Hey Jaesung,

This might seem strange, writing you a letter out of the blue, especially since we’ve only bumped into each other a few times—literally, I mean. But for some reason, you’ve been on my mind, and I felt like I needed to say something. I don’t know if it’s because of those random encounters or something deeper, but I’ve been feeling this weird sense of familiarity with you. Like I’ve known you for a long time, even though we’ve barely exchanged a few words.

I don’t know how else to explain it. It’s like every time I see you, there’s this recognition, like we’re supposed to know each other more than we do. I’ve never really believed in stuff like fate or past lives, but meeting you, I can’t help but question that. Maybe I’m overthinking things, but it’s been hard to shake this feeling.

You probably don’t remember much about me. We’ve only crossed paths a couple of times, and every time I walk away from those brief moments, I keep thinking I should’ve said something. I should’ve asked you more about yourself, tried to actually get to know you. But I never did. I guess part of me didn’t want to come off as weird or pushy.

But the truth is, there’s something about you that makes me feel like I already do know you. It’s a strange feeling, like meeting an old friend for the first time, if that makes any sense. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t expect you to feel the same, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Maybe this is me reaching out, trying to understand why I feel this connection. Or maybe it’s just me finally acting on that instinct that’s been gnawing at me since the first time we bumped into each other. I know we haven’t had much of a chance to talk, but I’d like to change that. I want to know more about you, where you come from, and what your story is.

I guess, in a way, I’m hoping this letter is the start of a conversation we should’ve had a long time ago—whenever that “long time ago” might have been.

Anyway, if you’re ever down to talk or grab a coffee or something, let me know. No pressure, though. Just thought I’d put it out there.

Take care, Jae.
