A letter from Jul 28, 2022

Dear FutureMe, The news of Jang Gyuri not signing with their new company to continue her activities as a member of fromis_9 dropped 12 hours ago, and I have not stopped crying since then. Don't worry I am hydrating myself every second and maybe that's also the reason why tears just seem to never end. I have lots of questions in my head that I want to ask to her and it's keeping me up right now, though not that late but my body feels extra heavy tonight, my eyes stings as well and my head hurts, I might have cried too much. I wanted to see them in person as nine but I guess it will never happen, isn't it heartbreaking? You understand what I currently feel, right? I can't blame her for wanting to pursue her long time dream but I also can't help but feel upset about her leaving the eight girls. I wish they could comfort us right now but it's all radio silence today and it's even harder to deal with it this way. I have cycled through the five stages of grief and I still feel lost, it's a never ending tunnel. I love them, fromis_9 is part of my youth and this feels like having to watch your bestfriend you are emotionally invested with walk away from you, taking a complete different path. Am I too dramatic? I think you might giggle at how absurd this letter sounds to you but they have always been my emotional support until now and maybe for the following years to come. I should ask you if you still love them the same way as I do right now, or did you stop supporting them for some reasons? I won't be upset, we are all bound to outgrow something that we used to love and enjoy at some point of our lives, so I understand you. But if you still do, wow! You are amazing and I hope you will continue to do what makes you happy. Aren't they such an amazing group of girls? Their raw and genuine friendship really got us, and of course nine beautiful girls who are all born to perform on stage and shine. I wish you have seen them in person by the time you read this letter, because I am congratulating you in advance! Send me back a letter on how gyuri has been and if she's happy and doing well with the career she chose because I really want her to succeed and enjoy the things she's doing! Check up on her all the time alright? Support her current activities and upcoming projects. That's all I could ask from you, shing/ky 3 years from now. :) OT9 FOREVER!!!!!!!!
