A letter to my roommates

  Hello, guys!

  It's me, Eric. I can't believe that we've already lived for 25 days! I still remember your curious, excited faces when we first met in July 24th.
  Ever since that day, we have slept together, ate together, studied together, and most of all, played together. I wonder how am I going to forget you throughout your life! Some of you have the chance to meet me again, but other kids don't stand a chance. Maybe I'll never be able to meet you again. That makes me so sad.....we'll keep in touch, I hope.
  But who knows how things go, maybe I'll meet one of you, maybe 10 years later in the army, 20 years later at my workplace or 30 years later in a vacation! Wow!
  As you will know, we've only got two days until we go home. Then we'll meet our dear ol' family again, won't we? I got all your phone numbers, and I hope you guys got each other's, and then we'll have a lovely talk show! Haha, we'll have company to keep whenever it's the middle of vacation and you're feeling so terribly bored.
  I think it would be very good when we all live next door in a neighborhood, with our families, and able to just visit any of the houses for a play. But I thought of one bad thing too. Haven't you ever felt this thing...?
  I am going to Busan for the Chuseok holidays and meet my aunt and uncle, my cousins, and my grandparents. I wish that they lived closer to Seoul, but whenever I imagine that, then the happiness whenever we meet would be lessened, since we meet often and it doesn't take much effort. I think  it would be similar with you guys too.
  Maybe the only way to feel just like this has only one way; coming here all again and being roommates.
I had great pleasure in meeting you all, and let's spend the rest of our time joyfully.
