Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you today? I hope that you’re healthy and that you’re full of happiness and assurance or peace. Please don’t overexert yourself. You know, I’m not a believer of limitations or restrictions, but I keep seeing how they’re important to keep us secure, safe, and healthy. When something in your body hurts, please listen and take a rest. No amount of worry can get your health back. I know you’ve been too busy this entire year, and although you don’t need a long rest, I hope that you’re at least sleeping 8, or more, hours a day and getting proper meals. For me, you’re always sexy no matter what you do, and you’re hotter and sexier for the past months due to your magazine and album shoots, but it worries me when you’re being hard on yourself. Let’s keep a healthy lifestyle, okay? (I’ll also change my some of my destructive habits too).

It’s also exciting to know about your project with Sim Invest again, especially your awesome “What’s your dream?”, “Who’s your best friend?” and “What do you want to do in the future?” lines. I’m always amazed by how inspirational this project is. Your ad videos for the brand at the start of this year were just super amazing. I remember loving them so much. It’s just unfortunate that I was at the wrong place, so disturbed by my environment, that my emotional, intellectual, and intuitive radars were off. It’s really important that we surround ourselves with like-minded people, right? Or, at least, affectionate people, right? I should listen more to you, Taehyung-ah, and look up to your ways. My only fear is that you’re risking a lot. It’s something we still have a long way to learn.
I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your armys, love you so much. Always remember that. May we always be your friends to make you comfortable. May we be among your many sources of strength and vitality so that you can go beyond and be successful in any endeavor you’ll take this year. We’ll support you through thick and thin. Please take good care of yourself. Eat and sleep properly and keep a healthy lifestyle and optimistic mindset. May your days always be filled with happiness, graces, and blessings. May all your dreams come true and may you be happy, successful, and peaceful in 2023. 👼😘 Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💜💜💜💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️
