Riki, i'm sorry it had to be this way honestly i like you too you're a great person
but no expectations alright? i appreciate that you're willing to wait for me to heal and i seriously feel shitty that i still can't get over my past wounds 12:18am
i've grown attached to you because you were there during my lowest times, i guess that counts for something right? but i'm also being careful that i don't take advantage of your kindness towards me, really i hope you know i mean well. for me, it's all in or nothing and i don't want to give you false hopes when i'm not ready 12:25am
i understand i just wanted to let it out or the regret will consume me later, when it's too late i hope i wasn't selfish and that it doesn't compel you to make any harsh decisions 12:30am
if anything, i'm grateful i know it takes a lot of courage to tell someone ab how you truly feel, guys especially 12:33am
i hope you remember that when your past becomes overbearing at times, remember you're more than what hurt you 12:35am
you really know how to comfort people with your words, don't you? 🙃 12:38am
all the more reason to date me, i guess? no i'm kidding now's def not the time 12:41am
we really can't be serious for more than an hour,can we? lol 12:45am
i shouldn't have ruin the mood but i want you to know that if this gets too much for you, don't hesitate to tell me ✓ 01:22am
sorry, shitty connectivity let me know when's your return flight to korea goodnight Jiwoo ✓ 02:05am

iMessage Today 02:27pm
Konon,are you free?
what's up babygirl tell me, is it okay if we text?? wi-fi's down
no problem, is Riki still asleep?
he sure is, bet y'all were up all night texting some cringy stuff ew i don't want to know 😮💨😮💨😮💨
come on! 😂 you seriously can't do this to me
as much as i love you i don't want to know that side of my brother
it's nothing like what you're imagining it to be but he IS good with words and NOT in the cheesy way
okay enough of that tell me what's up? or did you just text me to ask about my brother? did our friendship really not mean anything to you?
stop being dramatic omg look who's talkingggg i wonder who ghosted who
okay fine you got me there but i really wasn't in a good place back then 😭 we talked ab this on the phone
i'm just messing with you when are you leaving? istg our timing sucks fr
on 4th, 6pm🤧 ikrr, i would've loved to meet up and maybe introduced both of you too
no way, i'm returning the next day 🥺💔
wow that really sucks next time for sure but only if you're still in korea
i actually wanted to talk about that🙃 just when i thought i hit rock bottom, sigh i couldn't clear my SAT and to say my parents are 'upset' with me is an understatement:)
my love, you can tell me anything! i'm always here for you. go on, tell me
i got into a huge argument with them because they never get what i'm going through i try so hard to be the good daughter they want me to be but they're never satisfied:) honestly it's just tiring and the pressure is really weighing down on me, i was okay leaving the country but it's like the universe is against me too and i honestly don't know anymore i don't know how to say this without making you a little uncomfortable bc you're not used to this side of your brother
i'm sorry you have to go through all that, love if there's anything i can do to help or make you feel better, please let me know, sucks how i'm not there for you right now:(
no, why are you apologising this is all on me, having to listen to my rant is also a big thing dw
now tell me what about my brother, i hope he didn't put you in any bad situation
if anything, he helped me through a rough patch he's a great person, and i wish i wasn't so messed up. i think it's cause i've been treated so wrong that being treated right suddenly feels wrong like i don't deserve him ours def wasn't a meet-cute you already know but somewhere along those days of constant texting, i think we formed some mutual feelings towards eo, but i'm awfully scarred and as much as i want to give us a chance, i think i need more time
love, look you REALLY deserve to be treated with love but if you're not ready now, it's okay to prioritise your well-being. It's okay to feel sad in the process because your emotions are valid and healing takes time. i know you're doing this for the best. and it's okay to be selfish, if it means becoming a better version of yourself, you'll realize how brave and wise you were to make the right decision now.
