dear beomgyu,

"what is a kakao?" i asked when you gave me your kakao id. i was confused because i do not know what is that. i didn't know that it was a communication app. i only know facebook and messenger but you do not use it. you said kakaotalk is the most used in korea and you even told me that it is easy to use.

you downloaded the app on my phone and you were the one who made an account for me and set up my kakao id. i was just watching you do ut because i do not know how to. when i learned about it, i realized it was that easy.

at least, you wanted us to stay in contact. i thought we'll never be going to talk again.

hello! | 3:35pm

3:35pm | hi!

"i told you it is easy to use." you said as you taught me the basics of the application. i can see that you are really used to this app and i think i'm gonna like it.

do you remember everything, gyu?

the bracelet you gave me.

you gave me a beaded bracelet with your name on it as a remembrance. you told me you bought it when you went to manila zoo with your family. you said you really liked that bracelet, that's why i asked you why were you giving it to me.

"you gave me something that is very important to you. i'm giving you the same." that was what you answered.

i smiled at what you said. it's true that the snow globe i gave you was very important to me. it was what i always shake whenever i feel sad and tired, whenever i wanted to give up. but it's now yours. i hope that snow globe made you happy like what it made me feel when it was mine.

"please take care of my bracelet. i'm going to check if you still have it when i come back. don't you dare lose it." you said while cutely glaring at me. i promised not to lose it.

i was hoping what you said was true– that you are going to come back and check if i still have your precious bracelet. and i kept my promise– i still have it. but when are you gonna check if i kept my promise?
