My Joohyun,

How are you? I hope this letter finds you in the pink of health (I’m serious here hahahahaa) How are you?!!!!??? Sorry I was able to reply just now, I was moved to the Marines Joohyun, this is my new address, you can write me here, this is 100x harder than my previous post. I’m happy to be able to sleep for 4 hours a days. Training is excrutiating, there are days I need pain relievers. I don’t know why I was transferred, they told me I was qualified, I thought when they asked me if I wanted a challenged, I will join some sort of a group…like the band or community service or something, I didn’t know I’l be transferred to a whole new different division! Let alone the marines! You know I cried on my first week? But well here I am almost on my 4th month and still alive. Even mom can’t see me for now.. Joohyun, send me some of your words of wisdom, I need it more than ever. I haven’t been in the service for a year but I feel like it’s been 10 years. My body is aching 24/7 my mental health is deteriorating. I think I’m going crazy.

How was the talk, are you on your way to Vienna? Let me know what’s happening with you. I miss you Joohyun. I really really do. Thank you for the care package, I try to limit my use to everything you sent so I won’t run out of stocks, I’ll soon be able to use the scarf and gloves, winter is almost here. I got your picture and moms picture in my bunk so I get to look at it. I also ha
