Milk Tea and Love notes | Yeonbin ✓

1

Soobin opens his locker slowly, carefully.

He looks around the room to make sure no one is watching what he's doing. And sure enough, everyone is getting ready to shower after the exhausting practice, there's also some chatter here and there, but he is sure no one would notice him.

So Soobin turns back to his locker and looks for the familiar-looking envelope. It's always the brown envelope, a soft manila parched paper, neatly handwritten and sealed. The time the person took in doing this itself shows the sincerity behind it.

His heart skips a beat as he picks up the letter and the warm tea nearby. The tea was surprisingly warm always, just the way he liked it.

His heart stutters before opening the envelope in anticipation. He carefully opens the letter, in hopes to not hurt even the cells of the paper.

Soobinnie,

Being in love is like falling into a blissful sleep.
It happens slowly, then very suddenly you find yourself asleep.
You then find yourself never wanting to wake up again.
The more I think about you, the deeper in sleep I get.
Falling for you was just like that.
I still don't want to wake up and I hope I never have to.

Love,
The one who wants to make you smile!

A smile creeps up into his face, funny how a few lines could make all his worries disappear.

After that awful practice, which ended with their coach yelling at him this is exactly what he needed. He secretly was looking forward to it every now and then.

Soobin doesn't know who his secret admirer is, but he's known for a while that it's someone he knows. The details in the letter always specified his little mannerisms. The tea was always his favorite, and exactly the way he liked it; so he knew his admirer was nearby. It made him worry a bit, but also made his heart flutter a lot more times.

But also, being the basketball team captain; oftentimes he falls in pranks. So he couldn't help but think what if this someone is pranking him? Doing this on purpose knowing that Soobin likes men?

What if they are secretly laughing at Soobin, watching him read each letter carefully, and tucking them safely into his bag? But shouldn't they have stopped by now?

He brushed off those thoughts.

The letters came at times when Soobin would be away from his stuff as if this person knows, or he's around Soobin enough.

There's something about the words, something so incredibly raw and real that Soobin can't shake off the feeling that whoever this person is means everything they write 100%. And this has been going on long enough, and consistently to the point where Soobin knows it can't possibly be a prank.

And that's why he treasures them. The letters, soft manilla that has a mild wood scent to it and as well as the bottles, small cute little glass ones.
