BGM: Lo que mas by Shakira

--

Dear Jessie,

I got your letter.

Finally.

Five years overdue.

Krystal gave it to me.

I couldn’t believe she’s Soojung. You never told me about her English name. She’s all grown up, really tall too. I thought she’s a model. She’s so pretty and she’s really nice. She even drove me home. Are you sure you’re not adopted?

Kekekeke~~ Just kidding.

You have the same eyes but your forehead is definitely wider. You should have sent me pictures of you two together so I could have known. The last picture you sent me was the one in the hospital when she was born. How would I be able to know it’s her?

She’s really well-mannered when she talks and so lady-like when she walks. I even felt a little envious that she’s more feminine than me.

You’ve been a good sister to her haven’t you?

I can tell.

She really likes you.

Do you tuck her to bed at night?

I remember I used to ask you to read me stories when I couldn’t sleep in the hospital.

The Little Mermaid

Cinderella

Snow White

Beauty and the Beast

Aladdin

Peter Pan

You would tell me ‘you don’t want to’ and that it’s so childish but you’ll end up doing what I want you to do anyway. You can’t resist my charms, can you?

You must have read the same stories to her, right?

Do you hold her hands when she’s scared?

Remember when those nurses used to inject me with those scary long needles? You would hold my hands and say it’s going to be okay—that it’s not painful. I do recall you were the one trembling though. You must have held hers like you did mine.

Do you tell her stories about your plans in life?

We used to plan a lot remember? We would put different colored stickers in a map to mark the places we would like to visit together.

Paris

New York

Japan

London

Venice

Milan

Rome

Remember that time when Daddy got angry because he thought we ran away to go to Disneyland? That was a little scary…and hilarious. But we were, what? Seven at that time? Hahahahahaha…

We should have gone then.

Krystal must miss you a lot.

I…

Drops of tears gradually blot the paper.

hate you.

How can you do this to me?

All this time… all this time…

How can you do this to me?

How can you just go and leave me?

I didn’t even get to say goodbye.

How dare you leave me?

What happened to friends forever?

You were supposed to wait for me to get better.

What happened to our plans to go to Disneyland?

To Paris?

To New York?

You even promised me, you’ll tour me around Korea. I’m in Korea now.

You’re such a liar.

How could you?

How could you just leave?

Didn’t you promise me that we will go play something fun when I get better? I AM better NOW.

Why aren’t you here?

You’re supposed t
