Considering I couldn&#8217;t speak properly when we first met, quite some time has passed. He was one of the people who came to see me after hearing I had been hospitalized since December 20, 2023, and had barely survived a brush with death. Many people came to visit, but Taehyung Hyung-nim consistently kept in touch and met with me. We&#8217;ve met almost every month since February 2024. Since my body isn&#8217;t fully recovered, our meetings usually took place at my home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When we met, we didn&#8217;t have any profound conversations. We just talked about small things like whether I was eating and sleeping well, how I was doing, and what I was studying these days. There was nothing particularly grand, but we gradually learned about each other&#8217;s lives through these small chats. I was curious about how he was doing, and he listened attentively to my stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">My connection with Hyung-nim seems to have started 14 or 15 years ago. When we first met, I was a section chief, and Taehyung Hyung-nim was a branch manager. I first greeted him in March, and I got married in April. At that time, I didn&#8217;t know many people at the company, but Taehyung Hyung-nim took me to various places and introduced me to many individuals. From then on, I developed a good impression of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, I&#8217;ve maintained a good relationship with Hyung-nim. It makes me think about how people form and maintain relationships throughout their lives. Relationships can distance themselves or sometimes deepen as people who like each other and those who don&#8217;t meet. However, it seems the number of people one meets decreases over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It would be nice to talk and have fun with more people and greet them often, but my feelings have changed a lot since my injury. There are many times when I don&#8217;t want to meet people. Some days, spending time with people is good, but on other days, it&#8217;s even difficult, and I want to stop everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Now that my body is gradually improving, I&#8217;ll need to meet people and talk, but honestly, I don&#8217;t have a strong desire to talk yet. So, I spend a lot of time alone. Through that time, I try to organize myself and find what I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And looking at Taehyung Hyung-nim, I also think about how I want to become an important presence to others someday. I will strive to become a good person like Hyung-nim in the future, someone who can have a positive influence on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Simple, Repetitive Word Practice \u2013 Speech Support (English)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic Attic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance Ambulance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves Gloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house Thatched-roof house<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth Teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb Light bulb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf Ginkgo leaf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer Roe deer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator Calculator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat Hat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug Ladybug<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut Peanut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope Stethoscope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato Sweet potato<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started meeting Taehyung Hyung-nim in February 2024.
