The Fourth Letter
Letters to Chen
Dear Chen,
Sure! Let's skip the title of "acquaintances" to "friends" already. If we're going to be conversing, we might as well be comfortable with each other.
On a random note, did you notice that society is becoming colder? I mean, it's difficult to trust anyone.
I only have one true friend, my dongsaeng. We are not related, but he's the only one who truly understands me.
Everyone else ignores me.
I may be plainer and more silent than anyone else, but is that a reason to single me out?
Society is confusing, in my opinion.
Do you agree with me?
Yoojin.
Dear Yoojin,
I understand you completely.
I have only five true friends. The rest are only there to use my family's connections.
I want to try to understand those kind of people, but it's hard.
If you earn the trust and respect of a person, your duty is to return it twice the amount, right?
But why does majority of society do quite the opposite?
I agree with you whole-heartedly,
Chen.
