A/N: Idk why I struggled so much writing this chapter- I couldn’t put my thoughts into words, so this is the best I could do :( Promise the next letters are deffo a lot more interesting. Also sorry for the late update- I’ve got exams so I’ve been concentrating on those.

Also, please comment what you think!

 

Dear Baekhyun,

A series of events have led up to this much overdue letter. I mean, it’s been over a month since my last one, during which a few things made me realize that endlessly praising you in the past couple of letters may have actually made you uncomfortable, rather than grateful, although that most definitely wasn’t my intent.

————

Baekhyun paused his reading and raised eyebrows in surprise; how did she know how I felt? Am I that predictable?

————

I just wanted to let you know through those letters how grateful I was for you and the impact our friendship had on my life.

This also made me feel the need to clarify a few things though, because looking at everything from your perspective, I think I may have come across as a little…different… to what I expected and that there might have been a few misunderstandings.

The first being that I never once put you high up on a pedestal or anything, Baekhyun – Yes, I was quite dependant on you at first and looked up to you as a person from time to time, but I didn’t see you as someone unapproachable or on a different level. You were (are?) my friend.

The second thing I need to clear up is that I feel like I’ve made you out to be a saint; but the thing is you never were. You were simply a human like me, who also had embarrassing moments and made mistakes too. Which brings me on to my main point (yes bt

Chapter 12: I just read all the chapters! The letter format is such a fun idea, I feel like they can leave such an impact. And they’re pretty fun to write—so it’s kinda a win win lol! Haewon seems so sweet, and I really can’t quite put my finger on what her feelings for Baekhyun are??? Like is the way she talks just out of the feeling of remembering a friend who you can’t quite get over, or cuz she likes him...Idk but! It made me want to read more about there past, like I was picturing the scenes she was remember (which really puts you in like Baekhyuns shoes, by like having to look back at a memory that may be fuzzy or sum lol.) I’m kinda rambling on, but I am fitting multiple chapters comments in oneXD I really wanna see what it’ll be like when they meet at the reunion!!! Gotta stop myself from shipping them so soon haha! I’m excited to read the next letter!

Chapter 12: The strange feeling i got after reading her letter is still there.. lingering all over her letter but i could not exactly tell what is it.

It seems like she really has to went or go through a lot, and yet her only best friend ghosting her. She must be so lonely that’s why it came through ‘dear Baekhyun’ :(

Chapter 10: I feel a bit strange with that “bye” too. I don’t know why i feel like she was facing the half-dead issue, like she was dying when I read the letter ? Maybe because of my paranoid but that bye worried me a lot. I hope it’s not that case.

Btw, this writing style is refreshing and interesting! You did a really good job

Chapter 10: This letter makes me kinda worry. I feel like when Haewon wrote this one, she was kinda holding back everything. She said that she wrote this so she could continue with the moving on process but I think somehow she also knew that it'll be even harder to moved on because she had to keep recalling their memories. Especially their happy ones or like she said, the memories where maybe Baek left some clues for her here and there but she didn't realize it.
I feel like she's also tried to tell herself that it's okay, when it's definitely not. She wanted to get really mad at Baek but she knew she didn't had the right to do so and Baek has his own life. He doesn't owe her anything. Maybe she thinks this way when she wrote this letter. In conclusion, she tried to justify all of things that Baek did. When in reality, we all knows that she has the right to be mad at him. She's allowed to do so. Haewon is such a complicated person.
Thank you for the update! Sorry for my late comment! I hope you're doing well. See yoh ♥
