He's been staring at the box for a few minutes before realizing what to do next. He wanted to know every detail of the letters he missed reading. One by one he arranged them by dates.




His chest felt tighter seeing that you wrote him a letter almost every week in the past years right after you last said your goodbyes. You also sent him greeting cards on his birthdays and during Christmas. He was tempted to read the latest letter dated just a month ago but decided to start from the beginning instead.




Jungkook,

It breaks my heart to cause you pain. I never thought I had to let you go again despite loving you sincerely. Maybe this is our fate, to be in each other's past and nothing more.

I hope you find the right person who can love you the way you deserve to be loved. I wish you stop blaming yourself for what happened between us and move on from all this soon.

I'm cheering for you no matter what.

Eun-ji



You wrote that first letter on the night when you last saw him in your house. But it took time before you had the guts to send it. All of the things you wanted to say got caught in your throat the moment he hugged you that day.




So after he left, you cried your heart out all night and found yourself on your desk writing Jungkook a letter. Little did you know that it's just the first out of all the many letters you'll be sending him in the next months.




Jungkook went through all your letters and recreated the time you've been apart like a puzzle. It was like he never left, you wrote about everything that happened in your week, even the meals you ate for the entire day. You sometimes ran out of things to tell him that you ended up writing him lyrics of the songs you've been listening to.




Then he got to that part when you started telling him about your dwindling relationship. Jungkook's heart raced as he scrambles through the last ones of your letter. There must be something you wanted him to do. Would you want him back in your life?



You didn't tell him straight up through the letters. You just started real slow, saying that things in the house hasn't been good. It all began when Taehyung started pointing out how you've changed. You kept on telling him he's just imagining things but he wouldn't listen.



You got into the smallest arguments that led to bigger ones. It came to that point when your nights became endless marathons of bickering over just about anything. Needless to say that it was tiring. Then one day he just disappeared. You were left alone again and you felt so tired that you let it be. After a few days, Taehyung went back and that's when you both knew that it's over.



Taehyung asked for your forgiveness knowing in his heart that he gave up long ago. He knew he's not the right person who can fill the void that's been in your heart all this time. He blamed himself for not being a friend and instead took advantage of the situation, standing by you despite your vulnerability.



Although Taehyung did make you happy, there was always something missing in your eyes every time he made you smile. After realizing he can't give you what you truly deserve, Taehyung knew exactly what to do... walk away.



Jungkook's hands were trembling realizing what the current situation is. He just read the word "divorce" and he can't seem to wait any longer, now he's tearing off the envelop containing your last letter.


Jungkook,

I've bored you with my letters huh? I keep thinking what if you're reading them and just throwing them away. I don't expect you to write me back, I honestly don't but sometimes I feel like you're totally ignoring me because you've moved on.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing but I miss you so much and I'd do anything to see you again. I'll be in Seoul next month and I want to take this last chance.

If you still feel the same and you're willing to give us a chance, meet me at Namsan Tower on February 14th at 7PM.

I know it's cliche to meet on Valentines day but I'll take my chance even if it's our last.

Love always,
Eun-ji
