Write a letter to say sorry to your friends

Dear Khanh Ngan (Natsbaebae), I’m writing
this
letter with sincerity to express my apologies to you for what happened recently. I truly regret and feel guilty for unintentionally making you upset and uncomfortable by defending someone you dislike, even though I didn’t mean to. I understand that you might have felt hurt and disappointed in that situation because I didn’t stand by your side. I never intended for my actions to make you feel like I wasn’t respecting your feelings. I hope you know how much I value our relationship, and it’s never my intention to create any problem between us. Sometimes I don’t think
things
through
as well as
I should, and that’s probably what happened here. I was kidding but ended up making
things
more complicated, and that’s not what I wanted at all. I hope that we can move past
this
, and I’d love for
things
between us to go back to how they were before. Our relationship is important to me, and I don’t want to lose it over a misunderstanding or careless words.
Also
, if you could unblock me on Messenger, I’d appreciate the chance to talk to you properly and clear the air. I don’t want
this
to stand between us for too long so we can share our moments. Plus, tomorrow I can show you how to set up your camera to get the best shots, I think you’ll enjoy taking even more beautiful photos! If there’s anything more I can do to make
things
right, just let me know ml. iu e Warmly, Thai Son
