Letter to Ohyul from his sister when he was a trainee (2023.10)
“I hope many people read this letter. I hope everyone knows what a wonderful child you are, how brave and considerate you are, and that you are a well-loved child.”
“One late night, because it's one of the days you come home, our house suddenly became a party hall. You ate so heartily to the extent that we could’ve told you to go start a mukbang and Mom, Dad and Noona were just watching at the sides. Bright and positive, you are just like a vitamin.”
“Our family’s representative little beauty, you somehow grew taller than Dad before we even realized it. Watching you grow makes me feel the flow of time.”
“You have been fair and pretty since you were little. Your eyelashes were longer than mine and they still are. Even from Noona’s perspective, you were pretty so imagine how pretty you really are. I wanted a younger sister but because you were pretty, I used to tie your hair and played beauty salon with you, so I think this makes us even now.”
“You were clearly just the mischievous child who played with legos but at some point you became the one who gives me courage, saying things like, ‘Noona, have confidence. You can do it.’”
“You, who dreamed until dawn, are truly admirable.”
“You, who used to use Mom’s phone to play Minecraft for 10 minutes has now become someone who tells mom, ‘Wait a little more and I will build the world’s greatest house for you.’”
“You, who wanted to become a national representative for speed stacking, practised noisily every day, and now wanted to become a global artist, that it’s hard to even see you anymore.”
“My admirable little brother, you are confident but never arrogant, and you know how to be thankful for even the smallest things.”
“I hope you spread your dreams wide and live happily as someone who shines brightly.”
“Ah, you who came home after a long time today are calling for me. You must be wanting to excitedly play Usher’s song that you like for me. Truthfully, I searched up Usher a little because you said that you liked him. Having you as my younger brother makes me proud. I love you, Ohyul-ah.”
