Sunshine
eonni!

Ride Or Die
namdongsaeng!

Sunshine
How's America?

Ride Or Die
Oh AiDi the states are amazing,
Charlie absolutely loves it here

Sunshine
Well I mean she's still a baby
so she'll love anywhere you and Felix go 😂

Ride Or Die
Haha true
But seriously,
there's this little park
near the hotel and Charlie
love slaying there she
will cry every time we have to come back

Sunshine
Understandable she loves the park
How is she? You said she had a mild fever a while ago

Ride Or Die
she's good,
hasn't had a fever since we
came to the US
but fingers crossed
that she doesn't again anytime soon

Sunshine
I don't blame you, those fans were brutal the last time you and Charlie didn't go to the last show in Tokyo because she got sick

Ride Or Die
They will always find something to say

Sunshine
When are you coming back anyway?

Ride Or Die
Once they finish the US tour.
I have work that I need to catch up on

Sunshine
I heard you talking with mom and dad about possibly moving to South Korea permanently is that true?

Ride Or Die
Yes

Sunshine
When?

Ride Or Die
I haven't figured it out
Felix thinks it would be best if Charlie and I moved to SK once they are down with their tour that way we can get settled in before SKZ can start on their next album

Sunshine
Take me with you pleaseeee eonni!

Ride Or Die
You know I would love nothing more than to bring you along so you can keep me and Charlie company while Felix and the others are in the studio or at rehearsals...plus you have classes to attend to

Sunshine
I can always transfer to a college in Korea

Ride Or Die
What's the real reason you want to move with me to SK, AiDi? I asked you before if you'd want to move with me and that you could transfer to a college there remember? It was before Charlie was even born and Felix and I had agreed that it would be best for us to stay in Australia until Charlie was older.

Ride Or Die
Did something happen at college?
And don't said nothing because I know you

Sunshine
................

Sunshine
There's this guy in one of my classes

Ride Or Die
Okay, go on

Sunshine
And well I overheard his conversation
with a couple of our class mates

Sunshine
Remember I told you that a really cute guy had asked me out?

Ride Or Die
I believe so,
what does this have to do with this guy?

Ride Or Die
Wait is he the same guy?

Sunshine
Yes

Ride Or Die
Okay what happened then?

Sunshine
Well it turned out he asked me out because of a dare he made with our class mate

Sunshine
Eonni, I feel so stupid. I thought he genuinely liked me, but it was all just a dare for him. I overheard him and our classmates laughing about it, saying how they couldn't believe I actually fell for it. It's so embarrassing, and I just feel so hurt and foolish.

Ride Or Die
Namdongsaeng, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. That's incredibly insensitive and disrespectful of him to treat you that way. You deserve someone who appreciates you for who you are and respects your feelings. Please don't blame yourself for believing in his intentions; you trusted him, and he betrayed that trust.

Sunshine
I don't know why it hurts so much. I usually brush off these things, but this time it just feels different. I guess I let my guard down more than I realized.

Ride Or Die
It's okay to feel hurt and vulnerable, AiDi. We all have moments when our defenses are down, especially when we're hopeful for a genuine connection. But please remember that his actions are a reflection of his character, not your worth. You are strong, kind, and deserving of love and respect. Don't let his thoughtless behavior diminish your light.

Sunshine
Thank you, eonni. Your words mean a lot to me, and I appreciate your support. I just needed to vent and share this with you. I'm grateful to have you to confide in and lean on during tough times like this.

Ride Or Die
I'm always here for you, through the good times and the bad. You can lean on me, vent to me, and share anything with me. We'll get through this together, and I'll always be by your side. Let's focus on healing and moving forward from this hurt, stronger and more resilient than before. Remember, you are loved, valued, and cherished, always.

Sunshine
Thank you, eonni. Your belief in me gives me strength and courage to face whatever comes my way. I'm lucky to have you as my sister and my rock. I love you, Hana.

Ride Or Die
I love you too, AiDi.
