not want to.

On the good side, today I met Glenn (my old academic english prof) and he was so nice to me. I am so happy to met him. You weren’t wrong when you told me that he was a very nice teacher! He gave me an A plus on his class last semester – one of the happiest moment in my life while in Korea, I gotta say.

Lastly, because I missed you so so so much – I sat in our old bench near the 273 bus stop. Do you remember? I sat and then force myself to stand up and walk to my house again because I know that is what you want me to do. The weather here is still very hot. I wish Fall will come sooner, I want to wear my favourite pink coat.

I miss you. I will talk to you again … very soon. Wear a lot of warm clothes, eat well, and do not drink too much. Tell Jong Min that I said hi! and tell him that I am also very sorry for not keeping my promise to take care of you. Take care, Gyunnie. Be well to your mother and father – do not be very sad.
