To Sister

I love you
I never once told you, but

I love you

Now rest peacefully

in a world where I am not

Forever

Ever since I was young, we were poor 
Unlike other families, we didn't eat out

By the time I came back and sister and brother weren't home, 
I would make ramen and eat alone

But then I grew tired of eating ramen

"I want to eat something better!" I yelled.

So sister went and got the money

It was her hidden savings that she was using to save for a flute

I was so happy with one bowl of Jajangmyeon 

But for some reason sister didn't eat any

Sister said she didn't like Jajangmyeon 

That's how we live

We regret

Tears falling down

That's how we live

It hurts so much 
But we smile again

When I was in elementary school
We would open up our lunchboxes to share

But some rich kid yelled at me.

"If you side dishes are like that then what does that make me?"
I was embarrassed, tears were coming down my face 

He started teasing me

I couldn't take it anymore so I ran 

Then sister used up her savings again to try and make me a better meal 
She put her time and effort in it and I never once thanked her

That's how we live

We regret

Tears falling down

That's how we live

But we smile again

Sister!
Are you watching me right now, right? 

I love you a lot

I love you

I will tell you now

You who are more important than anyone else

More important than anyone

I will

That's how we live

We regret

Tears falling down

That's how we live

It hurts so much 
But we smile again

I love you
I never once told you, but

I love you

Now rest peacefully

in a world where I am not

Forever

Thank you very much. We still haven't found her corpse yet, but the police are still looking.

I'm so sorry, Ji-Suk. This must have been hard for you to write, but thank you for sharing it with us. You always know just how to put emotions into words that some of us could never describe.
Stay strong, my friend.

Thank you very much! I miss my sister a lot since she died young and we still haven't been able to discover her corpse yet.

[Annabella]

Oh my goodness, that's terrible! I hope she is found soon. That's so hard.

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

I don't think she'll be found since it's been several years already.

[Annabella]

Hang in there, Ji-Suk.

Now you made tears roll down my eyes!
Most of the time am fighting with my sister...as she taunts me at every task....but the truth is she's the one doing household works more than me....
I don't think I should delay in telling her thank you and love you...so I never have to regret...if she gets away of me ever!
Thanks for sharing this Ji Suk😊

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

Oh thank you! I am glad you were able to feel the emotion. My sister died young and we still haven't been able to discover her corpse yet.

That's heart wrenching Ji Suk...and the truth is no one here can know the pain as extreme as you've been gone through!
Your sister will be proud of you wherever she is😊
