It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve written on hereㅎㅎ

When we went to Korea recently, it must have been because of the last cold snap, but it was a bit chilly.
Did any of you catch a cold~
I.. am starting to feel betterㅎㅎ Be careful!!^^
I don’t know if it’s because I saw cherry blossoms in Japan, and am feeling the spring early,
