Came across this on Twitter, thought i should share it too since it's from another point of view with regards to the recent news. It's actually a letter from a SONE to others too. So this is how it goes:

I see a lot of fans saying that they feel so happy for the girls but the thing is, as a Sone myself, I could see the sadness behind each word that they said.

No matter how hard you try to accept the fact that they are taken, you can't help but feel a part of you missing because you know that they are not just taken, but they are taken away from you, taken away from the fandom, taken away from Sones... and no matter how hard you try, when a picture of them comes by your timeline, you can't look at them the same way you did just week ago.

Although they do not know you, and perhaps they never will, but your love for them sometimes is more than you could ever imagine.

We never thought that we would love someone so much till the point that it hurts. Admit it, you could feel your heart breaking into pieces when you heard that they were confirmed dating.

HOWEVER... we are not being selfish, we are not being delusional, but we feel like we are loving something that could never love us back personally.

The girls know us as a Sone, not as an individual.

But yet, we try our best to support them, love them and cherish the moment we still have left. We know the girls would want us to be happy for them. We are happy, we are excited & we are supporting, but we are hurt.

Being a part of this fandom and falling in love over each member was the best choice we've ever made, so we could not lie and say that we are happy when a guy comes in and snatched what we thought was ours eternally.

Issues like these are often sensitive and people have many different kinds of views (which is more than just one or two sides). What people post online are just how they themselves feel about these news and it doesn't entirely represent the whole fandom or what else. Till the end of the day, they are still SNSD, and we'll still be SONEs.
