SHINee's Key Writes A Loving And Emotional Letter To His Late Bandmate Jonghyun

Earlier today, Kim Kibum (better know by his stage name Key) took to Instagram to share his feelings about the recent passing of his fellow SHINee member, Jonghyun

• Shortly after the funeral processions today, he posted the following photo of a handwritten letter addressed to the late Jonghyun, accompanied by a bracelet previously given to him as a birthday present from Jonghyun.

The English translation of the letter reads as follows:

• • "To Jonghyun hyung whom I love...
    
    Hyung, this is Kibum. I sent you off today and saw your face yesterday, but I still can't believe it. I'm sorry for visiting you so late because of work, and I'm sorry I wasn't a source of strength when you were lonely.
    
    You and I were the two most stubborn members of our group, so we had to do everything we wanted to do. You did everything you wanted, and in the end, you made the decision and left us first... it was really hard at first, but after spending time with only you for the past three days, I think I understand how you felt.
    
    Don't be too worried that you left before us. I'll respect and look after your mom and sister like my own family.
    
    I'll miss you for a very long time. I'm worried because the person who always took my side at meetings is gone now. You and I talked the most during our meetings... I'll have to get used to not having you here now. I'm going to try to live a better life too. When I get older and meet you again, tell me I did well. Jonghyun hyung, you were the best artist, friend, hyung and colleague to me.
    
    You worked hard, and I love you so much!"
