dear ddeonu, as another year has passed by, i wanted to take this opportunity to put into words how much i adore and treasure you. a letter will barely scratch the surface of all the love i feel for you, but i wanted to, at the very least, attempt to encapsulate it. here’s to you, my beloved sunshine. i don't remember the exact moment it happened, when or where. but i know that somewhere along the way, i fell in love with you. somewhere along the way, i got lost in your sparkling fox eyes, your rosy pink peach cheeks, and your charming sunshine smile. i haven't been the same since. since i’ve loved you, my life has become so much brighter in more ways than one. i find myself inspired to enjoy the small but precious moments in life as i think of you. in you i find the will to cherish every day and live life to the fullest. i have felt so much more hope in what i once believed was a hopeless world for me. you lit up my life as your radiant existence shined brighter than the brightest star in the sky. my dear ddeonu, i don't think words could ever be enough to express what i feel for you. i never knew what it was like to be in love until i found you. i hope that someday you can know how much i love you, but i’ll be content to cherish and support you as a baragi and engene. thank you for being a light in my life, kim sunoo. thank you for shining so brightly and giving us your love. no matter how much time passes and as life goes on, i will always think of you and hold you dear in my heart. to my beloved sunoo, happy birthday! ♡
