Dear Jimin,

Two days ago, a letter dropped through our mail box and you won't believe what it was about. It was an acceptance letter for you to join the contemporary dance company you aimed for. I was so proud of you when I tore open the letter to read the contents. You were accepted! And to one of the nation's most famous companies no less!

But as I reread the letter over and over again, I felt myself getting sad and soon I think a frown etched onto my face. You weren't here. Which meant that you can't go. As a sign of respect, I wrote a letter back saying that I was sorry to bring them bad news.

It pained me to reject their acceptance letter. After all, you had worked so hard for it with the countless nights of close to no sleep and that horrendous diet where you only ate small portions. It was to the point that if I placed you on house arrest, you would be knocked out for perhaps more than a day.

I hated that period of time. You were so weak and easily got sick. I don't think I can even count the number of times I sent you to Tae for a checkup and some antibiotics, which you hated to take since they affected your metabolism. But you always listened and was good when I told you that it was for your own good.

And now you're no longer here.
I miss you, hyung.

Yours,
Jungkook
