Jiyoon's letter she left at her birthday cafe.
"Hello, it’s Jiyoon :)
There have been so many things I’ve wanted to say, and just knowing I can finally share them today already makes me feel relieved. While my time felt like it was standing still, I endured by thinking, “Maybe the reason I’m going through something this difficult is so that one day, I can understand someone else’s loneliness more deeply.”
Having fans by my side is the most miraculous thing that has ever happened to me, and thanks to that miracle, I was able to endure. Now, I’ve become someone who cannot live without you. We feel the same way, right? We have to take responsibility for each other, right?
I still have a long way to go before I’m fully grown, but I feel like I’ve taken at least one more step forward. I missed you to the point of going crazy, but now I feel like I can finally dream again, even if those dreams are dark.
Thank you for spending my second birthday together with me. Please be happy :)
P.S. I worried it might sound cliché, so I kept it to myself all this time, but today I want to say it… I love you.
These are words my puppies (fans) once wrote to me. They comforted me, but they’re also words I want to say to them, so I’m writing them here:
It’s okay, you can let go.
I love even your imperfect self.
The road is never always straight.
It’s okay, that’s natural.
When your time begins to flow again, we’ll be together.
Our love goes both ways, so it will never fail to reach you.
I hope your darkness will only ever be a dark dream.
Don’t leave.
Thank you, truly, to all of you."
