you were someone who made me see the world differently it's hard to get along with someone this well

we walked for hours with no destination captured pretty views in our camera got lost in thought looking at the night sky sang in the streets while drunk on alcohol [you] always charged my phone for me when i fell asleep drunk [you] said we should exercise even when it's pouring, so we climbed namsan while getting hit by the rain if we ordered some late-night food because we got the munchies and then slept, we'd send each other photos the next morning of who's puffier/more bloated when we ate, you'd look at me with content and say "father you're eating so well (written in an accent/dialect)" we've laughed at useless things, got red in the face and fought about useless things, and didn't contact each other despite feeling sad because we let our pride get in the way, but eventually missed each other and apologized made up and had even more fun after that as if it never happened worked hard as much as we played hard you're admirable for even doing that so well you monitored me more attentively than anyone and respected me more than anyone you were kind and well-mannered to everyone around me, so if you ever came up, everyone would praise you you were happy and sad for me for every moment, as if it was yours to my friend bin, whom saying "i love you" to wasn't awkward or embarrassing, and who hugged and comforted me until the very end saying you're a good person is not even close to [who you are] you're my lifelong pride given all of this, i can live with pride saying that i was your closest friend, right?

if i want to see you, i can see you, if i want to hear you, i can hear you i really believe you're looking after me from heaven you're gonna monitor me during this promotion too right? i'm gonna reflect on your feedback so look after me, i'm gonna get through this somehow while thinking you're watching

i was so honored to be your friend and thank you for being my friend thank you again for making me learn and feel so many things

just be whoever you want up there, let go of the responsibility, pressure, and guilt do everything you want and wait for me i'm going to bear with everything and live on i'm going to take care of your people/loved ones and live making lots of memories so that our memories don't become a blur one bit i'll spread all of the memories i hold with you for at least everyone who loved you in those moments, i hope you can watch while smiling with content again if there's anything you need, come to me in my dreams you're my friend in the next life no matter what see you up there! i'll give you a tight hug as soon as i see you i love you a lot🫶 you worked hard, bin.
