Dear Heo June,

I hope you don’t expect too much from me because I am not a guy that is good with his words. Yet that doesn’t mean I won’t try to do my best and make this a good letter, as good as I can make it! So… where should I start? I remember you being the first person I talked to when I was new here and you were so welcoming, I mean other people are too but even though I had no other friends other than Yeri you were nice to me and welcomed me with open arms and even watched fancams that I sent you and it means a lot to me because you didn’t even know what I look like or had any type of interest in Seventeen. From the past two to three weeks I’ve known you, you’re such a nice and gentle young woman and it makes me happy that we are friends. I might not seem like it, but I cherish our friendship a lot so it hurts my heart when you say people under appreciate you because you need all the appreciation in the world! You’re so precious it hurts my heart when you are sad and I just want to wrap my arms around you and tell you how important you are and I just want to say thank you for being my friend. And I am extremely sorry when I get distracted or seem uninterested or seem like I am ignoring you because that is never the case and I would never, in my entire life ignore you on purpose. I just want to see you happy and smiling because that’s when June noona is the prettiest!! I really, really enjoy your company and I can’t wait until we watch a movie together. Always take care of yourself, ahh.  You make my motherly side come out even though I am a guy and younger….

Dear Kim Yerim, 

All the past letters Ihave written to you have rendered me speechless. I don’t think thereis anything more I can say or add, most of the things I say are justconstantly being repeated in other phrases or sentences. You shouldvery well know how much you mean to me. I might be a bother from timeto time and I am sorry for saying insensitive things. I just tend tophrase things weirdly or just talk without having properly thought itthrough. But yet you are here, with me, all the time and put up withme, no matter how many mistakes I’ve made. And I just want to thankyou for being my best friend, someone I can go to, someone who islike a family to me. I just want you to know that I am always herefor you, no matter what circumstances. You could call me at 3am andI’d pick up the phone for you because I know you would do the same.You’re „rude“ towards me but I am too, that’s just how ourfriendship works and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It just makesthe times you say cute things like „I love you“ or „you’re agood person“ much more precious to me. Stop rushing me into writingyour letter!! I am trying to be mushy here. Now I’ve lost my train ofthoughts… thank you very much. Well, yeah, I guess you can call meyour family because I am always here for you, it doesn’t matter to mewhat time or day it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s because you arehappy or sad, nothing matters, I am always here, next to you! And Iwould’ve never thought that we’d be still friends for so many years.Ahhh, not talking to you for even one day feels weird! I will betaking my leave now… this is getting too emotional.

Dear future me, 

Hello, Kim Mingyu. How areyou doing? I hope that you stay true to yourself and constantly tryyour best to make everyone (including yourself) around you happy. Doyour best for Seventeen and your fans, try your best to neverdisappoint them. Are you proud enough to say that is where you wantto be in life? I hope so. Have you started acting yet? That is one ofour big dreams.. I hope you are healthy and hope you visit mom anddad enough times. Has Seventeen been on a world tour yet? You betteralways stay in touch with all of your 12 brothers, no matter whatcircumstances. They’re your family and they’ve got your back and viceversa. Improve your dancing, singing and most importantly yourrapping! Oh and… lyrics. Maybe we can be good enough one day tocompete against Woozi hyung. ㅋㅋㅋRemember, our dream is not „to be something“ but rather„wherever I am, whatever I do, I hope people will like me“. MaybeI am too young to write a letter to future me so I don’t know whatelse to add… I guess I might come back to this so I can add thingslittle by little. Take care! Also if you ever win an award, try not to cry because it will look ugly on TV.

Dear Chou Tzuyu, 

I still have no endearingnickname to call you so your name will make do. We’ve just known eachother for a little while (ignoring the fact that I had watchedSixteen before your debut) and I can already tell you are a funperson to be around. Yes, you’re young (but so am I) but also verymature for your age. In the past days I’ve been growing closer toknowing more about you and that’s really cool, because well, we havea lot of things in common and it does make me too excited for my owngood sometimes but please, bear with the child in me! Maybe I am alittle too nice to you… after all we are rivals right now forTheShow but still, you’re a cute person and I am a big fan of you andyour group! (Especially, you know who… but I won’t mention herbecause it’s a letter to you.) Ahhh, I am not very good with my wordsso I don’t know what to say other than that I wish we can remainfriends for a long time. Also I can’t wait for the signed CD! SomedayI will introduce you to Jeonghan hyung and the other Seventeenmembers, and we can make Niu Rou Mian together. I might have not saidit and it’s a little late but congratulations on the debut and youlooked pretty! And you improved a lot. Dance wise and also vocalwise, you’re no “useless” visual. Also I do know some chinesewords so don’t think I didn’t know you’ve been calling me cute allthe time before we even had our deal. I will try to be the best humanteddy bear/prince forever. ㅋㅋㅋ

Dear Jeon Wonwoo, 

I wish for christmas thatyou’ll get a book on how to be nice to Kim Mingyu. After all we arebest friends and I am only one year younger than you (which is weird,considering  I am taller than you) yet you still treat me as if I wasa child! I am no longer 12. Everything else aside, you’re very dearto me and I look forward to dating you part-time every weekend! Maybewe can finally find a good horror movie along the way, because theone from yesterday really… sucked. I don’t want to make this toomushy for our own good, it’ll just embarrass me and you will justfind a new thing to tease me with. I have no idea what else to write,we talk every day and see each other every day so I don’t thinkthere’s a need for a letter to show you how much I appreciate thatyou are my (best) friend. I am glad we debuted in the same grouptogether but I also feel sorry for you because I am the most handsomeone out of whole HipHop-Unit. I wish that we, Seventeen, cancelebrate many more anniversaries and make music together until weare old and can barey dance anymore! I’ll never stop being anannoying dongsaeng towards you either, so don’t try to get toofriendly with other males and don’t make them your best friend.
