Riki, hey
i'm sorry i just wanted
to figure things out
i hope you're doing okay
school's been a pain
in the ass too

well hello
it's finally good to hear
from you again.
i was so close to thinking
i messed things up
09:56pm

you haven't quite used up
your chances yet lol
09:58pm

damn that's risky
10:02pm

I just wanted to talk,
i've been a coward running
from it but you deserve an
explanation atleast
10:05pm

i'd love that,
go on:) i'm listening
10:11pm

i really dk how to say this
without hurting your feelings
but i think i'll have to take
some time off, i really
tried to come to terms
with whatever we have rn
but the academic pressure
is at its peak and i can't really
think about anything clearly.
but please know that it's got
nothing to do with you, it's
just a me-problem and i
just need time to catch up
with life's pace and not
be a mess like i am rn
10:19pm

you're really going through
a rough patch, aren't you?
i want you to take it easy,
let THIS not be a hindrance
to a better version of yourself
and most importantly, life
i'd hate to see you go but
if it's for the best, then i'm
fine letting you take that path
10:22pm

i'm sorry we had to meet
when i'm at my worst,
but trust me, you made
life a little more bearable
and livelier:) i just want
to endlessly thank you for
being there for me all this
time when no one else did.
10:24pm

i hope we get to meet in person
one fine day and have better
conversations maybe over lunch?
10:26pm

that sounds like a plan
i'd love that, Jiwoo
but i wouldn't even know
if we ever bump into each other
cause i still dk what u look like
10:29pm

about that, hmm let's see
maybe trust your guts?
10:30pm

you're unbelievable, Jiwoo
i'm gonna miss this
10:34pm

i won't be too long
but no promises?
10:35pm

no promises,
that's a you-phrase now
i should've known
10:36pm

what can i say?
it helped me quite a lot of times
10:38pm

are you staying in korea?
for college, i mean
10:40pm

i'm still uncertain about that
but i'll let you know?
10:40pm

sure, that'll be great
and more chances of
bumping into each other
i gotta train my instincts
from now on.
10:43pm

oh come on,
you gotta be kidding me
anyway, i'll go now
you take care of yourself
don't cry too much
when i'm gone alright?
10:47pm

you surely like to rub
it in my face, don't you?
it was nice knowing
you i'd say;)
you better not be harsh
on yourself too.
goodbye, Jiwoo
take care
10:48pm

oh before i go
10:49pm

10:50pm

i'm not so bad at
keeping promises after all
i believe? lol
might've been late but that's
still a pic i clicked in osaka
so it totally counts!
but that's the most i could
do right now, still working
on myself y'know?
a goodbye gift maybe?
i'll see you when i see you
10:52pm

Jiwoo,
sometimes people are beautiful
not just in looks or in what they
say, but in what they are.
i want you to know that but
in your case, your looks is
definitely a bonus too.
don't blame me, i'm just
good at admiring art,
i also don't think i need my
gut feelings anymore cause
it's impossible not to notice
those beautiful pair of eyes
even in a huge crowd:)
✓ 11:13pm

you're really gone now
i wish you read that before
you left, i'm sorry
i gotta get used to
not texting you
every night but i really
hope you get to embrace
yourself for who you are
you got this,
so long Jiwoo 🤍

Niki sighed, resting his head on his hands. Unable to fight back the sadness sprouting inside his chest. Why did it hurt so bad?
"Guess you really grew on me, Jiwoo but now you're gone just like that."
