Dear Sungyeol,
It’s Howon, in case you didn’t gather from the email.
You’re surprised to see this, right? It’s been ten years since we’ve disbanded. and ten years since we’ve talked, and ten years too late
Honestly I don’t know why I’m writing this. or where I’m getting the courage to, looking at what happened between us
I guess I’m getting old and nostalgic.
So how have you been?
I’m still working as a backup dancer and choreographer at Woollim. because I was the only one who couldn’t escape from the memories
There’s a new group they want me to train, and they’re going to debut next month.
They’re a bit like us when we were young. Tight. Inseparable. What happened to Infinite? What happened to us?
I guess our disbandment was inevitable.
When Myungsoo and Dongwoo left and it was just the five of us,
I guess things just didn’t work well anymore. And it was because we had no one else that we ended up leaning on each other and we were going much too far much too fast and I got scared and said some stupid things I shouldn’t have and I hurt you so badly
And then soon after they told us to disband, so I guess we had no choice. and I never got to clear it up and you don’t know how much it still kills me
I don’t know. I just want to make sure you’re still doing alright. because I know you loved me and I didn’t return it back and you got hurt didn't you?
Hope to hear from you soon. because what you don’t know is, I loved you too

Dear Howon,
So after ten years, you finally decide to contact me? I guess you did because I didn’t have the guts to
And you expect me to pretend nothing ever happened? even though I was happy doing that for ten years in a life that’s like a lie
Thank you for your concern, really, but I've completely not
moved on.
I'm married now, to a beautiful woman named Kang Soomin. though she’s not as beautiful as you when you dance, and will never be
I met her while I was at Jeju, on a holiday right after Infinite’s disbandment. but that trip to Jeju was actually really me running away from you, running away from our finite infinity, our memories, our everything
We’ve moved to Australia, we're happily married, or so I would like to believe
and we have two children. their names are Hojun and Hosuk, I don’t know why we named them that, it reminds me too much of you
Anyway, I’m not sure what your point is. Ten years is a long time. and the scars still fucking hurt
I'd like it if you didn't write back again. because I really don't think that I can deal with my heart breaking a second time
