How are you doing?
Lately, I miss you even more than usual.
There are so many things I want to talk about over a drink with you,
but I have no one to lean on now.
I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you as often as I did last year.
The more I think of you, the harder I push myself to keep working,
because that’s what you wanted, right?
But now, I think it’s starting to get a bit overwhelming. Haha, I don’t know.
Am I doing well?
Your absence feels especially heavy these days, my friend.
I just miss you so much.
I love you.
Happy Moonbin Day 💜— Eunwoo

Happy birthday, Moonbin!
