As usual I came to school a lot earlier than necessary. I took out packet of cigarettes and lighter. When I was done with it I entered the school and went directly to my safe place. That old bathroom. No one knew about it, no one of my friends or like anyone in school. With "Not working" sign on the doors no one even tried to enter it. So i used it as a place to hide from people who don't understand me.

The last toilet, I broke the lock on it a long time ago. I always made sure to close it before leaving the bathroom. But this time it was opened.

The first thing I did was checked to see if any of my lyrics has been destroyed or anything, but it was all fine. For a moment I thought I accidentally left the door open but then I saw it.

-- .   - --- --- ~ FL

Someone was here. And that someone read my lyrics. And that someone knows morse code. And that someone knows english. And that someone knows about this place.

But why did they leave a signature?

Without thinking much I pulled out a pencil from my bag and wrote the next message.

.-- .... ---  .- .-. .  -.-- --- ..-  .- -. -..  .-- .... -.--  .-- . .-. .  -.-- --- ..-  .... . .-. . ? (Who are you and why were you here?)

I decided to come back here when all the classes are over to check for a reply.

...

My body is covered with bruises because of yesterday. But luckily none of them are on visible place. It was lunch break and I went towards that dusty bathroom. The first thing I checked was the wall. Not expecting anything I was shook when I saw some dots and lines.

.-- .... ---  .- .-. .  -.-- --- ..-  .- -. -..  .-- .... -.--  .-- . .-. .  -.-- --- ..-  .... . .-. . ? (Who are you and why were you here?)

I lowky got excited about it even tho that person might be dangerous.

Thinking about what to write I took my pen and pressed it against the dirty white wall.

..  .- --  -. ---  --- -. . .-.-.-  ..  .-- .- ...  .... . .-. .  -.-. .- ..- ... .  ..  .-- .- -. - . -..  - ---  --. . -  .- .-- .- -.--  ..-. .-. --- --  .--. . --- .--. .-.. . .-.-.- (I am no one. I was here cause I wanted to get away from people.)

And once again I left a signature. FL

...

The last class was over and I went to my safe place. I was scared that my lyrics would leak somewhere. They are not just plain song lyrics, these were written by me and all of them were my feelings. I don't think anyone would like those to spread around.

I saw it immediately. It was big. The message was long. Very long.

..  .- --  -. ---  --- -. . .-.-.-  ..  .-- .- ...  .... . .-. .  -.-. .- ..- ... .  ..  .-- .- -. - . -..  - ---  --. . -  .- .-- .- -.--  ..-. .-. --- --  .--. . --- .--. .-.. . .-.-.- (I am no one. I was here cause I wanted to get away from people.)

At least we have something in common. We run away from people.

I didn't need to think about what to write, I knew exactly what I wanted to know.

-.. .. -..  -.-- --- ..-  .-. . .- -..  -- -.--  .-.. -.-- .-. .. -.-. ...  --- .-.  -.. .. -..  -.-- --- ..-  ... .... --- .--  - .... . --  - ---  .- -. -.-- --- -. . ..--.. (Did you read my lyrics or did you show them to anyone?)

I guess whoever that person is came here during lunch break so I kept on avoiding this place at that time.

...

And that's how it started

...

-. ---  ..  -.. .. -.. -. -  ..  - .-. .. . -..  - ---  .-. . .- -..  - .... . --  -... ..- -  .. --  -. --- -  ...- . .-. -.--  --. --- --- -..  .- -  -.- --- .-. . .- -.  ... ---  ..  -.. .. -.. -. -  ..- -. -.. . .-. ... - .- -. -..  -- ..- -.-. .... .-.-.-  .... --- .--  .- .-. .  -.-- --- ..-  ... ---  --. --- --- -..  .- -  . -. --. .-.. .. ... .... ..--..  (no i didnt i tried but im not very good at korean so i didnt understand much. how are you so good at english?)

...

At this point both of them were extremely excited to go to that bathroom every day. But the space on the wall was getting smaller with every message they left for each other.
