key to your happiness

[MINJOO POV]

Did she just say I'm her way to express her feelings??

Never... there was never a person who told me such things like that...

I'm so happy. I'm so so happy. I thought I'll be lonely forever but then she has come into my life.

While thinking of that, I noticed that people don't appreciate their friendships or any other relationships enough because they're used to it. Even I watched humans from a distance, I know that they never show any appreciation to their mates. They don't notice how lucky they are. They aren't thankful or grateful.

I never had this in my whole life. But now.. I have someone. And it feels so different. For normal humans, it's a common sense but for me, it's a bless. It's something I appreciate the most. Kim Chaewon is someone I appreciate a lot. Her words move me to tears. I can't hold it back. I have to cry but not because of sadness, it's because of gratefulness.

"Minjoo?! Why are you crying??" She asked while seeming very worried

"Don't worry. I am crying because I'm happy" I told her with a smile but still crying

"Happiness??"

"Yes. You're the first one to tell me such wonderful words like those. If you grow up with people around you who care about you, you totally forget that you need to be thankful to that and don't tell your close people how much you appreciate them. To have caring people is a bless. Because I never had caring people until you entered my life, it's the most wonderful thing someone can give to me. Maybe it was a good thing to had no one until now because if I had friends from the beginning on, I wouldn't have this beautiful feeling I'm having right now. Thank you so much Kim Chaewon. I appreciate you a lot.." I said with a bright and soft smile but then changed my face to a surprised one. "Wait I was able to say this and express my feelings in a conversation and not in a text-"

"I know the reason." Chaewon said

"Oh? Tell me the reason"

"Minjoo, it sounds weird but I thought about destiny and stuff and imagine people's souls being in a lonely room to understand it easier. You want to leave this room so bad but you need a key. The key can be a thing or a person. The desire of expressing feelings outside of a text wanted to escape from this room. They escaped caused by me. That means, I am your key. I know that if you lose a key you can create a new one but I have a question..." she said

The way of her imagination is so creative! Chaewon is a very interesting person

"Tell me your question Chaewon"

"Can I continue being your key? I want to be your key to happiness because... you're my key too. You didn't know it probably but you are my key. My feelings were locked so I couldn't express them but when I met you in your house, I was able to show them. That's because you, the key, made my feelings escape of this room. I need you and if you need a key then I want to be your key." She said

That's... the most beautiful thing I've ever heard...

"Of course! Be my key. Please be my key. And I want to continue being your key too! Let's help each other~" I said with a happy smile right after I had stopped crying.

"Thank you so much Minjoo... let's go to my home!" Chaewon said
