It was a crisp autumn morning when the members of Seventeen gathered in their dorm's common area, their usual lively atmosphere subdued by the recent departure of Jeonghan for his mandatory military service.
The once-vibrant space felt emptier without him, his playful quips and gentle pranks sorely missed.
For days, they'd been pushing aside the hollow feeling that lingered in their hearts, trying to adjust to a new rhythm of life without him.
But something deeper had started to settle, an unspoken heaviness that weighed on each of them.
That morning, Joshua, closest to Jeonghan in spirit, stumbled upon the first of the letters.
He had been searching the corner bookshelf, the one that had been there since they first moved in together, when a small envelope slid out from behind one of the books.
The envelope was simple, cream-colored, and unadorned except for his name,
"Joshua" written in Jeonghan's familiar handwriting.
"Hey, what's this?"
Joshua muttered to himself, turning it over in his hands.
Something about the envelope made his heart skip a beat. He sat down slowly, opening the letter with care.
Inside was a handwritten note, Jeonghan's voice spilling out from the page in his elegant, slightly slanted script. _
Joshua,
By the time you find this, I'll be gone, probably making friends in the barracks, you know how charming I can be. But I wanted to leave you something behind, something I couldn't bring myself to say before leaving. I guess I'm better with words when they're written, not spoken.
You've always been my balance, the one who grounds me when I get lost in my thoughts. I never told you this, but your quiet strength has kept me going through a lot of dark times. I'm not always the most serious person, but with you, I've always felt like I could be more real. Thank you for always seeing me for who I am.
Don't worry too much while I'm gone. I know you will, but promise me you'll take care of the others for me. They'll need you.
