Dear SEVENTEEN [SEVENTEEN Fanfic]

Letter 14

Letter 14

Dear me,

I know, it's a little silly to write a letter to myself. But I want myself to know that this past Suri has went through some tough times and memorable times at the same time. I want the future Suri to know that despite all the downs in life, there are also ups.

I love bookmarks.

That was random, I know, but there's a meaning behind why I love them.

Our lives are like a book we hold in our hands. We read them and flip the pages, one by one. Each page is filled with words, emotion, feelings and people. Every thing about one page is as memorable as the next.

Why the bookmark then?

Because there will be a point where we start reading the bad that begins in a chapter. At that point, we'll get frustrated with that chapter and want to stop. That's where the bookmark comes along. It's to indicate that we can't avoid the bad from happening, but we can somehow slow it down or stop for just a moment.

It's the same for the good in a chapter. At some point, we have to stop reading and take a break from that book. We put a bookmark to stop where we are and leave it for a while. It's like pausing at the good times or slowing it down for even just a while.

Writing thirteen letters to the friends who I can't forget about no matter what, I've come to realize something. Friends come and go. They come from all walks of life. It doesn't necessarily start off with a hello and it doesn't always end with a goodbye. Sometimes, we just pick up a random page and begin reading it.

Maybe I won't be able to see some of them in the future, but if I did, I'll be happy enough to know that they returned. That they came back to me.

Even if they didn't, I'm happy enough I was able to spend times with them even if it was short. I'm happy enough that I'm able to be friends with them and maybe stay in their memories, like how they are in mine.

With every hello, a goodbye comes along. With every rain, a rainbow appears. I'm grateful to meet friends as amazing as them. Well, with the exception of one. Minghao, let's be friends next time! Ha-ha, I sound crazy.

Oh gosh, this letter is getting messy with my random scribbles now. Oops. But, yeah, future Suri, I hope you'll remember these adorable dorks you call friends! Ha-ha! Don't forget them! Don't forget the memories they gave you, the things they've help change about you and the feelings they've made you feel!

Oh, and one more thing before I stop writing.

Friends are just like fingerprints. There's no one else like them.

Love,

Song Suri.
