OLD HABITS | KNJ

VIII.

aloha, areum

don't hate me, please. i beg you to take this
raspberry-flavored juice that i bought for you.
i know there isn't a reason for you to trust me.
not only did i insult your boyfriend and try to
kill your feelings for him, but i also

talked as if i was worthy of you. i'm not. i
hope you know how truly sorry i am, so this
is what the juice is for—my atonement.
somebody once told me you like sweets, so.

please, don't hate me. i know i went past my
limit in the last letter; but i did not wittingly
seek to cause you any emotional discomfort.

p.s. i really hope you enjoy this drink. it's my favorite.
