How was last night? I don’t know for certain when you’ll receive this letter, but I suspect you received it today. I’m right, aren’t I? (Remember, I can foresee everything.) Hehe, did you sleep with him? Jihyun, that old man, he seems like a nice person with lots of money. But he’s not really cute, don’t you think? Jihyun, that old man, he seems like a nice person with lots of money to whom you should feel grateful for what he’s done for you. But he’s too pale, don’t you think? Okay. Are you going to marry him? If you love him, I guess that shouldn’t be a problem, but I was just wondering. Can I offer you some advice?
I ask you to reconsider your decision to be with him, if you are only with him for his support during the difficult times. We need to directly face the confusion, scarcity, and despair. We must endure the present. What I’m trying to say is that the problems don’t go away even if you flee under the wings of a supporter, under his shade. (To be entirely honest, I’m blinded by jealousy, so I don’t really know what I’m talking about. I know you need security and a sense of peace more than anything, but I’m afraid you will go away somewhere safe, somewhere far away with this man, and I love you.)
